Semua Bab THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE : Bab 21 - Bab 30

CHAPTER 21: BURNING DOWN MY LEGACY MAXINE:As I raced to the car park, I could still feel Venus's heat clinging to my skin. Her scent didn't leave me either, as if to remind me that we had unfinished business. “Please touch me, Alpha,” she had begged—on her knees—burning with desire. And I had wanted her too. Damn it, I had wanted her. But the moment my beta's voice pierced through my mind link, my desire for Venus's body vanished."Alpha! The headquarters is on fire."My blood went cold. I’d gotten up from the bed, ignoring Venus's trembling fingers grasping at me. Her glazed eyes silently pleaded for me not to go but I had no choice. I heard her whimper when I left, but I couldn’t afford to look back.I silently drove to the company grounds very fast. The car sped through the darkened streets, and I could see the red glow in the distance growing brighter with every second. I saw the plume of black smoke rising in the air like a thick cloud and my heart sank. When I finally g

CHAPTER 23: TAKING THE CONTRACEPTIVE VENUS:“Are you going to die?” I couldn't help but ask. The way he talked about needing an heir urgently sounded like he wasn't sure he would make it to the next day.Maybe that Draven guy he talked about was more ruthless than Maxine.Maxine didn't respond to my question. He just got out of bed, put on his clothes and left. What a ruthless Alpha.I was still reeling from what he had done to me earlier. The tingling ache between my thighs refused to go away for more than an hour, even after I had soaked myself in warm water, hoping it would quench the fire Maxine had left behind.What kind of drink had he given me?The moment I swallowed that golden liquid, I knew something was wrong. My body betrayed me. My breathing turned shallow, my skin sensitive to the faintest breeze, and my thoughts clouded with desire for sex.I can't believe I had begged that monster to fuck me. I even went on my knees, begging the very man who terrified me most to touch

CHAPTER 25: STANDING UP TO OLIVIA OLIVIA:After Maxine left my room, my stomach growled with hunger. I didn't want to wait for Mira to bring my breakfast. Besides, I was getting too bored sitting idly in my room every day.I moved softly down the staircase, having in mind to prepare my breakfast by myself. The house was unusually quiet for this time of day and I wondered if it was because of last night's incident.The maids would usually be moving about, preparing the Alpha’s breakfast and sweeping through the hallways like ghosts. But today, there was heaviness in the air.Or maybe I was just imagining it. Maxine’s threats still echoed in my head, but so did my secret. The pill I’d taken was already dissolving inside me, defying the very fate he was trying to impose.I felt a little guilty but I had to protect my own interests. If he was going to discard me like a piece of trash and hand my child over to his girlfriend, Olivia, then I would be a fool to get pregnant in the first p

CHAPTER 27: I'M GOING ON A TRIP MAXINE: The door to my office suddenly opened just as I scribbled the last note on the document spread out before me. I didn’t bother to look up. Only one person had the audacity to barge in without knocking."Conrad, ever heard of a thing called knocking?" I muttered, still holding the pen.He chuckled, without looking remorseful. "I can't be knocking at your office door, Alpha. You do nothing in this office but go through files and make strategies. It's not like it's your private bedroom.”I glared at him. “Really? What if I'm having fun here with one of my women?”“Nah, you wouldn't do that.” He strolled in and slumped into the leather chair opposite mine. "Doors are overrated. It only slows you down.""You always have an excuse for not learning some manners," I said dryly. “I don't need to learn manners to play my role as an effective Beta.” He leaned forward. “Have you touched your breeder yet?”“How's that your business? Are you planning to hel

CHAPTER 29: YOU OUGHT TO DIE VENUS:I was going through some documents and reviewing some alliance proposals on my desk in preparation for my trip when Conrad's voice sliced through my thoughts via the mind link."Alpha, I found out something you’re not going to like.”“What?”“Venus bought contraceptive pills a few days ago. I had someone tail her and Mira when they went for a walk. The pharmacy attendant confirmed it."I stopped writing."Are you certain?" I asked coldly."I heard it from Dave, the Gamma’s son I sent to tail them. She confessed it to Mira. Thought you should know before she plays more games.""Summon her to my office," I said aloud, my voice cold and calm, the kind of calm that came before a storm.Minutes later, I heard someone knocking at the door tentatively."Come in," I said without looking up.I heard the door creak open, followed by hesitant footsteps. Her scent reached me before her voice did."You sent for me, Alpha?"I raised my gaze slowly and stared at
