Seventy four: Gone.
Last Updated:
2020-08-13 21:20:45Wandering in front of the intensive care unit, Shanice and I couldn't help but keep on being so anxious. Personally, I still felt so guilty. All I hoped was for the surgical operation to work out fine.
"All this probably wouldn't have happened if we let her stay with us," Shanice mumbled as she leaned her back against the wall, running her palm through her hair, and weeping so much.
I hurried to her, and grasped her hands. "Let's be positive," I said to her. "She'll be fine. At least, the doctor and nurses are working on her. It's not like there's no hope."
"But she seemed so weak!" She retorted, tearing up more. "She couldn't even say anything!"
"Calm damn," my voice was so shaky, literally holding much fear. "Let's just be positive. We've got no other choice."
She sobbed, and rubbed her palm against her eyes. About to move close to her to keep her in my embrace, the

Silence everywhere, all mourning. No one spoke except the priest who was saying some things I wasn't sure I understood, probably because my ears turned deaf. Whimpers could be heard, and nothing but sorrow was moving around the graveyard.I stared at how my friend's casket was being dug into the ground. It still felt so unreal. Believing the reality was something my heart just couldn't take. Not just yet.Beth? Dead?Unable to get my eyes off it, I zoomed into thinking about the times we used to be together. If I knew she would end up dying at such a young age, I wouldn't have complained about her in any way. I would have tolerated every of her behavior, with a smile plastering around my face. I would have been more close to her. I would have listened to her when she begged me to. It was all my fault."Right now," I heard the priest say. "An older sibling of the young lady will come forth

Jace——I blinked slowly, shut my eyes, then fixed my gaze at Jill. Although I was still so annoyed, I sincerely didn't feel like letting her leave yet. To be frank, I knew she was around all along, but I decided to ignore her presence. Sometimes, I'd check my home security camera to confirm if she was still around. And whenever I saw her, I'd be happy that I wasn't alone."What do you mean?" She asked, sounding really tried and confused.I sighed, and tried to sneer. "When you came here as my surrogate…" I started to speak. "The rule was that you'd live with me for eight months.""So what does that mean?" She creased her face to express her disgust."That means you'll have to stay here till the interval is over. You still have a few weeks more," I explained.She snorted. "Wha

Shanice————"Gosh babe, I've never been happier. I mean, I can't believe I was deflowered by him. I'm so shy right now," Jill stated over the phone, sounding so excited."Good for you." I sighed, and dropped on a couch in my living room. "Like, I'm so glad that you aren't stagnant anymore. I feel good now.""Thanks babe!" She squealed, and gasped for some reason. "And jeez, he is so hot. I had to beg him to stop dwelling into me. He made my first time so memorable."I chuckled at what she said. "You're so funny, lady. But I can't blame you. You're new to this.""Whatever," she groaned playfully, and sighed. "I guess this is the new life I was speaking of.""Yes. And...Ash!" My words got stuck in my throat, a strange pain in my abdomen attacked me again. What was the meaning of this?"Shanice?" Jill called,

A tear dropped from my eyes. Fear instantly overwhelmed me. Was it possible that the doctor was playing a prank on me?"Ma'am?" I called in a low voice, still widening my eyes at her. "Are you— did you— just say I'm pregnant? I mean, it's not possible.""Huh?" She scrunched her face like I was speaking like an idiot. "What do you mean by that? The scan can't lie. In fact…" she stretched an envelope to me. "This is the scan picture. You can check it yourself.""What?" My lips squeezed as I was about to tear up, tears already overshadowing my eyes. "This shouldn't be. I can't be pregnant! I'm not supposed to be!""But you are. Pregnancy is a good thing actually. It brings—" the doctor spoke, obviously trying to console me. But, I interrupted her immediately."No!" I squealed, and yanked my hair, dropping my forehead on the table, and breaking out in d

Staring at him, my pain worsened; both my emotional and physical pain. For a second time, I saw worry around his face. He looked worried and sorry. Why was that?Unable to stare at my agony any longer, I turned from looking at him, and stared at nothing specific. "What are you doing here?" I asked a straight question, trying as much as possible to hold my tears."We need to talk," he replied, not taking a chance to hesitate on whether to speak or not.I scoffed, and turned to him. "About what?""Shanice." He sighed hard, shut his eyes, and returned to staring at me like the idiot he was. "Jill told me about our child. Please, for its sake, can you try to hear me out?""Wow." I fixed my arms on my chest, and smiled although I didn't feel like it. "So you can call it our child? Seriously? The guy who abandoned his lover has now come back?"

Xander sat behind me on the bed, saying something that wasn't my problem, so I didn't listen to him.The thought of how my efforts failed, made me so enraged and frustrated. Why could I not be successful in doing one thing? Just one? First, I failed in maintaining my ugly marriage, and second, I failed in ruining Jace and Jill's relationship. What was all this?"Trisha!" Xander startled me as he called out my name.I sighed, and turned to him. "What's wrong with you, dude?" I complained, frowning so much at him."You're crazy." He shot me a harder glare, and hopped from the bed, sauntering to reach me. "What's the me

"What now?" He frowned. "You feel sorry for insulting me? You're trying to seduce me or what?"I pouted, and dropped a small kiss on his jawline. "Please baby. Forgive me. You know how stupid I could be when I get angry.""Very stupid," he remarked.I stared directly into his eyes. "So you forgive me?""I however can't be annoyed at you for too long." He stopped frowning, and sighed. "But honestly, if you think you'll control me, I'll prove to you that I can do something worse. I can expose you dear. I just can't take shit from anyone."I grinned at what he said, particularly grinning because I knew there was no next time for him. "Fine baby. I promise to not insult you as long as you're alive.""Good girl." He tweaked my cheek, and pulled away.Walking to the bed, he grabbed the papers he was working on, and continued t

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.

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

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

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
