Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 120: Reality Check
FAITHBlaze’s expression flickered for a moment, something unreadable passing through his eyes, but then he quickly schooled his face back into his usual stoic mask. "I’m just concerned for you, okay?"I rolled my eyes, ready to snap back, but he spoke before I could."And if you don’t want to see it as me being a boyfriend," he said, his voice lowering slightly, "then think of it as a fussy father who doesn’t want his children to get hurt."I groaned, throwing my hands up. "You’re impossible."Blaze smirked slightly, opening the car door for me. "Yeah, yeah. Get in."Muttering under my breath, I climbed into the car, and he followed, shutting the door behind him.The ride to the university was filled with our usual back-and-forth, me huffing about how overprotective he was, him insisting that I needed to take better care of myself.When we finally pulled up outside the entrance, I grabbed my bag, reaching for the door handle.But before I stepped out, Blaze spoke, his voice softer th

FAITHI stayed quiet.Austin didn’t.He took my silence as an invitation to keep talking, his voice steady, full of conviction. “Faith, you know I care about you. And I know you think Blaze does too. But tell me… what happens when you give birth to his babies?”I swallowed, my throat dry, but I didn’t answer.Austin took a step closer, his gaze locking onto mine. “He might act like he likes you a lot right now, but after this? After they’re here? Do you really think he’ll still be around for you?” He exhaled, shaking his head. “Come on, Faith. You know him. You know how guys like him work. Right now, you're carrying something that belongs to him—his children. But once they’re born, once he doesn’t have a reason to keep you in his house anymore, what then? Where does that leave you?”A lump formed in my throat.Blaze hadn’t given me an answer yet.He hadn’t given me a label, a commitment, anything beyond vague reassurances. And yes, I liked him—a lot more than I was willing to admit ou

FAITHThe morning light streamed through my curtains, casting a soft glow over my room as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. My phone buzzed on my nightstand, the screen lighting up with a notification.Austin: Meet me at our old spot today. I know I said I’d only ask you out if I got the interview, but you know what? That doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is you being with me—whether I have this job or not.I stared at the message, my heart tightening slightly.Austin had always been persistent, but this… this was something else. The words were sincere, almost desperate, and for a brief moment, I felt myself softening.He really wanted this. Wanted me.I bit my lip, a small, involuntary smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.Maybe I was being too harsh. Maybe, despite everything, Austin really had changed. Maybe he was willing to prove himself, to show me that what we had before was still worth something.I didn’t have the answer yet, but for the first time in a while, I d

FAITHBlaze smirked. “Yeah, but the pressure hasn’t started yet, so I have some time to relax before it gets really busy.”I let out a small hum, my eyes still watching him skeptically. “I see,” I muttered. “So you want a day to relax before you’re struggling to catch a breath?”Blaze chuckled, running a hand through his dark hair. “Yeah, basically.”I hummed again, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.Still, I let it go.The rest of the day was surprisingly peaceful.For the first time in a while, I had

FAITHIt had been three hours.Three hours of sitting at the same old bench, the same spot Austin and I used to meet before, with no sign of him.The sunlight had shifted across the sky, casting long shadows on the ground, and I found myself staring at the empty space where he was supposed to be, my stomach twisting with every passing minute.I checked my phone again. No new messages. Nothing from Austin. I had texted him at least five times and called him, maybe more than that.Each time, the same automated response: "The number you are calling is currently out of reach."Out of reach. What did that even mean? Why wasn’t he answering?

FAITHI sighed, rubbing my temples. “You and me both, buddy. He made me wait until now as well.”Blaze smirked subtly, the corner of his mouth twitching upward. “So, he didn’t come—your friend?”I nodded, the frustration creeping back into my chest. “Yeah, he didn’t come. If he did, it would have only taken five minutes for us to be done.”Blaze arched an eyebrow, his gaze sharp. “Why five minutes only?”I mumbled quietly, almost to myself, not wanting to dwell too much on the weight of the words. “Because that’s how much time it takes to break someone’s heart.”The air between us grew still, and for a moment, I regretted saying it. It felt too raw, too honest. I didn’t want to talk about how much it hurt. I didn’t want to admit to Blaze that, in the end, Austin hadn’t even shown up, and I was left to question everything.Blaze didn’t say anything for a while. His gaze softened just a fraction, his jaw tightening as though he were holding back something—some kind of comment, or perhap

