VANESSA'S POV

I had no idea I was squeezing the phone in my hand until a warm hand circled around mine and I lifted my head up to meet Rodri's face, which had concern plastered all over it. "Are you alright, Vanessa?" He quickly asked, as he propped himself on top of the pavement, staring at me.

"Yes, I'm fine," I hastily responded, withdrawing my hand from his, while I used the other hand to tuck the phone back into the bag. "Are you?" I asked instead, attempting to shift the conversation away from myself. I didn't feel good about lying to him but I couldn't also tell him what was actually going on.

The look on his face was screaming doubt but he didn't probe and I silently thanked him. "Yes, yes," he finally said, leaning forward to grab hold of my hand again. "Everything is fine, mama," He added with relief all over his face. "Everything is fine." I placed my second hand on his and gave him a light squeeze.

There was no doubt that there was a lot going on for me with the

  • The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret   Something you should know

    RODRI'S POV The moment I pulled into the driveway and switched off the ignition, Vanessa reached for the seatbelt and unclasped it, swinging it off her body in quite a haste. Removing the seatbelt and helping her out of the car was my job but it seemed like she had no need for my services at the moment. My eyes followed her movements in surprise as she propped open the car door a few seconds after she had rid herself of the seatbelt and carefully placed one foot out. She swung her bag over her shoulder as she attempted to move out of the car's confinements all by herself. "Let me help you." I called out gently as I hurriedly opened my side of the car and jogged around to her own side of it. "Why are you doing this all by yourself when I'm here?" I asked with confusion masking my face as I made to help her but retracted my hand when she gently shrugged it off. "It's fine, Rodri," Vanessa answered firmly, balancing both feet on the ground as she finally but carefully got out o

    TRINITY'S POV Reaching out to Michael Sterling was most definitely important but taking a long bath was also a necessity. With one swipe upwards, I tapped on the Do not disturb icon and tossed the phone on the bed. Samira was due to arrive with news but I needed a clearer head to process it. A deep sigh of relief escaped through my lips as I sank into the bathtub, elated that I had gone through the trouble to run myself a bubble bath. My appearance had always been topmost priority for me but with everything that had been going on with the pregnancy and Rodri, the last thing I had cared about was my body. Sweet alluring scent of lavender of filled the bathroom as I picked up the beauty soap—that had come recommended by Vanessa's beautician through Samira—and applied it on a soft sponge till it formed a lather. Another sigh of pure content left my lips as the sponge touched my delicate skin. Usually, I had my bubble baths whenever I had an appointment with Rodri and doing it now

    VANESSA'S POV Rodri's questions echoed in my head as Samira handed me my drugs and I felt guilty for not answering him. The ride home last night had been chaotic for me, my mind kept on drifting back to the conversation I had with my miserable father. For some reason, I couldn't shake off the feeling that someone close to me had given him my number. Mum was completely out of the question since I knew she would do anything to protect me from him. She had talked about his threats and how he had tried to get her to give my location up but she had firmly stood her ground. I was a hundred percent certain she had not aided him, then who had? Well, the calls had stopped after I had turned my phone off in the car and then back on after bathing and having breakfast. Knowing my father very well, I knew it was just a matter of time before he started calling again but this time around, I was ready to block his number once again. The last thing I needed was someone stirring up the pot I w

    TRINITY'S POV "Hello, who's this?" A gruff male voice poured out the speaker as I tapped on the loud speaker icon and placed the phone on my thigh. The voice sounded oddly familiar but I wasn't about to conclude it was who I was looking for without asking the proper questions. "It doesn't matter who I am," I answered monotonously, making sure my voice was as clear as it was firm. "What matters is what I have for you and if you're the right person to receive this priceless information." I could almost see the look of confusion on his face. There was silence for a few seconds, before he responded in a more firmer voice than I had used. "What kind of information could you possibly have for me?" The question was laced with a hint of amusement but oddly, I wasn't upset by it but rather intrigued. Compared to Vanessa, this man was bold and smart. I knew I had to poke his balloon a little bit to get his attention. "Something that would prove to be quite useful for you, Mr Sterling."

    RODRI'S POV It was undeniable that her statement had caught me completely off guard but I quickly chided myself and tried to regain my composure as I ushered her to the seat directly opposite mine. It was very strange that she had approached my office by this time of the day, it was something she had never done before. For as long as I could remember, the helpers I had hired for Vanessa had stayed away from me except when they had important things to discuss with me. Something felt odd about her countenance but instead of wasting time guessing what it could be, I decided to just up and make enquiries. "Is anything the matter, Samira?" I asked calmly, the moment she sat carefully on the chair. Her eyes were lowered and oddly shielded by her not so long lashes and it made me wonder if she was scared of something or if she was just being cautious. "Is something wrong with Vanessa or the baby?" Fear started to seep through my veins as her eyes flew upwards to meet mine in a hast

