Vanessa's POVI paused in shock, wondering if I heard Trinity right. Did she just threaten me? I was speechless, as she continued,“No attachments, remember? So don’t let any of this go to your head. First, it was the chairman showering you with gifts, now you’re going out to important places with your employer? That is not part of our deal, Vanessa. Yes, I told you to act like a real surrogate, but you are overdoing it this time.”I muttered, “Trinity, I—”“Let me finish, Vanessa.” She did not let me speak. “You still have quite a lot of debts to pay, which you won’t be completely rid off until the end of your contract. Now imagine what would happen if for some reason, your secret leaks. The chairman finds out. Rodri finds out. What do you think will happen to you?”My heart dropped farther down my stomach the more she spoke, painting my downfall in a spin of elegant words.“You will go to jail, Vanessa. For quite a number of things, and then what do you think will happen to your mot
Rodri's POV“Why are you fighting this?” I asked her in a low tone. My voice went lower. “Was last night not enough to convince you?”At the mention of last night, her pretty face took on a pink blush and her blue eyes averted. I brushed the wet strands of her brown hair away from her face, and smiled slightly. However my amused smile faded off when I saw that her eyes were actually a light pink, as if she had been crying.I frowned. “Are you alright, Vanessa? Did I hurt you last night—”“—No.” She abruptly cut in, her blush deepening. “I am not hurt. I am… I just…” She looked frustrated as she let out a sigh. “We need to talk.”“Is this about you being my surrogate and I, your employer? I already told you it doesn’t matter. I made the rule of no attachments, right? I have gotten rid of it as well. There’s nothing you have to worry about. I fucking want you.” I said.I had no fucking idea what she was so scared of. Why she just could not accept that we were both crazy about each other
Vanessa's POVWhatever I had been planning to say to Rodri out of my panic and fear for Trinity, he had fucked it out of my mind. Right now, I was in the gym with Lora, my fitness trainer, going through some Pilates reps. I let out a breath, and inhaled again, rhythmically as she instructed.“That’s great, Miss Sterling. Nice job.” She praised, moving backwards to grab me a bottle of cool water from the gym refrigerator lining the wall. I sat back on the workout mat, and let out a big sigh. When she returned and handed me the water, I gulped it down and thanked her, wiping my mouth.“How is your child?” I asked, remembering when her kids had suddenly fallen sick during an appointment I had with her.She gave me a kind smile, brushing her ponytail back. “I’m glad everything is okay now. Thank you for asking, Miss Sterling.” She said and extended her hand to me.I took it and straightened up from the mat, stretching my legs and arms. They felt sore, in a good type of way, since doing s
Vanessa's POVI had left the gym, and hurrying back to the east wing so I could just curl in my bed and escape reality for a moment, because I was not sure what had come over me back in the gym. Seeing that tiny baby bulge had hit me with so many emotions that I could not even make any sense out of it.I was hurrying up the stairs, when my phone began to ring. I raised it and saw that it was Estelle calling. I picked it up, and was immediately hit with the sound of Estelle crying. Alarm shot through me immediately and I asked, “Estelle? Estelle, can you hear me?”She sniffled and sobbed on the other end of the call. “Vanessa, I’m so scared right now! I don’t know what to do!”“Hey, hey.” I said, confused and very worried at the same time. “Calm down, calm down and tell me what’s going on, Estelle, you’re scaring me!”“It’s my boyfriend. I just got a call that he was involved in a very, very ghastly car accident. I rushed to the scene but the paramedics and already taken him to the ne
Rodri's POVSurprise. Then Pleasure. And Satisfaction.I felt all of those as I opened my door expecting to see some random worker or security guard there, but it was the least person I expected to come all the way to my room. It was Vanessa. Her brown hair was pulled into that messy ponytail she always put her hair in whenever she had a gym appointment with her fitness trainer.A deep red bra top hugged her breasts into a voluptuous cleavage, and black gym tights encased her hips and legs. It always fucking blew my mind how she was this beautiful, and I had barely even noticed when we first met.Her blue eyes were wide, struggling to stay on my face, but they kept straying down to my body. It filled me up with possessive male satisfaction. To see that I was not the only one who could not take my eyes off of the other person.I found myself smiling, seeing her here all by herself, after she tried to keep me at a distance after the sex this morning.“Didn’t get enough in the bathroom?”
Vanessa's POV.I went downstairs pacing while waiting for Rodri, after what seemed like an eternity he finally appeared on the staircase holding the keys to the lambo , we went to the car and slid inside after he had unlocked it.After getting into the car I fumbled with the seatbelt, trying to keep my mind in one piece when Rodri's voice jolted me back to reality." Is that a baby bump?" He asked.I put a hand on my stomach like a reflex action and answered, " yes," after which Rodri became quiet, I on the other hand couldn't seem to take my hand away from my stomach.Thinking about the life that was growing inside me seemed to calm my nerves and ease my tension. I was going to the hospital to provide a form of emotional support to Estelle, so how would I be able to do that when I was all tensed .The ride to the hospital was quiet, not akwardly quiet, but the type of quietness that made you feel calm . Rodri Soon pulled up the lambo in front of the hospital .As we stepped out of
RODRI'S POV I took Vanessa's hand in mine as we walked out of the hospital lobby , glancing at her I caught her looking at the nurse that served as the receptionist I don't know what but the two looked like they were about to pounce on each other at anytime. I silently chuckled at their childish behaviour before I placed my arm around her waist as we stepped out of the building, we ignored all the eyes that were staring at us and just walked over to the car. I held out the door for her as the gentleman that I am before going to the other side of the car and getting into the driver's seat. "Thank you." Vanessa said with flushed cheeks as I got into the car I smiled at her in response before turning on the ignition and soon enough we were leaving the hospital and heading towards the villa to see my Mom. We soon arrived at the villa and drove to the clinic where my Mom was hospitalized . " Damm , I didn't bring any book." Vanessa said, smacking her forehead with her palm. "It's f
ESTELLE'S POV. I got up from my seat and went into the room where my boyfriend was, I gently closed the door leaving Nessa and her boss, or should I say boyfriend? outside. The surgery had been successful so all that was left was for him to wake up, I went over to his bed and sat beside him gently stroking his hair and holding his hand. A nurse came in to administer some medicine on him," has he moved yet?" She asked. " No, there hasn't been any movement at all." I answered " Alright." " When will he wake up?" " He should be awake any moment from now or at least show signs of consciousness, he will be fine ma'am." the nurse reassured me before she turned to leave again. My throat started to feel itchy and dry , I badly needed a drink, but I didn't want to leave him all alone so I checked outside the room to ask Vanessa to look after him while I got a drink but she wasn't there," they must've left." I thought to myself. I mustered up courage and left the room to get a drink
