FAITH

It was almost too perfect.

I crouched behind a sleek black sedan in the university parking lot, peering out cautiously. 

Reagan had just stepped out of her convertible, her heels clicking sharply against the pavement as she strutted across the lot like she owned the place. She paused when she saw Michael—or rather, Samuel.

Michael had insisted on the whole “twin brother” plan, and to my surprise, it was working like a charm. 

Samuel Warner, research assistant extraordinaire, had conveniently appeared just when Reagan needed someone new to sink her claws into.

“Hey,” Reagan called out, her voice carrying that si

    FAITHI rushed to Blaze’s office, my heart racing as I replayed his urgent tone in my mind. Whatever was going on, it was serious enough to pull me out of my day.The building was sleek and modern, all glass walls and polished floors, a far cry from the chaos of campus. I stepped into the lobby, feeling slightly out of place in my casual outfit compared to the sharply dressed professionals milling about.The receptionist, a meticulously put-together woman with a sharp bob and an even sharper gaze, looked up as I approached. Her expression turned from neutral to disdainful in record time.“Can I help you?” she asked, her tone clipped.I hesitated for a moment before answering, “I am here to see Blaze. He called me about an emergency.”Her brow arched skeptically, and she looked me over like I was some lost freshman who’d wandered in by mistake. “Do you have an appointment?”“No, but he—”“Mr. Weston,” she interrupted, emphasizing his last name like I was a child who needed reminding

    FAITHThe room was a cacophony of blinking monitors, the hum of servers, and the faint, sterile scent of technology. My fingers flew across the keyboard, the glow of the screen reflecting on my face as lines of code and error messages blurred into an indecipherable mess.Behind me, Blaze paced like a caged lion, his energy taut with frustration. “What’s going on?” he asked, his voice slicing through the quiet urgency of the cyber room.I didn’t look up, my focus locked on the screen. “It’s malware,” I said, my tone clipped as I clicked through logs and protocols. “Sophisticated stuff, too. It’s embedded itself in your system and is actively copying sensitive data—employee details, financial records, client contracts. It’s all being extracted in real-time.”Blaze stopped pacing, his eyes narrowing. “Is it random, or…?”“It’s not random,” I interrupted, shaking my head. “This kind of malware doesn’t just show up out of nowhere. It’s precise, targeted. Someone placed it here on purpose

  • Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate   Chapter 38: A Photo

    FAITHThe hallway was eerily quiet as I stepped out of the cyber room, my heart still pounding from the adrenaline of the battle we’d just fought. Blaze’s retreating figure was just ahead, his long strides eating up the distance toward the elevator. Without thinking, I followed him.“Blaze!” I called out, but he didn’t stop.When he reached the elevator, the doors slid open, and he stepped in. I quickened my pace and slid in just before the doors closed behind me. He stood with his back to me, his shoulders tense and his hands gripping the railing inside the elevator.“Blaze,” I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper. “What’s wrong?”Before I could say more, he turned suddenly, his arms wrapping around me in a crushing hug. I froze, my breath caught in my throat. The sheer force of his emotions radiated through his grip, and for a moment, I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak.His head dipped slightly, his breath warm against my shoulder as he held me close. The silence stretched

    FAITHCuriosity bubbled up inside me, and without overthinking, I held the photo up to Blaze. “Who is she?”Blaze didn’t even glance up from whatever he was doing. “Probably some interview candidate or something,” he said dismissively.I frowned, studying the photo again. “No, this isn’t just some random picture. It’s laminated, Blaze. Look at it.”At my insistence, he finally looked up. The second his eyes landed on the photo, his entire demeanor shifted. His posture stiffened, and his eyes widened in surprise, maybe even alarm.“What is that picture doing here?” he muttered under his breath before striding over and snatching it out of my hand.I blinked at his abruptness but couldn’t help the teasing smile that crept onto my lips. “Ooh, is that your ex?”Blaze’s jaw tightened as he crumpled the photo in his hand and unceremoniously tossed it into the dustbin. “Doesn’t matter,” he said flatly.I raised an eyebrow, folding my arms across my chest. “Doesn’t matter?” I echoed, my voice

  • Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate   Chapter 40: Morning Sickness

    FAITHThe soft glow of morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm golden hue across my bedroom. I blinked groggily, trying to piece together where I was and what time it was.My gaze shifted, and my breath caught slightly when I saw Blaze beside me. He was sitting upright, his back resting against the headboard, his head tilted to one side, and his eyes closed in what seemed to be an unusually peaceful sleep.It wasn’t a sight I was used to—Blaze looking so... relaxed. His usual sharp edges seemed to soften in the morning light, and I found myself admiring the way his jawline caught the sunlight and the way his chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm.‘How does someone look this perfect even while sleeping?’ I thought, shaking my head at my own musings.Suddenly, a wave of nausea surged through me, pulling me violently from my thoughts. My stomach churned, and I barely had time to swing my legs over the bed before I bolted for the bathroom.The moment I reached th

  • Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate   Chapter 41: Car Rides and Awkward Vibes

    FAITHThe car hummed along the road, sunlight streaming through the windows as I leaned back in my seat, my head bobbing slightly to the beat of the music. The warm rhythm of our favorite song filled the space, and I smiled.“Mike!” I called out, my voice light with excitement. “Blast our favorite song!”Michael, sitting up front, gave a small nod and turned the volume up. The familiar melody spilled out of the speakers, and I couldn’t help but start humming along. I recently started calling him ‘Mike’ because I bonded really well with him. “Mike, this is it!” I said, swaying in my seat. “Come on, sing with me!”But when I glanced at Michael through the rearview mirror, he wasn’t joining in. His eyes darted briefly from the road to me and then shifted uneasily to the side.I frowned, my vibe thoroughly interrupted. Turning my head, I followed his gaze to Blaze, who sat beside me, arms crossed and looking like he’d rather be anywhere else.“It’s all because of you,” I said, narrowin

  • Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate   Chapter 42: Ghost of Past

    FAITHThe sound stopped me in my tracks—a sad, haunting melody that seemed to float through the corridor like a ghost. The soft yet deliberate notes of a piano filled the air, each one carrying a weight of unspoken pain. I felt the music reach inside me, tugging at emotions I couldn’t quite name. It was the kind of tune that made the world seem quieter, slower, as if it demanded your full attention.My curiosity drew me toward the source. Peeking through the door of the music club, I found the room dimly lit, the air tinged with an almost sacred stillness. At the piano sat a figure I recognized instantly, even from behind.His chestnut curls fell slightly over his neck, catching the faint light. His broad shoulders, tense but steady, moved subtly with the rhythm of his playing. Austin’s fingers glided over the keys, his touch tender but deliberate, like he was pouring his soul into every note.I stepped inside, the sound of my footsteps almost nonexistent against the wooden floor.

  • Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate   Chapter 43: You look…Wow…

    FAITHI scoffed, rolling my eyes as I crossed my arms, trying to ignore the unsettling feeling Austin had left behind. “No, obviously not. How stupid do you think I am?” I gave Blaze a sharp look, a frown tugging at my lips. I wasn’t about to let him think for a second that I’d actually fall for Austin’s nonsense again.Blaze leaned back in his chair, relieved, and let out a sigh. “Phew, you better not be. I don’t want my child to get those stupid genes either.” His smirk softened the teasing edge, but I still shot him a glare, even if it didn’t quite reach my heart.“Ugh, whatever,” I muttered, rolling my eyes. “I know not to get back together with an ex just because he says a few sweet words. It doesn’t change what he did.”Blaze nodded in agreement, his arms folding across his chest as he leaned forward, his tone growing serious. “Exactly. He’s trash. You deserve way better than that.”A small smirk tugged at my lips, the feeling of vindication bubbling up inside me. “I know, rig

To check on her. To remind myself that she was okay, that she was safe.But as soon as I stepped inside the house, a servant approached me, bowing his head slightly before speaking. “Sir, your grandfather has requested to see you.”I exhaled slowly, my jaw tightening.Of course.I wanted to go to Faith first.

It could be anyone.”I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. He wasn’t wrong. Over the years, I had built up a solid list of people who would love nothing more than to see me suffer. Competitors in business, people I

The air was thick, heavy, humming with tension, each step pulling me deeper into the darkness.I didn’t rush.I wanted to savor this moment.Jared was already waiting for me at the end of the corridor, his expression blank, his stance rigid. His hands were clasped behind his back, his jaw set, but I knew him well enough to catch the slight stiffness in his shoulders—the barely perceptible sign that he was on edge.Good.He should

    FAITHJessica’s heels clicked sharply against the hospital floor as she marched toward me, her arms crossed, her face set in a deep scowl. Her usual pristine elegance was overshadowed by anger, her piercing gaze burning into me.I barely had time to process her words before she continued, her tone sharp, cutting.“You put yourself in danger—worse, you put the baby in danger! What kind of reckless, thoughtless behavior is that?” she snapped, her eyes blazing.I blinked, still dizzy, my mind struggling to keep up. “I… I didn’t—”“And for what?” she cut me off. “To go to some unknown restaurant?

    FAITHI woke up to the steady beeping of a monitor and the feeling of something cool pressed against my face. My body felt heavy, my limbs weak, my head pounding as though a thousand hammers were striking against it.I blinked against the harsh fluorescent light, my vision blurry, my throat raw and burning.Where was I?I tried to move, but something was strapped to my face—an oxygen mask. Panic stirred in my chest as I took a shallow, raspy breath, the memory of thick smoke and unbearable heat flashing in my mind.The fire.I inhaled too fast, coughing violently, my ribs aching with each sharp motion. A sharp pain shot through my chest, making me wince.A soft, familiar voice broke through the haze.“Take it easy, Miss. You’re in the hospital.”I turned my head slightly to see a doctor standing beside my bed, his expression calm but serious. He was flipping through a chart, his glasses slightly askew.Hospital.I was alive.I tried to speak, but my throat was too dry, too raw.The do

What’s wrong?”I didn’t answer. I was already moving.Jared cursed under his breath and followed. “Damn it, what’s going on?”I stormed out of the office, my mind spinning, panic clawing up my throat. “Faith—she’s in danger. Someone tricked her into going to La Vigna.”Jared’s face paled. &l

The buzz of employees surrounded me—keyboards clacking, hushed conversations, phones ringing.Everything was running as it should be. Efficient. Smooth. Controlled. Just the way I liked it.I nodded in acknowledgment as I passed by different departments, checking in on progress reports, offering a few words of encouragement where needed. It was a routine I had done countless times before, yet today, my mind was elsewhere.Faith.I had plans for tonight. Something simple, nothing extravagant—just something to make her happy. She had been through too much, and if I could bring he

My chest felt warm, my heart fluttering, my lips still tingling from his kiss.Blaze.Just the thought of his name sent my pulse racing, my cheeks heating up. I closed my eyes, my fingers curling around the mug, the memory of his touch, his lips, his voice echoing in my mind. I could still feel his warmth, his strength, his presence…“Good morning!”I jolted, nearly spilling my tea as Kristen’s voice echoed through the kitchen. I looked up, my heart pounding, my face flushing as I met her curious gaze.
