THE BILLIONAIRE'S SURROGATE BRIDE Chapter 45
(Luna's pov)The drive to his workplace was rather too far from the hospital, thankfully the music playing killed the awkwardness, for the first time ever it was just us alone riding.I was thinking we will never reach it till I suddenly began to recognize the road."Suddenly seems far today," I said "This is a different route," he said casually getting out of the car, did he seriously intentionally follow the long route, no wonder he turned on the music.I got down too watching as he handled his keys over before turning to look at me."Why are you always away from me?" he asked with a raised brow "you move fast and I hardly keep up," I replied watching as a cover of his cheeks curled in, he stretched his hand to me pulling me close to him, he was quick with it but my heart still remains quicker and undefeated."That was smooth," I said masking my awareness as I heard him chuckle almost like music to my ears, I wonder if the whole of today is among the things I am supposed to forget

..."I believe you already know, but my wife," Max said sort of introducing me to the meeting while my eyes remained glued to Hervey who in turn had her eyes on me.She looked different but it was her, she was dressed in cooperate and she appears to have gotten a really big chop on her hair which is now very short.I am not very what my role is here but Max kept nudging perhaps for me to say something but her appearance did through me off a lot. I finally managed to tear my eyes away from her as I looked to take in the faces of others, there were six in total, Hervey and another lady being the only woman with the rest being middle-aged men."What is the meaning of this?" one of the men asked at the same moment Max made me sit on the chair near him "Isn't it obvious? Why are you here? it's not for business but because of exactly what you are seeing," he said sarcastically I almost raised an eyebrow because the man in question he was answering to looks significantly older than him but

NARRATOR (SABASTINE)Sabastine's brow furrowed as he parked his car along the side of the road. He glared at the towering building complex before him, prison. A grim reminder of the past he couldn't escape. The air was thick with tension, and his mood was as sour as the memories that haunted him.Stepping out of the car, his footsteps echoed in the silent surroundings. The gravel crunched beneath his shoes, a stark contrast to the heavy silence that enveloped the area. As he closed the car door, the metallic clank seemed to resonate with the iron bars of the prison gates that loomed ahead.He took a deep breath, his chest tight with anxiety. His eyes were fixed on the entrance, his jaw clenched as he steeled himself for what lay ahead. The sky above was overcast, casting a dull light that seemed to intensify the gloominess of the scene.Approaching the prison gates, his heart raced, and a shiver crawled down his spine. The cold, unyielding metal seemed to welcome him back to a place

(Luna's pov)Going back into the meeting room became another challenge and I am not ready to embark on that."How about waiting at his office?" His secretary said breaking the long silence that accompanied me as I sat alone on the long bench, Hervey had left after giving me a piece of her mind.And in all honesty, I do not know where our friendship lies now, no matter how I try to twist it, I am marrying a man she was supposed to be with anyway.It's crazy how small the big city suddenly feels and how connected everybody is like a full circle is coming together, who knows who else I randomly meet that is close to Maximilian in a mysterious way, now I have a bite of fear within me, the world of the rich is certainly complicated and not necessarily one to indulge in."What do you say?" His secretary said again bringing back from the world of thoughts."That would do," I said forcing a smile to ease the awkwardness."Hope he wouldn't mind," I asked while she smiled warmly "Why would he

(Max's Pov)The soft glow from the window painted the room in a warm, inviting light. Luna and I sat side by side on the bed, the weight of the day's events fading into the background as it seems like we are looking for solace in each other's presence. Our shoulders brushed lightly, a subtle connection that remainded me of the hug we shared.I reached out, my fingers grazing her arm in a gentle caress. But as quickly as the touch was initiated, she shifted slightly, pulling away almost imperceptibly. A flicker of confusion passed through me, my heart skipping a beat as I wondered if I had misread the moment. I cleared my throat, searching for words to break the silence that had suddenly settled between us."Are you okay?" I asked softly, my voice carrying a hint of concern, I have come to kmow and see the side of me she likes.She turned her head, her eyes meeting mine briefly before darting away. A small smile played at the corners of her lips, a facade that seemed to belie the turmo

...(Maximilian cont'd)Her voice, tinged with frustration and anger, filled the air like a storm gathering strength. Her words crashed against me, each sentence a wave that threatened to engulf me in its intensity. I watched as her brows furrowed, her lips forming sharp lines that mirrored the sharpness of her words. And yet, even in the midst of her anger, there was something undeniably endearing about the way she expressed herself.Her eyes blazed, a fire ignited by disappointment and hurt. I tried to focus on her words, to understand the depth of her emotions, but a part of me was captivated by the fierce determination in her gaze. As she spoke, her hands gestured animatedly, punctuating her words with sharp movements that underscored the weight of her frustration.Of course I already figured out that Seraphina lied but I rather her leash out on me like this.A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips, an involuntary reaction to the contrast between her fiery expression and the

