View MoreEthan’s POVThe hospital staff quickly took over as soon as we arrived, wheeling Sophia into the emergency room. I stood outside, feeling a helplessness that was foreign to me. As I wandered the hallways, memories from college flooded my mind—memories of my best friend, Jake, whom I had lost due to my negligence.Back in college, Jake and I had a huge fight over something trivial. He had been going through a rough patch and needed someone to talk to, but I was too absorbed in my own problems to listen. Our argument escalated, and in a fit of anger, he stormed out of my house. I remember watching him leave, feeling a mix of frustration and guilt. Later that night, I received a call saying that Jake had been in a car accident. He died in the hospital, and I’ve blamed myself ever since for letting our fight get out of hand and for not being there for him when he needed me.Now, here I am again, putting Sophia at risk because of my neglect.Minutes felt like hours before a doctor approa
Ethan’s POVAs I sat in my study, the golden light of dusk streaming through the window, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The whiskey in my hand had long since turned warm and bitter, but I continued to hold onto it, swirling the liquid absentmindedly as I replayed the events of the past few weeks in my head.I had thought the surrogacy arrangement with Sophia Parker, a woman I had barely known, would be a simple transaction. She needed money, and I needed an heir. It seemed like a perfect solution. My father's demand had been ringing in my ears —produce an heir or lose everything. And so, I had turned to surrogacy, believing it to be a straightforward and logical decision."This was supposed to be simple," I sighed, setting the glass down with a soft clink.Yet, each day, I found myself drawn to Sophia more than I had anticipated. Her resilience and fiery spirit clashed with my cold, calculated demeanor, creating a tension that was both unsettling and intriguingI leaned
Sophia POV“You slutty, whore-mongering thief!!” He sneered angrily at me.“You think you can easily steal from me? I was ready to bring down the world in flames if I hadn’t found you.”“You think you’re smart, huh? Trying to run away with my money and not holding your own end of the bargain? You must be a clown." He continued to yell angrily at me.At that moment, a thousand questions ran through my mind.How did he find me?Who told him where I lived? Whoever said I was running with his money?But I didn’t ask them out loud; instead, I apologized and tried to explain.“Mr. Westwood, I’m truly sorry. I never had intentions of running from you; a lot has happened in the past week, and I was trying to take some time for myself.”.“In fact...”“Oh! Hush, you filth, there’s no flimsy excuse you can give to try and hide your act. I knew you were cheap, but are you trying to steal from me? Well, I shouldn’t have underestimated you." He interrupted and spoke.Now this man is really gettin
Sophia POVWith what felt like heaven on earth, Ethan’s sudden change of mood came as a complete shock to me. For someone who was so gentle and meek a few seconds ago, I didn’t expect what came next.After catching his breath, he picked up his shorts that lay on the floor, put them on, and walked to his wardrobe across the room. He took out some wads of cash from his briefcase and threw them at me. “That is the part payment of the deal,” he said.Once again, I was taken aback by his words.“You get the rest when you deliver my child to me." He continued. I was dumbfounded, too shocked and surprised by his actions to speak. After a few minutes of silence and just watching him, he spoke up again. “Well, what are you lying there for? Do you think we would cuddle? Take the money and leave at once; the deed is done.”.This time, I responded. I had found my words, and I was willing to use them to take back my dignity.“You arrogant dimwit! I wouldn’t expect anything less from you.” “Y
Sophia’s POVAfter signing my life over to the devil himself, he drove us to the hospital to complete the tests that would determine my suitability as a surrogate. In the waiting room, hours passed until the results were eventually announced. The doctor's diagnosis—negative for syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B and C, and all other potential infections—was a comfort. Not like I was expecting anything less; I had such a rigid lifestyle—from work to the hospital and back home.After receiving confirmation that I was healthy overall, we drove awkwardly and silently back home, carrying a heavy load from the day. As we drove back to his mansion through the well-known streets, the sound of the car's engine filled the silence.When we got there at last, he showed me into his room. Here I was, about to set out on a journey that would entwine our lives in ways we still didn't fully understand. I was filled with a mixture of nerves and excitement as I stood there, wondering what was going to happen i
Sophia’s POV I am running late for the meeting I had scheduled with Mr.Westwood.I quickened my pace into the mansion, ushered in by some staff, to what I came to realize was his study.I rushed through the door; my appearance and haste were enough to tell that I took an impromptu break from my workplace. I had almost approached where he was sitting when I bumped into his staff holding a tray.I cursed under my breath. As if the day couldn’t get any worse. “I'm… I'm sorry.” She stutters. The young woman handed me a towel while she picked up the tray and left the study.“It's inappropriate to keep someone waiting,” Mr. Westwood said without allowing me to take a seat first.“I'm sorry, I had to leave work without permission,” I said, taking a seat.I’m so……“I’m offering you a million dollars,” he said, cutting off my apologies.“Sorry?” I ask, confused.“What are you talking about?”“You said you had a better job for me.”“That's why I brought my CV.”I reach into my bag to bring o
