The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 50
Chapter 50Liora's POVHis silver-grey eyes don’t blink. They just stay transfixed on my face. So intense, like he’s trying to memorize every inch. It’s like he’s trying to know the deep secrets I hide behind my eyes.Good grief, why is he looking at me like that?My heart starts doing those annoying things again. It's racing, jolting, tumbling over itself like drunk people on a rampage. Okay, Liora. You need to get away from him. Slowly and steadily. One step at a time.I try to play it cool, shift backward like I just want to lean against the headboard, only this time… I forget I’m at the edge of the bed.“Ahh—!”The scream has barely left my lips when his left hand is already around my waist, the other tossing my poor laptop onto the bed as he catches me like it's his job.No effort.No stress.Not even a wince from my weight pressing onto his hand.“Oh, my poor laptop,” my brain, trying to distract me from the Adonis before me, says in my head. “You’ve been through so much tod—”M

Chapter 49Liora's POV“So, girl, what's going on now, huh? You were beating yourself up one minute, and the next, you had this full-blown smile on your face like you won. Did the judge call you back to change his verdict? Do those things happen in court? Wait—do you know I've never been to court before?” Arianna spits out stupidly, like the buffoon she is.“Shut up, Ari. I'm trying to focus here.” I'm typing away fast on my laptop. There's some pending work I haven't been able to do since the court case came up. And this girl is making it harder.“No, no, nope. You have to entertain my questions first before you continue with whatever you're doing. So, spill, girl. What happened, huh?”Groaning, I raise my head towards the sky. Maybe God can hear my prayer and take this girl away from me. Not death. Just someone to help me distract her. But it's not happening anytime soon, is it? I'd rather just give in.“Well, Evren happened.”“Evren? Oh my God, I knew it! Billionaires are so cool.
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 48
Chapter 48Evren's POVI can't believe it. Two weeks? Two weeks with my child. No. That will happen when I die and leave this earth. Not while I'm still breathing.We were so close to winning. So close. But I think Ronan had paid that judge off. No one in his right senses would give a child to a man who told the mother to abort—not once, but on several occasions.Now he thinks I'm going to let him take my child for a whole two weeks? No way.Liora hid herself in our room as soon as we came back. I've been trying to get her to come out and eat. Tough work."Liora, please come out and eat. You know you barely ate anything this afternoon."Thankfully, Ariana was still with Selina when we got home, so she was able to stay with her in another room. I wouldn't want the child to see her mother crying. I know what seeing that did to me."Liora..." I bang hard on the door, making it vibrate on its hinges. If it comes to it, I'm going to break it down. We can use another room."Please come and
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 47
47Liora's POVWhen Pete refuses to speak, Mr. Davis turns with a little bow to the judge. “Your Honor, you can see that things aren't adding up. My client is clearly being framed. First, we have fake medical results, the doctor goes missing, and then the footage showing her being beaten up, most likely because she refused to deal drugs.”The judge taps his pen on his desk, looking from Joseph to Mr. Davis, until his eyes land on me. I freeze, my mind racing. Why is he looking at me? He shouldn't look at me.With how intense his gaze is, if not for Evren's hand holding mine, I'd have bolted out the door faster than a cheetah.“Mrs. Valesca.”He calls me, his voice stern.“Your Honor?” I respond quickly, standing on trembling legs as I exchange a nervous look with Mr. Davis.“I'd like to ask you some questions. Don't be nervous. Are you fine... you look sick.”I know I'm paler than normal. I can't help it. My spit gets stuck in my throat, as my body seems frozen to the spot. I nod, try
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 46
Chapter 46Liora's POVHis words make the air shift in the courtroom. While my heart flutters with hope, Ronan and his lawyer exchange a brief glance, filled with hatred—or is it fear?I don't notice because Evren starts walking down towards us. In his hands is a folder, which he hands to Mr. Davis.The judge gives a brief recess so the lawyer can go through the evidence Evren has brought in.Then, right there. In front of the judge, the lawyers, Ronan, and his family, Evren gives me a peck on both sides of my jaw and a soft, lingering kiss on the lips.I push him away, clearing my throat and averting my gaze to the floor. Not before noticing the twitch in Ronan's jaw as his eyes remain locked on us.Evren's hand slides to my waist, pulling me flush against his body. A gasp escapes my lips as my eyes fly to his face only to find him engaged in a serious conversation with Mr. Davis. I had been so lost in the sensations of the kiss I hadn't noticed Mr. Davis was back in and the session
The Surrogate's Reckoning Chapter 45
Chapter 45Liora's POV“If that's all, Dr. Madison, you can step down.”She does, her trembling state almost making her fall if not for the police officer who stabilizes her in time.I just can't believe she'll go this far. The question dances in my mind: Was she threatened, bribed, or just decided to ruin another mother's life like this? She knew everything about what Ronan had done to me. I can't believe she wanted my child to go to him.Whatever the case, I'm happy Mr. Davis was able to fight back. I can't ever regret having him as my lawyer.“And now we are calling on our next witness,” Ronan's lawyer announces smugly, making the faint smile I was exchanging with Mr. Davis drop.Witness? Who could it be this time, I wonder. His smugness is bad news already. I'm not left to wonder for long, as the name rolls off his tongue. I freeze, my brain sinking back into the hole of memories I had struggled to bury.“Joseph Pete.”No. No. No.Not Joseph testifying against me. Mr. Davis looks
