The Billionaire's Surrogacy Rule CHAPTER 1
Daisy's POVShaking my waist to the loud sound of music is what I do to take away the pain and sadness I always feel.But today, shaking my waist, twirling, turning, and shouting aren't solving any of my problems. The pain isn't going away either.I am thinking drinking myself to a stupor will help but nothing is working.Right now, all I feel like doing is letting it all out. Crying it out. Then maybe I will feel better.The moment I stop dancing and turn to find my way to the bathroom, my eyes meet with a guy.This is the same guy who has had his eyes on me for over thirty minutes since I have been doing nothing but dancing to end my sorrows.I am not here for a man. I am here to drink and take my sorrows away and also find somewhere to sleep.My legs almost give me away as I find myself staggering towards the bathroom of the club, ignoring the man with the burning gaze.My eyes burn with hot tears, willing to push their way down my face, to let out the pent-up anger, anguish, and f
The Billionaire's Surrogacy Rule CHAPTER 2
Alexander's POVThat voice. It was a female's voice. It was a woman bawling her eyes out in a male's restroom.But it exuded nothing but pain and agony.The sound of the shower running reminds me of the sound of her crying and I find myself wondering why she would be crying that way in a restroom.It is unhealthy. Who is she anyway? Did she get ditched by her boyfriend and the restroom was the only place to let out her hurt without anyone knowing? Did she catch her boyfriend banging another woman?That must be it! This is a club after all.Waving the thought of the crying woman away, I turn off the shower and get out of the bathroom, in a hurry to get dressed and get to work.I came to the club for a reason. First, because Chase owns the club and, secondly because he insists that I come here to find the person I was looking for.Even though I succumbed to his wish, I still came here with work. I haven't been to New York for years and I am back with a huge load of responsibilities on
The Billionaire's Surrogacy Rule CHAPTER 3
Daisy's POVI am falling off a building but I can't make a sound because my eyes are tightly shut waiting for the impact of the floor and for my head to break into pieces.But I didn't hit my head.A sound eventually comes out of my mouth. Not a scream in fear of death. A wince.This is when I realize my arm hurts. Then, my eyes flutter open to meet reality.I am not in school, not at work, and not on the floor after jumping off a ten-leveled building because I want to give up on living.Where the hell am I? I ask inwardly as I try to stand up from my fall.A pain sips through my arm and my head bangs severely. My gaze shifts to the huge bed and it dawns on me when the memories of last night come rushing back.I fell off this huge bed thinking it was from a building. I didn't sleep on the streets last night because I….I gasp.I saw a stranger. The same man watched me closely at the club last night like a predator watching over its prey."Goodness!" I scramble up and rush towards the
The Billionaire's Surrogacy Rule CHAPTER 4
Alex's POVI watch her debate within her on whether to get in just like I have ordered her to or not. She is biting her lower lip like someone in deep thought in a math class, desperate to find answers to the math solution on the board.She shakes her head and continues to walk."Hey", I call out, my anger rising and my hand balling into a fist. I helped her last night, is this what I get for helping her?The driver moves the car further before I can instruct him to and she stops when the car is beside her.With rage, I shout. "Get into the car now!"She jerks backward, startled by my tone and loud voice.She stares down at me, probably to figure out if I am here for a good reason or if I want to kidnap her and sell her off to some men.Kevin gets down from the car and opens the door for her. I shift to the other side, waiting for her to climb in next to me.It takes a while before she makes up her mind. She nods at herself and gets in, careful not to let her legs touch mine.Kevin cl

Daisy's POVMy jaws are dropped in shock and after a moment of silence between us, without him offering more explanations to the reason for this type of favor, I blink then shut my mouth.Surrogacy?He wants me to carry a baby for him? Why? Why me?Is this the condition for helping me? What about school? How do I manage to carry his baby and going to school?Wait, did I just think of accepting the offer? Why the hell am I thinking of how to cope with carrying a baby and going to school? Is this how desperate I am?Well, you are desperate. You are the true definition of desperate, my subconscious retorts."You don't need to give me a reply immediately", he mentions, pulling me out of my reverie. "I can give you a day to think about it but after a day and I don't hear from you, I guess I will find someone else."He looks so confident and sure of what he is saying. He doesn't look shaken as though he has done this with a woman before.I don't even know what to think. My head is spinning.
The Billionaire's Surrogacy Rule CHAPTER 6
Alex's POVSympathy is all I feel for her. That night at the party and after knowing that she was the one crying in the bathroom, I thought she was about to commit suicide because she had given up on life.Then when she told me about her inability to pay her fees, the sympathy increased ten folds and I knew I needed to help out.I went to the party for a reason. I am not the type who dates women. Not because I don't find them attractive but because I fear attachment.When I was in high school and my father was bankrupt, we had to move from Boston to Los Angeles and from Los Angeles to New York. We almost left America.When we were in Los Angeles, no one knew me as the son of a man who was considered wealthy and whose business was going through a difficult time.I loved the quiet atmosphere of the school I attended and the fact that I wasn't getting any attention but my girlfriend left me before we left BostonShe left because we were going through a hard time with our finances. I no l

