Her Sister’s Surrogate Chapter Eight
Grace POVThe next morning, I arrived at the office earlier than usual, hoping to bury myself in work before my thoughts could catch up to me. Last night with Max had been… unexpected.Not just because he had been charming and made me feel like I was someone outside of being Helena’s surrogate, but because it was the first time in a long while I had felt seen. I wasn’t sure what that meant yet. But he had asked me to lunch today, and I was going. Normally, I would just have a sandwich at my desk. But not today. Today, I was going to enjoy the company of Max, and it was an enjoyment.What I did know was that today would be difficult. I could feel it, an unease settling in my stomach. Maybe it was just my nerves after the doctor’s appointment yesterday. Maybe it was the memory of overhearing my mother and Helena talking, confirming that I was nothing more than a tool to them. It could be the confrontation I had with Hunter. Or maybe it was something else entirely.I had just sat down at

Grace’s POV“Grace, you need to think about what is best for you. You can’t let them force you into doing something you are uncomfortable with.”Max’s voice was calm but firm as he leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. His sharp blue eyes studied me carefully. The easygoing charm he usually wore was gone, replaced with something much more serious. He was worried about me. It was so nice having someone worry about me and not for their own gain.I swallowed hard, stirring the remnants of my drink with my straw. “It’s not like that. They just want to make sure I’m okay.”Max rubbed his hand over his jaw. “And what do you want? Have you even stopped to ask yourself that?”The question made me stiffen. What did I want? I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I had spent so long letting Helena, my mother, and now even Hunter decide what was best for me that I wasn’t sure I had an answer. The thing was, I wasn’t a weak woman, just hopelessly in love with a man that didn’t see me that way.

Grace’s POV The moment I stepped into the house, I felt it—a shift in the air, a quiet hum of tension vibrating beneath the surface. The weight of my decision settled heavily in my chest. I had agreed to move in.I told myself it was for the baby. I told myself it was logical. But deep down, I knew the truth. I was here because I couldn’t tell Hunter what I had seen today—that I had seen Helena with another man. Because I couldn’t be the one to break him. Hunter loved Helena.I would have sworn there was no way Hunter would marry so soon after his breakup with his long-term fiancée, Emma Mckay. But he had proven me wrong. He had seen Helena, and within months, they were married. Trying for a family almost straight away. The family I had always wanted.And now, I was trapped in the world I had spent years trying to escape. Stuck in the house with the man I loved and couldn’t have.Helena swept in behind me, her high heels clicking against the marble floors, her voice smooth and please

Grace’s POVI already knew tonight would be the first of many I’d come to dread.The air around the dining table was thick, mostly with my own tension. My stomach was in knots, my appetite nonexistent, but I still sat there, pushing food around my plate like I wasn’t coming apart inside.I wasn’t even sure what I had planned to say to Hunter in the study before dinner when I called his name. It wasn’t like I could tell him what I saw. Helena would deny everything, and I had no proof. I should have taken a damn photo.Across from me, Helena swirled her wine lazily, completely at ease, like nothing in the world could touch her. She was lost in her own world, laughing softly at some story only she found interesting. It cut through the silence smooth, perfect, like her. But she wasn’t perfect. She was a cheater.I wanted to punch her.How could she be so careless? She had everything, a husband who would do anything for her, a life most people could only dream about. And still, she was thr

Grace’s POVI couldn’t sleep. I didn’t expect to, not really.After leaving Hunter in the garden, I went straight to my room, shut the door, and tried to breathe. The walls felt too close, the weight of everything pressing in on me.Helena would have left by now, off to wherever she was really going, and Hunter… well, I had no idea what he was doing. I didn’t want to know.But an image of him lying in bed flashed across my mind, his bare chest, the sheets barely covering his hips. I squeezed my eyes shut, heat spreading through me.God.I should have turned on the TV, played some music, done something to distract myself. Instead, I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind stuck in an endless loop of everything I wanted to forget.Helena. Her lies. Her ease with deception.Hunter. His quiet, unreadable expression.I tossed the blankets off and got up. No way was I going to just lie here with my thoughts circling like vultures.The house was mostly quiet when I stepped into the hallw

Grace’s POV I woke up with a sharp gasp, my body trembling, burning hot, my heart slamming against my ribs. My skin felt too tight, like I was going to burst from the heat inside me. I was aching and… wet. The kind of wet that shouldn’t be possible for a virgin.I barely had time to process it before the memory of the dream hit me in flashes. It was dark, raw, dominant. It had involved Hunter. Oh god.But not the composed and unreadable Hunter I saw at work. Not the man who sat across from me at dinner last night. This Hunter had been something else entirely…sexy, demanding and dominant in a way that made my thighs tremble even now.“You’ve been teasing me, sweetheart.” His voice still echoed through my brain, deep and filled with something dark and dangerous.I gasped, pushing off the sheet off, but it didn’t help. I was drenched, my body still pulsing; I understood the reason. I had come in my sleep. I had just woken up from an orgasm. Over him. My sister’s husband. This was so ba

Grace’s POVThe doors slid open, and I stepped in first, ignoring the sound of his footsteps behind me, ignoring the way my body immediately locked up, tense and too aware. How was I going to cope with living and working with him? How was I supposed to pretend like everything was normal when everything inside me felt like it had changed overnight?I kept my eyes forward, watching the numbers light up one by one, pretending like each floor might be the one that set me free. But the air in the lift grew heavier, thick with something I didn’t want to name. I hadn’t even made it past floor three before I heard Hunter shift beside me. Not much. Just enough that his arm brushed mine and my entire body stiffened.“I didn’t mean it,” he said, his voice low.I didn’t look at him. “Mean what?” So very thankful we were in the lift alone.He was quiet for a beat too long. “What I said last night. About bringing you into our home… whatever issue I have, Grace, they’re not because of you. None of t

Grace’s POVBy the time lunch rolled around, I was ready to scream. I hadn’t been able to focus all morning. Hunter had been in and out of his office, and we had hardly spoken. I had timed dropping off his morning coffee well. He had been on a call with the Asia office.Currently, my inbox was full, my schedule stacked, but nothing I did could slow my racing thoughts. Everything about this day felt off, like I was standing on the edge of something I didn’t understand, and the ground was already shifting beneath my feet. Was it just last night or was it everything?I knew now I had made a mistake moving in with them. But seeing Helena with that man... her lover had thrown me off balance.

Helena POVI leaned against the kitchen counter, watching Hunter from across the room. He was quiet tonight. Too quiet. The moment I heard Grace had gone out with Max, I knew exactly why.Hunter sat in the living room, staring at the whiskey in his glass instead of drinking it. He swirled it absently, lost in his thoughts. Thoughts I could guess weren’t about me. No, they were about my sister.Pathetic. I was sure he was worried about Max sleeping with little Grace. Poor, innocent Grace. The bitch was still a virgin. And I knew exactly who she had been saving herself for.Well, tough shit. Hunter was mine. It wasn’t my fault that Grace never made a move, was it? I wanted the life Hunter could give me. Grace thought I didn’t know, but I wasn’t stupid. I kept it all to myself. It wouldn’t do for others to find out. Mom knew enough about why I married Hunter—the lifestyle. But that was it. I never let anyone see the real me.Just the thought of the control I had over people turned me on.
