CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Elizabeth was bored, at first she thought she was going to enjoy not working and speaking to Mara everyday on the phone but after a week, it was looking like all the excitement in her life was over and there was nothing left that to count the letters being displayed on the large screen in front of her, Elizabeth was bored and was still not pregnant. She had called doctor after a week of injecting the sperm into her and although he had said it wasn’t guaranteed that she was going to get pregnant the first time, she had hoped that wasn’t the case.

Jason was out, no doubt in his office right now and Lucien… she was trying so hard to avoid him since the whole altercation and Jason’s question concerning. He wasn’t making it easy though and it was like he was genuinely looking to rile her up.

She has been managing his behavior without informing the owner of the house but Elizabeth swore that if he did something she found uncomfortable, he would be behind bars.

    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN“You are still up” Jason noted immediately he entered the house.Elizabeth sat in front of the television but he wasn’t sure she was concentrating on it.“Yes. How was work?” She asked“Fine, thank you.” He said waiting for her to continue, she definitely had something on her mind with the way she was glaring at him.“What is it?” He asked after some time of waiting and she had no said anything.“I know I am your surrogate and you are paying me to bear your child and all but never ever think that I am yours to own. This or whatever we are doing is purely transactional and nothing more.”“You have been speaking to my brother” he stated calmly.“Yes I have and I do not appreciate you discuss me like I am some object for you to own or keep for yourself.”“You are not an object and I merely said all that so he keeps away from you. You are nothing except the woman who will carry my child and if I have given you an impression more than that, I apologize. Now if you would e

    CHAPTER EIGHTEENThe ride back home was awkward, Elizabeth’s eyes were closed through out and although she could feel the probing stare of Lucien’s eyes, she still kept them shut hoping he would not comment on it.“Am I that repulsive? “ he asked after some time“No of course not.”“Then why do you have your eyes shut tight like you want to be anywhere but with me and you want to see anything but me. I mean I was impulsive and I should not have kissed you but I do not regret it and you shouldn’t too.”“My eyes are not shut because of you, I am motion sick so anytime I get in a car I try to close my eyes and regulate my breathing and also partly because I’m trying to understand why you kissed me.” Elizabeth blurted“I find you really attractive Elizabeth I always have and that’s why I have been trying to get on your nerves this past few weeks and I am sorry if I have been overdoing it, I just wanted you to see me.”“I see you Lucien”“No, you see me as Jason’s brother.

    CHAPTER NINETEENHe was waiting for them, Lucien and Elizabeth could see he was angry. His eyes were ice cold and feet tapping rhythmically on the floor.“Hey bro” Lucien smiled upon entry, his eyes twinkling mischievously.“You are back.” Elizabeth breathed as she watched him.“I am and your phone is switched off.”“Yes, I went with Lucien and errr… he… we” Elizabeth stammered.“Relax brother, we decided to turn off our phones and eat out, it’s no big deal.”“No big deal? You had your tongue down my surrogate’s throat. Now if that is no big deal, I wonder what big deal is.” Jason explodedElizabeth gasped, her hand flying up to her mouth.He had seen them, somehow he had seen them“She is not yours to have” Lucien said quietly.“I asked you for one favor and that is to leave her the fuck alone but as you do every time, trying to undermine my fucking authority.”“Did you leave Cassandra alone when I asked you to.” Lucien said.Cassandra? Elizabeth thought.“So this is what this is abou

    CHAPTER TWENTYElizabeth was dreadful about going to the hospital again and having the doctor probe her vagina and so she and Jason prolonged it for as long as they could.The news about herself and Lucien had long since died down much to her relief as they had not been spotted together since that day and Lucien had moved out of the house.It was just her and Jason which made her too self aware. Her skin tickled anything he was near and she was overly conscious of all of his movements. He had taken the week off; according to him, he realized he had been careless as to her welfare and would like to make up for it by been around her for the week.Elizabeth was happy about the decision for like two days until she could no longer bear to be in his presence without her eyes straying to his lips and her heart pounding when he looked at her for too long and it was as though he was doing it all the time.“You are staring again” she had told him one day while they were having breakfast.“Your