FAITH“You and I have to talk.”I couldn’t hold back my frustration. “Ha! I have nothing to talk to somebody like you.”Reagan’s voice was calm, smooth, as though she was in complete control. “It’s about Austin.”“I don’t want to hear about it,” I shot back, my patience wearing thin.“You have to,” Reagan replied, her tone insistent.I let out a sigh, already feeling my temper flare. “No, I don’t.”“Over the call. Austin moved away because of you,” she said, her voice colder no

BLAZEJared’s eyes widened as he let out a sharp breath. "You did what?"I glanced up at him from the stack of papers in front of me, not even bothering to break my casual demeanor. "Why are you overreacting?" I asked, the words sliding off my tongue with ease. "So I took advantage of Austin's weakness when he was crying after losing his job. So what? That’s what I do. That’s what a businessman does."I turned back to the papers in front of me, the slight rustle of the documents filling the silence between us. Business was business. I didn’t make apologies for what was necessary.Jared crossed his arms, his face twisted in a mixture of disbelief and judgment. "But you do know how Faith will react if she finds out

BLAZEOne moment, I was watching Faith fade before my eyes, blood pooling beneath her, and the next, I was being forced out of the operating room, my hands still stained with her blood. The cold, sterile hallway was too bright, too silent, and yet it felt like the walls were closing in on me.My shoulder throbbed with every frantic breath I took, but I barely noticed. The only thing I could hear was the sound of my own pulse roaring in my ears, the memory of Faith’s weakened voice haunting me."Blaze, I—I can’t—"My hands curled into fists as I swallowed back the suffocating terror clawing at my throat.And then I heard hurried footsteps.“Blaze!” My mother’s voice rang out before I even saw her. She rushed toward me, her expensive heels clicking sharply against the floor, her face filled with a rare look of concern. My grandfather followed close behind, his ever-imposing presence looming as he took me in. “Are the babies alright?”I nodded stiffly, my voice hoarse. “Yeah. They’re… th
Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 142: Slipping Away
BLAZEFaith was smiling as she walked toward me, her soft white dress flowing gently with the breeze, her hands cradling the small curve of her belly. The golden glow of the fairy lights strung up in the trees cast a warm halo around her, making her look almost ethereal. God, she was beautiful.I leaned against the tree, arms crossed over my chest, the corners of my lips lifting at her fond exasperation. Of course, I wouldn’t be able to stay away from her baby shower, even if I wasn’t supposed to be here. She shook her head, her eyes glimmering with amusement as she approached. “Blaze, you are so silly,” she murmured, her voice holding a teasing lilt. “You just couldn’t sit still, could you?”I opened my mouth to respond, but then—I saw it.A shadow in the distance, shifting just slightly behind the decorated hedges. The glint of metal, barely catching the light. My stomach dropped.A gun.And it was pointed directly at Faith.Everything inside me went cold.Move. Now.Instinct kick

FAITHI stood there, watching Blaze’s pouting face, his eyes narrowing in exaggerated disappointment. His lips, usually so firm, curled into a playful frown, and I couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle at the sight. He was always so dramatic when things didn’t go his way, like a child who didn’t get their favorite toy."You really aren’t going to include me in any part of today’s occasion, are you?" Blaze said, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned against the doorframe of my bedroom. His voice was mockingly hurt, but there was a glint of humor in his eyes that softened the playful accusation.I smiled at him, shaking my head. "No, that's not the intention, Blaze. But, you know, it's just... a day where I kind of wish my mom was here."The words slipped out before I could stop them, and as soon as I said them, I felt a sudden lump in my throat. The weight of missing my mom, the one person who would’ve been here, who should’ve been here, hit me harder than I’d expected.Bla

BLAZEI was pouting.Not just pouting—full-on sulking.Elbows propped on my desk, fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished wood, I let out an exasperated sigh and leaned back against my chair, glaring at the laptop screen like it had personally offended me.The numbers on the project proposal meant nothing to me right now. The reports waiting for my review? Useless. The dozens of unread emails? Ignored.Because all I could think about was her.Faith.And the baby shower.And the absurd, utterly ridiculous fact that I wasn’t allowed to be there.It was my children. My girlfriend. And yet, I was supposed to just sit back and let everyone else celebrate without me? Where was the fairness in that?!I scowled and ran a hand through my hair in frustration, just as the door to my office swung open.Jared walked in, as casual as ever, holding a file under one arm and a cup of coffee in the other. His sharp eyes flicked toward me, immediately narrowing in suspicion. He knew me too wel