    VANESSA'S POV Rays of sunlight peeked through the curtain, flashing directly on my face as my eyes involuntarily fluttered open. It took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust to the morning light as I rubbed gently on my eyes, trying to clear my vision while I carefully stretched my sore limbs. Almost as soon as I could make out most of the room, my eyes drifted to the clock on the dressing table and I almost jumped out of the bed when I realized it was almost 10am. It felt odd that I had been allowed to sleep in till this time but with how yesterday went for me, I felt Samira had intentionally given me more resting time. Thinking about Samira, I surveyed the bed in search of my phone and was surprised when I saw it on the dressing table, next to the alarm clock. I wasn't sure how it had gotten there because I was certain I had left it next to my pillow before drifting into a tired sleep. How had it then gotten to the table? My mind jolted back to the conversation I had had with

    RODRI'S POV "Is there something you're not telling me, Vanessa?" I asked in a clear voice as my eyes brushed over her tired face. It was alarming to me that she was looking this tired after I had informed her helpers to let her sleep for as long as she wanted. Concern was clearly written on her face and I could see a hint of apprehension. Vanessa blinked thrice as she lowered her face before bringing her eyes back to rest on mine. "Why do you say so, Rodri?" She squeaked at me, causing me to raise an eyebrow in suspicion. Well, there was the fact that she was just waking up from sleep—her face screamed so—but there was something about her pitch, as if she had been crying. "You seem off, Nessa. Hell, you've been off since yesterday," I confessed, urging her with my eyes to confide in me. "Tell me if something is going on and we'll solve it together. I promise." I got up from the table and moved towards the bed, settling in just next to her. My hands circled around her hand as bi

    VANESSA'S POV "Yes, she's expecting me, doctor. I'll like to go in and see her now." Estelle's voice floated towards me from outside the hospital room and a slow smile crept up my face. It had not even been up to thirty minutes since she called and I informed her I was at the hospital, she was here already? I heard the doctor heave a sigh of exasperation before finally agreeing to adhere to Estelle's demands. "Fine, you can go in to see her. But make sure she doesn't do anything that will stress her or the baby, alright?" The doctor warned in a firm voice and I could almost see my best friend nodding vigorously, even though she was most likely to do the opposite of what she had been asked to do. A few seconds of silence followed before a knock sounded on the door and it creaked open to reveal a very excited Estelle at the other side. "Hi, baby," she called out in an oddly calm voice—which was contrary to the look on her face—as she waltzed into the room, holding on to the bigg

    Vanessa’s POVRodri walked out of the bathroom with water dripping from his head down his body and I just sat in the bed and watched him clean his body with the towel.A freaking towel touching my man’s body? Parts that should exclusively belong to me.I made a mental note of getting rid of that towel as I tiptoed to where he was standing and grabbed his nipples from behind.“Babe…” he turned to me and I immediately took one nipple with my mouth and the other with my hand.Immediately his moans filled the room as he grabbed a handful of my hair in ecstasy.I raised my head to look at his face and stole my lips with his. Kissing and sucking my tongue like his life depended on it.He ripped off my transparent nightwear and started sucking my breast.I threw my head backwards, giving him full access to my body. He pushed me till my back was against the wall then he raised one of my legs up and inserted a finger inside me.“You’re wet baby… you’re wet for me.”“Ohhh.. yes.. just for you.”

    Estelle’s POV “Mo, this is not the way to the hospital.” I said as Moses drove through a very unfamiliar route. “You didn’t believe me when I said we were going to the hospital to see those kids. Did you?” I gave him a questioning glare. “Come on babe, don’t you think it’s too late to go to a hospital to look for kids you don’t even know personally?” “So…” I was still glaring at him and it somehow seemed funny to him as he laughed like he just heard the joke of the century. “I’m sorry babe but I was pulling your legs.” “I thought you wanted to go to the hospital to be sure I wasn’t lying to you.” “Why will I ever doubt you?” He placed a hand on mine while still concentrating on the road. “I will never doubt you babe. I trust you and I love you.” My glare slowly turned into a little smile with puppy eyes. “Stop it Moses. It’s so cringey.” “I can’t stop loving you so you have to manage my cringiness.” “Is there any word like that in the dictionary?” I asked, la

    Rodri’s POV I didn’t believe I’d feel the way I felt when I saw Benson at the hospital looking all pale and white. It was the doctor's assurance and Vanessa’s support that helped me overcome that day and the other days that followed till he became well again. “I’m ready babe.” Vanessa’s voice dragged my strayed attention. I got up and gave her a forehead kiss as we left the bedroom together. We went to Rainn’s bedroom to see him and his grandma that was always with him. “Morning mom.” Vanessa and I chorused. Vanessa turned to me and smiled, giving me a slight tickle on my waist. “You know you are the overly ticklish one and you’re looking for trouble.” I whispered in her ear and she giggled in response. Rainn chuckled too in his cradle like he could hear what I was saying to his mother. I walked to where he was, carried him and started throwing him up. His laughter filled the room giving me a kind of satisfaction I never thought I’d ever have. I gave him a ki

