Who are you wearing tonight, Cassie!”“Tell us more about this relationship. Are you officially dating now?”Like they owed these people an explanation. She focused on keeping herself from tripping in the ridiculous heels Cameron had insisted that she wear for the occasion.They finally made it to the picture stand and she cringed as his hands moved to her waist s they posed for pictures.Smiling at the camera, he leaned in and whispered into her ears in a low voice“You can at least try to pretend that you're happy for me.

Zander nodded with satisfaction as Jeffrey rounded up his status report for the month. He looked around with pride at the formidable team he had assembled to rebuild and rebrand his company.“Thank you very much, Jeffrey, for a comprehensive and encouraging status report. I had expected this plan to be successful but you and your team have done wonderful work in record time”He had almost lost hope but thanks to his mother's advice, he ignored the noise from the media and focused on rebuilding.“We are not back to where we should be as one of the top construction and luxury jewelry brands in the country but we are getting there.”“Can we release a statement to the media concerning our new collection?” Jeffrey asked.Zander considered the idea for a moment and took a quick glance around the table. From the look on their faces, everyone was apprehensive.He knew they were scared to be under public scrutiny once again.“We took a major hit in public. It is only right that we make a big

Cassie's heart twisted in her chest, threatening to squeeze the air from her lungs. “So the rumors are true? You are really seeing someone else?” Cameron didn't respond. “Answer me!” It was taking everything in her to avoid yanking him by his shirt. She could already see the headlines on the blogs and the several mocking comments from the public.Cassie Barns, the newbie that didn't do her research before jumping into a billionaire playboy’s arms.Cameron finally lifted his head from his palm and looked straight at her.She was expecting to see the guilt in his eyes but instead, she was met with an annoyed frown.“I can't believe you are doing this”Wait, what?She frowned in confusion. “What are you saying, Cameron? Why would you do this to me?”He raised his hand to cut her off, looking even more irritated “I do not know why you are accusing me of such nonsense. I never said that I was cheating on you”“But…”“Women are so quick to jump into conclusions. You did not wait to he

“Come on, Zee. It's been weeks already and you have not given me a response yet”Dr. Kim gave him a worried look and he lowered his gaze to avoid her curious eyes.“I am sorry, Auntie. I have just been so busy with work. I will look through the list and get back to you in a few days”She adjusted the rim of her glasses and stared at him suspiciously“You already gave that excuse a hundred times, Zander. This is the time to tell me what exactly is going on.”“I have told you, I am busy” He was lying through his teeth and they both knew it.“You must be building a new pyramid in Egypt then. I know you well enough Zee and I don't believe that crap. Is there a problem with the candidates?”He might as well give up his diversion tactics. It was clearly not working on his Aunt.“Oh no! I have had the time to read through their profiles and they're great… amazing actually. It's just that…”He paused. What exactly was his reason for not picking a candidate again? Did he even have a specific

A new fashion brand had just presented her with a mouthwatering deal and she could feel the tension in the room as everyone waited for her comments.“So….what do you think, Queen B? Do you like the deal?” Her manager asked, barely containing his excitement.She lifted her face to take a quick look around the room. Everyone was holding their breath as they awaited her verdict.“Just so you know, we think this is an amazing deal but we will proceed until you give the go ahead”“I am hoping you like our terms and our offer” the brand representative added.Like? She loved it! She had her PR coach to thank for her self control because this was enough to send her jumping on the table with joy.Maintain your composure girl! She cautioned herself. Don't let them see all that excitement.She waited a little longer for the right amount of suspense and then blessed everyone with a big smile.“Like?

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

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

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
