Semua Bab Rekindling Lost Love : Bab 1 - Bab 5

Lucia's heart raced at the thought of doing surrogacy.'I can't believe I am doing this.'She clenched her fist tight and exhaled to release the nervous air hanging in her throat.Fifty million euros to carry some rich man's baby. For a year.She would be able to marry Alex without debts hanging over their heads and they would never have to worry about any threats again. This was freedom.Lucia fixed her hair in the bathroom mirror. She was wearing the blue dress Maria had picked out, trying to look like someone worth fifty million euros.Then her phone buzzed.Alex: [Good luck with your interview today. Love you.]Her heart sank. She reluctantly tossed the phone away, unreplying. She’d told Alex that she had a job interview, she couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth. Some things are better buried.The doorbell rang."Lucia!" Maria's voice called from downstairs. "He's here!"Lucia took a breath.

She just couldn't wait to get this nonsense surrogacy over with and leave his freaking roof. She doesn't want to be caught in the middle of whatever he has with his spoilt brat of an ex. How could he even date someone like that? Eww...wait why was she even overthinking this?

Mr. Castillo's sister arrives at seven.""I'm not hungry.""You said that yesterday."Lucia looked at Rosa kind eyes and it made her think twice."Fine," Lucia said. "Something small."They entered the kitchen, it was warm and quiet.R