(Luna's pov)The words hung in the air like a surreal echo, and I stared at Max, trying to gauge his expression for any sign of a jest. A faint smile tugged at his lips, and for a split second, I thought he was kidding. My heart raced with a mixture of amusement and confusion, my mind grappling to comprehend the weight of what he had just said."You're joking, right?" I blurted out, a nervous laugh bubbling up. The mere thought of being pregnant was so far from my reality that I couldn't help but assume it was a playful tease, a way to catch me off guard.Max shook his head earnestly, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that erased any doubts I might have had. "No, Luna, I'm not joking. The doctor told me when we were at the hospital a few days ago."The laughter faded, replaced by a rush of emotions that surged through me like a tidal wave. The shock registered, and my hand instinctively moved to rest over my stomach as if to protect myself from the sudden surge of realizati

...After the harsh words had been exchanged, a heavy silence descended upon the room like a thick fog, suffocating any remaining warmth. My heart raced, echoing the tension that hung in the air. The air seemed to hold its breath, waiting for someone to break it.I sank down onto the edge of the bed, the mattress giving a soft sigh beneath me. My fingers clenched and unclenched, a physical manifestation of the turmoil within. Every heartbeat sent a jolt of emotion through my body, reminding me of the pain I was trying so desperately to quell.I glanced at the space where Max had stood just moments ago, his figure outlined by the sliver of light that crept in through the curtains. His back was turned to me, shoulders tense, and his steps were heavy as he retreated from the battlefield we had unwittingly created. I watched his broad shoulders recede, the very sight of him igniting a flurry of emotions within me.The seconds ticked by, each one carrying the weight of an eternity. The sec

THE BILLIONAIRE'S SURROGATE BRIDE Epilogue
(Luna)Just How long has it been? I have long stopped counting. Just kidding, it's been ages and I am no longer pregnant. Max and I were in for a lot of shock when the twins were born.We intentionally never went and asked for the gender but we were sure at the scanning all we saw was one baby. Even without expecting it, we were the happiest.My two beautiful angels, they still look nothing like me though, although Mother assured me they would pick up my features as they grow up. Speaking of Mother, I meant Max's mother, I am still working on the relationship with my mother. It did break me at a point, when I realized I myself was one of a twin. I couldn't remain neutral after learning that I was a twin and sadly she is no more. And both she and my father robbed me of the opportunity to bond with her. Not even once did I get to see her, neither did she know of my existence and you might have guessed who my twin was.... Yes, Lucy. The same Lucy Sabastine was in love with was my tw

(The End)"You love me?" was all I could muster as an overwhelming rush of happiness slowly seeped into my entire body. He was talking but all I could see was his mouth moving as his voice faded.It was an out-of-body experience as I tried to stand still, resisting myself from jumping up and down from joy."Say something please," I heard him say with a wild smile across my face."I don't know what to say" I answered truthfully as my cheeks continued to hit up."So does this change your answer?" he asked, attempting to hold my hands, his hands trembling as I held his sweaty hands. His gaze was mesmerizing. How come I didn't see all of this? It was all in front of me. Perhaps I hold him in such a high place that I think it's not possible for a man like him to feel something like love."You are Nervous," I said as he smiled awkwardly."Perhaps I am," he replied as I looked around again."You prepared all of this with Hervey?" I asked. All this while he went out with Hervey thi

I stood with my jaw on the floor, utterly stunned by the beautifully decorated scene before me. The backyard had been transformed into a romantic haven, with soft fairy lights hanging from the trees, flowers adorning the tables, and a cozy dining area for two set under a canopy.Slowly, my lips curled up into a smile as I took in the breathtaking sight. It was a vision of romance and thoughtfulness that took my breath away. I couldn't believe my eyes."Max?" I called him, taking a step forward looking around.As I tried to process this enchanting setup, my heart raced with anticipation. It felt like a dream, a fantasy brought to life in the most delightful way. The air was filled with a gentle breeze, and the ambiance was so perfect that it seemed almost surreal.Turning to Max, I couldn't contain my excitement. "What's happening?" I asked, my voice filled with a mixture of joy and disbelief. "Did you just set up a date for us in your own backyard?""Our backyard," he corrected, his e

