The Billionaire's Surrogate Wife Chapter 13
Arianna was indeed born an orphan. Throughout her life, she never dared to dream of anything too high or peculiar.Since the beginning, Arianna only hoped to have a good job with a decent salary, enough to support and dedicate her entire life to fulfilling the needs of the orphanage as a form of gratitude.Arianna was certain that without the presence of Mother Laila, she wouldn't be where she is today. Her foster mother struggled tirelessly to educate her, enabling her to pursue higher education up to the college level. Even upon graduating, Arianna landed a good job as an HRD staff at a prestigious company like PAsific Palace.In the past, Arianna thought her life would go smoothly without any obstacles. For a few years, everything, be it personal matters or work, went very smoothly.Until recently, when she got a promotion. Arianna thought her life would get even better in the future. However, this assumption did not prove true this time.It seemed like fate wanted to play games wi

Ariana, what are you daydreaming about? Those grilled ribs on your plate will get cold if you keep neglecting them.Chacha and Arianna are currently enjoying lunch at one of the cafeterias in the PAsific Palace building complex. Earlier, Arianna had invited Chacha to lunch because there was something she wanted to discuss.However, once in the cafeteria, Arianna remained silent. Judging by her face, it seemed like something heavy was on her mind. Even when the ordered food arrived and was served on the table, she didn't touch a single spoon. This caught Chacha's attention and puzzled her."If you brought me here just to watch you daydream, I might as well go back to the office," Chacha protested.But, seemingly ignoring what her friend said, Arianna remained unmoved. Chacha, who was initially patient, gradually became annoyed and frustrated watching her friend's behavior."ARIANNA!"The call was a bit loud, making Arianna finally respond and turn towards Chacha. Wearing a lazy express

Usually, Samuel only drops off or picks up Arianna by the roadside. However, this time, the man parked his car right in front of the orphanage's courtyard, as if it were his last visit.Certainly, it wasn't easy for him to park there. They had a brief debate as Arianna objected, insisting that Samuel should just stay in the car and not bother visiting the orphanage where she lived."Why bother getting out? It's better if you just go straight home," Arianna objected, even though she was already preparing to exit the car. But seeing Samuel's determination to accompany her, she immediately blocked his way."Why does it matter if I come down? Is there a problem? Besides, I want to meet Mrs. Laila and provide information about my extended family's plan to visit for an engagement," Samuel explained.Arianna sighed. Why was it so difficult to make Samuel understand? She certainly had her reasons for refusing her boss to visit the orphanage, where she had been living.The last time he came to

Two days after the dinner event, Samuel and both of her parents kept their promise by going to the orphanage to propose to Arianna. All the proceedings were done just like any ordinary engagement.Some close neighbors were even invited, with the goal of putting an end to any rumors circulating about Samuel's frequent visits to the orphanage lately.On that night, Arianna looked stunning in the white kebaya that Samuel had specially prepared for her. Even for a pretend fiancee, the man with narrow eyes didn't hesitate to give a ring and diamond jewelry to his future wife. Samuel did all of this with total commitment, as if they were a couple genuinely in love."As agreed upon, the wedding party will take place in two weeks in Bali. All preparations, from the venue, wedding dress, accessories, to Arianna's family accommodation, will be handled by us. Madam Laila, stay healthy, so you'll be fit when the time comes."Arabella, with a radiant smile, engaged Laila in conversation. Even thou

"ARIANNA!"The call echoed loudly as Arianna had just set foot in the lobby of PAsific Palace. When she turned, the slender woman found Chacha rushing towards her with slightly labored breath.Instantly, Arianna was puzzled, wondering why Chacha was running towards her so early in the morning. Was there something urgent, or perhaps a deadline that her friend needed to convey immediately?"What's going on? Why are you running like that?" Arianna asked, bewildered."Where have you been? Why did you just arrive this late in the morning? I've been looking for you everywhere since earlier. Plus, I couldn't reach you on your phone!" Chacha exclaimed.Arianna laughed. Today, she was indeed late as she had a task from Samuel to handle some business outside. Because she forgot to charge her phone last night, the smart device died on her way to the office."I stopped by Alexis briefly to take care of advertising. As for the phone, I forgot to charge it last night, so it died in the middle of th

This afternoon, Arianna and Samuel finally headed to Bali to prepare for their wedding. Taking place at Six Senses Uluwatu, a luxurious and expensive resort on the island of Bali, their wedding party is planned to take place tomorrow afternoon until evening.Some relatives and exclusive guests from the Walters family have already started filling the hotel. Some of them arrived early to enjoy the beauty of Bali while waiting for the wedding events to unfold.Upon arriving in Bali, Arianna was taken to the hotel by Arabella herself. The woman was given the opportunity to rest for three hours before continuing with a series of well-organized activities scheduled for the day.Exactly at five in the evening, after a satisfying rest, Arianna was asked to go to the resort lobby. There, she found Samuel, who was also sitting casually while waiting for the next order from her mother."What are we actually going to do again, sir?" Arianna asked curiously. Since earlier, she had been busy lookin