Daisy's POVI didn't ask him where he was taking me but I felt safe with him. It is better than allowing Brenda to drive me to her place and allowing her to flaunt her wealth in my face.She came to ask me to get into the car for a reason. She wants to convince me one more time to join her. She wants to mock me for my inability to pay my fees.I don't know how they got to know about my situation. If Julian wasn't a nerd and a good guy, I would have assumed he was responsible.I have cried and cried. I couldn't cry in the classroom where there are thousands of eyes on me so I went to the bathroom to do that.These past few days, the bathroom has been my place of solitude.When we drive into a place I assume is his house, I can't help but stare in awe. It is magnificent."Are you ok?" I hear him ask again for the umpteenth time as he jerks me out of my reverie, my gaze shifting to meet his."Yes, yes!" I chant, swallowing a lump that has gotten stuck in my throat since we arrived.Why d

Alex's POVAn idea stuck with me last night before I eventually fell asleep.Daisy is helpless. I never thought she was going to give me a reply so soon considering how upset she looked when I first presented the offer to her.I was relieved last night after she told me yes.But then, another idea is hitting me hard. An idea that will work in my favor.Daisy is going to be staying in this mansion with me. She is going to be my surrogate and that means asking her to pretend to be my girlfriend won't be a huge and difficult task.It will make my story all the more plausible. What was I thinking of telling my mother after the baby was born? Where would I tell her I got the baby from?Right now, all I need to do is introduce Daisy to them and everything will become easy. When the baby is born and Daisy is nowhere to be found, then I can confidently tell them the truth or probably tell them that Daisy is gone.But for now, I can't bring up the talk of a surrogate because it will never be a

Daisy's POVJust like the exact dream I had when I was sleeping so soundly in Alex's suite, a night after we met at the club, I find myself falling from a high building and I jerk awake in fright.There are sweats all over me which is revealing how long I must have been having that scary dream.Why do I keep having this sort of nightmare?It feels real like it is happening already but I am not falling off any building. I am still laying on my bed, unlike the other time when I fell off the bed.That was probably because I was hungover from the previous night's drink. The eerie silence and the darkness is adding to my fear as I hurriedly sit up in bed, my breathing heavy and my hands trembling in fear.Quickly, my hands find their way to the side drawer and I grab my phone to dial the first number on my contact.Alex.He isn't a heavy sleeper so he is going to know that his phone is ringing, except if his phone is on silent mode.Just before it starts to ring, I feel a sharp pain in my

Alex's POVAfter getting a call from home, I rush out of my office and instruct Kelvin to take me home. When he drives the car out of the company's parking lot, I place a call to the doctor as fear begins to grip me with different questions popping up in my head.Is she in pain? Is that why she is crying? Does it hurt a lot?Did something happen?Agnes picks up the call at the fifth ring. "Hello, Alex."Without beating about the bush, I go straight to the point of my call. "I just got a call from home now. The head maid said Daisy is crying."Silence ensues in contradiction to what I am expecting. I am thinking she will gasp or shout and ask us to come to the hospital immediately."Are you there?" I ask quickly."Yes. Why is she crying?""I have no idea," I shrug as if she can see me. "She hasn't been eating too like you said she would.""Is that why she is crying?""I don't know, Agnes. Do you think she is fine? Should we come to the hospital right away? Will she be ok? You said she
The Billionaire's Surrogacy Rule CHAPTER 19
Daisy's POVI wake up with a yawn and a loud growl in my stomach. My stomach feels empty, way too empty like I have nothing in there and the host inside of me is already feeding off my intestines.Quickly, I scramble out of bed to go see what they have in the kitchen, uncaring about how I look right now.Brenda and some of the girls are already suspecting that I am expecting a baby because of how they stare at me coldly and also share knowing looks between themselves. I am not bothered by any of that if they won't come to ruin what I have here with Alex's parents.When I am gone, they can do and undo whatever, I won't care then because I will be far away from them and from here.As soon as I am done with my final papers, I will have my things packed up to leave New York City and if possible America.I don't want to be reminded of any of these. I don't want to share any bond with the baby as well.I have been careful enough to take this as purely business just like Alex wants it. His a

