“Are you sure you want to do this?” A soft murmur reached Sierra’s ears as she closed her eyes. “Is there another way?” “You’ve already heard what the doctor said about Callie’s condition, right? There’s no other way, Sierra.” Axton lifted his head from the crook of Sierra’s neck. “So, let’s get this done now and give me the money according to our deal,” Sierra said confidently while giving him a long kiss. *** Sierra signed an agreement to become a surrogate mother for her best friend, Callie, who couldn’t get pregnant by herself due to lupus. As part of the arrangement, Sierra would receive compensation, which she planned to use to pay off the debt left by her bastard father. Unfortunately, after they finalized the agreement, Callie was declared unable to produce eggs for fertilization. In the end, the only solution rested with Sierra. Callie asked her best friend to sleep with her husband so they could have a child together, a baby that would be raised as Axton and Callie’s own. Having no other choice, she slept with her boss, who also happened to be her best friend’s husband, and eventually became pregnant with his child. However, tragedy struck when Callie fell seriously ill during Sierra’s seventh month of pregnancy and passed away. So, what happens next? What will happen to Sierra and the baby she is pregnant with? What if there are many hidden truths between them? What if Sierra and Axton had a connection in the past before Axton married Callie? What if Axton and Callie’s relationship was built on a web of lies that Callie kept hidden? As secrets from their pasts begin to unravel, how will Sierra and Axton face the future?
Lihat lebih banyakHer chest fluttered every time she felt a warm breath brush against her skin—especially when a pair of hands touched her most intimate parts. Those hands teased her just right, touching in a way that made it seem like they already knew every place capable of overwhelming her senses.
“Is there another way?” Sierra tried to open her eyes, but what she saw only made her mind even more chaotic.
She knew it shouldn’t be like this. But what could she do? She needed money, and this was the only way to get it quickly.
“You’ve already heard what the doctor said about Callie’s condition, right? There’s no other way, Sierra. So I’m asking you again, are you sure about this?” Axton lifted his head from the crook of Sierra’s neck, giving her a sharp look. His black eyes glared, full of emotions and desire that had already consumed him.
Oh, so this was the man who claimed to love his wife and refused to leave her, no matter what? This man was now in her bed—kissing every inch of her naked body while his wife slept in the room next door.
“So, let’s get this done now and give me the money according to our deal,” Sierra said confidently.
Axton’s gaze dropped back down to her—trying to reassure himself about what he was about to do.
Well, of course, this man had a lot to think about. One of those things was the fact that he was about to sleep with the woman who was supposed to be a surrogate to carry his child since his wife couldn’t due to health reasons. This was obviously hard for Axton, who had vowed to stay loyal to his wife no matter what the future held. But for Sierra, it wasn’t easy either.Not only because the man who was kissing her was her best friend’s husband, but she’d also never thought she would lose her virginity to someone other than her husband. Yet, once again, Sierra had no choice.
None of them did—not Sierra, Axton, or Callie.
“Ah,” even though she tried to hold it in, Sierra couldn’t suppress the moan that escaped her lips as two fingers slipped inside her. “Don’t go too fast,” she whispered softly, almost pleading, as her thighs squeezed Axton’s wrist while he teased her breasts.
This man knew exactly what he was doing.
He knew when to move his fingers quickly, and when to slow down.
He even knew exactly what to do when Sierra reached her first orgasm with just the motion of his two fingers.
Sierra was still panting as she closed her eyes, her legs spread wide open. She had forgotten the embarrassment she felt when she first let Axton see her body. Now, she couldn’t even think. Even when Axton pulled away from her to remove the only piece of clothing still on him, Sierra couldn’t form a single thought.
She watched as he hurriedly moved—his hands unbuckling his belt, undoing his pants, and pulling them down in one swift motion.
He quickly joined her on the bed, positioning himself perfectly in front her. One of his hands guided himself while the other grabbed her breast with more roughness than before.
The moment it happened, Sierra arched her body as pain seared through her most private area. It felt like something was tearing her apart from the inside—penetrating a place that had never been touched before.
