Substitute Surrogate Bride for Mr. Black Chapter 12
Isabella POVThe evening air inside the Black mansion was heavy with silence, except for the soft hum of the air conditioner and the ticking of the grand clock in the hallway. Isabelle sat by the vanity mirror in her room, staring at her reflection. The dim lighting cast a soft glow on her face, highlighting the quiet determination in her eyes.She had agreed to this marriage for her mother. That contract… those five months… they weren’t just words on paper. They were a countdown to the inevitable. If she failed to get pregnant, she had no idea what Mr. Black Sr. would do. Would he throw her mother out of the hospital? Would he strip her of the financial support she had fought so hard to secure?Her fingers clenched the edge of the wooden table. She didn’t have the luxury of waiting for Sebastian to suddenly wake up one day and decide he wanted her. That wasn’t going to happen. He barely tolerated her presence.She exhaled deeply, her heart pounding. If she had to seduce her husband,

Isabelle povI stood on the aisle in front of the priest, a bouquet of flower in my hand. I have a veil over my face and a beautiful wedding gown that fit like it was molded on me. I'm suppose to get married today, however my groom is no where to be found. “What’s taking your groom soo…long to get here?” The priest ask me, “has something happened to him on his way here?”What would happen to the almighty Mr. black, one rumored to be cold, dangerous and also impotent. Yes, that’s the rumor. He was dangerous and impotent, still I want to marry him,because I have no choice but to, if not my mother would die. “I’m sure he’ll get here soon.” I say, letting out a hard breath. “I don’t know what might be keeping him from his wedding but I’m sure he’ll get here soon.”I look at my dad and stepmother who were at that particular moment greeting the guests and not even looking at me one bit. A feeling of regret surged in me. I shouldn’t have followed along with this agreement.‘It’s just for t

Isabelle povBefore I got to Sebastian's black mansion, I was sitting inside Mr. Black's jeep. I didn't look at him. It was very uncomfortable for me to be in a car with an old man I just gotten married to somehow, but somehow I'm married to his son and not him.“Don’t worry, we’ll get there, soon.” I hear him speak beside me and I glance at him, turning my eye to him. “I meant, Sebastian's mansion…your husband’s house.”“Oh…” I just say and turn my face back to the window. I want to lower the window on my side for fresh air to come in but it’s not my car. The AC inside keeps blowing slight heat at us and no one cares. I let out a deep breath. “But before we get there, I have a proposal for you.” Mr.Black speaks up and I turn back at him. “Here, have a look at it.”He hands me a paper, and I collected it and looked at it. What’s this? I ask myself as I squint my eyes. “SURROGATE WIFE FOR MR. SEBASTIAN BLACK AGREEMENT CONTRACT.” I read the words on the paper and I looked up at Mr.

Isabelle pov[FLASH BACK]. Hope Hospital. I sit inside the hospital room, looking at my mother, sleeping peacefully. The sound of the machine, beeping nonstop in my ear and it was driving me crazy. I hate the sound. Still, I don’t want it to stop, because if it did, it meant my mother had left her body, which I wasn’t ready for, not now, not anytime soon. I need to get that money, no matter what. As I was staring at her, her eyes slowly opened, and she looked at me, smiling weakly. “You’re still here?” She asks me and I nod, holding her hands in mine. “You know you shouldn’t be doing this all the time. You need to go out and live life and have more fun. You’re a grown-up lady, don’t spend all your time watching over me. Take care of yourself and I’ll do mine, myself.”I shake my head in disagreement. “No.” I took my stance, “I won’t leave you and I don’t care about having fun. You’re my fun and everything. I want to spend everything and every moment with you, forever.”“You kno

Isabelle povI stand in the hallway of Sebastian's mansion, my hands relaxed on my chest. I looked at the maids as they each carried my luggage into the mansion. “Where should we put it, Ma’am.” The head maid asked me. She looked to be in her late fifties and I wondered how she still stayed in this mansion and worked for Sebastian even after knowing how he frightened all of them. “Are there any spare rooms?” I ask, my eyes looking around. “Keep it in one of them. I will sort everything later in the morning.” I made way for them to walk along. I stood there for a while, as my luggage was taken in one after the other. I looked at the time and it was already past 10. It was time I retired to bed. I was very tired from today and need a lot of rest for the next day. I stopped the head maid,“Excuse me,” I called out, my hand in the air and she walked over to me. “Where would I be staying for the night?” She looked at me her brows raised a bit. “A room...” She murmurs.“Yes, aren’t th

Isabelle pov “I’m sure I locked the door before I slept last night.” I sat up in the bed, Sebastian rolled away from the bed and picked up his phone. “Are you stalking me?”He laughed.“You amuse me.” Sebastian stood up, away from the bed. As the bed sheet left his waist, his black tight boxer was revealed. “What did you say your name was?”He looked at me but my eyes weren’t looking at him, instead, I was looking at his bulge covered by his boxers. How big was that thing exactly? And I was in bed with THAT???!!!I screamed.“Pervert!!!!!!” Raising my bed sheet to cover my face. I kept screaming, then stood to my feet and ran for the door.When I placed my hand on the doorknob, struggling to get it open, I noticed Sebastian still looking at me in a daze, probably wondering why I was acting that way. I guess he was asking himself if I was crazy.Still, I ran swiftly as fast as my legs could carry me. I had to be far away from him. I couldn’t stay any longer around him. I just can’t.*

