Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 39: Delusional!
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

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

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

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.

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

FAITHThe restaurant was bustling with life, the low hum of conversation and the clinking of cutlery filling the air. The elegant chandeliers cast a warm glow across the room, and the view from the top floor was absolutely breathtaking. Lights from the city below sparkled like scattered diamonds, making everything feel magical.Blaze and I were seated at a cozy table by the window, giving us the best vantage point to take it all in. I toyed with my fork, trying not to look as impressed as I felt.“This place is fancy,” I said, raising an eyebrow at Blaze. “I mean, who knew you had such exquisite taste?”He smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Exquisite taste? I’m pretty sure you picked this place, Faith.”I waved a hand dismissively. “Details. What matters is that you actually brought me here. I half-expected you to flake.”“Flake? Me?” Blaze put a hand to his chest in mock offense. “I’m hurt. You really think so little of me?”I gave him a teasing grin. “I don’t think little of you

FAITHBlaze’s lips crashed onto mine with a heat that stunned me into stillness. His hand, firm and steady, pressed lightly against the small of my back, holding me in place as his other arm braced against the wall beside my head. The kiss was brief, but it carried an intensity that sent sparks dancing along my skin. His lips were soft yet demanding, his touch igniting something deep within me that I hadn’t felt in a long time.For a moment, everything else disappeared. The tension in the air, the dim light of the stairwell, even the looming threat of Austin—all of it faded away. My hands found their way to Blaze’s chest, clutching at the fabric of his shirt as if to ground myself. I was lost in the warmth of him, in the way he tasted faintly of the wine we’d shared earlier, in the way his breath mingled with mine.Then, a sharp, irritated voice snapped me out of my trance.“Get a room, guys. What the hell?”Austin’s voice rang out, dripping with annoyance, as he brushed past us on

FAITHThe room seemed to shrink as everyone’s attention turned to the center of the drama. My hand tightened around Blaze’s arm, and he leaned closer to murmur, “Looks like your ex is about to have the night of his life.”“Shh,” I hissed, unable to look away.Austin’s face was a thunderstorm of rage, and his movements were erratic as he threw a handful of glossy photos onto the table in front of him.The pictures scattered like fallen leaves, and from where I stood, I could make out snippets of what they depicted—Reagan and Samuel, also known as Michael, in various settings.In one, they were seated across from each other at a dimly lit restaurant, Samuel leaning forward with a smile, Reagan looking like she was listening intently. In another, they were in the same car, parked in what looked like a secluded spot. There was one of them laughing together behind the campus building, her hand on his arm, and another in a parking lot, where Samuel was holding the car door open for her. No

Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 118: Bound By Nothing
BLAZEI strode through the hallways of the estate, my mind still burning with the conversation I had just left behind. The tension in my body hadn't eased, and every step I took only fueled the frustration simmering in my chest.But right now, none of that mattered.I needed to see Faith.I stopped in front of her room, my fingers curling into a fist as I knocked against the wooden door. “Faith?” My voice was firm but not demanding.Silence.I frowned, waiting a few more seconds before knocking again, this time a little louder. “Faith, are you awake?”

BLAZEThe drive home was long, and my mind never settled. My fingers tapped against my thigh, my thoughts shifting between the past hour and what lay ahead.Faith.I needed to see her. 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. I wanted to see her face, to hear her voice, to know that she was doin

BLAZEI stopped in my tracks, my jaw tightening. Slowly, I turned to look at Jared, my frown deepening.“Of course, it was him,” I said, my voice clipped, cold. “Who else would it be?”Jared raised an eyebrow, tilting his head slightly. “Well… you have a long list of enemies, so you never know. 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
Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 115: What if… not him?
BLAZEThe hallway was dark, the dim glow of the overhead lights barely casting enough illumination to cut through the shadows.My footsteps echoed against the cold, tiled floor, steady and unhurried. 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? Without security? Without even
Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 113: What was I Thinking?
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
Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 112: A Setup
BLAZEThis was a setup. A fucking trap.For her.My chair scraped against the marble floors as I shot up, my heartbeat slamming against my ribs.Jared, who was still standing nearby, frowned. “Blaze? 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
Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 111: Phone Broken!
BLAZEI walked through the office halls, my shoes tapping against the polished marble floors. 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
Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate Chapter 110: A Noon-Date Invitation?
FAITHI stood by the kitchen counter, absentmindedly stirring my tea as my mind replayed last night’s events. 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.