“Oh God, you’ve never been touched before?” Axton’s gaze showed his surprise. His eyes widened in disbelief, and Sierra swore his desire was evident in that look.
“You know the answer,” Sierra responded with difficulty. Aside from the tears that flowed embarrassingly, she swore this was the most humiliating moment of her life. She had no idea how she would face Callie the next morning when her best friend found out that her husband had slept with her tonight. She didn’t even know how to face herself, realizing that she had completely sold herself for money—sold her virginity to her best friend’s husband.
“Are you okay with that?” Axton asked softly.
Sierra nodded.
What could she do? She couldn’t take back what had already been done, even if she shook her head.
Now it was too late, and there was nothing left to do but continue what she had already allowed to start.
“Let me in,” Axton whispered softly, kissing her demanding lips—forcing her to open her mouth and respond to his kiss.
Of course, Axton did everything perfectly. His kiss, combined with the way he squeezed her breast, reignited the passion that had overtaken her.
Damn. This was madness.
By the time Axton’s hips started pushing deeper, Sierra had already gotten used to his movements. The discomfort in her private parts was still there, but she knew she was also enjoying what he was doing to her body.
“Damn,” Axton muttered in his deep voice.
That voice brought Sierra back to her memories of the past—reminding her that she was in bed with her best friend’s husband.
Sierra remembered being one of the bridesmaids at Axton and Callie’s wedding two years ago. They were so happy. Of course, they were happy. Who wouldn’t be happy on their own wedding day?
Unfortunately, something that seems perfect isn’t always truly perfect.
Axton’s family needed an heir, which meant Callie had to give birth to a child. However, her health wouldn’t allow her to carry a pregnancy, as the risks were too big. So, they decided to find a surrogate to be pregnant with their child.
Well, that was the agreement when Axton and Callie came to Sierra with a ridiculous request.
Sierra needed money. She needed it to pay off her father’s debts after he left her to marry a prostitute—leaving her to work alone to repay the debt, or else her house would be seized, and she’d become homeless. The offer from her friend seemed like a mutually beneficial deal, solving all three of their problems.
Unfortunately, two months ago, Callie was diagnosed with a condition that would prevent her from producing healthy eggs due to her worsening illness.
There was no solution to their problem. In fact, things only became messier.
And now, here Sierra was—lying naked while her best friend’s husband made love to her.
“Ah!” Sierra reached out to touch Axton’s hair as he moved at a frantic pace—so fast that her body shook because of it.
In a moment Sierra couldn’t describe in words, she felt something release from her body again, making her unable to stifle a long, passionate moan as the man on top of her kept thrusting. At the same time, he felt the same. He pulled back and pushed harder—deeper than before, releasing himself inside her.
Sierra squeezed her eyes shut, wrapping her arms and legs around his back.
Two minutes passed. Axton remained in the same position, as though he wanted to stay there to catch his breath after what they’d just done.
Of course, Sierra had already let go of her embrace, but she stayed silent because she didn’t know what to say.
A few seconds later, Axton rolled over and lay on his back beside her. Sierra took the opportunity to grab the blanket that had fallen to the floor and quickly covered her naked body. She wanted to go to the bathroom and clean herself up, but she couldn’t do that now if she wanted to get pregnant quickly.
Get pregnant, give birth, take the money, and then get away from this messy life.
“I’ll call the maid to help you.” Axton exhaled, sitting at the edge of the bed.
His back was the only thing Sierra could see, and her heart fluttered when she noticed the scratch marks her nails had left on his skin.
“Don’t do that. I can clean myself,” Sierra lowered her gaze, feeling deep shame when she saw the bloodstain on the sheets.
“Don’t move yet. Let them work.”
Sierra knew what Axton meant, so she just nodded in understanding. “Ask the maid to leave the sheets at my door, but don’t let them come in. I don’t want anyone seeing me like this.”
Axton turned around, and Sierra was relieved that he had put his pants back on, even though he wasn’t fully dressed. At least she didn’t have to look at… the part of him that had made her moan shamelessly earlier.
