A surrogate for my ex's uncle CHAPTER.45. She is my wife.
“What do you mean it is a minor situation?” he questioned, fixing his eyes on her.Sophia felt a chill run down her spine at Damian's question. In truth, he was her boss and the true owner of the boutique, but he preferred to keep it a secret from his family.Seeing him walk into the boutique in the middle of such a situation wasn’t something she had expected, so she decided to lie.“Oh, sir, I mean it’s a minor situation that shouldn’t need your attention,” she said, trying to steady her voice. “It’s just some women arguing over some shoes.”Damian looked around and found Ivy's grip tightening on the shoes while the security stepped back. That told him all he needed to know.He turned back to Sophia. “Why is security here if it’s just some women’s business?”Sophia shuddered; she didn’t know the right reply to give to her boss. Knowing him well enough to always uphold justice, she realized he was going to ask for the CCTV footage and judge the situation accordingly.“Sir?” she starte
A surrogate for my ex's uncle CHAPTER 46.Short lived happiness.
Weeks later………As Damian walked into the living room, Ivy looked up from her book and smiled, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "Hey, dear," she said, her voice husky."Hey, dear," he smiled as he walked up to her. He leaned in and stole a kiss from her. "How was your night?""What can I say? A billionaire tucked me in to sleep last night."Damian's face lit up with a radiant smile as he approached her. He leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a gentle caress. The kiss deepened, their lips moving in perfect sync.Ivy's hands instinctively went to Damian's tie, her fingers deftly knotting it as they continued to kiss. Their lips parted for a moment, and Damian's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze burning with desire."Your night was fantastic, huh?" Damian whispered, his voice low and husky. "I'm glad to hear that."Ivy's cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, it's not every night that a billionaire tucks me into bed," she teased, her voice playful.Damian chuckled,
A surrogate for my ex's uncle CHAPTER.47..Madam Victoria.
Ivy's eyes widened in shock, her jaw dropping open when she saw an aged woman standing in front of the door. At first glance, she could tell that the woman was elegant and wealthy; her outfit and jewelry made it obvious.The woman stood at the door, her brows furrowed, creating deep lines on her forehead. "Where is my grandson?" she asked again.Ivy stood there dumbfounded. Damian had never told her that his grandmother was coming over today; in fact, he hadn't even mentioned her or any of his family to her, except during his last paranoid episodes.Ivy's shock deepened as she took in the woman's imposing presence. The woman's elegant outfit and sparkling jewelry screamed wealth and sophistication."Where is my grandson?" the woman demanded, her brows furrowed in displeasure.Ivy's mind raced. Damian had never mentioned his grandmother, let alone her visiting. Did he know she was coming and decide not to inform her?"Go, go, go, good morning, ma'am," she stammered, trying to articulat

Ivy heaved a deep sigh of relief when she saw Lucas approaching them.Once Lucas walked in and set his eyes on Madam Victoria, his breath caught in his throat. His whole body tensed, muscles rigid with fear. He had grown up with her and knew what they were in for if she stayed any longer.He quickly forced a small smile as he walked up to her. “Good morning, ma'am,” Lucas managed to say in a strained voice. “You didn't say you were coming over for the weekend.”Madam Victoria's expression remained icy. "Lucas, darling," she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "I see you're still as charming as ever but still unable to get yourself a woman.”Lucas forced a smile, but his eyes betrayed his unease. "I... I wasn't aware you were coming over, Grandmother," he stammered.Madam Victoria's smile grew wider. "Surprise, dear," she said, her voice laced with malice. "I've decided to stay for a while. Go get me your boss.”Lucas's eyes darted to Ivy, seeking reassurance. "I... I see," he replie

Ivy seethed with anger and humiliation as the doctor finished his examination. She couldn't believe the nerve of Madam Victoria, who seemed to think she had the right to treat her like a breeding animal.The doctor, seemingly oblivious to the tension, smiled and said, "Well, congratulations, Ivy, you're in good health. You're fit to carry a child."Madam Victoria's eyes lit up with excitement. "Excellent!" she exclaimed. "Then it's settled. You'll be carrying my grandson's child. But did you check her backbone well? I mean her waist also?""Yes, ma'am, I checked all that needed to be checked. I can assure you that she will carry your child well until delivery," the doctor replied.Madam Victoria smiled. "Good job, Doctor. Thank you for coming. Now you can go. Next, we will be needing new dresses for her."Ivy turned to her. "That won't be necessary; I have lots of dresses in my wardrobe," she said."Oh, you do, sweetheart?" Victo

