The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate The plan for Emma
“You have nothing to worry about, Emma. I will make sure nothing happens to your marriage.” Anna promised with a reassuring smile. Deep down, she knew she wasn’t going to make any effort to help save their marriage.How could she when it was exactly what she wanted?She needed Emma out of Jacob’s life for her plan to work and thanks to Jacob’s foolishness, things were working in her favor.“I will do my best to talk to Jacob but, I think it will be better not to worry about him or his family. It’s not like you’re in love with him, you just need him for your family’s safety,” Anna added after a while and Emma’s head shot up.Seeing that she now had her attention, Anna decided to fuel up things.“Listen, Emma, you might think him divorcing you is a bad thing but, I think it’s the best. Thankfully, you didn’t bring it up so, you have nothing to lose in case the divorce happens.” Anna explained but Emma was worried about other things.“I can’t allow that, Anna. My family needs the Wades.

“If you don’t mind me asking, Anna. Why are you helping me? What’s in it for you?” Emma inquired with a suspicious look.She couldn't understand why Anna would be so enthusiastic about helping her. What even shocked her was that Anna already had a perfect plan laid out.Surely, she wasn't so smart to have come up with those ideas on the spot.The corners of Anna’s mouth twitched and her brows creased. It wasn’t't a question she expected and more especially, from Emma. She wasn't going to reveal the truth about her relationship with the Wades to Emma just yet so, she had to rake her head for a lie.“I sympathize with you, Emma.” The words rolled off her lips easily and her demeanor matched her tone, making it hard for Emma to not believe her.When Anna saw that she had Emma's attention, she continued. “I already had my suspicions about your marriage during my short visit to the Wade mansion. I could sense that you were not being treated properly.” Anna paused to lower her head and act

“Are you attracted to me, Miss Wellington?” Nathan asked with both his brows raised in curiosity. “What?” Shayne’s voice came out louder and her tone was harsher than intended. She was sure it looked like she was being defensive but, there was no way she was letting a claim about her being attracted to a Wade go unanswered. “Not, Mr Wade. I don’t know about you but, I do not mix business with pleasure and I certainly have no plans of liking a Wade. I’d rather die than do that.” She finished strongly, her gaze on him showing how much she meant what she said. As Shayne finished her last sentence, she was hurt flash through Nathan’s eyes and he did not attempt to hide it. She was sure it had to be something. There was no way he was feeling bad because of her statement. It wasn’t as if he even had romantic feelings for her. Right? Right? A few seconds later, Shayne saw Nathan’s eyes darken and before she could register what was going on, she was being dragged to God-knows-where, and

“Have you gone mad, Emma?” Garcia challenged with wide eyes. Her body shook with anger and all she wanted to do was pounce on Emma who had suddenly forgotten her manners at whatever place she was just returning from.With a smirk plastered to her face, Emma raised a brow and laughed hysterically. “I expected that.” She said, nodding like a maniac.“What?” She scoffed when she saw the look of horror on Garcia’s face. “Why do you look shocked? I have always been this way. Why is it suddenly a surprise to you?” Emma added.It was true that she had always had a sharp mouth, it she always apologized after a few seconds and returned to her senses. Garcia could sense that things were different this time around. Five minutes had passed and no word of regret had left her lips.As Garcia opened her lips to reply, she saw the door to the living room open and her son, Jacob walked in, still clad in his suit.“Ahh!” She screamed dramatically and fell to the ground, holding her cheek like she had j

After she met with Emma, Anna returned to the Wades Estate building to finish up with the work she had for the day. As she walked into her office, her secretary, Samantha followed behind her with a tired look.“Good day, Mrs Reyes.” She greeted and waited for Anna to settle down before starting with her questions.“Good day to you too, Samantha. I know, I know. I have a lot of work to attend to, don’t I?” Anna teased with a playful wink and Samantha resisted the urge to frown.“Forgive me for asking, ma’am but, where have you been?” Samantha questioned.“I had a meeting outside work, Samantha. You don’t need to look at me like that. It was a personal matter that needed to be handled immediately.” Anna defended with a straight face.“Tell me, Samantha, did something happen while I was away?” She asked and Samantha shook her head.“Mr Reyes almost had my head while looking for you. He tried calling you several times but you never picked up. I thought I was going to lose my job, Ma’am.”

