Two Billionaire Brothers! and A Surrogate A Casual Fling
Judging by the mischievous smirk on his face, Cassie was sure he really meant to scare her a little.Before she could say anything else, he moved across the room, grabbing a paper towel on the way.“Here. You should wipe that off” he said, offering her the towel.“Thanks” As she slowly wiped the ice cream off her chest, he turned to the countertop and wiped it clean.They worked in silence, avoiding each other's eyes and every form of body contact.With her moment of relaxation ruined, she grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and headed for the door but he was quick to block her path.“Hey. Can we talk, please?” he asked, placing a hand across the countertop to block her from leaving.Oh, now he wanted to talk? After walking away like she meant nothing to him?She crossed her arms across her chest and threw him a nonchalant look.“What more do you have to say? I don't think we have anything else to talk about”Hurt flashed in his eyes but she looked away. If he was comfortable s

He tried to read the tension in the air but her blank face was revealing nothing. It was probably a bad idea to keep anything away from her.He shrugged and met her eyes“The bad news is that Frank and his men broke into your apartment last night”Her eyes widened and her jaws dropped open.“But the good news is that Maya is safe because she slept in a different apartment and the detectives have a good lead on Frank Jobs. They think they'll be ready to make an arrest soon” he quickly added.Her shoulders relaxed as he finished his explanation but the wary expression didn't leave her eyes.“Now, what?” She asked, her voice low.Zander maintained the smile on his face. “Now, we wait” Taking a seat on the couch behind him, he looked up at her.“There is someone I would like you to meet. He is the senior detective in charge of this case and he wants to speak with you” he said.As expected, she nodded eagerly.“Okay. When do we meet?” She asked, wringing her hands together.A habit he ha

(ONE MONTH LATER)As she sat in the waiting room, Cassie’s eyes fell on the art work hanging on the wall.It was the painting of a dark and cloudy day, lying side by side with a bright and sunny day in the same picture frame.How ironic, she thought, smiling to herself. It was funny that a simple painting could mirror her life so well.It has been a month since she finally got her freedom from Frank Jobs. He had been arrested and refused bail while the case was under investigation as he was considered very dangerous.She was finally free to breathe in her little world. She could take walks in a private park, attend public events and hang out with her sister without looking over her shoulder.There were no strange numbers calling her phone or weird notes on her doorstep. No one was sneaking around her car or her house, except for the usual pesky reporters.She was back to living her normal life. One, where she worked with Zander Scott so closely and yet he was so out of her reach.So c

Maya's blank stare didn't answer her question.“I really think that you should tell him about the pregnancy.” She said, her eyes pleading with Cassie to reconsider her decision.But Cassie shook her head.“I can't do that. It is really complicated”How could she explain that this was the consequence of some impulsive mistake? A mistake that shouldn't have happened.Crossing her arms over her chest, Maya fixed a hard stare on her.“Why do I even bother? You never listen to me anyway. In the end, this is your body and your choice to make. You can do whatever you like.”The words carried a subtle warning underneath. A way of telling her that this will definitely go wrong but she was going to wait until then to tell her “I told you so!”Cassie sighed deeply. At least her sister got one thing right. This was her choice alone and nobody has to force her into doing anything.“You know, I am even surprised that you're not asking me to get rid of this pregnancy. You hate Zander Scott” she said

She glanced back at the screen to see Cameron yelling at the door. With his shirt unbuttoned to the end and his pants sagging at the waist, he looked a total mess.“I cannot just leave him out there" she said to herself.Cassie ran a hand through her hair and punched in her passcode to unlock the door.Standing face to face with her, he stopped yelling and took a few steps towards her.The air was suddenly enveloped with the stench of alcohol which sent her reeling backwards.“My goodness, Cameron! How much did you actually have to drink?” Pulling him by the hand, she dragged him into the apartment.He staggered inside and crashed to the floor on her walkway, mumbling a load of rubbish while she stood staring at him.After a quick search, she couldn't find anything on him. No phones, no wallet, no car keys, nothing.“Did you walk here or something? What is wrong with you!?” Her voice grew louder with irritation.Cameron raised his head from the floor, a lopsided grin on his face.“W

Zander took one heavy step after another on the way to her apartment door, hyper aware of her presence behind him.His heart had flown into his mouth when he received her call, and as he zoomed through the highway with his bodyguard in hot pursuit behind him, he couldn't count how many prayers he sent up to the heavens for her safety.How could he sleep tonight with the picture of her scared eyes and trembling lips hovering in his head?Just hold my hand and stop me! He pleaded in his head. He couldn't bring himself to say those words to her. She wouldn't want him here.He placed one hand on the door handle and turned around to look at her face one last time.“Are you sure you will be okay alone? I can leave some guards here with you just to be sure” he said.What he really meant to say was that he wouldn't mind crashing on her couch just to keep her safe and to stay close to her.Big brown eyes gazed up at him and he fought hard to keep her eyes from traveling downward to those plump

