Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Loney's attitude was neutral. He didn't speak immediately. Moreover, it wasn't the first time women threw themselves at him but what amazed him was how a high profile man like Governor Maxwell, could shamelessly give in to his daughter's silly demands. He patiently waited for later to continue; "So, I propose that you make this a love union. Both of you are single and that would be perfect. In return, I will keep all those mafias off your back and also give you all the government construction contracts. So what is your stand?" Governor Maxwell sipped on his wine and laid back leisurely knowing he had Loney cornered. The opportunity to walk around without watching over his shoulders had enough appeal. However, he was stunned when Loney spoke; "You flatter me, Governor Maxwell," the corner of his lips curled up as he continued, "and I must confess that your style of achieving your daughter's wish is quite impressive. Unfortunately for you, I'm not afraid of the mafia and I don't go ar

Why would he want a baby when he wasn't married? "Who is it?" Loney's deep voice shook her from her trance. "Jasmine," she yelled. Loney froze. Danica couldn't see Loney's expression because of the hot steam from the shower room. The moisture had done a good job in creating a fog inside the shower room, getting an opaque effect. The bathroom was drowned by the sound of the splashing shower, as Loney murmured, "the spoilt brat." He thought his voice was swallowed by the splashing sound of the shower but didn't know Danica had heard him. A wave of relief washed her. If Loney called Jasmine a spoilt brat, then a spoilt brat she was to him. That was enough for her. Sensing that Loney hadn't said anything, she wanted to leave when the sound of splashing water ceased. Loney stepped out of the shower, a towel wrapped around his waist. Danica felt heated up, as he walked towards her. She stretched her hand to give him the phone but he didn't take it immediately. Instead, he held her by the

A heightened measure of tension enraptured Doctor Jeff's office, marked by a deafening silence. Loney's mind was flooded with rage. Was it another betrayal? Files of his seven previous surrogates connected his brain. His trust for Paul dwindled, left alone Doctor Jeff. His brain was charred with all the fearful betrayals from his past. The cessation lingered on, heart rates increasing. Paul lowered his head in embarrassment. He did nothing wrong but he perfectly knew the reason for Loney's outrage. He hated to be disobeyed and this was his surrogate therefore, everything about her was his business. "Loney, it's not what you think. She..." Paul tried to explain but was curtly cut off by Loney's low growl, "really? I gave simple instructions to Paul. Was that too much?" His eyes were heated with fire, focussed on Paul, who sat on a chair in Doctor Jeff's office. Doctor Jeff couldn't understand in the least, what was going on. "Do you mean you weren't aware?" His voice quaked slightly.

"Yes." She was about to alight when her eyes caught sight of another wrapped item. It was the gift Loney purchased for Danica. "Another gift for me? My friends were right. You are such a romantic," Loney froze. Initially, he wanted Jasmine to have the bracelet he bought for Danica. He could purchase another one but then again, he recalled the shop attendant told him that it was one of a kind and he felt a connection to it hence, he couldn't bear seeing it on jasmine's wrist. "It's not what you think, Jasmine. That isn't yours." His expression was so stern, Jasmine's words stuck in her throat. "Oh, I see. See you in three days," she muttered, embarrassment bathing her as she alighted from the car. She was so used to getting everything she wanted, she couldn't stand a no. However, she blamed herself for not acting more mature. As she walked back to the party, she couldn't help thinking about who Loney was going to give that gift to. Was it his gay partner? She had to do something to ma

At Governor Maxwell's House Jasmine was baffled. She had dialled Loney's number and sent countless messages. The calls went to voicemail and her text messages were never delivered. Despite Loney's warning, she still couldn't stay away. If she could just hear his voice, she would be fine. It was a weekend and she didn't know his house, so she would have paid him a surprise visit. She did a few checks through her father's contacts and realized that Loney had been checking in and out of hotels but all the hotels he previously checked in had no record of him since the previous day. Her heart tightened in her chest as she lay on her bed staring into space. She heard a knock on her door. It must be one of the maids coming to clean her room. She hasn't stepped out since she woke up. "Come in," she yelled in agitation. Her father had gone on a trip and she had refused to join Barbie, Linsay and Jane on the shopping spree. All she wanted was Loney. She didn't care about money. She already ha