Sebastian POVI walk huskily out of my mansion, my face straight. I never have too much of an expectation. I’ve always know this new wife would be trouble through and through.As I walk down the little stair at the front of the mansion, heading for the black jeep parked outside the mansion, my memory drifted shortly to father. He had told me he was going to get me a wife to which I humbly refused. Perhaps he didn’t hear me when I said I would make sure the woman he brings leaves the presumed marriage in pieces, but as always, my father always chooses what he wants to hear.I looked up at my female assistant, Kate Anderson as she stood beside the jeep, holding a tab in her hands. She looked up and saw me approaching, she rushed to open the door. “To the office.” I said after stepping into the car, my face serious. “Alright, Sir.”she nodded and rushed to the drivers seat. Soon after, we were at the office. As I entered Into the main building, my five bodyguards followed suit behind

Isabelle pov“Husband, why did you come back home this late?” My legs were crossed over each other as I stared at Sebastian figure in the door way. “I’ve missed you.”Instead of a reply, he thundered loudly.“What’s that supposed to mean?”“I don’t like eating dinner alone…I was waiting for you.” I pouted my lips babyish. I was expecting a smile to break the hardness on his face, but his face was set hard. “Why do you care? A-and…why are you dressed like that?” His hoarse voice came out, I could have sworn that I was starting to get frightened because of how he was staring at me. “Get some clothes on to cover your body.”“Ohhh you don’t like my skin?” I touched my leg and slowly slide my lingerie but he looked at me hard and looked away“I don’t!, I said get some clothes on!” He shouted. His hands still holding onto the doorknob. “Okay…”I raised my hands in defense and went over to get a black robe and cover myself completely. “no need to be too hostile about it…I’d go put on some clo

Chapter 11 Isabelle’s POV The bakery had always been my escape—a place where the scent of freshly baked bread and pastries drowned out the noise of my reality. But today, I couldn't shake off the unease creeping up my spine. Travis' reaction to Sebastian's name had stuck with me. That deep frown, the way his jaw had tightened—he knew something. And I needed to know what. I finished my business with Lady Frigerthon, packed up my things, and decided to head home. As I turned a corner, my phone buzzed in my pocket. A glance at the screen made my stomach drop. Dad. I hesitated before answering. “Hello?” “Where are you?” His voice was clipped, impatient. “At the market,” I replied cautiously. “Why?” A sigh crackled through the phone. “Your stepmother wants us to have dinner together tonight.” I nearly scoffed. Us? As in, the father who barely acknowledged me, the stepmother who always found a reason to criticize me, and the stepsister who lived to make my life miserable? “Isabe
Substitute Surrogate Bride for Mr. Black Chapter 10
Chapter 10 Isabelle’s POV I woke up to the sound of rain tapping against the large bedroom window, the gray morning light filtering through the curtains. My body ached slightly from the stress of yesterday’s events, but my mind was sharper than ever. Sebastian was hiding something from me. And so was Travis. I needed answers. After freshening up, I pulled on a simple black dress and tied my hair into a ponytail. As I stepped out of the bedroom, the rich aroma of coffee filled the air. I wasn’t in the mood for breakfast, but I knew I had to eat something before heading out. As I reached the dining room, I froze. Sebastian was already there, sitting at the long mahogany table, flipping through the pages of a newspaper as he sipped his coffee. He looked every bit the billionaire he was—polished, powerful, and completely unreadable. His piercing blue eyes lifted to mine the moment I walked in. "You’re up early," he remarked, setting his cup down. "So are you," I replied, making

Chapter 9Isabelle’s POVThe moment Travis said Sebastian’s name, his whole expression changed. His easygoing smile disappeared, replaced by something hard to decipher—shock, disbelief, and something else. Something darker.I frowned. "Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?"Travis blinked, shaking his head as if snapping out of a trance. "It’s just… unexpected," he said carefully. "I didn’t think you—of all people—would marry him."I arched a brow. "And what exactly does that mean?"Travis hesitated, his lips parting slightly as if he wanted to say something, but then he exhaled sharply and ran a hand through his perfectly styled hair. "Nothing. Never mind."A strange, uneasy feeling settled in my chest. Travis had always been honest with me. We had known each other for years, and he had never been the type to hold back. But now, he was hesitating.I stepped closer. "Travis, if you know something about him, you should tell me."He studied me for a moment, then forced a small smile

Isabelle povI had to play dead. If not, I don’t know what Sebastian was going to do to me. I could feel my body move from the floor into his arms and then gently placed on the bed in the room. After, I heard him dial a number and ask that the family doctor rush over to the house. In what felt like minutes, the door of the room was pushed open and I could feel the presence of two beings inside the room. One the doctor and the other my nemesis of a husband, Sebastian. “What happened to her?” The doctor ask Sebastian who has his hands crossed. I slowly open my eyes to peep at them but when Sebastian look my way, I quickly shut my eyes. “She just collapsed when I was talking to her.”Sebastian reply was quick. No fragment of emotion in his tone. It was like he didn’t care and the reason why he had called the doctor was not to have a dead body in his room. Wise I'd say.“She did? You didn’t touch her did you?” There was sarcasm in the doctor’s voice that brought silence to the room.