“Alright,” he nodded, gazing at her as if there was something he wanted to say. But a few seconds passed, and he still said nothing.
Feeling she had been lying in the same position long enough to follow the rule of staying still to help his sperm reach her egg, Sierra slowly moved to the edge of the bed and let her legs dangle.
“I’m about to go to the bathroom. Can you give me some privacy?”
“Of course. Call me if you need anything.”
Sierra didn’t respond.
Of course, she wouldn’t call him in the middle of the night like this. And she never should have called him in the first place, never should have let her best friend’s husband into her room to sleep with her.
The sound of the door closing told Sierra that he had left to sleep in his wife’s room.
Damn. It hurt.
Lately, Sierra had grown fond of gardening. She enjoyed planting flowers, and since she had a spacious backyard, she was free to do whatever she pleased there.After returning from their honeymoon across various countries, she had already planned a beautiful concept for her backyard. Her mother used to love gardening, even after coming home tired from work, though they didn’t have an adequate plot of land to do so. Now that Sierra had better opportunities than her mother ever had, she wanted to honor that hobby—bringing something her mother loved into her new home.When Sienna was with her grandmother, Sierra found herself with free time to indulge in something she enjoyed, keeping herself entertained so she wouldn't feel bored. Occasionally, she would step out to purchase gardening tools and thoroughly enjoyed those moments.In the past, she couldn’t afford this kind of relaxed lifestyle because she always had a demanding schedule. Since college, she’d been accustomed to working part
Axton made Sierra leave the United States for a honeymoon in Europe one month after their wedding. He didn’t tell her where they would go or how long they would be on vacation, leaving Sienna with her grandparents. He only said that he had everything planned but wanted it to be a surprise, so the only thing Sierra had to do was to look beautiful every morning and look forward to each surprise he would give.This morning, they woke up in Norway after spending the night watching the beautiful Aurora Borealis. It felt like a dream—a place so beautiful it seemed unreachable by humans. But Sierra was there with Axton, and it was a truly wonderful experience.Then, in the night, they traveled to Switzerland and stayed there for an unknown number of days, visiting places they would explore.“I can’t believe I’m unemployed and traveling the world with you,” she commented while standing near the window of the villa they were staying in.The view of nature there was so soothing to her eyes. Eve
Sierra and Axton had agreed to host a simple wedding celebration attended only by close family and friends. Most of the guests were Axton’s family and friends, as Sierra didn’t have either.Well, she had invited Andrea—if the woman could even be categorized as a friend. And Damian…Actually, Sierra wasn’t the one who invited Damian. It was Axton, which had completely surprised her.“To my daughter-in-law, Sierra Scott, I love you, pretty girl,” Axton’s mother said, blowing an air kiss and smiling warmly. Sierra laughed as she stood next to Axton.After all the formal wedding, it was time for speeches from the couple’s closest people. Sadly, Sierra had to remind herself once again that she had no parents or close friends to speak for her.“I always wished I could have met Sophia, Sierra’s mother because she raised such an incredible woman with all her strength,” Axton’s mother began. “Sierra is a passionate woman with a beautiful perspective on everything in the world. She loves everyo
Sierra stared at her reflection in the mirror, disbelief evident in her eyes.It was hard to accept that all of this was real. But of course, she wasn’t dreaming as she stood there in her wedding gown, her face adorned with flawless makeup. She was almost too afraid to touch her own skin, worried she might ruin the carefully applied look.“You look absolutely stunning,” Axton’s mother said, wiping tears from the corner of her eyes as she admired Sierra standing in front of the mirror. “You are the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen.”Sierra smiled and turned her head slightly. “Don’t exaggerate, Mom,” she replied, taking a deep breath. “I feel unsure about walking out there. What if people judge me?”The woman immediately took her hand, looking at her with genuine warmth. “When Callie—the most important person in your life—gives her blessing for what you’re about to do, why should you care about what anyone else thinks?”Sierra had read the letter Callie had given her. She must have
