Stepping out of the kitchen in Shanice's house, holding a tray of the cookies I had baked, I joined her and Beth in the living room.
"It's been a while since I've seen you Beth." I said to Beth in mouthful of cookies, and dropped the tray on the centre table.
Beth dropped her phone on her seat and grabbed some cookies from the tray. "Yep girl." She said, and began to crunch a cookie.
"Well I see her almost everyday." Shanice added from her seat, staring at her phone like her life depended on it.
"Duh duh." Beth hummed and continued to read through her magazine. She was a big fan of magazines, and goodness knew why.
I sighed and moved closer to Shanice on the couch she was sitting on, and tapped her shoulder to get her attention to me.
"What?!" She whined and hit her hands against mine, so I co

JACEWith a great deal of fear and anger, I tightened my fist more, being so short of words. I probably didn't hear her properly. What was going on? Something was definitely wrong somewhere. My Trisha couldn't do such.Panting terribly and frowning so much, I jerked her arm and tugged her close to me. "What is going on?!" I asked, my breath slowly whipping off."J-Jace?" Her voice was shaky, holding a great thrust of fear. "What's it? What's wrong?" She asked dumbly.I glared harder, my nose, eyes and lips wrinkling so much from how vexatious I was. "Are you crazy? Don't pretend now. I heard you! I heard you speak to some idiot now!""What are you saying?" She creased her brows like she was confused.I tightened my tug against her arm, and that made her groan. "Stop this game of yours. What's all this?!" I yelled.

Trisha--------Walking in the hallway of the hotel Xander and I frequently stayed, I smiled broadly at myself, feeling so proud of how well my game went.I used my card to open the door of our hotel room, and stepped in. The first thing I did was to scan my eyes through the place in search of Xander, but surprisingly, I found him nowhere close. That was quite weird, because I only called him a few minutes ago. How could he possibly be missing now?About to dial his number to send him a call, I stopped when I felt his arms curving around my neck. I shut my eyes and smiled, deeply inhaling the sweet fragrance from his body."Why did you take so long?" His husky tone held flirtatiousness as he pressed a kiss against my ear, and moved his lips down to my neck to dunk kisses into it."Oh baby." I raised his arms from my

She kept her stare at me, and furrowed her eyebrows into a small frown. All I did was to look at her with quivering eyes. Her questions definitely cut my throat. What was I going to do? How did she even get here in the first place?"I asked you a question Trisha." She reminded me that I needed to speak. But what could I say?"Well ma, this person is…" I said in a stutter, but stopped when Xander walked closer to her."Is this your mom, Trisha?" He asked as he grinned at her.I chuckled nervously. "Yes she is. She's my mom. I mean, my mother-in-law.""Oh nice." He said, and stretched his hand for a handshake. Good for me, he was smart enough to grasp that he had to put on an act. "Nice meeting you ma'am. My name is Xander. I'm Trisha's colleague at her office.""Colleague?" She raised an eyebrow at him, obviously still doubting me. "But how can a

I let Jill leave my grip, and exhaled hard before turning to face Trisha. All Trisha did was to remain frozen in her position and say nothing to us.Turning back to Jill, I noticed how she suddenly looked so pale and nervous, and that irritated me so much. What the heck? Did we do anything bad by holding each other?"What was that?" Trisha finally spoke from where she was standing. "Why were you holding each other? Why were you both so close? What was the meaning of that nonesense?""What nonesense?" I retorted, shooting her a dead scowl and folding my arms across my chest, showing a lot of uninterest to whatever she had to say.She huffed, and lurched unsteadily to us. "You know I saw you both right? I saw you being close." She said.I snorted. "And so? What's wrong with that? What if I'm close to her? Do you care?Letting out another huff,

Trisha"And the investments…" I heard Xander say that, and then, I trailed off into my immense thoughts.If there was a word greater than "shocked" that could explain how I felt when Jace yelled back at me days back, then that word was definitely going to be an overly great one.I was just so amused to see him finally supporting that girl with so much ardency. I had truly never seen him that angry, or that uninterested in me. And the worst thing was that he didn't even seem to be moved by my menace and shouts. He ignored it all.But the thing that made me confused was the fact that I actually felt weird and angry about the whole thing. Sincerely, I didn't like the way I saw that idiot so close to my husband. I didn't love him, but I almost felt jealous. I was truly angry that day, I wasn't playing around. But how in the world was it even possible that I cared

JACE"Ouch! That hurts." Jill cried, and that made me chuckle silently at her. Funny enough, she heard me. She flared her nose and hissed at me."I'll break those teeth of yours." She threatened, and I winked playfully at her."Ouch ouch ouch!" She groaned further."Sorry ma'am. It'll only take a while." The doctor said to her as he did something I didn't understand, to her skin.In a short while, he was done with what he was doing, leaving Jill to grumble at herself."Mr. Flores." He called after packing his medical equipment into his medical box. "Today makes the pregnancy three months and a half."As he said that, my heart skipped a beat. Why was he telling me that? Did he want to break bad news?"And from the test I took yesterday," He continued to speak, not we

Alright. It seemed like I had had enough of seeing her being so hesitant. It wasn't even like she was speaking to someone else. She was literally speaking to me."What's the problem Jill? I don't think I appreciate the fact that you're pausing at every interval. Can you please speak in words?" I protested, being as cool as possible.She exhaled hard again. "I seriously don't want you to feel hurt, but I'll just have to be truthful." She said, still looking hesitant."Ok. Go on." I became more fearful."The thing is," She started to speak. "I don't want to be the one to comfort you anymore. I'm sick of it. Like, I'm tired of being uncomfortable. It's... it's not too good."I kept my stare, unable to say anything to her. What was she saying? She was probably joking around with me.Uncontrollably, I chuckled. "Gosh Jill, you're so good at actin

JILL"I'm obviously so stupid. I'm really dumb Shanice." I cried as I had my head on her lap.She chuckled. "I told you before, didn't I? I told you to stop pretending like you don't know your feelings. I knew your pretence would cause a problem.""I don't have any feelings for the guy. I don't. Stop making me feel worse." I lamented, almost crying already.She raised her hand to soothe my hair, and she chuckled again. "I understand you babe. I get the fact that my bestie's never going to admit how she feels.""Stop!" I whined, which made my voice echo in my large room. "Stop Shanice. Please. Let's just talk about what I'll do right now. I'm so upset. Jace and I haven't spoken to each other for two days, but it seems like forever.""That's it." She snapped her fingers in the air. "That's what I'm talking about, girl. When you like

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?
