All Chapters of The Billionaire's Accidental Surrogate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The air was thick in Clara’s hospital room, the tension in both men’s eyes were evident as James was really trying to get under Devon’s skin. “Excuse me” Devon said after hearing what James said. He turned to Clara as she also looked at James in confusion. They hadn't discussed this. When had he decided this?"We're back together now," James continued, turning to face Devon fully. "I know she's your surrogate, but that's all she is to you. She's not your woman. There's no sensible reason why she should be staying with you at your place."The room fell silent. Sarah felt her hands ball into fists. Elliot shifted uncomfortably. Clara stared at James in shock.Devon's expression darkened. He took a step closer to James, his voice low and dangerous when he spoke."I don't care if you think you're back together. I don't care if you want to get married tomorrow. But as long as she's carrying my children, she stays with me. That's final."Clara felt her heart break a little more. Even when D

Hours later, Devon was back at Sarah's house. He'd spent the afternoon supervising the complete transformation of James's apartment, making sure every detail was perfect. If Clara was going to live there, it would at least be a place worthy of her.Sarah's house was a modest but cozy place in a quiet neighborhood. He waited downstairs in the car as he watched the ladies coming out of the house. He came out of the car to help put what they were holding in the boot as he turned to Clara and asked, "Ready?" he asked, his voice carefully neutral.Clara nodded, not meeting his eyes.The drive to James's place was torture. Sarah hurriedly went to the back seat so Clara could seat in the front with Devon. Having Clara so close to him, smelling her perfume, seeing her out of the corner of his eye, was almost unbearable. Sarah was in the back seat, scrolling through her phone in her own world as she raised her head at intervals looking at them from the back, waiting and hoping

The afternoon sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment, casting long shadows across the marble floors. Clara sat on the balcony, her legs tucked under her as she turned the pages of her novel. The gentle breeze played with her hair, and for a moment, she looked completely at peace. She'd just returned from her shopping trip downtown. The sound of someone clearing their throat made her look up from her book.Devon stood there, leaning against the doorframe, his suit jacket slung over his arm. His white shirt was slightly wrinkled, his tie loosened - he looked like he'd had a long day at the office."Devon!" Clara gasped, startled. She tried to stand up quickly, but her center of gravity had shifted with her growing belly. She stumbled, her book falling to the ground.In two quick strides, Devon was beside her, his strong arms catching her before she could fall. For a moment, they were frozen like that - her hands pressed against his chest, his arms wrapped aro

Across town at the Montgomery estate, a very different scene was unfolding.The Montgomery family was gathered in their elegant dining room. The table was set with their finest china, candles flickered in silver holders, and everyone was dressed like they were celebrating something special.Mrs. Montgomery had just finished a long phone call with Rita Cage, and her face was glowing with excitement as she returned to the table."Well?" Mr. Montgomery asked impatiently. "What did she say?""It's official," Mrs. Montgomery announced, barely able to contain her joy. "The engagement between Eva and Damien Cage has been approved by the family matriarch. We're invited to dinner next weekend to make it formal."The room erupted in cheers. Mr. Montgomery stood up and raised his wine glass."To Eva," he said proudly. "Our beautiful daughter who's about to become part of the most powerful family in the country."Eva smiled gracefully, twisting a

A few minutes later after James left the house to go get a new gown for Clara, Sarah showed up at the door with a big smile on her face."Girl, I came to spend some time with you before you get all glamorous tonight!" Sarah said, walking in. Then she stopped and looked around. "Wow. This is fancy."Clara hugged her friend. "It's been a crazy morning.""Where's James? He didn't even say hi when I saw him rushing out."Clara sighed and sat down with Sarah. She explained everything that had happened - Devon sending all the clothes and beauty services, James getting angry and going to buy her a different dress.By the time she finished the story, Sarah was practically yelling."How dare he!" Sarah said loudly."Sarah, keep your voice down," Clara said, looking at the beauty team who were trying to pretend they weren't listening."No, I will not keep my voice down. This is ridiculous, Clara. It's Devon's grandmother's event. You don