Few minutes earlier..Leon walked around the hallway, his eyes scanning all the rooms, and finally, he saw the particular one he had been looking for. From the pink decorations on the door, he could tell it was Ivy's room; that was her favorite color. A smile spread across his face as he slowly opened the door and walked inside.Once inside, he made sure to close the door slowly and silently so no one would know he was in her room. Taking a good look around, he gulped as his eyes widened in shock at her wardrobe and the various accessories he saw. For the first time, a pang of guilt washed over him; he had never treated Ivy this well.He walked over to the wardrobe and checked out the multitude of clothes inside. After he was done, he walked over to the mirror and took a look at himself.Leon’s eyes widened as he gazed around Ivy's room, taking in the explosion of pink decorations and feminine touches. He had never seen her space before, and he wa

“Do you really want my uncle to know you were my bitch?” he continued. “I mean, not just my bitch, but you’re still willing to go back on your knees to call me daddy again, huh?”“How does that sound if it comes out, and everyone in that room knows of our little secret?”Ivy stood inches away from him, seemingly dumbfounded at what he was saying, while he enjoyed seeing that confused and shocked look marring her features. Her jaw almost dropped open at his words.Once he was done talking, the room fell into a heavy silence, as if everyone was holding their breath in collective surprise. Ivy was trying to figure out a way out of it; firstly, she knew she couldn't tell Damian that his supposed cousin and hand-picked donor was her ex-boyfriend.She walked away from Leon, shaking her head as she muttered, “No, I can't tell him that. I can't tell him that!”Leon suddenly burst out laughing. “What are you thinking about? There’s nothing to think about, Ivy. You can’t tell Damian that I was

After a few minutes, Leon was gone. Ivy quickly changed her outfit into something nice. She walked over to the mirror and took a good look at herself. “This should be good enough for her, right?”Looking at her arms, she sighed. “This is quite revealing, right? Oh, Ivy, you need to wear something nice and casual so she wouldn’t complain.”Ivy stood in front of the mirror, scrutinizing her reflection. She had changed into a nice outfit but was now second-guessing herself. "This should be good enough for her, right?" she thought, tugging at the hem of her dress. But then she noticed how long the dress was. "Oh no, this is too much! She'll think I'm just too unfashionable."Ivy quickly rummaged through her closet, searching for something more casual. She pulled out a pair of jeans and a plain white shirt but then thought, "Wait, is this too casual? Will she think I'm not making an effort?"She sighed in frustration, feeling like she was in a fashion dilemma. "Why can't I just wear someth

IVYI followed the directions to the office they had arranged for me. It wasn’t large, but it was cosy—well-furnished and equipped with everything I might need during my stay to oversee operations. Despite their efforts, I wasn’t impressed. I doubted anything associated with Leon could ever win my approval.My lack of enthusiasm stemmed from the fact that this office was provided by Leon and Hailey. I scrutinised the room for a moment before scoffing, “They can put in their best effort, but it will never be enough for me.”Meanwhile, I sensed Leon and Hailey waiting outside, anxious for my reaction. Hailey nudged Leon, who seemed lost in thought, preoccupied with his ex-girlfriend. “What’s going on, Leon?” she asked in a low voice, her frustration evident.“Hey, keep your voice down,” Leon cautioned. “We need to maintain the act until she leaves.”Hailey scoffed. “What do you mean? I can’t work with that woman! You know I can’t stand her!”Leon took her hand, fixing his gaze on her.