After the awkward encounter with Nathan, Shayne found it hard to concentrate on anything. No matter how much she tried, she could still feel his hot breath fanning her face and his deep voice confessing to wanting her. Shayne had even forgotten how she got out of that situation as she didn’t think it would be possible. “Miss Wellington, is everything okay?” A voice brought her back to reality and when she looked up, it was none other but the devil himself, smiling at her with an innocent look on his face. Shayne wondered how he was able to act so normal around her after what had just happened. ‘Does he have multiple personalities?’ She thought, staring at him closely. “Are you with us, Miss Wellington?” She heard him ask again and just as she was about to respond harshly, she finally became aware of her surroundings. Other than Nathan, there were others in the room, and by others, it was Jacqueline and about ten other new people. She would have embarrassed herself if she had given

Tristan and Anna sat in the backseat of Tristan’s BMW, the thick silence between them almost suffocating then. After the awkward incident at the office, Tristan found it hard to speak to Anna. He couldn’t believe that he acted in such a manner. Moving his head slowly, Tristan stole a glance at Anna, her face slightly turned towards the window.‘She’s probably wondering what has come over me.’ Tristan thought, replaying the scene from his office in his mind. He was known to be calm, never letting his thoughts be known to others but, he had acted boldly, almost recklessly in front of everyone at the office.That wasn’t like him.Tristan wondered why he acted in such a manner. It wasn’t like anything bad had happened to Anna. Just the news of her whereabouts not being known scared him to death and the thought of her being with her ex, Jacob infuriated him more than losing a billion-dollar contract would.‘What the fuck is wrong with you, Tristan? Why can’t you control yourself when it c

“I do, Father. I also have the perfect woman for this family and, even better, a perfect mother for Rowan.” Jacob said, grinning from ear to ear. William’s eyebrows lifted in surprise as he heard his son. “I see you have already found a replacement for her.” He said he was still not fully convinced of Jacob’s plan. If it were Nathan standing before him with an idea, he would have immediately agreed and even pulled out resources to help him achieve his goal, but, this was Jacob and Jacob wasn’t as smart as Nathan. Not that he was foolish, but he acted rashly at times and wasn’t always lucky, as his rash acts always blew back in his face. “I have been preparing for this for a while. Emma wouldn’t see it coming and by the time she realized what was happening, it would be too late to do anything because I would be throwing her things out already and making room for my new wife.” Jacob replied confidently, and William suddenly asked about this new wife he was blabbing about.

