RODRI'S POV.

I sat in my office buried in reading and signing of paperworks when my secretary rang my landline.

"Sir the event planner you asked for is here already," her voice rang at the end of the line.

"Okay let the person in," I responded.

I had asked that she help me get an event planner, I was planning a big surprise engagement for Vanessa, yes I wanted to cuff her.

Since the other day at the hospital when we confirmed that it was her interaction with Mom that made her react, I felt a certain assurance that she was the one for me. Apparently she likened my mother to a rose waiting patiently to bloom in her book.

The event planner walked in and to my surprise it was a man, I had always thought women did a better job at planning events because they had a thing for gatherings.

"Good afternoon sir." He greeted, as he came into the office.

"Good afternoon have a seat," I said pointing to one of the seats in Front Of my table.

"Thank you," he said while taking a seat.

I had heard about how pregnant women got so many blemishes on their faces as a result of their pregnancy, but the same couldn't be said about Vanessa.After a few moments of watching her sleep, I also drifted off to to a peaceful sleep.Rudely awakened by a rather loud notification tone from Vanessa's phone. I quickly shot up and grabbed the phone, lowering the volume, so it wouldn't wake her up, luckily she seemed to be quite deep in her sleep as she didn't even move.I sighed in relief then her phone buzzed again, a message popped up and it was from her mother, and it said; "thank you honey I sent the money to him already, let's hope this would be the last time, I'm sorry I had to drag you into this."I began to wonder what her mother was talking about, who was the "him", and what were they p

    RODRI'S POV.It was a hectic day, especially with the business expansion going on in Taiwan. I sat back in my chair trying to review the expenses the company had incured, all looked normal to me, although I hadn't looked into it deeply like I would like to.I glanced at my wristwatch and it was almost 4 o' clock already, I had a zoom meeting to attend by 5 o' clock, I was torn between the idea of going home for the meeting or waiting behind at the office to attend the meeting.Vanessa had been bugging me for some time and it was because of my late home coming, I smiled at the thought she was starting to behave like a wife.I couldn't tell if it was her pregnancy hormones kicking in or the fact that she was about to become a mother but I was utterly grateful to whatever it was.The blaring of the landline on my table abruptly interupted my thoughts and jolted me back to reality."Boss there's a man causing a scene outside," my secretary said on the other end of the phone."What?

Did he just call me family? "No Mike we're far from family." "Come on man, all I'm asking for is a job, so I'd be able to raise the money I need for the importation business." "I've told you the only job you can get here is that of a janitor, now if you'll excuse me I have a meeting I need to attend."

  • The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret   A bastard

    Vanessa’s POVI felt a bit elated when Rodri’s phone started ringing and better when he excused himself to take the call, even though I was not supposed to. I was dying to tell him the truth and at the same time, fighting it, because of what it might result to.And it was becoming harder by the day, because whenever I tried to talk about it, something always came up to stop me. But I was more than ready to go against all odds, because it would be worse if he heard it from Trinity.Rodri Darnell deserved better. He deserved an honest woman who wasn’t deceiving him with a bastard child. I wish he didn’t change the way he was to me when I first came. I wish he was still cold and cruel, bringing home different women. I wish his father hadn’t accepted me and showered me with unconditional love."Are you alright, Vanessa?" Rodri's voice cut through my thoughts, drawing my attention towards him. I nodded slightly, struggling to pry my mind off what was going on within me and focus on the man

    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

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.