(PRESENT DAY)“What do you mean by an extended vacation, girl? We have offers, contracts and possible collaborations lined up for the next 2 years at least!” Cassie winced at the irritation oozing from her manager's voice. Bringing up this conversation in the van, while on their way to a public event swimming with paparazzi was definitely not a good idea.“Are you going to at least give me a good reason why you want to do this right now? I mean, you can take an extended break by the end of next year if we plan properly” Jim continued.She sighed. By the end of next year, she should have gone through nine months of a very public pregnancy and her baby will have to be explained to the public and to her management!“I am sorry for bringing this up without warning you ahead, but something came up” she said, turning away to stare out of the tinted windows.The flashes of cameras were already visible in the distance. This conversation had to end if she wanted to get out of the car with a p

Get yourself together Cassie! No one will harm you here. She flinched at a soft pat on her shoulder and turned to see Jim peering at her. The curiosity in his gaze was burning a hole through her eyes.“Do you need to go outside and get some air?” He asked, nodding towards the doors leading to the balcony.She definitely needed some air but that meant leaving the event and going straight home, not hanging around the balcony.Frank's men could be lurking around anywhere.She shook her head.“No, I am fine. We will leave as soon as the ceremony is over. I won't stay for the after party” she said.Jim nodded and moved to the side, allowing her to mingle with other guests.The rest of the night was a slow, frustrating blur.As soon as the last speech was over, she was dashing through the exit doors towards her luxury van with the bodyguards and Jim following closely behind.The long ride home wasn't fast enough. As soon as they got to her apartment, she was out the door, racing to the ele

The sound of gunshots echoed in her dreams, forcing her eyes wide open. Clutching her stomach protectively, she tried to sit up but a sharp pain stabbed through her shoulders, forcing her backwards.Strong hands pushed back on her hands and she opened her eyes to see Zander staring into her face, his eyes filled with concern.With his rumpled shirt, ruffled hair and the dark circles under his eyes, he looked like he had not slept in days.“Where am I?” Cassie asked. Her hoarse voice sounded so strange in her ears.But one thing weighed heavily on her mind as the memories of the shooting flashed back to her mind.She clutched her stomach. It felt round and soft underneath the soft fabric of her hospital gown. She felt no pain on her belly.“My baby?.....” As the words left her mouth, she suddenly remembered that she had never told Zander. Her eyes flew to his eyes which remained fixed on her face. Did he watch the video? Did he know about the baby now?Zander nodded and as their eyes
Two Billionaire Brothers! and A Surrogate Is This The End?
The creaking sound of the light bulb dangling in the center of the empty room was the first thing Cassie heard when she woke up.Squinting to see clearly in the dimly lit room, she glanced to the side and sighed in relief to see Maya sprawled on the floor, deep asleep.She wasn't sure how long they'd been sleeping but everywhere was silent. A bodyguard sat by the door, wide awake and scrolling through his phone.Someone had loosened the ropes around her arms. The door suddenly burst open and Cameron stormed in with Frank following closely behind.Cassie sat up in the chair, her eyes and ears on full alert.What happened? Why was Cameron looking so angry?“I told you he would try something crazy, didn't I? My face is all over the news!” He yelled, banging his fist on the concrete wall.Her legs shook beneath her. The news? Frank suddenly turned to glare at her as if he had just remembered that she was in the room.“Your boyfriend seems to enjoy pissing me off huh?”She stared at him.
Two Billionaire Brothers! and A Surrogate Speed Things Up
The tension in the room was palpable as Frank and Cameron exchanged glances behind the scene.After a long pause, Frank turned back to the screen, an evil smile hovering on his face.“You have 30 minutes. If I call back in thirty minutes and you haven't granted my requests, then you will not see your woman ever again”The threat was loud and clear. The billionaire heir to one of the largest business empires in the country was being asked to choose between his inheritance and some random woman.Cassie blinked hard to keep the tears from rolling down her cheeks. She knew he couldn't see her from the video chat. They were keeping her as a last resort.She whimpered softly, watching the dread cloud his face as he nodded before the screen went blank.They were asking him to choose between her and his company? Frank gestured to one of his men who moved over to turn the camera towards her.“Now, you're going to read that letter to the camera for your little boyfriend” Frank ordered.She lif

