Two Billionaire Brothers! and A Surrogate Congratulations or Whatever
As she neared Cameron's door, the sound of muffled voices could be heard coming from the room.They sounded like they were in the middle of an argument.“Well, no surprises there” she thought aloud.It was probably a good idea to walk into the room and interrupt whatever madness Brenda was up to this time.As she was about to turn the door handle, the sound of crashing glass stopped her in her tracks.Cameron's voice - “That is enough! All you do is stand by the side and watch me do all the work. I won't take any more insults from you!”Brenda - Scoffs “You are simply useless. Yes! Smash as many glasses as you want but it will not change anything!”Cameron - “Useless? That is rich coming from a failed escort. What do you know about making money and building empires?”Brenda - “Well, at least I can recognize a failure when I see one! You had one job and you couldn't even get it done right!”Cameron - Sighs heavily “I listened to your advice and stepped away from the company. I didn't e

She quickly dialed Maya's number and switched to loud speaker as she tried to dress up.“Hey!” Maya's voice sounded cracked on the phone.Cassie put on her robe and settled on the bed.“Hey superstar! What's going on?”Maya - “You have not seen the news on the blogs?”Cassie frowned. What was it this time?Cassie - Sighs “No, I haven't. I have been too busy. What is it?”Maya - Sighs heavily “Cassie, you should check out the blogs now. The Internet is on fire. Some gossip blogs just broke a new story about Cameron”Well, that was enough to get Cassie's attention. She logged into her social media account immediately feeling the panic rush through her.Cassie - “What gossip blogs? Is it bad? What did they say?” Maya - Small pause “Umm…something about him and some model hooking up in Mexico. Everyone seems to have seen them together at a couple of night clubs. Do you know anything about this?”Everything came to a stand still. Cassie's fingers froze over her screen. The girls in the bat

Zander slumped into the soft sofa and shut his eyes for a moment.He was just coming from a heated meeting with his board members and felt like his head will split open from the headache.“I have some important news, Sir…”“God Jeffrey! Can a man get a break over here?” He groaned in frustration, squeezing his eyes shut.Jeffrey chuckled but kept talking “I think you really need to see this, Sir. You can rest after that”Zander forced his eyes open and stood from the sofa. He knew that Jeffrey wouldn't leave until he had delivered this important news.“Alright, Jeffrey. Let's hear it”He headed for his desk and searched for some pills to handle his headache.Jeffrey cleared his throat and began calmly“Our team has just turned in the report from their investigation. We have discovered the identity of the secret CEO of Kings group of companies.”Zander glanced at Jeffrey in surprise “You were doing your own research? I was expecting an update on that issue from my private investigat

Zander felt all the anger vanish in a second. “What did you just say?” His hands were already forming a fist beside him ready to punch the words out of Cameron's mouth.“I am pretty sure that you heard me clearly. Cassie did not lose the baby by accident. She didn't try to terminate the pregnancy either. Bella and Zoe got the job done right under your roof!”A scuffle outside the door told him that his bodyguards were trying their best to keep Cameron's security men from coming into the room.The two men glanced at the door and waited until the scuffle was over.When the door didn't burst open, it was clear that Zander's men had won the fight.Cameron turned back to him with a sneer“It is just like you to barge into my office and cause such a ruckus”“You had better start talking if you don't want to sleep in your office building tonight”Cameron laughed at the threat“Don’t be mad at me, big brother. I was just a bystander!”“I don't even know why I am listening to this crap. You'

“Are you going to take his calls or not?” Maya asked, jerking her neck at the phone vibrating non stop between them.They were seated in the backseat of Cassie's car and were pulling up into the venue of a fashion show.Cassie ignored the question and turned to the window. She had been avoiding Cameron's calls all week and she didn't intend to pick it tonight.Maya glanced at the phone again and sighed in exasperation “Okay come on, Cassie! He has been calling ever since I arrived at your place. It is very clear that you are fighting over something. I don't even know what it is!”“Let him call. I am not ready to talk to him” Cassie replied calmly.“Will you at least tell me what this is about this time? Are you still angry with him over the Mexico incident?”Cassie was irritated at how casual her sister's voice sounded.She glanced at her in annoyance “Mexico incident? He had his pictures all over the internet doing crazy stuff with some strange woman and you call it a mere incident

She glanced around and couldn't find a route of escape. “Maybe, I should start walking then” It was a silly plan because the reporters would catch up with her very quickly. “Where on earth is Maya?” She was about to start heading for the gates when she realized that her heels would be a hindrance. “Ughh!” She bent down to pull undo the straps and pull them off when a car suddenly pulled up in front of her. The windows rolled down and she looked in to see Zander sitting behind the steering wheel. “Get in” He took one look at her heels and glanced behind her to remind her of the reporters already drawing closer. She hesitated for a minute and jumped into the car. Zander drove away just as the first reporter made it to the front of the building. They drove in silence for a while before she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She glanced at him and noticed the firm set of his jaw as he focused on the road. “Thank you” He swallowed and nodded stiffly but didn't say anything i

“Fine” Zander replied in defeat.At least, she didn't throw him a punch in response. He opened the door to the front passenger seat for her but she ignored him and entered the back seat of the car instead.Swallowing the stabbing pain of rejection, he got into the driver's side and drove her home in silence.She only spoke once, giving him clear directions to her house.As he pulled up in front of the building, he turned to say something but she was already heading out of the car as if she couldn't stand one more minute in his presence.He watched her sadly as she disappeared through the doors and it took another thirty minutes before he could bring himself to get the car started and headed back to his house.A message appeared on his phone screen from Bella“Are we still on for dinner? You postponed the last time”He scoffed. It had almost skipped his mind. He reached for his phone and dialed Jeffrey's number.“Sir? I have been trying to reach you all night. You suddenly disappeared

Maya barged into the apartment like a thunderstorm.She took one panicked look at Cassie who was lounging casually on the sofa with a cup of coffee and totally lost it.“Where have you been, Cassie?! I nearly lost my mind last night, looking for you!”Cassie took one look at her and turned back to her coffee.It was a good thing that she didn't bother to charge her phone when she returned to her house the night before. At least, she got a good night's sleep.“Good morning to you too, Maya. When exactly did you start searching for me last night? After staying back to soothe Cameron's temper or much later?”Maya stared at her in disbelief “Are you being serious right now? Do you know the kind of mess you've made? Everyone is going crazy!”Everyone but Cassie Barns. She had not checked her socials yet but it didn't matter. From where she stood, all was fine. For once in her life, she will only look out for herself.“It is nice to see how much you care about me, Maya.”Maya paused her ra

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
