There's enough space for all." Sophia's voice echoed from within her closet. I could hear her ruffling things about as she packed her suitcases. She had just gotten an urgent call to fill in for a sick friend for some fashion event in Spain.
"You know I would in a heartbeat my love. But there are some serious issues with the company that require my presence and attention now, and I can not afford to just postpone it again." I continued scrolling through the emails my assistant had sent me. She handled all the less important ones and only sent me only the ones of utmost importance. And the were a ton of them. I had been ignoring them for weeks now, with Maraïda coming into our lives and every event that preceded her arrival, but they were beginning to threaten my businesses. I had to take advantage o

Maraïda's POVI woke up to the scent of fresh summer breeze and Yves Saint Laurent. The scent was addictive and impossible to resist. I felt my body pressed and coiled to another bigger one. It was tight but very comfortable. I struggled to slip out of his hold but he just pulled me impossibly closer, held on tighter and continued snoring away. I felt slightly dizzy and couldn't remember much of what had happened; or how Jared got into my bed and cuddled in with me. But it was a very pleasant feeling seeing him and feeling him.All was riding on pretty well until he started caressing my side arms and mumbled Sophia's name. It pierced me like a silver stake, right through the heart. How could he be with me and still think of her, even in his sleep. Did he really love her that much? Did I really have no chance at having him all to myself? I shoved him with all force away hoping he'd fall off the bed; but he was too big and I wasn't even strong enough. He just flinche

Jared's POVI soon realised the reasons why I could never see things in the same light as Sophia or Maraïda. I never in my life had a thing to complain about. I wasn't born rich or had wealthy perfect parents. I had to work hard, toil the soil to get to where I am today; but as compared to others, I was highly privileged. My traumatic experiences were limited to overbearing investors."Why hadn't you said something to me about this before?""What? Do you think I would just walk up to you and say 'hey J, I was molested and abused by my own father as a child, so I get weird around men like him and see him in them'?" She clutched the poor pillow harder to her chest; staring blankly into space."I am not like that! Stop it! I made a mistake and that's just it." I told her calmly. But she had a point. Not everything was so easy to just blurt out. But I wanted her to talk to me. To tell me about her suffering

How ever did a simple act of desperation turn into a momentary addiction? then into a life ruining action? I only kissed her to shut her up but it never occurred to me that my actions could be consequential. Her lips were softer than marshmallows, sweeter than candy; she could kiss better than an honour student from a kissing school if ever there was one. Her lips, felt like were built or moulded to fit mine; they worked together perfectly. At first, my inner consciousness was telling me to back off, to respect the line; but curse my body and mind, we wanted more. I already knew she wanted this and I also knew I shouldn't have encouraged it but fucking hell, I didn't care. I dug my tongue into her mouth, craving to taste more of her, wanting her to stop me; but she gave in more of her instead. I should've known better. Because it was like reliving the first night with her all over

Mara's POVI believe fantasies can come true.After the first time, I never again imagined that Jared Shenko and I would ever share the same breath; no matter the circumstance. I knew for one, that after the first time, it could never again happen. Reasons being: I never believed I could feel anything other than emptiness ever again; I witnessed first hand his love for Sophia and hers for him, they were practically perfect together; and he was way older than I was. Apart from that, I thought I had lost the ability to feel any for anyone: I couldn't even feel sorry for myself. Everything was dead to me. But this feelings were revived when Jared touched me.

Jared's POV"Strangely enough, everything is perfectly fine. They're both OK." Dr. Seuss told me, "I say strangely because, with the amount of blood I saw, I wasn't sure she or the baby would make it. I'm not even sure how to explain all this. She doesn't seem to have bled from her vaginal area. But then again I'm only human, I might have made a wrong observation. Bottom line is they're both fine. She'll just need to rest a lot more now.""Honestly Andrew, I just need to know they're both fine. You cannot just imagine the mess I'm deep in right now. I'm just glad they're OK. That takes a weight off my shoulders, and I want to thank.." I was about to throw deepest appreciation out at Dr. Seuss when a nurse ran into the office, looking agitated,"Dr.! It's the patient in 220. She's having a panicked attack again. It's bad.""Maraïda?" I wondered. My heart hammered against my ribcage so hard, the thumping

Maraïda's POVJared didn't lie. He never left me alone. Well except when he went to work, which he had been doing a lot lately. It had been two weeks after we left the hospital. He had moved into my room; not move in literally. He just spent a lot more time in there with me: watching me while I sleep, keeping me company when I am awake. One time we talked about naming the baby.Our baby!"If it's a girl, I want us to call her Jena, Jena Shenko.""Jena?" I cut him off, "That's awfully unusual. Not a lot of people name their children that, It's kind off a rare unique name.""I know. That's why I want to name her that. My mother was called Jena. I would lobe to give her that, name my first girl child after her. But, if it is a boy, I'm thinking Jared.""What? You can't give your son the same surname as you,""And who said I can'

THE BILLIONAIRE'S SURROGATE Alternate ending
(Ten years later) A five years old little girl in pink ballerina getup is dancing and twirling happily in the middle of a huge living room. Her bright blue eyes are filled with excitement as she jumps about. She stops and runs to the foot of a flight of stairs, "Mummy hurry up! I'm going to miss my show if we are late," her little voice yells, "I'm coming, I'm coming! Gosh! You're so feisty today. And it's the school's show not yours," a woman with similar blue eyes walks majestically down the stairs. Her blonde curls are bouncing just above her shoulders. Her slender fingers are grazing the walls as she steadies herself on each step she takes, while her other hand lays steadily on her already huge bump. She's heavily pregnant. "Where are your stuff?" "Already in the car! Now move a little bit faster!" "Is your father already here?"