She blinked again to be sure. “What…..what is this? Why?.....” She wasn't even sure which question to ask. He stopped a few feet from her and stood with his hands in his pockets, staring at her.She met his gaze and shivered at the icy look in his eyes. It almost felt like she didn't really know him anymore.The silence in the room was deafening. But not as loud as the pain of betrayal slicing through her ribs, squeezing the air from her lungs and leaving a trail of bitterness in her throat.Her eyes followed him as he lowered to a squatting position.“I am sorry, Cassie but I had no other choice….”She narrowed her eyes at him. What on earth did he mean by that?“What connects you to this….this man?” She blurted out, struggling to keep the tears from spilling over.“Why are you helping him?” She asked, throwing a quick glance in Frank's direction.Cameron sighed.“I just want to claim what is mine and Zander is standing in my way. He took you from me…..he has taken everything away
Two Billionaire Brothers! and A Surrogate The Exchange
(TWO DAYS LATER)“Do you think we are making a mistake?” Zander asked, glancing at the document in his hand.He watched silently as Stone typed rapidly on his computer, barely listening to the conversation.“I am sorry but I don't think Miss Cassie has the patience to wait.” Stone replied.Zander nodded and glanced again at the file in his hand. It has been barely 48hrs and even though Cassie appeared to be calm and following their instructions, he had just received an update from Jeffrey.“She has just sold her jewelry collection worth over 5 million dollars to a collector and was seen making trips to the bank in secret just this morning." Stone added.He had to agree. It was a suspicious move. She didn't trust him enough to wait and decided to take matters into her own hands.“You think she will pay the money?” He muttered.He already knew the answer. There was no sacrifice too big for Cassie to make for her sister.Could he blame her though? Would be have done anything different?

“He called again?” Zander asked, the disappointment clearly written all over his face.Cassie nodded, lowering her eyes. He ran a hand through his hair, barely concealing his frustration.“I am not surprised. I expected another call and that is why I left some of my men behind to keep an eyes on things….” Stone murmured.As he said the last part, he turned slowly to glare at the officers who quickly lowered their heads in shame.“Why did I leave you behind if you had to miss such an important update?” He scolded them.Cassie sighed. “It isn't their fault. They didn't know that I had a phone with me in the room and no one could have known when I woke up and took the call….”They had only found out that she was awake a few minutes ago, when the detective and Zander had returned. She caught an officer trying to stifle a yawn.They must have been awake all night.“What did he want? Did he make any demands?” Zander asked, breaking the awkward silence.Cassie’s head snapped up and her conv
Two Billionaire Brothers! and A Surrogate What If They Want Something Else?
Zander watched the gentle rise and fall of her chest in her sleep. It had taken a solid hour but eventually, the crying and sobbing finally pushed her to sleep. Stone hovered by the door, waiting to speak to him.He glanced at him and sighed deeply.If only he could just stay by her side while handling things. He desperately wished he could just watch her sleep and everything would be fine by morning.Another signal from Stone finally forced him to move away. He slid his hands from underneath her and let her body fall gently into the soft sheets, then covered her up and strolled to the door.“I don't think....." Stone began but Zander hushed him with a wave.“Shhhh...... she's finally sleeping." he whispered.He shut the door with a soft click behind them and pushed Stone ahead, far away from the door.“Alright. Go on..."“Well......we cannot do much right now...." Stone continued, his ice blue eyes barely hiding his frustration.Zander frowned. That wasn't what he was expecting to h
Two Billionaire Brothers! and A Surrogate Wait For Another Call
Cassie stood like a statue in her living room, barely listening to the bustling of officers moving from one point to another.Detective Stone stood like a general in command gesturing in different directions as they set up all kinds of equipment in her house.A gentle tap on her shoulder forced her out of her thoughts and she jumped in surprise.“Heyy" Zander whispered.“It's just me. How are you holding up?" he asked, his kind eyes peering into her face.She barely had it together. All it would take to crush her right now was a any bad news about her sister. But she plastered a weak smile on her face and turned to him.“I am good"His brows twisted for a second and the doubt crossed his eyes but he pursed his lips. She glanced around at her living room. Stone and his men had converted it into a control room of some sorts with monitors and strange devices she couldn't recognize.Zander moved away from her and drew closer to the detective but she followed closely behind him, her ears

Cassie tried hard not to let her eyes follow Jim as he paced from one end of the office to another.“Come on, Jim. You're going to punch holes in the floor with all that pacing” He turned to her with a pout and rubbed his forehead in frustration.“Easy for you to say, superstar. You're not the one who's going to reject all those juicy deals and watch money move from our hands to another's pockets”She shook her head. It was even more painful for her to think about all the money she was going to lose but she had to think about her baby first.Jim stopped pacing to look at her.“You are really not going to tell me why you need this urgent break?” He asked, his curious eyes searching her face.She lowered her head to avoid his eyes. It wasn't fair that she wouldn't give him any good reasons for her actions but Jim was always kind and understanding, so he wouldn't push for answers anyway.“I don't think you'll understand, Jim. I really need a break to sort out something personal” she rep
