Livia Washington’s Point of View

Hearing the court’s decision made Ajax smirked as if he won a lottery. He glanced at me with full territoriality in his eyes as if I am now his and couldn't escape from his tight grip. By the time I heard the news, Ajax told me how much he loves me and I couldn’t imagine how happy I am now that I am already free from him.

As time goes by, Andre, Ajax and I often hang out. Andre loves me a lot and frequently seeks for me as if I am his girlfriend and not his father’s.

“Hey,” Ajax muttered in a worried and at the same time tired manner.

He seemed weary and sweat fell down his forehead. There are signs of frustrations and tiredness in his face after countering a lot of company problems and handling all of them at the same time. As his secretary, I also do my job and help him but between us, Ajax has the one who has almost the burden.

In a gradual movement, Ajax held my waist and pulled me closer to him a little more. He then kissed my shoulders a

  • The Billionaire's Hired Surrogate    Chapter 77: His Toy, Slime and Functions

    Livia Washington's Point of ViewI was holding Andre's hand on our way to the conference room where his father was. It was occupied by some of his business partners and as far as I remember, he told me to take Andre in his office yet he doesn't want to be there so I took him with me. I saw how Ajax glanced at us when we entered the door. Some of them drifted their eyes on me especially when I came inside along with Andre in my hands. "Stay quiet baby, okay?" I told him using my low baritone voice. Andre sat down on his father's table behind whilst I finally got the papers one of his employees had given to me. Andre nodded his head and seemed to behave when I told him to sit down. I thought that I no longer had to work but when I was served with stockpiles of papers, I knew I was going to overtime with him again. Whilst reviewing all the files as my other ears was on the reporter in front, I couldn't help not to question whatever she was saying not until my peripheral vision saw An

  • The Billionaire's Hired Surrogate    Chapter 78: Worry

    Livia Washington's Point of ViewWe walked side by side, our footsteps echoing in the quiet night as we made our way back to our shared abode. As I trailed behind, I couldn't help but admire the striking duo of Ajax and his son. They exuded an undeniable aura of togetherness that was simply captivating. As you observe, Ajax's son is a spitting image of him and Andre is following in his father's footsteps. As I strolled alongside them, I couldn't help but notice the uncanny resemblance in the way they both moved their feet. Andre's eyes darted to the woman who had just bowed before Ajax, imitating his father's every move. As Ajax returned the gesture of respect, Andre followed accordingly, his body language a perfect reflection of his father's. My lower lip was clenched tightly between my teeth as we finally made our way into his car. Ajax's car is leading the way, with his nanny and another vehicle following closely behind. Andre's personal bodyguard is also trailing behind them. “S

    Livia Washington's Point of View As our conversation drew to a close, I found myself grappling with a flurry of thoughts and emotions. Despite my reservations, I ultimately acquiesced and committed to staying with them. I couldn't help but observe that Andre is a remarkably intelligent young person. At just four or five years old, he fearlessly speaks his mind, unafraid to share his thoughts and feelings with anyone who will listen. His young mind is already capable of comprehending the world around him, soaking up knowledge and understanding with ease. My clothes are hanging in his closet, and I'm currently wearing them. At times, I find myself dozing off in this very spot, at his beck and call, unable to break free from his grasp. However, more often than not, I resist his pull and decided to stay. Ajax stood by my side at that moment. He sat hunched over his desk, his glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. His gray shirt hung loosely on his frame, paired with board shorts t

  • The Billionaire's Hired Surrogate    Chapter 80: Longing For His Mom

    Livia’s Point of View Everytime I look at Andre, all I can see was a light that became a sun to make the path bright for me. I was holding his hands whilst we’re together entering the grocery’s store. He told me he wanted to come right after I picked him up from school due to her nanny’s absence. Although he has bodyguards to be with him, I volunteered to do it myself because I am feeling everything today. The panty has nothing left and I am afraid that my two babies have nothing to eat and unexpected natural events may arise so instead of just sitting back, I decided to do some groceries whilst his father was out. Honestly, Ajax has been dismissing me early these days due to an unknown reason. He’s a very busy person and he needs me 24/7 but he kept half of his work under control. He may have someone who’s helping him but in my case, I felt a little guilty and thinks that I should stay even if he insisted on doing it himself. It’s my job and he’s paying me for it. I really thi

  • The Billionaire's Hired Surrogate    Chapter 81: Believing Your Intuition or…?