“I’m here,” Sierra said softly.A week after receiving Callie’s letter and all the gifts the woman had sent her, Sierra finally decided to visit Callie.“I also stopped by the store you worked with, just to thank them,” Sierra said, taking a deep breath as she sat down on the damp ground of Callie’s grave, ignoring the possibility of her skirt getting dirty. “They were confused, looking for me at your old house. I don’t live there anymore, Callie. I moved after giving birth because Axton thought it would be better for us to find a new home. Staying there made it hard to move on, constantly reminded of you.”She glanced at Axton, who was walking toward her from a distance.Today, she wasn’t alone. Axton and Sienna had come with her. But when they arrived, Sienna wanted to breastfeed, so Sierra left them in the car. Axton could handle her to help her drink her milk, and it wasn’t an issue for him.“I’m sorry I didn’t realize how much you cared for me and Sienna. I thought you were angry
Sierra couldn’t blink, and it felt like time had stopped for a moment. Her body felt stiff, even though the only thing she desperately wanted to do was run away.What Damian had said entirely left her at a loss for words. If she were honest, those words moved her deeply, making her feel even guiltier toward him.That wasn’t what he should have said. Damian should have angrily cursed at them for causing a scene in front of his apartment in the morning. He should have... He could have said something harsh to her if he truly wanted to show how upset he was with everything.But instead of doing that, Damian chose to say something kind—words that should never have come from someone who had been wronged.Thankfully, Axton could read her mind well enough to step forward, grab her hand, and lead her away from there.“Let’s go home!” he said, walking briskly.Of course, Sierra followed Axton. She walked without turning her head because she didn’t want to see Damian again.“I never knew that Da
This morning, Sierra cooked breakfast for everyone because she knew that the maids in her house must be exhausted after participating in last night's party. She didn't just prepare breakfast for her family but also for the entire staff."This is a simple menu, but I hope you'll like it," she said with a quick smile. "I'm not great at cooking, but I made sure it's safe to eat." She brought the food to the dining table near the kitchen. Usually, the maids and workers gathered there to eat together, which is why Sierra had come in now."You really shouldn't have gone to so much trouble. You must be exhausted after last night's party," said one of the staff.Sierra waved her hand with a playful smile. "Please, don't be so stiff when talking to me. If I'm tired, then you all must be tired too. This is just a small thing I can do. But this afternoon, I'll ask Axton to buy food for us all so you don’t have to cook.""Oh God, looks like this party made you happy," Percy commented casually, un
Sierra felt much more relaxed once she was back with Axton and Sienna. Of course, they were still the center of attention since it was their party, but now she didn’t have to stand alone in the middle of it all.“I don’t know what to give her, but she seems to like everything I give her,” a middle-aged woman, whom Axton introduced as his aunt, handed Sierra a large paper bag with the logo of a luxury brand.Sierra was quite stunned by this, but she quickly nodded and offered a polite smile. “Thank you for taking the time to visit Sienna. I hope you enjoy the party tonight.”“Well, of course, I’m enjoying it,” the woman smiled. “Isn’t Alicia the one who organized all of this? I’ve been to every one of her parties, and I can always tell which ones she’s organized. And I can say this one is definitely hers.”Sierra turned her head toward Axton and smiled again. “She put this together in just three days, and it amazes me.”“She’s a legend when it comes to parties in New York,” the woman c
Sienna’s bedtime routine often started with the family gathering in the living room after dinner. Percy and Bethany would prepare light snacks, and once Sienna fell asleep, Axton’s parents would head back to their home.“I’ve been thinking about this since Sienna was born,” Axton’s mother began with a warm smile, holding Sienna close in her arms. “But things have been quite hectic lately. I just wanted to spend as much time as possible with this beautiful girl. However, all our relatives and acquaintances keep asking about her, and I don’t want us to waste too much time hosting them one by one.”Sierra frowned slightly, resting her head on Axton’s shoulder as he held her hand and played with her fingers.“Some family members managed to visit the hospital, but others haven’t had the chance yet. They keep asking me when they can come, but I don’t know when to let them. I’m worried they’ll take up too much of our time.”Sierra’s frown deepened, but she remained silent.“So, what are you
