I froze like a Christmas tree and gawked as Jace rested his head on my shoulder. What was going on? Was this man crazy?
"Thank you." He broke the weird silence between us. "Thank you so much."
As he held my waist, and as there was barely an inch between us, my heart raced like I was about to be murdered. How could he seriously be hugging me? And also, why was he thanking me?
"M-mr. Flores?" I gripped in fear. "Is there something wrong? W-why are you so close to me?"
He flinched as he held me, and gasped like he realized something, opening his eyes widely like a drunk man who suddenly became sober.
"Miss Grayson." He called in almost a whisper. "I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry."
That was it. This man was a confused person, and was causing a confusion for me as well.
I lifted a brow at him,

Billionaire's Surrogate Twelve: Worked out
ShaniceWalking into Aiden's street in the late evening, I heaved out a sigh of tiredness.Life was a definition of "stress" to me. I had hardly had time for myself or even my family. All I did was to work from morning till night, or go on one errand or another. I hadn't even seen Aiden in a few days. I only hoped he wasn't going to be annoyed as usual. And most especially, I hoped he was at his place and not his dad's. He didn't give me any information on his location.In a really short while, I got to his apartment and halted at his door before knocking on it. I inhaled and checked myself really well. I didn't want my boyfriend to think he had a low class and dumb girlfriend when it came to dressing up.After a thorough check on myself, I pressed the doorbell and patiently waited for him to respond, tugging my bag against my arm in a little nervousness.

Jace"Hey Brittany, get all those files and take the rest of the day off." I announced to my secretary as I smiled hard, and stood up to get some books on my shelf.She remained in her posture, and acted like she was shocked by my statement. "S-sir. Are you sure of what you're saying?" Her tone was shaky.I twirled my neck to face her as she stood by my office door, and corked an eyebrow at her. "You heard me right? What else?"She gauged an anxious laughter. "Of course sir. I heard you. I mean, this is only two o'clock, and you want me to take the day off. You still have a lot of things to do."I chuckled at my young secretary and tucked my hands in my suit trouser pocket, walking to stand in front of her. I smiled at her unsteadiness as she stood, and lifted one of my hands to pat her shoulder."What's the problem? C

Jill's POV"Enjoy this ok?" I dropped a mini sized burger in front of Liam's small table and smiled as he licked his lips."This looks yummy mommy." He grinned like he just got a huge reward for doing something great. "Thank you."I bent to peck his cheek, "you're welcome," and made my way back to the kitchen to finish my cleanup.As I stepped into the kitchen, I felt a tingling pain by my lower abdomen. It felt like a menstrual pain, but a more critical one. And, I was so sure it couldn't be a monstral pain because I was pregnant.From my observation and thoughts, I could tell that it was as a result of the tiny thing I was carrying in my uterus. Sincerely, it was a complete inconvenience. Even though it was only a few weeks since I started to carry their child, it felt like a year already. How was I going to continue living like that till the

Staring confoundedly at him, the next thing I could think of was to burst into laughter. I seriously hadn't heard of such before. I was literally not the first surrogate on Earth. Why was I being treated like a child then?"Oh Mr Jace. Or whatever you call your name." I stopped laughing, and stretched my hand to poke his chest, causing him to flinch a little. "You're one crazy human. Swears.""Pardon?" He frowned a little.On seeing his eyebrows curving into that disgusting scowl of his, I got infuriated even more. How dare he get annoyed at me? Was he crazy?"Hey." My tone was almost in a shout, but I tried as much as possible to speak silently because of my sick mom. "Are you getting annoyed at me? Who are you? Do I even know your shit self? You want me to stay with you? What do you think will happen? You wanna try to…" I interrogated immensely, sounding so irritated. But before I coul

"So how long will you be gone?" My mom asked as she sipped slowly from her hot tea, sounding so weak.I swallowed hard, trembling like a lost child. "I'm not sure yet. All I know is that it'll take some months.""Is the training that long?" She dropped her tea on the side table, and fixed her gaze on me."Yes mom."She sighed. "But what will Liam do there? He wouldn't let you concentrate on your goal. Right?""That's not a problem at all." I hurried to sit on the space beside her on the bed. "I'll be completely fine with him around. There's no need for you to worry about that. And once he turns five, he'll start school.""I really wish he could stay here with me." She sounded sad, her face suddenly turning so pale. "I'm going to miss you guys so much.""Awww." I moved forward to embrace her gently. "We'll miss you too. And I p