    Livia's Point of View Andre and I continued to shop and managed to sway his attention off to what he sees. I bought him a small cupcake at the Dunkin Donuts store right inside the grocery which made him honestly happy. His guards are with us and were the one who's pushing the cart whilst the one we bought was still on it. We were about to leave the grocery store when my phone rang. Seeing Janice's number flashed into my phone's home screen made my eyes widened. We haven't seen each other for a while and having a miracle today made me shocked. "Janice!" I exclaimed when I answered the call. Janice chuckled behind the phone call. "Hey!" She greeted. "How are you? Are you free today? We should catch up!" "Hmmm…" My mind was processing whether to agree or not. I glanced behind and then at the kid I am holding. Janice hasn't seen Andre yet and for sure, he will be glad to see him. Janice is also into kids. I seized for a moment, thinking whether to agree or not until I heard Andre's

  • The Billionaire's Hired Surrogate    Chapter 82: Past Wife

    Livia’s Point of View Maybe after all these doubts and cloud of thoughts in my mind, I should’ve followed what Janice had told me. It has been bugging me for the entire week and I couldn't really work. I bit my lower lip whilst looking at the couple of papers right in front of my desk. Earlier in the office, I couldn't function as I always do. That day, I went up to my bed at my apartment and got my laptop, eager to find things out about him and his wife. Each letter I type makes my heart pound and my stomach churns. I entirely forgot the things I should work on and completely swayed my attention away. "Okay. Let's see what we got here…" I muttered whilst scrolling down through the internet. I typed Ajax's full name on the search bar but only limited personal cases about him showed up. There are family pictures posted on the internet but his mom and Andre were only there. On the other hand, a few more suggested search bar showed up but none of those caught my attention. I've

  • The Billionaire's Hired Surrogate    Chapter 83: Unknown Website

    Livia's Point of ViewSince I couldn't get further information about them, it is when I decided to remain at their table overtime. However, I was about to stand up when one of them spoke, which made me seized and had my ears completely at their conversation. "I heard that our boss married the heiress of one of their business partners back then. Do you think it is true?" one of the employees said. "Well, my uncle worked here back then and he is part of Mr. Steel's team." He said. Everyone seemed not shocked. "That's the gossip I heard but no businessman has been mentioned nor a serious and potential girl but at the time the news has been circulating on the internet, only one family has been involved…" I was alerted when he said that. It is when I confidently excused myself to Rue and the others before going back. Currently, Ajax is in a meeting. I looked at my wrist watch and he will come back anytime soon so I should head back above. Luckily, he wasn't there yet. I am ready to wor

  • The Billionaire's Hired Surrogate    Chapter 84: What’s Inside The Document?

    Livia's Point of ViewOver the course of the last few days, I have frequently found myself in the company of Ajax, but he has stayed mute and has maintained his distance from me. He doesn't speak a word unless I ask him a question or until I approach him first and start a discussion with him. I had always assumed that his overbooked agenda was the cause of his unavailability, but it turns out that he wasn't always like this. If everyone's attention is focused on him, it's quite possible that he's trying to keep a secret thought to himself that he doesn't want to share. In spite of my skepticism, I persuaded myself that he must be overburdened with a flurry of important duties and struggling with the impact of the recent social media problems that have afflicted our company. I told myself that this would explain his absence. "Tell me, which one makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Which do you think would be more appealing to you: the robust aroma and flavor of coffee, or the co