The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate Hidden Truth
“Come, let’s go to my room. We should be careful, even in my house.” Anna said and led Emma to a guest room in the house.Even though she was now working with Emma to bring down the Wades, she wasn’t going to trust her fully as there was still a chance Emma might want to betray her. The only people Anna could fully trust were her sister and Tristan.She still had to be careful with others even though they seemed nice.“There’s a lot in here, Anna. William has more secrets than we thought.” Emma said as she placed the bag on the bed once they were inside the cozy room.“Show me.” Anna requested eagerly and Emma nodded as she started pulling out the items she had stolen from William’s secret room.“I didn’t even have enough time to go through them because of how many they are.” Emma shook her head and handed Anna a stack of files she had compiled.“I have gone through these though….they are terrible. I cannot believe he is respected in this country. Once this leaks, he will definitely b
The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate Caught!
“Someone was in here!” William said angrily and stormed into the living room, his face twisted in rage. He didn’t want to cause a scene because there were secrets hidden in that room that no one was to ever find out and if Jacob or Garcia saw him getting so worked up about someone going into his room, they would wonder what was in it that he wanted to hide so badly. So, he called one of the maids and had her call the others to his study.“Get everyone to my study, now!” He yelled at the young maid who immediately scurried off to grab the other staff.The maids scattered at the entrance of his study, unsure of the source of his anger as they sensed trouble on the way.“Which one of you came into my study?!” He barked, his voice echoing through the four walls of the study.The maids exchanged confused glances as they silently questioned each other. Tracy, one of the older maids decided to speak up and save everyone from William’s wrath.“Pardon me, sir, but, none of us came into this fl
The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate A successful mission
“Emma?” An overly familiar voice called out and Emma froze. When she looked up, she found William standing beside his son, Jacob. They both stared at her with suspicion as she never frequented the area unless she was being called.“What are you doing here?” William asked, narrowing his eyes at her Emma’s heart pounded harshly against her chest and her mind raced, searching for a lie to get her out of the situation she was in.“I…I..uh.. the thing is…” She stammered but couldn’t form any coherent sentence.“What are you doing in this hallway, Emma? You know it belongs to Father and I don’t think you were sent by anyone so what the fuck are you doing here?” Jacob yelled, his gaze sharp and full of suspicion.Emma knew that she had to say something fast if she didn’t want them to throw her out right there so, she said the first thing that entered her head.“I was looking for you, Jacob. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find you so I decided to come here since I know you visit here freq
The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate Unveiled Secrets
Emma stared at the now-revealed door with her jaw on the ground. Her pulse quickened and her feet trembled but, she was determined to uncover whatever secret was hidden behind the door so, she stepped in. There was a dark hallway, the only source of light being a dim light which was at the end of the hallway. She finally reached the end of the hallway and a door came into view. Emma said a small prayer before reaching for the doorknob and to her surprise, it wasn’t locked. Her heart thundered in her chest as the door creaked open, revealing a small, dimly lit room. It was almost like a private lounge with leather couches, a glass coffee table, and a running air conditioner. The air in the secret room was cold with a faint scent of cigarettes. This meant that the room wasn’t abandoned. If anything, it was still very much in use. But she wasn’t there to gaze at the mysterious room so, she blinked and readied herself. “Alright, Emma.” She whispered to herself in a barely audible voi
The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate A secret to unveil
THE WADE MANSIONEmma sat on her king-sized bed, her mind filled with various thoughts. With her family’s name on the decline and her father on the verge of imprisonment for money laundering, she had lost all the modeling projects she was handling and had received cancellation emails from other brands that wanted to work with her.Her life was falling apart and there was nothing she could do.The last few days had been hard for her as she could feel the tension in the Wade mansion. She knew that something big was about to happen. She could feel it.Jacob’s attitude had become worse and even his parents were no longer on her side. Not that they were ever on her side.Her only option was Anna, the only person who had offered to help her. She understood that if she wanted to save her family and herself, she had to listen to Anna. There was no time to be suspicious of her.A knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts. Garcia opened the door and walked in, a false smile on her face.
The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate A Weaklink
“I have made the necessary preparation. I will be divorcing Emma next week after the party to make room for you in my life.”Anna stared at Jacob with her eyes wide open and her jaw almost on the ground, the weight of his words hanging in the air.She knew he was a fool who didn't think before acting but this…this was unexpected. She could tell from his expression that he had not sat down to think things through properly. If he had, he wouldn't have been so eager to go through with the divorce. Any sane person would be suspicious of their ex-girlfriend who they treated badly suddenly coming back into their lives and acting like everything was great between them.“Are you being serious right now, Jacob?” Anna asked, her voice steady but the shock in her eyes remained. “On what grounds are you asking for a divorce? I don't think Emma has done anything bad enough to warrant a divorce.” Anna said, pretending to care about his marriage.“We aren't a real couple, Anna. Getting a divorce wou
The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate Making room for Anna
“You are openly seducing the CEO to keep your job because you are talentless.”A surge of irritation rose within Shayne but, she maintained her composure. The last thing she was going to do was stoop to their level and exchange words with them. So, with a smile on her face, she held her head eye and walked to them.“I don't have to seduce him, my darling. He's the one swooning over me. Too bad no one has noticed you….either of you. You seem like the talentless one to me.” She mocked, leaving them with their jaws on the floor.“Now, If you'd excuse me. This talentless person has a shoot to do. There's no time for me to be lazying around doing nothing. I'll give you some advice; you should change this nasty character of yours. Maybe then you'd stop being an MIT.” Shayne said to both of them, referring to them as a Model-In-Training.Before any of them could give her a response, the door opened to reveal her manager who informed her that her shoot begins in ten minutes. She turned and gr
The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate Getting to know a Wade
“Since your morning schedule has been cleared out, you will be spending the rest of the morning with me.”Shayne blinked, completely caught off guard by his bluntness. She had known for a long time that the man was bold but, this was…unexpected.“Let me take you to a restaurant for a light snack. I know you already had breakfast so we won’t be ordering anything heavy. I know models don’t eat much.” He said, gesturing for her to join him. “We’ll only be out for an hour or two. You have nothing to be worried about.”Shayne stared at him with her lips parted. She couldn’t believe his guts. She wondered if this was how all rich men behaved.Shayne opened her mouth to speak, ready to decline his offer and walk out of his office but, she immediately had a second thought. It was just breakfast and it was going to be in an open space. There was no way anything would happen.‘Having a little snack with him wouldn’t hurt.’ She thought. Besides, she had only taken a cup of coffee before leaving
The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate An Abuse of Power
“You’re getting this wrong, Shayne. I didn’t do this. Mr Wade did it himself. He cleared out your schedule.”Her mouth parted slightly, both intrigued and annoyed. “Nathan did this? Why?”“I have no idea, Shayne. But, hey! You have a lot of free time. I think it’s a win.” Luca shrugged and flashed her a wink before he walked out of the dressing room.As soon as he left, Shayne grabbed her purse from the table and marched to the last floor. She wanted to hear from Nathan himself why he cleared her schedule.Shayne got off the elevator and searched for Nathan’s office. She asked one of the workers on the floor who directed her to his office.“Can I help you?” A blonde who seemed to be in her early twenties stopped her before she could enter the office.“And you are?” Shayne asked in an impatient tone, her face twisted in annoyance.“Mr Wade’s secretary. Is there a problem?” The blonde asked with a scowl on her face. Upon hearing that the lady was Nathan’s secretary who was only doing he
