CHAPTER.49 Look like Mr Forbes wife..
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?" VictoRelated chapters

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
A surrogate for my ex's uncle CHAPTER 53.Eavesdropping.
With that, everyone left the sitting room, leaving just Madam Victoria and her grandson. As Ivy walked out, she scrutinized Damian. Rather than everyone concluding that he cleared the room because it was a private matter, he didn't really want everyone to know about his family's empire.But for Ivy, she could easily see his insecurities crawling all over his skin. She could tell that was the most important reason he cleared the room. He didn't want everyone to hear Madam Victoria spell out his flaws to their faces, especially Ivy's.Walking through the hallway, she slowed down her steps, hoping to hear any arguments or sentences, but she didn't hear anything. Meanwhile, Leon was in front of her, slowing down his own steps just to catch up with her.He turned around, realizing she was trying to eavesdrop, and remarked, “Don’t be dumb, Ivy; it’s soundproof. You won’t hear anything.”She defended herself. “What? What makes you think I’m trying to eavesdrop, huh?”He smiled. “I know you t

"I don't know how much more of this I can take," Damian was saying. "Everything is suffocating me, Mother. I need some space. Space from all of it."Madam Victoria laughed. "Space? You want space? You're the heir to the Forbes empire, Damian. You don't get space. You get responsibility. You've got a job! A real job to oversee."Ivy's eyes widened as she listened. She had no idea that Damian felt this way. She had always seen him as someone who was enthusiastic about his responsibilities."But Mother, I can't do this anymore," Damian continued. "I can't keep living like this. I need some freedom. Freedom from everything. I need more time."Madam Victoria's voice turned cold. "Freedom? You want freedom? You'll get freedom when I say you can have freedom. Until then, you'll do what I say!"She fixed her gaze on Damian and sighed. Then she stood up from her seat and turned away, trying to hold back her tears. This was her last sympathy card, and she had to play it well for Damian to belie
A surrogate for my ex's uncle CHAPTER 55.Paranoia Episode
However, when Damian reached his room, he began to pace around his large living room with Lucas, who stood inches away from the door. Knowing how manipulative Madam Victoria can be, he realized she must have rubbed salt in his wounds and told him how much less of a man he was to her.“Sir, I think you should calm down. It's late; you need to go to sleep,” Lucas urged, hoping Damian would listen to him this one time.Damian's face was red with rage, his eyes bulging as he paced back and forth in front of Lucas. "She said I'll never have a baby! She said I'm not a real man! She's always doing this, always making me feel like I'm not good enough!" He clenched his fists and spun around, his eyes blazing with anger.“I pleaded with her! I told her the doctor said this is going to work! He said it will work and he is seeing changes, but she is not willing to let me speak!”Lucas took a step forward, his hands outstretched in a calming gesture. "Sir, please, you need to calm down. It's late,

“Let me go!” Damian screamed. “Let me go now. Did she tell you to lock me up also?”“Damian, please understand, I'm just trying to help you,” Lucas said, his voice calm and soothing. “I can't let you go out there. Not now! Not today! Your grandmother and nephew are both here!”“Help me? You call this help? You're imprisoning me!” Damian spat, his eyes blazing with anger. “Let me go!”“I’m sorry, Damian. I didn't mean it that way. I just want to keep you safe,” Lucas explained, trying to reason with him, even though he knew at this point that Damian would never understand what he was trying to say.“Safe? From what? From Madam Victoria? You're just her puppet, aren't you?” Damian accused, his voice rising to a yell.Lucas sighed, his expression pained. “Damian, that's not fair. I'm trying to help you, not harm you.”“Fair? You want to talk about fair? You've been spying on me, reporting back to her, haven't you?” Damian's eyes narrowed.“Damian, no, that's not true. I swear it,” Lucas
A surrogate for my ex's uncle CHAPTER.57. Ivy to the rescue.
Ivy quickly followed Mrs. Joy, and the next minute, they had smuggled her inside Damian's room. When she entered, she saw him lying on the floor, still arguing with Lucas. But once he saw her, he quickly fixed his gaze on her and didn’t say another word.With an authoritative tone, she said, “Y’all can go to your rooms now. I'll take it from here until tomorrow morning.”Lucas and Mrs. Joy exchanged confused glances. Lucas didn’t like the idea of leaving Ivy alone with Damian; sometimes he could become very violent. He declined, “No, Ivy, we can’t leave you inside alone. We will stay right here with you until you’re done!”Ivy breathed in, trying not to flare up. She was both sleepy and tired at the same time. She scrutinized Damian for a moment and could see the yearning in his eyes. The words she had overheard began to replay in her mind. She still couldn’t believe that Madam Victoria had tried to kill her son’s self-confidence—and sadly, it didn’t seem like a new thing. It was regu
