Rodri's POV

I opened my eyes, feeling drowsier than fucking ever. Immediately I regained consciousness, I knew that whatever sleep I was waking up from was not natural. Because usually, I would never black out this deep, and for this long.

“Mr. Darnell, you are awake.” A soft voice said from somewhere above me. “How do you feel? Can you see me clearly?”

I blinked and turned my face slightly in the direction the voice was coming from. Slowly, my vision cleared out and I saw that there was a lady in a nurse uniform standing by my bed. She was fiddling with an IV tube on my wrist, smiling kindly at me.

“Yeah, I see you.” I said, and my voice came out hoarse. Slowly, I looked around and saw that I was in a hospital ward.

What the fuck?

“That’s great. It means the effects of your allergic reaction have been significantly reduced.”

My allergic reaction? I was completely lost, wondering what she could even be talking about. The last thing I remembered was that I was getting out of my car, co

    Rodri's POVDoctor Ryan came into the room a few moments later, when I had already disconnected the IV tube from my arm and was standing by the glass wall of the VIP hospital ward, staring at the night sky outside.“I knew you would be out of the bed the moment you woke up.” He chuckled, walking closer.I turned away from the outside view to stare at him instead. He was in his doctor’s white coat as usual, with his glasses hanging off the bridge of his nose. He paused in front of me, and asked,“How are you feeling, Rodri? Any more symptoms?”“I’m fine.” I said a bit too forcefully. Then I closed my eyes briefly, brushing my hand through my hair. “I am just so fucking pissed off at that restaurant. I’m a fucking regular costumer of theirs, but they should be expecting a lawsuit pretty soon.”Doctor Ryan nodded grimly. “It’s strange. Because the amount of allergy properties I found in the blood test we conducted, was a lot. Almost concentrated. And your reaction to it was very serious,

    Vanessa's POVI should be sleeping. But I could not fall asleep, no matter how hard I tried. My nutritionist had come by and made me a warm meal, and a filling, queen breakfast to replenish the energy I must have “lost” staying up all night at Dolphin hospital.I was upset at how I had acted out of my place, following Rodri to the hospital and staying by his side all night as if I had any importance to him, or his family.I was literally a stranger.But I could not explain the kind of possessiveness and worry that had struck me when I saw him be so vulnerable, for the first time.I sighed and closed my eyes, snuggling deeper into my pillows. And then when he woke up, all that vulnerability had disappeared.He had become the cold and detached billionaire CEO of Dolphin group again, with his hazel eyes hard and non-negotiable again. And he had impassively sent me home.That had harshly reminded me that I had no business being worried about him. The many workers in that hospital would

    Vanessa's POVI heard the chairman’s boisterous voice before I even caught sight of him. He was talking with the Chef, as well as one of the assistant nurses. I had no idea that she was still around the mansion even.I paused behind a wall, and took in a deep breath. Then I stepped forward. The sound of my heels cut into their conversation, and three pairs of eyes moved in my direction. Four pairs of eyes actually, if I included those of the chairman’s bodyguard in a jet black suit standing in the corner.I plastered a bright smile on my face as I approached, and once I was close enough, I lowered my head politely at him.“Good afternoon, Mr. Darnell. I was told you wanted to see me.”He stared at me with delight in his eyes, before he let out an impressed laugh and motioned for me to sit down.“Miss Sterling! Of course, I want to see you, you’re carrying my grandchild and that makes you so precious to me.” He smiled kindly. “You look so radiant, does this mean you are happy with the

  • The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret   What happened to Rodri?

    Trinity's POVI stepped out of the surgical dressing room feeling extremely drained and tired from the major surgery that was just concluded. I sighed deeply and rolled my neck around, walking towards the hospital Café where I could get a good, warm cup of Matcha Tea.I already had a lot of wine yesterday, so it was not a good idea to add coffee to that, because of my precious pregnancy, so I had to opt for an alternative drink.“Hey, Trinity. How was the surgery?” A colleague asked from a table I walked past.I waved, “A success, what more can you expect from my team?” I flashed my signature perfect nurse grin and continued on my way. I could feel their stares of awe and admiration following me.It was true. Although I only assisted in a few surgeries, I was always put on the team which had the best doctors, by Dolphin hospital standards. Since, all the doctors in this hospital are the best of the best.I looked perfect as usual, but on the inside I was just so drained and tired. Esp

    Trinity's POV“You may go through, ma’am.” The security said monotonously, waving me through the humongous black gates that led into the premises of Rodri’s billion dollar mansion.I smiled and eased my heeled foot on the accelerator, moving my car forward. I could never get used to the raw splendor and majestic beauty of Rodri’s place no matter how many times I have been here.It was modern, sleek, with most of it’s walls made of solid glass, to match his taste. And he had excellent taste.Which was why it was my ultimate goal to become his wife, so all of this, in addition to the many other properties he owned within and outside the country, would be all mine. And that of my unborn baby.Since my plan wasn't going smoothly, my top priority was to be linked to the Darnell family first, then I could focus on snatching Rodri all to myself. Between now and that time, Vanessa would keep him distracted with her bastard baby, so he doesn’t give special attention to some random woman outsid

    Trinity's POVA necklace made of a precious stone? And earrings that matched? A limited edition designer bag, and a luxury perfume? A whole box of professional makeup equipment?Those were not the type of gifts that someone like Vanessa could really appreciate, because her world does not make room for expensive things like that. She came from a family riddled with debt, and shitty parents.Right from high school, she was always that kid that showed up to class in the same clothes from last year, because she didn’t have the luxury to change wardrobes every summer like most of us.Now, I had turned her pathetic life into a one filled with billionaires and billion dollar mansions. I knew all of these wouldn’t last, because her secret would eventually be opened and all of these kindness the chairman was showering her would vanish.I smiled darkly to myself.So why did I still feel jealous? I was far above feeling jealous of a pauper like Vanessa Sterling. I was better than that.Slowly I

    Rodri's POVI didn’t wait for Trinity to move. She was standing frozen in front of me, like a statue that could shatter into a million pieces if it gets knocked over.A single tear rolled down her amber eye, making her mascara bleed down her cheeks. But I was done with her fucking schemes and theatrics. Even her fucking tears could be all an act.I brushed past her and moved into the house, confident that she wouldn’t be out there by the time I stepped back out. If she still was, the security guards would be more than happy to remove her from the premises.I crossed the lobby and stepped into the sitting room where Dad sat, laughing and saying something to Vanessa that I really didn’t catch. Because all of my fucking attention was arrested the moment I looked over at her.She was smiling, a genuine smile, as she flipped through the stack of books on her thighs. It looked like she had just unwrapped them from a gift wrapper.I blinked.What the hell was going on in here?“Thank you so

    Rodri's POVAs I approached Vanessa’s bedroom, I saw that the door was halfway open. I stepped closer and immediately spotted Vanessa inside her bedroom. I didn’t mean to say quiet and stare… I knew I should probably announce my presence because it would be weird if she looked in my direction only to see me staring at her from behind the door like a fucking creep… but I still found myself staring anyway.She was standing by her dressing table, smiling down at the stack of books the chairman had gifted to her. It was probably romance books, because the last time I saw her reading something, it was romance.Out of all the gifts dad got her, the books seemed to be her favorite. Her smile was radiant as she admired the front covers. I felt the ice around my cold, black heart crack a little as I stared at her.A wavy strand of brown hair fell across her face, and she absently brushed it back, exposing the delicate skin of her neck.The small pink dress was made of some kind of material th

    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.