    CHAPTER TWENTY ONE“Did you call him?” he asked her as they got down from the car“of course not, why would I do that. I have no idea why he is here.” She told him.They were walking In the direction of Lucien and he was watching them or at least watching her with hooded and intense eyes, non blinking.“Lucien” Jason said nodding in his direction.He nodded back but his eyes remained on her.“what are you doing here?” she asked, her breath hitching in her throat at the sight of him.“I wanted to see you, Elizabeth because I have missed you so much.”She could not respond… his words washed over her like waves crashing against its banks.Jason was watching her face, it was quite obvious that she was still besotted with his brother, she was looking at him like he was the last thing on earth she wanted to see but still there was some sort of sexual tension between them, like they could not get their hands off each other. He looked like a fool standing there and watching them eat each othe

    CHAPTER TWENTY TWOIt had been a full week since her official non- official breakup with Lucien. Jason was being as polite as ever towards and which was totally infuriating and she was cranky. Elizabeth was never cranky but at the moment all she wanted to do was throw things and maybe break a plate or two but who was that helping except putting more work for the housekeeper who seemed really nice. She had made plans with Mara for today but that was cancelled because something came up at her workplace that needed urgent attention and Darren claimed to be busy with football practice and school, now that her mother was out of the house and in intensive care he had all the free time in the world.Elizabeth heard the door open and close, she could only guess that Agatha was going about her daily duties, cleaning up the house but it was Jason’s voice she heard filtering through. He walked to where she was sitting and nodded, not sparing her a glance.“you are back early” Elizabeth commented

    CHAPTER TWENTY THREEThey were quiet on the ride home, It was pretty obvious that something had shifted between them, something that neither of them wanted to explore at the moment. Jason watched her from the side, wishing he knew what was going through her mind at the moment and if in their moment she had been thinking of Lucien. He knew how much he wanted her but he wasn’t sure if she had the same feelings towards him which was infuriating.“you seem deep in thought” she said breaking the silence.“I am driving Elizabeth, of course I want to focus.” He knew was lying and he was pretty sure she knew too.“about Taco… did you enjoy it?” she asked him.“I did strangely, I haven’t had street food in forever and the only reason I actually ate them in the past was because I was trying to rebel against my parents” he responded.“that must have been cute to watch, little rebellious Jason.” Elizabeth said and they both laughed.“Thank you, I needed the stress relief.” He told her.“I know an

She groaned unable to lift her body was the bed, it was that bad. The rapid pounding of her heart was the only movement being made as she lay there wondering how why she had taken so much wine.A knock on the door interrupts her fuzzy thoughts, she doesn’t answer not because she did not want to but because she could not get her mouth to work, her tongue felt really heavy and she could feel that she desperately wanted to throw up.“Elizabeth, it’s Jason. Are you up? I had Agatha make hangover soup for you.” He said softly.She groaned again, turning to her side and trying to get her legs to work properly. She finally managed to reach the door and open it, standing there like the world’s greatest earthquake happened in her room and managed to touch only her.“you look terrible.” He said, smiling and ent

Nathan Clark is an asshole and should dump him in the dust where he belongs”I wanted to correct her that he wasn’t an asshole, he was merely disturbed but I did not.I was not here to sympathize with him or even think about him. I was here to have fun and that is what I am going to do.I was putting on a red dress and it complimented my eyes way more than I thought it would.“Come on, we should get a drink” Bella pulled me to the bar.The bartender winked at both of us and then asked what we would likeIt was at the tip of my tongue to say nothing but I was at a club, wasn’t I?“Sex on the beach” I announced.Bella turned to me, surprise in her eyes.

