All Chapters of Billionaire’s Surrogate (ENGLISH): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Elijah Theodore MartinezIt was already past midnight, yet sleep still refused to come to me. I don’t know why, but despite how exhausting my day had been, I simply couldn’t fall asleep. Instead of forcing myself to rest, I decided to head to the bar counter in my house. My house isn’t that big, but I made sure it had everything I needed—especially the bar area, where I kept different kinds of liquor. Some of them were even imported from Spain and France, with only limited bottles available, making them ridiculously expensive. But who cared about the price? As long as it tasted good and satisfied me, that was enough.I opened my bottle of Billionaire Vodka and poured some into my glass. I slowly swirled it around while waiting for it to chill completely. As I waited, I couldn’t understand why I had suddenly opened the CCTV footage of my condo on my phone, where Eliana was staying. Maybe I just wanted to make sure she was okay. I wanted her to carry my baby as soon as possible so I cou

Eliana Grace HerreraI glanced at the cheap watch on my wrist. It was only six in the morning, so instead of continuing what I was doing, I quickly headed to the kitchen to see what I could cook. Theo hadn’t mentioned what time Miko would pick me up, so I immediately messaged the latter to ask him. Good thing we were friends on Facebook, so it was easy to contact him.When he told me he would pick me up at eight, I quickly started preparing what I planned to cook. I didn’t even know what kind of work Theo was going to give me or how long I would be staying there. I also wasn’t sure if there would be anywhere nearby to buy food, so I decided to just cook my own meals instead. It was cheaper that way, too.I decided to cook sinigang. While waiting for the meat to finish cooking, I lowered the heat so I could take a quick shower. I also cooked extra rice and food because I planned to pack meals for Miko and Theo in case I saw them at the office. And if Theo wasn’t there, I could always e

Elijah Theodore MartinezWhen Eliana messaged me to say the food she cooked was ready, I immediately ordered her to go to her room and turn off all the lights. It wasn’t that I didn’t want her to see me, but I wanted to preserve what we had at this moment. I knew what kind of woman she was, and I had no plans of betraying all the beliefs I had about women just because of her. Yes, I probably felt something toward her that I couldn’t explain, but I was certain the attachment existed only because she was carrying my child.I moved quickly and headed toward the condo unit where she was staying. It didn’t take me long since I was only in the neighboring unit. When Eliana moved into my condo yesterday, I decided to purchase the unit next door early this morning. And when I say early, I literally mean early—around one in the morning, right after we ended our call. Rashid was even annoyed with me earlier because he had just gotten home from the bar when I called him just so I could buy the u

Elijah Theodore Martinez“What’s your problem, Shid? Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked my friend curiously after catching him staring at me several times during our meeting with the company’s new investors. Since he was the lawyer of Martinez Corp., it was only natural for him to be there. We were already walking toward my office, so we were finally free to talk about our personal lives.He shook his head while following behind me, and once we entered my office, he finally spoke.“It’s nothing. It just feels like there’s something different about you that I can’t explain,” he said in confusion before eyeing me up and down like a madman.For some unknown reason, instead of getting angry, I only smiled as I sat down on my swivel chair, spinning it once before looking back at my friend.“You and Miko really suit each other. He’s been acting exactly like that since yesterday. Maybe the two of you should be the bosses instead of me,” I joked.Right on cue, Miko entered the offi

Elijah Theodore MartinezI practically drove my car like a madman just to reach the building where our condo was located as quickly as possible. But instead of heading straight to my own unit, I immediately called Eliana to tell her I was coming over to her place. She already knew what to do whenever I visited, so there was no need for me to remind her to put on the blindfold.The moment I entered her room, I was greeted by the sight of Eliana lying on the bed. She seemed to be asleep, so I quietly approached her.“Theo?” the woman asked softly the moment she sensed my presence.I gently sat beside her and softly stroked her long hair. “Yes, it’s me,” I confirmed. “Are you okay?” I asked worriedly, even though the answer was already obvious from the way she looked.She forced herself to nod before adjusting her position on the bed. “Yeah. Maybe I’m just a little tired. And my stomach’s been hurting since earlier. Maybe it’s because of the guava Vina gave me. I suddenly craved it, so I