Arianna gazed in awe at her reflection in the mirror. Wearing a white A-line dress with a hint of lace on the surface, paired with matching pump shoes on her slender legs, elevated Arianna's beauty to a whole new level.What added to her stunning appearance was the skillfully applied makeup that perfectly complemented her facial contours. To top it off, her hair was styled in a deliberately crafted twisted braid.Arianna Grey could hardly recognize herself at this moment. Indeed, she looked like the princesses from fairy tales she often read and watched. Even Laila, her foster mother, was amazed, not expecting her ward to look so different from before."Your daughter is exceptionally beautiful. Lucky Mr. Samuel is marrying you, Arianna."Arianna then turned to Laila, smiling and extending her arms, inviting her foster mother for a hug."Mama," Arianna called affectionately, "Arianna is really nervous."For this, Arianna was not exaggerating. Despite her relationship with Samuel being

"Arianna, wake up."Arianna immediately wriggled as her faint senses captured a familiar voice. Slowly opening her eyes, the fair-skinned woman was startled to find Samuel staring at her from such a close distance.If Arianna made a wrong move, their faces could easily collide. Moreover, she wondered why Samuel had awakened her so early when she was still sleepy."SAMUEL!"Arianna exclaimed, using both of her hands to push her husband's body slightly away."Arianna, no need to shout. I'm not deaf.""You scared me. Why did you wake me up with your face so close?"Samuel let out a loud sigh. There must be a reason for what he did."I've been calling you for a while, and you didn't wake up. You've been sleeping like a log.""Come on! No log looks as beautiful as me."Samuel narrowed his eyes sharply, annoyed by Arianna's excessive self-confidence."Besides, it's already past eight. It's not good for a girl to wake up so late. No wonder you're not rich. Your luck ran out when you were bit

During Arianna's first delivery, Arabella was visibly excited, eagerly awaiting and welcoming the birth of her grandchild. This time, however, Darwin and Randy were the ones filled with enthusiasm over the birth of Samuel and Arianna's twin babies. It all started with Samuel assigning his two cousins the task of naming their newly born son and daughter. Samuel and Arianna were indeed grateful because their children were born as twins and even had matching genders. "So, have you got the names for the babies yet?" Samuel asked. At the moment, both cousins along with other family members were gathered in the hospital room. Even Rama was present at the hospital. He happened to have a task that brought him to Indonesia for a few days. Upon hearing from Arabella that Arianna had just given birth, he hurriedly visited with his mother. After being given a few hours to think, Randy, who was sitting, immediately looked up. Standing up, he then approached Samuel. "I've got one, not sure abo

In the car on the way to somewhere, Samuel laughed loudly. He chuckled to himself after listening to his wife's story, who intended to retaliate against Randy. Samuel didn't object at all. He thought his cousin needed to be taught a lesson once in a while to learn his lesson. "I can't imagine how annoyed Randy's face must be, having to treat and unwillingly pay for the orders I've already placed," Arianna exclaimed, continuing to laugh. "You're absolutely right." "Let it be! He brought it on himself by being mischievous. Besides, it's nothing compared to what he's done to me countless times. It's also a good deed. We'll donate the food to the orphanage," Arianna replied without feeling any remorse. Then she shifted the topic by asking Samuel something else. "By the way, where are you taking me? I've been wondering for a while now." Samuel glanced briefly, smiling as he answered his wife's curiosity. "I'm planning to surprise you," he said, keeping his focus on the road ahead. "A

Upon realizing she had been blatantly deceived by Randy, the next day Arianna invited Samuel's cousin to have lunch together. With the intention of seeking direct clarification and giving a lengthy lecture on what he had done to her. That's why, after dropping Kalvin off at Arabella's house, Arianna hurried to her husband's office first. Upon arrival, she chose to wait for a moment in Samuel's room because he was currently attending a meeting with other Pacific executives. "After a more in-depth evaluation, there are no longer any obstacles found in this project. I think, going forward, we just need to monitor the progress of the tower construction and then discuss it again. Randy seemed serious as he presented and led the meeting today. While Samuel, from his seat, observed. Occasionally noting the important points conveyed by his cousin. "From our side, there are no issues or matters that need clarification at all, Mr. Randy," replied Agatha, who was attending the meeting today.