Where are you going?”“To settle this once and for all” I told him. “Now send the damned number to me”I hung up before he had the chance to say anything or convince me to back away because I would not.I drove way above the speed limit, stopping only when I had gotten to the mansion’s gate.It brought back memories of family dinners where I had to defend Eleanor over and over again. Where snide remarks about the reason I was with her reached my ears and she said nothing about

I will be coming in here for a very long time” I smiled back.Nathan and I took our seats and waited.She had a queue as usual and I could not help the smile as I glanced around.“You would have watched your father kill me” Nathan commented.“I admit that would have made me feel better for a bit” I told him.He appeared shocked but I could tell from the way his eyes twinkled with delight that he thought it hilarious.I had not expected he would go over to my parent’s house especially seeing as I wasn’t there in the first place.My father however had called me when he arrived with a gun to his head and asked if I wanted to see him. I had hesitated just for the fun of it“I deserved that”“Yes you did” I agreed.“Thank you for coming here with me”I nodded once.Sarah dr

    NATHANI was pacing like a fucking clown.I was expecting Camilla at the office today to discuss the project that we were involved in together and I could not help the restlessness coursing through my body.I wasn’t one to be this nervous about anything.“Deep breaths” I told myself, trying to go along with my instructions but to no avail.So much so that when my receptionist announced her presence, I had worked myself into a frenzy.My breath caught in my throat as she walked in, her eyes taking the room before settling on me with stark clarity.What had I been thinking? I thought.Starved of attention?Who was the blithering idiot now?“You look well” She commented, taking the seat in front of me.“You look beautiful” I murmured.She paused, her eyes meeting mine.Sparks flew, that was for sure.“How do you feel?” She asked instead.“Much better. Thank you for attending to me yesterday. For even accepting the phone call from me”“Of course, I am not a demon even though I do hate you

You sound distressed”He chuckled and then I heard him cough in the background“You are not concerned about me now, are you?”“This is not a joke, what is wrong with you?” I asked again, feeling panicky.He

I did not want to think of anything, I did not want to begin to analyze the anger in my heart directed at one person in particular.When I finally opened my eyes, it was noon.I made my way downstairs and was met with the searching eyes of both my parents.“Are you okay, baby?” My mother asked.I took a seat beside them.“I am not some fragile child you have to be worried about always, mother” I said.“You are my child and I have every reason to be worried about you” she countered.“I am going to be fine” I told her.My father said nothing but I turned to him anyways.“I have d

You are the reason everything has gone to fucking shit” I barraged him. “What did you think was going to happen when you decided to invite Rodrigues and I?”I took a deep breath envisioning Camilla’s disapproving

Are you ready?” I asked him.“I am but-”“Then we should leave to the bar”I turned to look him over, angry at the flutter in my chest and the way my whole being appreciated his looks.He had jeans on and I never thought anyone would look absolutely stunning in them and there was the shirt he was wearing which was rolled up to his elbows, giving free view of his tattoos.I stilled my panicked heart, turning back around and taking a step before he stopped me with a hand on my arm.“I want to apologize for the things I did earlier. It was mean of me to try to take away the seriousness of your feelings and I am sorry. I should be a better person than that” He had a contrite look on his face as he said this.“I am not mad at you, Nathan” I lowered my voice. “I just feel I am more invested in this business than you are and I need you to be professional and take it seriously”He no

Because I loved his view on life or is it because I wanted to do all I could to get out of my father’s shadow.No, that is wrong.Nathan Clark might have been my ticket out but I had come to understand and admire him as an individual.He was a fighter that much was obvious but he was also an asshole.I locked the adjoining door as soon as he left, leaning against it with the tears stinging the corner of my eyes.Another knock“Camilla” My father’s voice came through.“Give me a minute” I called out.I stared at myself in the mirror, running my fingers through my hair.When I opened the door, my father knew immediately that something was wrong.“Are you okay?” He asked“I am fine” I responded. “I was just sleeping” I added so he did not ask any more questions.“I know we should ta