Alex's POVIt's been a month already and I still haven't gotten used to the idea of having a woman at home, pregnant with no huge appetite like I know of other women.I still haven't been able to get rid of the constant distractions at the office either. I always watch my phone, expecting it to ring at any time.Sometimes, I wonder if I am desperate for some bad news because I focus more on my phone than my work.The doctor said everything is going fine but I still can't help the worry I feel whenever I leave for work in the morning and when I get home at night.Daisy is a strong woman indeed. She tries to hide how she feels most times and there is nothing I can do since she doesn't want me to know where it hurts and where it doesn't.Because I didn't want her to be going back and forth in school because of the stress and the baby, I employed a driver for her. He takes her to school and back from school. Whenever she wants to visit my Mother while I am at work, he takes her there too.
The Billionaire's Surrogacy Rule CHAPTER 17
Daisy's POVFeeling much better than I felt this morning, I take a shower and also wash my hair.With a towel on my head drying out the liquid and another white towel around my bosom, I walk out of the bathroom, my flip-flop making a flip-flip sound as I walk to the dresser.Watching myself in the mirror, the memories of what happened this morning come rushing; how I threw up everything I ate last night and how I couldn't eat much, probably because I had no appetite or because it was Alex feeding me and it felt so uncomfortable.I would have gone for the latter but since he left, I haven't had any other thing except doughnuts.I love them. And there are many of them here. In the kitchen.I ate two with orange juice before going back to bed. When I woke up, I felt better, which was the reason why I decided to take a bath before Alex comes back home.I don't want him to be worried about me or the baby. By the time he is back, I will be my normal self and he will have no cause for alarm.
The Billionaire's Surrogacy Rule CHAPTER 16
Alex's POVDistraction is something that rarely happens to me whenever I am at work. I am always focused on work because it is important and this is my life but today, I am a little distracted because another part of my life is at home.I am troubled about Daisy and the baby. The doctor said they are fine and we can come back next time for an ultrasound.Daisy has been really weak since she threw up this morning and I almost skipped work because of that. I am deeply don'tied about her and I wonder why she is feeling this way even after the doctor announced that she is healthy enough to carry the baby.I still can't believe that puke was normal. How can someone throw up that much and still not have any appetite to eat?Pushing the paper in front of me away and dropping my pen, I pick up my phone and dial Natasha's number.It rings and she picks on the second ring."Hi, Natasha", I say into the phone, leaning backward on the chair. This is the only thing that can make me concentrate. At
The Billionaire's Surrogacy Rule CHAPTER 15
Daisy's POVMy eyes flutter open as a wave of dizziness and nausea sweeps through me.Just then, a soft knock comes to the door.Now I don't know if I woke up because of nausea or because of the knock. Before I can open my mouth to answer the door, it hits me again, making me scramble out of bed and head for the bathroom with my hands over my mouth.Just before I get to the toilet seat, I lose my strength and puke on the floor. Quickly, I open the toilet seat and puke into it.A growl escapes my mouth as I puke with all my strength.Trying to avoid staining my silk nightwear, I move closer till I have no strength anymore."Daisy?" Someone calls out from behind and I recognize the voice to be Alex. "Dammit, what happened?"I can't answer him. My eyes are closed and my head is still hanging down in exhaustion.Alex raises my head and splashes water from a bowl on my face. "Are you ok?"I can't talk.He continues to splash water on my body, making me feel cold all of a sudden. Maybe I t

Ryan's POVIt is 3 pm. Kelvin is driving me to Daisy's school and I am going through some paper works at the back of the car in silence.I don't know how long it will take us at the hospital considering the time of the appointment which is why I came along with them. There are important and I need to finish up with them before tomorrow morning.When we get to the hospital, I will keep them aside till we get home. If we leave the hospital early, then I will go back to the office to round up.Wondering what type of clothes Daisy must be wearing today, my attention becomes divided.I look up to see that Kelvin is slowing down in front of the campus gate. Students are trooping out already and I quickly drop the paper in my hand so I can give her a call.It rings. But there is no answer.I dial the number again and it rings for a while before going to voicemail.I told her to always keep her phone beside her, especially when I want to come to pick her up from school. How will I find her
The Billionaire's Surrogacy Rule CHAPTER 13
Daisy's POVThe ride back home is in extreme silence. I wish he would just answer my question and break the awkward silence but he is bent on keeping silent and keeping me in the dark for as long as he wants.This is unfair on my part. Extremely unfair.I am scared. Meeting with his lovely parents and seeing how much they love me already isn't doing any good to put a stop to my fears.His silence is only adding to it.He lied. On my behalf. We didn't discuss this. I might be the one at the receiving end and also the one to benefit most from this deal but I deserve to know certain things such as this.Why did he lie? Why didn't he inform me beforehand that he was going to lie to his mother about my real identity?What if they find out, how will I defend myself? Will they continue liking me even if they find out everything was lies?I sigh heavily and look out of the window as the car enters through the gate into his mansion. Everywhere is silent already and I can't wait to get into