Since the unclear argument that happened last night, this morning Arianna continued her silent treatment. Despite still serving and even preparing breakfast for her husband, she did everything in silence. As a result, Samuel, unable to stand being ignored any longer, immediately confronted her. Seeking to ascertain what was really going on with his wife. "Honey..." called out Samuel. His usually firm voice sounded gentle this morning. Yet deep down, he was also frustrated at being ignored by his wife for too long. "Are you tired of being angry and ignoring me all the time? If I've done something wrong, I genuinely apologize," pleaded the man. He continued to gaze intently at Arianna, who was busy pouring milk into her glass. Today, Samuel didn't have to work as it coincided with a holiday. He had plans to take his wife out. However, seeing Arianna still angry since last night, Samuel was puzzled on how to persuade her. "I'm not angry," replied Arianna. Meeting his gaze, she spoke

Arianna knew that her relationship with Samuel had started accidentally. It began with a plan to secure a big tender while deceiving Arabella, and they agreed to a contractual marriage. Over time, love grew between them. Samuel was even the first person to declare his love for the woman he had married. They both promised to take their marriage seriously, to care for each other, to support and complement each other, to stay together faithfully until the end of their lives. Seeing Samuel's sincerity, love, and affection over the years, Arianna doubted that her husband was up to something behind her back. However, after noticing several oddities and Samuel's increasingly strange behavior, Arianna decided to find out what was really going on. Arianna had every reason to be suspicious. Samuel's recent movements only added to her concerns. Like detectives in movies, Arianna sought Randy's help to tail her husband, who was heading somewhere unknown. From the office, they cautiously follow

"If you look at it, land preparation and access roads are not a problem anymore. I'm optimistic that this project can be completed within a maximum period of 2 years," Samuel said, currently discussing in the meeting room with Randy and Agatha. They were indeed in a discussion, talking about the apartments and shopping center that would soon be built. All three of them looked serious, exchanging ideas to be evaluated later. Agatha, starting to feel comfortable at Pasific, didn't miss a chance to hear how Samuel presented his ideas briefly. Agatha had to admit, her ex-boyfriend was very credible in carrying out his tasks and responsibilities. Agatha was even impressed by Samuel's demeanor, always serious in giving explanations. "When the towers here are completed, the next step will be the groundbreaking for the tower in Singapore, right?" Agatha asked to confirm. "Yes, that's correct," Samuel nodded. "That means our team will take turns staying in Singapore." Agatha smiled widely

Arianna watched her husband carefully as he enjoyed his breakfast. Since last night, she couldn't stop thinking. Where did Samuel go, actually? He claimed to be going out and wanted to meet Randy to discuss something. But, when directly asked, Randy himself didn't seem to know anything about it. He even insisted that he was at home because he had just returned from the office. So, did Samuel lie to her? But why? Why did her husband have to lie like that? Because of what happened last night, negative thoughts immediately flooded her mind. Full of questions, she pondered what Samuel was hiding because his behavior had been very strange lately. "Sweetheart," Arianna spoke up after taking a sip of warm milk from the glass she held. "Yes, what is it, honey?" Samuel replied, smiling at Arianna and waiting for her to speak. "Is there anything you want to tell me or talk about?" she asked cautiously, her words inviting questions in Samuel's mind. "Talk? About what?" he asked, puzzled by

"Finally, you're back here, Mrs. Agatha. Mr. Samuel and I hope that for the next two months, you'll be comfortable here in Indonesia and the Pacific," Randy warmly greeted Agatha as she returned to Indonesia. While discussing project schedules, he occasionally threw jokes to lighten the atmosphere. "Thank you very much for the warm welcome, Mr. Randy and Mr. Samuel. I'm truly delighted to be back here and working on projects with great people like both of you," replied Agatha with a smile. Her gaze didn't stray from the figure of the man in the gray suit, who was none other than Samuel. He was the one she wanted to meet at the company. Samuel reciprocated with an equally friendly smile. After Randy, it was his turn to speak. "I hope that during the project execution and supervision process, there won't be any significant obstacles or difficulties. Even if there are any problems or something that needs consultation later on, don't hesitate to ask for help from me, Mr. Randy, or any
The Billionaire's Surrogate Wife Chapter 99
Entering the eighth month of pregnancy, Arianna's belly was noticeably large. Fortunately, in this final trimester, she still had the freedom to engage in many activities. Despite feeling tired more quickly, she still enjoyed everything she did. Besides, it would be boring to just sit around or spend a lot of time watching TV and lounging in the room as Samuel often suggested."I think you should just stay home and enjoy some me-time. Whether it's watching Korean dramas, relaxing while snacking, or inviting someone over. Ask Chacha or Madam Laila to accompany you for a chat rather than going out alone," her husband often said.Arianna had heard this sentence many times from her husband's mouth. Somehow, in this second pregnancy, Samuel's worries were evident from the beginning."If I stay at home all the time, I'll get bored, Sam. I want to go to the office or go out. Spend time outside," Arianna replied.