FAITHAs I lay back on my bed, still on the call with Mia and Reagan, a gentle knock came from my door."Come in," I called out and sat up, expecting one of the housemaids.Instead, it was Blaze.He stepped inside, shutting the door behind him, his sharp, assessing eyes landing on me before softening just slightly. Without a word, he walked over, slipping his arms around my waist from behind. His chin rested against my shoulder as he buried his face in my neck, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine.I tried to focus on the call, clearing my throat. "Listen, you guys can't come," I said, my voice firm. "They won’t allow it."Blaze hummed, pressing a slow, deliberate kiss against my neck. "What are you talking about?" he murmured against my skin.I bit my lip, trying to ignore the way his lips were brushing dangerously close to a sensitive spot. "My friends… they want to come over to plan my baby shower.""So invite them," he said casually.I scoffed. "Are you kidding? Your mom,
Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 138: Baby Shower?
FAITHFour months had passed, and yet, it still felt surreal—the life growing inside me, the late-night whispers, the stolen moments behind closed doors. But here we were, sitting at the long dining table, surrounded by family, acting like nothing had changed.The clinking of utensils and the occasional rustle of newspapers were the only sounds filling the silence. Breakfasts at the Weston estate were always like this—structured, quiet, disciplined. No unnecessary chatter. Everyone ate with precision, absorbed in their own thoughts.I sipped my juice, eyes darting toward Blaze, who sat across from me, seemingly unbothered, but I knew better. His fingers tapped rhythmically against his coffee cup, a habit I had come to recognize whenever he was deep in thought.Then, Grandfather cleared his throat. A simple gesture, yet it was enough to command everyone’s attention.“I’ve heard something about you two,” he started, his deep voice measured. He placed his utensils down with a quiet clink

FAITHThe city at night was different. The same streets I walked every day, the same buildings, the same sky—but they all looked softer now, bathed in golden lamplight and the occasional neon glow. I never realized how beautiful our city was, never took the time to simply breathe it in. Life had always been a rush, a never-ending list of tasks. But tonight? Tonight, I was finally just here.Blaze walked beside me, his hands tucked into the pocket of his hoodie, his expression thoughtful as he took in our surroundings. "Strange," he murmured."What is?" I asked, glancing up at him."I’ve only ever seen these streets from my car window. Never like this." He exhaled, almost amused. "It felt like a different world. A distant one."I smiled. "Isn’t it weird? We’ve lived here our whole lives, yet we’re seeing it properly for the first time. It’s funny how different we are... and yet, still the same."Blaze hummed in agreement before sighing dramatically. "Even so, I stand by the fact that s

FAITHThe sun was setting as we pulled up to the DIY Jewelry Making shop. I could already feel the excitement bubbling up inside me. I’d always wanted to try my hand at making jewelry, and now that I was finally here, I was practically bouncing in my seat. Blaze, on the other hand, looked calm as ever, but I could see the slight curiosity in his eyes.“So,” I said, turning to him with a grin, “we’re really doing this. Jewelry making. How do you feel about getting creative with some shiny things?”He glanced at me, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “I’m just here to keep you company, Faith. But I have to admit, I’m curious to see how this goes.”I beamed at him, feeling giddy. "I’m so excited! I’ve always wanted to do this. Imagine, I could make us matching necklaces, or better yet, something with a personal touch. It’ll be fun, I promise."We got out of the car and made our way inside. The moment we entered the store, I was greeted by the sweet scent of lavender and van

FAITHThe lunch was nothing short of delightful—surprisingly so, considering I had dragged Blaze out of his busy schedule for an impromptu date. But there we were, sitting across from each other at a cozy little bistro, the dim lighting setting the perfect mood for some easy conversation.Blaze leaned back in his chair, watching me with an amused glint in his eyes. “You know, you look incredibly beautiful when you’re eating.”I raised an eyebrow, a playful smile tugging at my lips. “Is that so?” I teased. “Do you always compliment people while they’re stuffing their faces?”He shrugged, the corner of his mouth lifting in that way that made me melt. “Only when I’m looking at someone as stunning as you.”I felt a warm flush creep up my neck, but I wasn’t about to let him have the upper hand. “Well, I guess I’m just lucky, huh? Getting compliments while eating? That must be some kind of record.”Blaze’s grin widened, and I swear I saw a hint of mischief in his eyes. “Oh, trust me, you’ve