IVY.The following day, as soon as it was 7 AM, I was already dressed and almost ready for my visit to F&K Financials. My eyes widened with anticipation as I looked at my reflection in the mirror; my pulse quickened. Nothing else mattered right now. I couldn’t stop smiling—my whole face radiated excitement.When Casper woke up, I could swear he rolled his eyes, clearly frustrated by how early I was up. Well, I wouldn’t blame him. He was born with a silver spoon and could never imagine what it meant to grow up in New York, struggling on the streets of Seattle without parents. Just when I thought things were looking up, I met a boyfriend who turned out to be a serial cheater and abusive jerk. I doubted he ever knew the feeling of fulfilling a long-held dream.“Didn’t you check your email yesterday? I sent you your schedule for the week,” he grumbled as he climbed out of bed.“Of course I did.” I didn’t bother to look his way.“Your first stop is F&K. You’re their major shareholder, over

IVYI smiled, savoring the way I was getting on his last nerves. “Just get me wine,” I said, watching Leon scramble away. He was desperate to catch Hailey before she did something reckless. Well I didn't care if he caught up with her,I just need him to get me my wine. When I heard the door swing open , I knew I was in for some entertainment. I took a sip of my drink, feeling confident. I could only imagine the chaos I was stirring between them.Soon, the door opened, and one of the staff members brought in a bottle of wine and glasses. “Good morning, ma’am,” she greeted politely. I accepted the drink, my eyes gleaming with satisfaction as I leaned back in my chair, feeling like the queen of the office. Well I was…I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of conversation Leon and Hailey were having. Manipulating their emotions was almost too easy, and it thrilled me to think of the discord I had sown but if only they knew this is just the beginning of whatever I was planning. When they

CHAPTER.CASPER It’s barely been twenty-four hours, and the whole coast has been cleared. Leon made sure to take down all those photos and sweep away the negative narrative hovering over my name. As I scroll through the internet, my lips curl into a proud smile at how cleverly he handled it.At least now I won’t be running around like a headless chicken, answering the constituents of Parliament about why I broke such vague family rules. And as for Xavier? I’ll be sure to give him a taste of his own medicine. Did he really think he could get away with that?But for now, I choose not to focus my energy on him. My parents’ death anniversary is just a few hours away, and the whole province will be mourning their past king and queen. This will be the first time I attend the anniversary for the world to see. In previous years, the royal family mourned privately, but that changed three years ago when my grandmother decided to open it to the public. Since then, I haven’t been able to attend.

CASPER. “Of course not!” I quickly defended myself with a sharp wave of my hand.How could she label me as impotent? That was cruel, especially for a man like me. Back in high school, I remember a girl from my hostel getting pregnant, but she ended up having an abortion before she even told me. I also go for regular check-ups, so I know I’m capable of fathering children with any woman I choose.Well, I don’t care if she still doesn’t believe me; maybe she can find one of her friends to bet on how good of a man I am.“You’re potent. Then why are you using a donor?” she asked, throwing the most bitter question my way—one that always made me turn away in insecurity.Maybe I should just admit that I’m paranoid sometimes. Or should I confess that I have my own issues? If I reveal my flaws and traumas, who knows if she might change her mind about wanting to have a baby with me? I’ve been with her for weeks, trying to understand her, but opening up like this would give my brothers leverage

I smiled, savoring the way I was getting on his last nerves. “Just get me wine,” I said, watching Leon scramble away. He was desperate to catch Hailey before she did something reckless like calling her parents.Leon had made a deal with her parents' company, and they only agreed because of their relationship. I could already picture him rushing to the rooftop, where Hailey usually went to smoke and clear her head.When I heard the door swing open, I knew I was in for some entertainment.

“I don't know; it's all over the news outlets in Monaco. You're the trending topic right now, and it's that bad,” Leon continued.Casper's eyes widened in horror as he rushed outside with Leon. From his reaction, I could tell it was serious, but my mind couldn't help but wonder who had leaked those photos to the press. Casper had boldly claimed that there was no access to phones in that part of the palace. It had always been a sanctuary, keeping the royal family away from media scrutiny. But clearly, that was no longer the case—someone was trying to sabotage him.If only he had let me speak first, he would have heard the bad news from me. I wasn’t trying to be the bearer of bad news, but I had intended to tell him before that jerk snatched the opportunity away.I let out a disappointed sigh. I knew I had been cold toward him these past few days, but I didn’t want him to endure the media's scrutiny in such a negative light. I picked up the file he had meant to show me before Leon inte