    Third Person's Point of View"Are you seriously telling me that now, Ajax? When the event start any moment from now?!" I blurted out as he was behind Livia, caressing her small waist and lifting the dress she was wearing. "Just a quick fuck, please. Just a quick one." Ajax couldn't stop himself from claiming Livia again. Today, the christening of their baby will going to happen and anytime soon, the visitors will arrive one by one especially when everything was settled yet she was cornered inside their room and he was asking for a good fuck. In just a span of a few minutes, Livia already got wet. Her hands are on the table while in front of them is a mirror. Livia could see their reflection on it, especially Ajax's broad shoulders. He was staring at her straight in the eyes through their reflection, and each push and pull Ajax made Livia moan. "Careful, baby! My dress might get torn!" Livia asserted, trying to remove Ajax's hands on her chest. It was a limited edition dress from

    Livia’s Point of View ***MONTHS LATER***The whole baby section was filled with women finding better and cute clothes for their a month old baby and above. Anyhow, my eyes set on all the things that I bought at the shop where Steffany and I went to. Samantha and I already gave birth but she was busy with her child. I gave her an invitation to shop with me along with Janice but she couldn’t since her due date is near. It was when Steffany and I were the only ones who shopped whilst Ajax’s mom, Aunt Andrea, is the one who’s looking out to our kids. “That would be $2,789 in total, ma’am.” The cashier asserted. “Here.”“I received $3,000.”Paying everything using my own money was beyond my expectation. I used all of it to buy my children’s needs when Ajax was giving me a monthly budget but I didn’t spend most of it. Instead, I stock it for Andre’s studies as he will begin his grade school where Ajax graduated. Steffany and I have gotten close. Andre doesn’t even want to let her go but

  • The Billionaire's Hired Surrogate    Chapter 103: Family

    Livia’s Point of View “I can do it!” I asserted whilst taking the plate to the sink. Ajax groaned. It was when his eyes shut directly at the maids who were in the dining area. “What’s the purpose of having a lot of mates when I’m paying them well but you’re doing household chores? Damn it!” he exclaimed before combing his hair using his fingers. I rolled my eyes, didn’t let him do whatever he wanted but instead, I went overboard and then halted him. “Now you’re cursing at me, huh?”His expressions melted. It was when he tried to reach for my elbows but to my anger, I gave him the plate I was holding forcefully whilst our family were watching us together. I was mad at Ajax! “Fine, do it yourself then! Curse at me again and I’ll throw you out of this penthouse!” I irritatedly asserted. “That’s not what I meant! I’m not cursing at you!” My eyes widened hearing the tone of his voice. Now, I can’t imagine he’s shouting at me. My jaw dropped as a couple of silence surpassed us both wh

    Ajax’s Point of View “Where are they?” I consulted my friend, Caspian, who was in charge and had his men behind us. The warehouse was dark, but we could see some men around it and seeing that there was only a light on the second floor made me clench my jaw. Before we came here, we made sure that we had a plan beforehand. Otherwise, we’ll get screwed and I can’t risk Livia getting into trouble and severe conditions. “It seems like they are on that spot.” I heard one of them say, “Move quietly.” the leader of this operation stated. Our initial plan was to come inside but let a spy go first to see what’s the condition. Archer was also here, along with the man he brought that literally came from the army. I don’t even know why the fuck I approved of him meddling with this thing when I can handle it myself. However, I just let him be because I could sense his sincerity as long as he wouldn’t execute something that might irritate me. “Use this, Ajax.” Caspian said, giving me the bullet