    Estelle’s POV After that remarkable night with Moses, I woke up to my head on his firm chest and his strong arms around my body. It was the best night of my life. Though since then I’ve been wondering what we really were and if he was feeling the same way I was feeling. I could only hope I wasn’t losing myself easily again. The sound of my phone ringing dragged back my attention. And as expected, the caller was Moses. “Hello dreamboat, how is my pookie bear doing?” Typical of Moses he’s always having new cute names for me. “Mo…” I knew I sounded exhausted, but I should have controlled it because the man I was talking to would freak out. “Why are you sounding this way? Still at work? Haven’t you closed for the day? Aren’t they…” “Calm down Mo, don’t stress about it. I’m good.” “We both know you’re not.” “Well it’s because I’m mis…” I almost told him I was missing him. I heaved a sigh We weren’t officially together so I didn’t want to seem like I was despera

    Vanessa’s POV “Ms Trinity Seaman, you’re found guilty of all the charges against you, therefore, you’re hereby sentenced to ten years imprisonment with hard labor.” The judge ruled the case against her and hit the gavel on the bench. I couldn’t help but notice the look of horror on Trinity’s face when the judgment was made. I saw regrets, fear and pains written all over her. I wished I could turn back the hand of time and not go to her for an abortion. But which other way would I have met Rodri? “My baby…” was the last word I could read from her lips as the prison officers dragged her out of the courtroom. Rodri’s grip tightened on my hand and I turned to see him giving me a reassuring smile. “It’s not your fault babe. You didn’t tell her to try to poison me or drug dad and try to have his child. She doesn’t deserve your pity.” I blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall off my eyes. “What about her child?” I asked him as we walked out of the courthouse. “

    Trinity’s POV The entrance of the cheap driver into the interrogation room destabilized me for a split second. I thought he already confessed to Angela and her husband what we had that night and I mentioned him out of impulse, which I was already starting to regret. I didn’t want to say that but I was at a dead end, I needed to get myself off the mess I was in. Though I still couldn’t believe the results of the DNA tests Angela threw at me proved whatever she claimed. The cheapskate driver’s hands started shaking as he tried in vain to open the door and leave. “It’s him what?” Rodri scoffed. I could see the confusion on his face mirror on his parents face. But Vanessa kinda looked indifferent, like she knew what the next thing I’d say. Ugh! I hate this bitch and how highly she thinks of herself now that she has Rodri. I hate her so much that I wish she’d just fall down and die at this moment! “If the result of the DNA test says the child is not a Darnell, which I st

    Rodri’s POV We got to the hospital to meet Trinity panting like she had just finished a one thousand five hundred meter race. “You!” She pointed at Vanessa as soon as she saw her. “You betrayed me, you went ahead and fell in love with him against your own words! I will make you regret it.” “Sure you will after telling us.. no, after telling the world how you got pregnant and tried to pin the bastard on my son and husband by drugging and having sex with him.” Mom threw the result of the DNA tests she did at Trinity’s face. Trinity paused momentarily then took a deep breath. “Who.. how.. you…” She was obviously flustered by mom and how her secret got exposed. “Who told me and how did I know?” Mom fired at her. The door opened and two police officers walked in. “Miss Trinity Seaman, you are under arrest for…” “You can’t arrest me…” “I’ll advise you to remain silent for anything you say might be used against you in the court of law. “What about my son, what would becom

    Rodri’s POV “I’m coming with you.” Vanessa said as she entered the bathroom after I came out. I would have stubbornly gone to see mom last night after dads call if not for the unexpected rain that showed up suddenly and Vanessa used the opportunity she had to give me a good blow job that if not for much self control, I would have fucked her silly. I saw my face turning red in the mirror. I wasn’t a baby and it wasn’t even the first time I was given a blow job and truth be told, it wasn’t the best I’d ever had but somehow I found myself blushing at the thought of it. “And why is your face red?” I didn’t need to turn to know it was Vanessa. And she was in her birthday suit. The fuck was going on in her silly mind? She didn’t even look like someone that just delivered a child, if not for the little scar on her stomach, no one would know she was ever pregnant. “You’re beautiful...” I heard myself say without my knowledge. She came to me, stole a kiss an

    Estelle’s POVAfter Vanessa ran off, I laughed inwardly because I didn’t want Moses to know that I was happy being alone with him, even though I was mad at him.I knew what Vanessa did, she wanted me to settle things quickly with Moses because if this misunderstanding lingers, it could cost us a chance at a beautiful relationship I was hoping to have with him.Still, I told myself to remind myself that I was going to kill Vanessa the next time I saw her for being a traitor and a betrayer.“I like her.” He said, as he started driving again.“Why won’t you?” I rolled my eyes. “…when she’s on your side.”“Just know that I love anything and anyone you love.”I scoffed. What in the name of cheesiness?“Doesn’t matter, I won’t forgive you for lying to me.”He drove to one side of the road and pulled over.