Shanice"Here you go babe." I handed a tray of cookies to Beth, and sauntered to get a fashion magazine from my kitchen's counter.She dropped her phone on the side table, and smiled at me. "Thanks girl.""You're welcome."After grabbing the magazine she requested, I walked to sit in the space beside her on the sofa in my small living room. "Here it is." I dropped the magazine on her lap."Hmmm," She stuffed her mouth with some of my homemade chocolate cookies. "This magazine is superb. I like the cover already. Where did you get it from?""Err," I grimaced at her, trying to recall where I had bought the magazine. "Not sure." I informed her.She rolled her eyes like she always did, and dropped the magazine on the table. "Why do you always forget things Shanice? Is your brain in your skull or in your butt?" She

Jill"But what is his reason for that?" I asked Shanice the same question, and she grumbled over the phone."I said I don't know!" She whined like she was about to get angry. "I only spoke to him about Beth and he took it so seriously. I'm so devastated right now."I sighed, "Alright girl, I'll come to see you this evening. I need to know more details on this. It's so weird for him to get annoyed for something that's not even his business.""I know right?" She retorted. "I wonder why he keeps on doing this. Was I wrong by only explaining my annoyance to him? Why does Aiden keep on treating me like shit? It isn't fair you know? I'm sick of it already.""Come down babe." I tried to keep her calm because I was so sure she'd be about to cry already. Although she was a crazy type of person, she was damn emotional. "Everything will be ok. I'm sure he was on

I bit hard against my lower lip as my head seemed like it was going to explode, due to my irk state. My cold and shaky fingers rolled into a keen fist and begged me to hit it against someone's face. The silent air that left my nose suddenly developed into heavy pants. Tugging my tightened fingers close to the pocket of my jacket, I snorted."Jace!" A cry unknowingly spilled from my mouth as I turned to my husband. "What is this inane thing doing here? How can she be here?!" My throat bit that out at the top of my voice.He sighed and looked scared as I had expected. "I know you might not like this, but I need you to cooperate with me in this. She's…""Enough!" I cut him in, raising my index finger to point it at his face. "What level are you taking this to? Did you bring her here to comfort you in the month that I've been gone? What are you trying to do, you git?!" My words made him look scared, and wo

It wouldn't have been a success if you guys didn't support me. To be honest, I was kind of nervous to start this book, wondering if it would be a nice story.