"What did you do then?""You ask as if you don't already know,""I do! But I still want to hear it,""Alright alright! I'll finish it then.I became so confused. I didn't know what to do. I admitted I wasn't in good terms with Maraïda but I could've never wished her death. I had so much on my hand that I became traumatized: on one hand I had Maraïda; she only needed help, love and care, she still had a good chance in life; On the other hand you, innocent! Knowing nothing about what was happening, just wanting to be out and free. Then there was your father in the air, I didn't know if he was ever waking up. It was hard.

She looks in a hurry; checking on her Gucci watch after every two seconds,"Ellie! Hurry up young lady, we haven't got all day." She keeps staring impatiently at the doors of the flower shop and checking her watch,"Dang it Ellie, come on! We're going to be late for the day. We still have so much to do."A little girl comes out of the shop with a big bouquet of roses obscuring her entire face. Her long blonde hair is dangling from behind her white lace dress paired with a pair of pink flats. Someone follows from behind her with another bunch of flowers, way too big for her hands. The lady in front of the car turns to the little girl, with her blue eyes popping out I surprise,"Ellie! When you said you were getting flowers, I didn
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SURROGATE One last chance
Jared's POVIt all became as clear as day to me when I watched Cassidy's video. I felt like a storm rain had just washed down on me. All this time, Maraïda played me; she made a fool of me, while I sympathized with her sneakiness. I watch with horror as she cut her own self and smudge the blood all over her thighs; as she pretended to scream; as she fake fainted!I was a such a terrible state that day and to think she was just mocking me."Why Maraïda? Why did you do all of this to me? Why did you ruin my life? Why? What did I ever do to you?" She started crying. Her fake tears just made me angrier. I was standing on a bridge between life and death, trying to control my temper, in order not to seriously hurt her."You've been playing me for a fool all this time! I lost everything! I lost my wife because of you!" I yelled harshly at her. She shrieked to a corner of the kitchen, not being able to look at

Maraïda's POVOne phone call had turned into him driving off without even telling me where he was going. I waited for almost four hours in my room. I decided to run down stairs for a glass of water. I was a few feet away from the kitchen entrance when I heard one of the maids talking,"This really sucks. This house was a lot livelier with Madame Sophia around." The first maid said,"Yeah. Everything changed when that woman, that surrogate got here," she wore a disgusted scowl on her face, "Hey, don't talk about miss Maraïda like that. You know she's the new lady of the house now," another maid added,"New lady my foot! That woman is a sneaky bitch! She just wants to replace Madame Sophia in Mr. Shenko's life." The second maid with the scowl repeated,"Cassidy!!!" The head maid, I remember was called Fatou, scolded her, "Stop! What ever happens in our superiors lives is none of

Jared's POVThey were already a good number of questions running through my mind while I drove through the gates of the house. That Joseph guy had set my already disrupted peace of mind in absolute chaos. Maraïda was already eight months in and I wasn't ready for anything or anyone that could jeopardize her health; mentally or physically. My daughter's life mattered more to me than anything. I was not about to jeopardize it for something that might not even matter.I had just pulled up in the driveway when three maids rushed out to take the bags, I helped Maraïda out,"Aren't you coming?" She asked,"Go on ahead, I'll make a call first. Help her in would you?" I motion one of the maids. Once they'd disappeared behind the doors, I brought my phone and a card, tapped on the numbers, he picked

Maraïda's POVJared had become more engaging in everything concerning the baby. We'd taking another maternity visit together, and we were as well shopping together. It was during one the shopping sprees that I had run into Sophia. Jared had stayed back in the shop to complete the payments. I didn't want them to meet each other under any circumstances. I knew for one Jared still loved and wanted Sophia back and also she was likely to take him back because she seemed to love him more than herself. I had witnessed it. I couldn't take such a chance! So by all means possible I had to make her leave; and as fast as possible.I did make her leave. But she had the last word;"...just like you're trying to have my husband. But let me remind you this Maraïda;

Sophia's POVThis particular phase of my life was like a repeated phase. Some kind of déjà vu. The first time I remember like it was yesterday though it's been years; it was when I left Jared, to go away, far away with the pregnancy he wasn't ready for. I was broken, wrecked and utterly disgraced. I felt so embarrassed thinking in was growing feelings for him when he wasn't even an ounce bit interested in me or having a family. I still don't remember how I survived without him, because I became so stressed; extremely stressed that I had to rely on crack. I hated it so much but I went into drinking and drugs: careless of what effect it might have had on me or my baby. Consequently, I had a miscarriage. That was how it went down. I lost my baby! The only one I was ever going to get. Because the cleansing process caused me fertility. My reproductive organs had suffered the highest as the drugs, alcohol and all that burned my womb so bad that the doctors said I was lucky to