...The sound of birds chirping became clearer as I slowly opened my eyes, I stretched my hand searching for a as I opened my eyes. He wasn't lying beside me.Slowly I rose from bed, scratching my eyes a bit disappointed that Mac wasn't in the room. I sat down watching the clock trying to figure out just for how long I had slept.The door swung open as I peeked forward to see Max enter with his back, a bit confused I watched waiting for him to turn around before I figured out he was carrying with him a tray of food. "Max," I called him with a smile as he approached."You are awake now?" he said, dropping the tray by the side as I looked to see what it was. Oatmeal with fresh berries and nuts."You wanted to surprise you," he said sitting by the bed with a smile on his face, I couldn't stop smiling as I looked at the food."Breakfast in bed?" I asked while he nodded proud of himself."You don't like it? " he asked, his voice carrying a hint of concern as he stared at me. "I made it wi

....I sat beneath a delicate canopy in the garden, surrounded by a riot of vibrant flowers that swayed gently in the breeze. The scent of blooms, sweet and intoxicating, enveloped me in a fragrant embrace. The dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves overhead, casting a warm and comforting glow.It was a serene haven, a sanctuary of nature's beauty. Each flower seemed to tell a story, its petals a canvas of colors that whispered tales of growth and resilience. Bees and butterflies danced from one bloom to another, their delicate movements adding to the garden's lively symphony.As I sat there, my fingers trailed along the soft petals of a nearby blossom, feeling the delicate texture beneath my touch. The world beyond this tranquil space seemed to fade away, leaving me with a profound sense of peace and contentment.The gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, the chirping of birds in the distance, and the soft hum of nature's chorus became a soothing soundtrack to my thoughts. In t

...."We can come along," Harrison said as I stood by the door smiling as they all came outside to escort me."No, you are not coming along Harrison," Max said sharply at him while I chuckled."I hope it's a girl," Hervey commented, smiling as she stared at my tummy. Even without mentioning it to her she already knew that I was pregnant. By surprise in Harrison's eyes, it was obvious they knew nothing about it even Cecilia immediately looked at my tummy."Let's go," Max said, holding my hand as he led me to the car."I'm so sorry, I had no idea they were coming," he apologized while I shook my head."No I don't mind, I like them," I said as he frowned. Pouting his lips."They are friends and your family," I said as he nodded."They will stress you, especially Harrison," he said while I smiled."Am not stressed at all I like that they are here, your house is too big and enough to hold in more people, they would be of good company," I said "Am I not a good company?" he asked as I let o

I stood in the shower, the warm water cascading down my back like a gentle waterfall. The feeling of the water against my skin was pure bliss, and for the first time in a long while, I was in a remarkably good mood.I tilted my head back, letting the water drench my hair. As I ran my hand through the wet strands, I could feel the tension of the past days slowly melting away. The sensation of the water rushing over me was like a soothing balm, washing away the weight of the past and leaving me feeling refreshed and renewed.With each stroke of my fingers through my hair, I pushed the water backward, reveling in the simple pleasure of the shower. It was a moment of solitude and self-care, a reminder that life had its moments of serenity and tranquility.As the water continued to envelop me, I closed my eyes, savoring the warmth and the sense of well-being that it brought. The worries and uncertainties of the past were momentarily forgotten, and in that instant, all that mattered was the

...The strong hand across my chest wasn't bulging no matter how many times I stirred in my sleep probably waking him up countless times but he held me close making me use his other hand as a pillow.The sunlight has illuminated the room, it was morning already and my eyes hadn't opened to a dream or even worse a nightmare. Rather, the warm embrace and sweet smile from my man. Perhaps I am being too forward by calling him my man. But for as long as I am beside him. He is my man.My eyes couldn't leave his face as still was deep in his sleep, his eyes shut closed as I slowly raised his arm making him lay flat with his two hands spread on the bed.My eyes marveled at how tanned he had gotten with nice veins running all the way from his shoulder to his hands. I have never noticed this many details in his body. I cupped his chest sizing it to my small breast. If he continues to work out he might become my competition soon in the department of chest area.Slowly I began to notice the tiny

My breath hitched as I struggled to catch my breath. For some reason, the minty breath from him drove me insane as my hands traveled around my body roaming in the right places.Foggy, dizzy, lightheaded I couldn't stand still as my knees buckled. Finally, I ruffled his hair, and slowly his pacing began rougher and more urgent. As his tongue fluttered against mine. His hand pulled me closer and closer. No matter how much he pulled it felt like it was never going to be enough. If it were possible I wish to be inside him. Inside his skin.His cold body has turned warm in a minute, vulnerable I felt in his arms, the warmth from his body comforting like a safe coven.Pausing to catch my breath I couldn't control myself as I nibbled on his chin before I could stop myself. He nibbled on my ears, moving to my very sensitive neck. Again our faces apart as I stared at him my eyes barely opened."You feel so good," he murmured as I stared mesmerized."Just how long has it been, I have longed so