Billionaire's Surrogate Epilogue
Three years later…Jill——"Common!" Jace cried from our bed, groaning at himself.I turned to look at him, and shot him a playful glare. "Are you serious? Just get you damn ass off here."He rolled his eyes, and jumped from the bed. And as he sauntered to me, my eyes glued to his sharp, rock abs, that lined so much as his shirt glued to his body. Moving my eyes down to his lap, I noticed that his cock was crying for help, standing so firm under his sweatpants. I hissed at him, and returned to staring at the mirror."You had better go to the bathroom," I teased, slipping my robe off. "Today's Shanice wedding, so I need to leave early. There's no time for that.""Just for a few minutes. It'll be a quickie," he continued to convince me.I grumbled. And before I
Billionaire's Surrogate Eighty eight: United forever.
Wandering in front of the door of the hospital room Jill was, I worried so much, being really unstable. I couldn't think of anything to do, or didn't know how to react. What if Trisha sent someone to poison Jill just like she had poisoned her boyfriend?My mom walked to me, looking equally worried. "My boy," she called, and took my hands in hers. "Let's be hopeful. Nothing will go wrong with her. She'll be fine."I nodded my head even though I was still doubtful. I couldn't have any hope at the moment because I was the only one around who knew how bad Trisha was."Ok." I inhaled deeply. "I'll try to be hopeful. At least, it's not like I've got any other choice.""Good then." She smiled weakly, and walked back to Jill's mom who was crying already. Why was she crying? It wasn't even like Jill was dead.Seeing how fearful everyone was, I became more angry, then stomped to the
Billionaire's Surrogate Eighty seven: Wedding
It was exactly eight minutes to twelve o'clock. I hurried out of my car, and rushed out of the parking lot in the church, not even waiting for my bouncers to reach me first.On getting to the front door of the church, I sighted Jill and her mother, and that made me so relieved. To be sincere, I had been thinking about Trisha's threat all along. What if she was actually going to do something again? But well, now that I had seen that Jill was fine, there was no need to worry."Dude you're late!" Ace complained, walking fast to me. "Jill's been so worried. What happened? The final trial wasn't supposed to take that long."I shut my eyes, then exhaled loud. And opening it, it met Jill's. Shit, I didn't want her to see me."Jace!" She cried, holding her long gown, and stomping to me. I was almost lost in noticing how beautiful she was, but I decided to not pay attention to that. I was too late
Billionaire's Surrogate Eighty six: Final Judgement
Three months later…"Mr. Flores!" Brittany barged into my office, holding a bunch of files in her hands, and rushing to my table. "The final judgement on the Miss Maxwell case is only in thirty minutes! You've got to get to the court soon!""What?! Thirty minutes?!" I hopped from my seat, and slammed my palm against my office desk. "How come you didn't tell me? Jeez, you've not been doing your job so well.""Me?" She bulged her eyes out at me, sounding quite informal. "I've come here to remind you, for the fourth time now. I even got to work by six, in order to ensure you don't miss it.""Oh shit!" I hit my fist against the table. "How'll I get there in the next thirty minutes?"She creased her face, seeming quite infuriated. "Hum, I think you'll get there sooner, if you stop speaking.""Are you shunning me?" I raised an eyebrow at me.
Billionaire's Surrogate Eighty five: Game. Over.
I shoved the thick white towel I had used to dry my hair, on my neck, and ran my fingers through my wet hair. Wrapping another towel around my naked waist, I stepped out of the bathroom.As soon I stepped into the room of the hotel I was, the first thing my eyes caught was Jill. She was sitting on the bed, tugging her knees to her chest, and digging her head in between them.I breathed out via my mouth, and walked to her. She had been crying since I told her Trisha killed her friend. I tried to console her so much, but she didn't want to stop crying. I also made love to her a few minutes ago, expecting her to feel relief, but instead, she cried more. What could I do?"Jill." I sat on the space beside her on the bed.As soon as she heard my voice, she flinched, and rubbed her face, not looking at me in the eye. "You're done bathing?" She asked.I soothed th
Billionaire's Surrogate Eighty four: Get her.
Unable to get my eyes off the screen, I unknowingly pinched the skin of my hand. It still seemed like some kind of weird dream. I had watched it for the third time, but still, I was doubting what I was seeing."Sir," the monitor guy called, causing me to jerk from my seat to turn to him. "You— you've been watching it for a while now. Don't you think you should give the footage to the police, already?"I shot him a glare, which made him avert from looking into my eyes. "Is it your problem?" I questioned him, harshly, even though I knew he was right. Well, I couldn't be blamed for my cruelty. I was in a state of shock.To aggravate my shock, not only did I discover that Trisha killed the guy who was her boyfriend. I also discovered that she was the one who killed Jill's friend. I couldn't even think of how Jill would react if she found out about it.Trisha was indeed a terrible person. Like
Billionaire's Surrogate Eighty three: Investigation
I stared at the investigators as they scrutinized the room the culprit had died. It was almost eleven in the night, but I wanted to make sure to get what I needed to before day break. To be honest, I was so tired already, but I just couldn't risk my work, so I had to stay awake.I had bought this hotel a few weeks back, although it wasn't important to have it. I particularly bought it so Jill and I would spend the first day of our future honeymoon here. It was a decent and serene place for couples to relax in. The views from the balconies were so good, and I could tell that Jill would love it so much. I guessed I bought the place for her."Mr. Flores," someone called my name from behind.I exhaled faintly, and turned to the direction of the voice. As expected, it was one of the investigators. "Yes?" I replied.He walked closer to me, using a hanky to hold an empty glass cup. "Sir&he
Billionaire's Surrogate Eighty two: Phone call
Jace——Working on my laptop, I sat on my bed, and grabbed my phone to call my secretary. Shortly, I dialed her number, and waited for her to answer her phone as it rang."Hello sir. Good evening," she greeted, sounding quite grumpy. Ok, I could understand why she'd be grumpy. It was Sunday, and I was about to ask her to work?"I'm so sorry Brit," I apologized first, smiling at the tiredness in her voice. It was the first time I heard her sound so apathetic over the phone. Brittany was a really hard working person, and I so much liked her for it. Although I called her by her first name, I still gave her the full respect she deserved. I just wasn't used to being so formal with people I always stayed around with. It was one of the reasons I asked Jill to call me Jace, instead of Mr. Flores."There's no problem sir. What do you need?
