All Chapters of THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

CHAPTER130: THE STRANGER’S KINDNESSVENUS:I hugged my knees tighter to my chest, my entire body trembling as the rain poured down in sheets. My hair was plastered to my face, my clothes heavy and damp, sticking to my skin. The smell of gasoline from the abandoned station mixed with the earthy scent of wet asphalt, and every little sound out there felt like danger lurking.The moment I saw headlights earlier, my heart had stopped. I hid behind the wall and peeped but when the car stopped in front of the gas station and the driver stepped out, I knew I had to change my hiding position.So I pressed myself flat against the ground, crawling behind a half-fallen metal sign and broken crates. My fingers dug into the mud as I held my breath. The man had stepped out of the car, his boots crunching against the gravel as he circled around.“There’s no way Venus will be out here…” he muttered under his breath. “But I still have to check.”I didn’t move. I held myself from even breathing loudly.

CHAPTER 132: THE DOMEVENUS:I don’t know how long I was out, but the next thing I felt was a rough tap on my shoulder.“Hey, miss… wake up.”My eyes snapped open. Two men in black uniforms with the mall’s logo stood over me, flashlights aimed at my face. My heart jumped into my throat. For a second, I thought Maxim had sent them.I pushed myself up from the bench, rubbing my eyes. “What… what is it?”One of them crossed his arms. “We should be the ones asking that. What are you doing here, sleeping in the open like this?”“I…” My throat tightened. Lying wouldn’t help. “I don’t have a place to stay.”They exchanged a quick look.“Are you homeless?” the taller one asked.I nodded slowly, hugging the paper bag with the money tight against my chest. “Yeah. Just for now. I just… I need somewhere to sleep. Please, I’m not causing trouble.”The shorter one squatted a little, his flashlight dimming. “Where are you from?”“Far from here.” My voice cracked. “I don’t wanna talk about it.”He si

CHAPTER 134: THIS IS MY LIFE NOW VENUS:I clutched the little piece of paper the manager gave me like it was some sort of lifeline. My palms were sweaty, my legs shaky, but I forced myself to keep moving until I found the office with a sign that read STAFF MANAGER.I knocked lightly on the door, and a deep voice answered, “Come in.”With trembling hands, I turned the door knob and opened the door slowly. My steps were tentative as I walked into the office. Behind a desk sat a middle-aged man with broad shoulders and tired eyes. He glanced up at me, then at the paper in my hand.I stepped forward and held it out. “Good day, sir. Uh… the manager told me to give you this.”He took it, scanned it briefly, then gave me the kind of nod people give when they don’t really care. “Kendra!” he barked.From a corner, a young woman looked up from a phone she was scrolling on. She had braided hair tied back into a bun and wore the club’s uniform. She wore a short black skirt, white shirt, and blac

CHAPTER 137: FIRST DAY AT WORK VENUS:I stood in front of the mirror in Kendra's room, tugging down the black mini skirt that came with the club uniform. It felt tighter than I wanted, and the sleeveless top clung to me like a second skin, the club logo shining in red glitter on the chest. My reflection didn’t even look like me. I looked more like some random girl trying too hard to make an impression.Kendra leaned against the doorframe, chewing gum, arms crossed. “Don’t look at yourself like that,” she said. “You look fine. Trust me, you’ll see worse out there.”I forced a smile. “This skirt is… short.”She snorted. “Honey, that skirt is nothing. Some of the girls wear it so high you’d think they forgot to finish getting dressed. You’ll get used to it.”I sighed and adjusted the hem again.Before we left, the staff manager handed me a tray and gave me one last warning. “Rule number one, don’t ever offend the customers. Smile, nod, take their money, and move on. Rule number two, if

CHAPTER 139: TRACKING VENUS' PHONE Maxim’s POVConrad carried a black case in one hand, his bow slung across his back, and a damn serious look on his face as he stepped out of the warrior quarters. He was ready to go and track Venus' phone.“Conrad,” I called, my voice sharp.He stopped and turned, waiting for me to speak.“I don’t want to be kept in the dark,” I told him. “Not one second. I want updates every single minute. You hear me?”He nodded without hesitation. “You’ll have my voice in your ear every sixty seconds, Alpha. That’s a promise.”“Good.” I stepped closer, my eyes narrowing on that black case. “And you better find that phone. That thing will give us a lead as to what really happened.”Conrad’s jaw flexed. “We’ll find it.”He moved with his men. They were about four warriors, all sharp, loyal, and the type who didn’t flinch even when facing rogues. They piled into one of the SUVs. I stood there, fists clenched, watching the red glow of their taillights disappear into