    Archer’s Point of View My blood boils. I was raging in anger seeing the man across me was Archer. He has been on my sight for the past few weeks and frequently joins meetings where I was also there.The moment that the meeting ended, many people started to leave until it was only between Archer and I inside the conference room. I was about to leave when Rue hurriedly came inside the conference room. "Ready the car. We'll go somewhere else." I stated whilst looking coldly at him. "You can't leave, sir. We received very devastating news," he muttered with such worry in her eyes. "Livia disappeared. It was seen in the CCTV that she was kidnapped and the driver was their ally. It seems like Gianna was a spy and we didn't know she would attack us like this!" My jaw dropped. Everything about me crashed knowing Livia vanished. Archer and I couldn't believe that he wanted to conduct an investigation and told me to wait but I didn't wait so I opposed him. Livia is my woman. She's the love

    Livia’s Point of View My body was not in its best condition the moment I moved. I feel dizzy… my body was sore as I couldn’t move from where I was. Slowly opening my eyes was the horrific thing I did after the blur vision was set aside. Terrifying feelings crept within my body. Realizing I was inside a cell sent goosebumps seeing the location where I currently was being imprisoned is for those evil who deserve to be here. My feet and my hands were tied whilst the floor was creeping cold to touch my bareback. I took every chance I had to stand up, ogling at every corner I am with and finally seeing a shadow of a woman made me burst in anger. “Take her out.” Her cold gestures made each man from nowhere open the cell where I was. The smell of the place stinks as if I was in a warehouse that was full of dead rats. Gianna showed up in the dark, bearing heavy make up whilst polished well with her not so short elegant dress. Her hair was tied up, whilst she had dark eyeshadows on her e

    Livia’s Point of View Staying at home is the most boring thing I’ve ever done for weeks now but at least, it'll make us safe and sound after the countless death threats Gianna is giving me. We know it came from her. The death threats are horrifying especially when I'll just wake up one day to find that there was a box outside the penthouse with a dead rat on it. Horrifying, isn't it? Ajax and I became extra careful especially when it comes to our son, Andre. After Ajax and I fixed our family, he told me to move in completely with him. Andre was happy, he was also pressuring Ajax and me to give him another sibling which makes my cheeks burn each time he says that. Ajax told me everything I should know. He apologized to those days that he was absent whilst I cried myself to sleep thinking about us. I had no choice, I couldn’t get in touch with him and Ajax wouldn't answer his phone. I overthink a lot… but all of the pain I felt has been switched into something more beautiful. “Are

    Livia’s Point of ViewI was left dumbfounded whilst Ajax was in front of me. I tried my best to cast my emotions away but I couldn’t. I missed him… I longed for his touch and the kisses we shared together. Looking straight at his eyes makes everything deep inside me to throbb. How many days have we not seen each other? Five days? A week? Two? Damn. “I want to a-apologize first.” I muttered solemnly. “It's not my intention to keep everything to you. I was just waiting for the right time. But if you are really mad, I understand and I have no intention of complaining. Of course, you have the right to know everything. After all, I lied to you despite knowing the truth…" I muttered whilst playing with my fingers. God knows how nervous I am right now. This conversation seemed to be in demand, and both of us really need to talk about this otherwise, we'd lose everything that we both built. Ajax wasn't speaking. He was just letting me squeal my sentiments whilst we're inside our son's priva

    Livia’s Point of View I rushed to the hospital without even drinking, eating or even washing my face. I wanted to get angry knowing neither Gianna and Ajax were there for Andre and thinking that Ajax wasn’t there makes me pissed. Andre was rushed to the hospital but Ajax didn’t even go there for his child. His nanny, Steffany, told me that Ajax wasn't answering her call and didn’t even go home last night. “Really? What about Gianna? She's a very irresponsible mother! She should be with Andre 24/7 knowing she was his mother!” I said whilst my blood was boiling. Andre was sleeping in his bed when I came here. Steffany was worried about Andre. He was sick, he caught coughs and colds waiting for his father to come home but he ended up getting a fever. I was beyond pissed when I thought of Gianna who wasn't doing anything just to be here. It was when my hand drifted to his arms that has bruises on it. My jaw clenched seeing that part of his arms and foot were turning purple whilst som
