Two Billionaire Brothers! and A Surrogate Bumping into You
(PRESENT DAY)The knock on her door wouldn't stop. Cassie woke up feeling like she had run a marathon in her dreams. “I am so tired”. She sat up in her bed and looked around the room. Her head was spinning.The knock came again breaking through her hazy thoughts and forcing her wide awake “Ma’am! Miss Cassie!” She recognized Jeffrey’s voice. “Please come in!” she called out. She tried to stand and the wave of nausea hit her with force.She ran into the bathroom just as Jeffrey walked into the room. “Ma’am it is time for….” He paused staring at the bathroom as the sound of her vomiting echoed in the large room.“Do you need help Miss?” He asked unsure of what to do.She rinsed her mouth first and walked out of the bathroom, making sure to wrap her robe around herself tightly.“No Jeffrey. I am alright” she replied. She watched him expectantly.Realizing that he had not explained his presence in her room, Jeffrey shifted uncomfortably “Ummm….it is time for your morning gym ses

Cassie tried to avoid turning around to steal glances at him as he pounded at the sack furiously. She glanced at him again as she worked on the treadmill. He was hurriedly pulling off his loose shirt. The sight of toned abs and his large biceps took her by surprise.“Oh” she gulped and missed her step on the machine.“Are you okay ma'am?” The instructor asked, reaching out to steady her on the treadmill.She nodded, her cheeks turning bright red with embarrassment. “Yeah”He didn't even flinch or notice them. She stood, mouth open staring at him.Her instructor stood watching her, puzzled.His back and chest glistened with sweat. He only stopped for a few seconds to adjust the wrap around his fingers and then continued to pound at the hanging sack.Probably sensing that he was being watched, he turned around suddenly to face them. “Uhmm” Cassie cleared her throat and looked around the gym, smoothing her hair nervously with her hands.When she eventually found her courage and turne

Cameron’s smile was filled with mischief. He looked around the office and faced his brother with a smirk. “This office still looks the same. Boring” Zander ignored his comment. “Cameron Scott” Cameron chuckled softly “In the flesh!”Zander scoffed and walked towards his bar. He poured himself a drink and turned to Cameron who had not moved from the spot.“Are you done touring the whole of Europe? Are you sure you've met all the beautiful women yet?” He teased.“Oh absolutely not! But I had to cut my trip short. I hear we have more interesting business at home” Cameron replied, his curious eyes watching Zander's face closely.Zander gave him a knowing smile and picked up an empty glass “Care for a Drink?”“Sure”“Whiskey, scotch, wine…”“None of that soft stuff. Whiskey please” Zander knew that despite his playful attitude, Cameron was always fishing for information. He poured another glass of whiskey and walked towards his brother with the glass.He had not seen his brother in

Cassie could sense the tension in the room as she walked in. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves and clutched at her long red dress. “I thought we might have to pull you to this place with a string young lady” an older lady she could tell was Zander's mother scolded her from the table. All eyes were on her. She felt like a sheep walking into a den of lions. She mumbled an apology under her breath hoping it was heard and walked to the seat that had her name on it. She found herself sitting right next to Zander who didn't even say a word to her. He turned and scanned her from head to toe, then gave a simple nod of satisfaction.She sank into the seat and stared at her plate, wishing that the dinner was over.Zander cleared his throat and addressed everyone calmly “Well…I suppose we are all here now. This is Cassie Barns, the surrogate carrying my child…Laurie's child.”Zoe scoffed, eyeing Cassie in disgust. She didn't bother to hide the irritation in her eyes. “She is a str

Cassie ran into her room leaving Jeffrey and the security men outside. She quickly banged the door in their face, ignoring Jeffrey’s attempt to ask if she was doing okay.She slid to the floor with her back to the door and broke down in tears.“What did I do to deserve this?”“You are Nothing!” Zander's mother's voice echoed again in her head.Her body shook violently as she sobbed, wrapping her arms around herself. She cried until her body felt like it would collapse from exhaustion. Her phone started to ring, breaking through her thoughts. She glanced at the caller ID but it wasn't a saved number. She ignored it, swiping at the screen furiously to stop the call.Her mind went back to the events of the last hour. She had not expected any grand welcome but she didn't expect the hostility either.A little coldness would have been understandable but this was shocking. If Jeffrey had not intervened when he did, she would have been physically assaulted or worse.She couldn't understand w

“You were right Linda” Cassie sat with Linda in her kitchen, watching her chop vegetables. She had managed to find a silly reason to leave the mansion since Jeffrey and Zander were away on a business trip.“Rich people are different,” she continued.Her mind replayed the events of the family dinner again and she pushed them away, forcing herself to focus on the small bowl of ice cream in front of her. Linda watched her silently as she played around with her spoon, managing a few scoops of the vanilla and banana flavored ice cream.“I thought you loved Vanilla and banana” Cassie had the same question on her mind. This was usually her favorite flavor. She has even craved them so badly the week before. “It is my favorite but…I don't know, I just don't want it anymore” Cassie replied pushing the bowl away.Linda smiled, reaching out to take away the bowl of rejected ice cream. “You really are pregnant Cassie”Cassie looked up at her in confusion and she quickly explained.“The wild

Everyone in the kitchen froze except Cassie who was confused. She took a quick look around her and realized that the warm smiles on their faces had been replaced by terror.She slowly stood from her seat and stood watching Zoe who stood at the door in gym wear glaring at them.“What are you doing here?” Zoe asked, not bothering to hide her anger.Cassie smelt trouble brewing but she couldn't come up with a good escape plan. Zoe was standing at the door and she couldn't leave.“I was hungry so…” she began Zoe scoffed, staring her down from head to toe.“And what? You think you can walk in here and order our staff around?!” she asked, furiously.“No! No! I just wanted something to eat” Cassie replied meekly, staring at the floor.“The nerve of this bitch! How dare you?!” Zoe yelled.Cassie knew she had to leave. She didn't understand why Zoe was mad at her but she wasn't sure she wanted to find out in this situation.She hurriedly grabbed the cup of hot chocolate in one hand and the s

Out of reflex, his arms went around her in an attempt to hold her up and stop her from hitting his chest with full force. The scent of flowers, vanilla and chocolate hit him all at once, overpowering his senses and leaving him frozen for a minute.What is this feeling? He couldn't bring himself to pull away. He towered over her and her smallish, warm body fit perfectly in his arms.She looked up at him and the look in her eyes finished the deal. He was knocked senseless, unable to form words or move. This wasn't right. “Oh God!”Did she say something? Her voice was barely above a whisper. She suddenly jerked away from him and he was shocked at the tiny regret he felt as soon as her warm body cut contact with his.He swallowed, suddenly regaining his power of speech. This was stupid. Why did an accidental hug affect him so badly? “You should watch where you're going” he blurted out, hating how cold he sounded.His eyes were stuck on her face. He hadn't realized how beautiful her e

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
Two Billionaire Brothers! and A Surrogate He Has My Sister!
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
