Lucas Stone That evening, the tension between Lucas and Ava was visible, though neither of them spoke about it. They were back in the quiet luxury of their home, the kind of house that had all the definition of success….high ceilings, minimalist design, and a view of the city skyline that could make anyone feel like they were on top of the world. But for Lucas, it felt like he was standing on the edge of something dangerous.Ava sat curled up on the couch, her long legs bent beneath her, a tablet in her hands as she scrolled through the profiles of the potential surrogates. Her hair was pulled back in a casual ponytail, and for the first time in a while, she seemed truly focused, not on an event, not on her modeling career, but on something about their marriage.Lucas stood by the window, his back to her, staring out at the city lights, his thoughts elsewhere.He had tried to push the thought of Bella Shaw out of his mind all day, telling himself over and over again that it didn’t

Ava smiled at Bella, her gaze sharp and calculating, though she kept her voice soft and friendly. “Bella, it’s really wonderful to meet you. Doctor Amelia has told us some great things about you. Before we get into all the technical details, I’d love to get to know you a little better. Tell me a bit about yourself. Where are you from? What brought you to this decision?”Bella swallowed, her throat suddenly dry. She hadn’t expected the questions to be so personal right away, especially not from someone like Ava Stone, who seemed so polished, so perfect. She shifted in her seat, trying to find her voice.“Well… I’m from a small town Kadilla,” Bella began, her voice quiet. “My parents… they passed away when I was younger, so I’ve been on my own for a while now. I’ve been doing odd jobs, trying to get by, but things have been… difficult lately.”Ava nodded, her expression sympathetic, though there was a glint in her eyes that made Bella feel like she was being evaluated, assessed for some

The days after the embryo transfer felt like an eternity for Bella. Every minute was filled with a strange mix of anticipation and dread, her emotions pulling her in different directions. She tried to focus on the future-the money that would come from this surrogacy, the fresh start she could finally afford. But deep down, she can't help but be uncertain about everything What if the procedure didn’t work? What if the embryo wasn't fixed properly? What if she was still stuck in this cycle of barely surviving, trapped in a life where the world seemed to conspire against her?And then there was Lucas.Bella couldn’t get him out of her mind. No matter how hard she tried to push thoughts of him away, the image of his face, the memory of his intense gaze from that night at the bar, lingered….it haunts her still. Every time she thinks of the child that will be growing inside her, their child….her mind drifts to Lucas, not Ava. She tries to remind herself that this wasn’t her child, that

Bella shifted uncomfortably in her seat, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her shirt as she glanced around the office. Lucas sat beside her, his eyes burning fire on the side of her face.Across the table, Dr. Amelia Royce shuffled some papers, her expression calm and professional as always. She was waiting for the right moment to break the silence, but Bella could feel the weight of what was coming. The reality of what she had signed up for was beginning to sink in. She was pregnant with the child of a man she didn’t really know, for a woman who hadn’t even bothered to show up for this important appointment.A knot formed in Bella’s stomach, a mixture of nerves and uncertainty. She had done her research, being a surrogate was a way to make money, to secure her future. But now, sitting in this room with Lucas Stone, the Alpha CEO whose intense gaze she had caught at the bar that night, everything felt more complicated than she had anticipated.“So,” Dr. Amelia said, breaking th

She follows him to the parking lot, where a sleek, black luxury car is parked under the streetlights. It was one of those cars that looked like it belonged in a magazine, shiny, beautiful and sophisticated, the kind only someone with serious money can own.Feeling out of place as she approached the passenger side. She hesitated for a second, running her fingers over the smooth metal of the door before Lucas clicked the unlock button. Without a word she slips into the leather seat.The door shut with a soft click, and suddenly it was just the two of them. Alone, in this confined space.Lucas climbed into the driver’s seat and started the engine, the soft sound of the car filling the silence. For a moment, neither of them said anything. The tension was loud and suffocating. Bella shifted in her seat, trying to get comfortable, but the tension in her body wouldn’t let her relax.She glanced around the car, taking in the smooth leather seats, the shiny dashboard, the way everything se
