“Umm, I’m sorry?” Eloise asked, giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Alina crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“Don’t act innocent now. I know why you’re doing all of this—you want Vaughn’s money. And I won’t be surprised if you want him too.”

Eloise frowned.

“For all you know, Vaughn was the one who proposed all of this. I agreed because I needed the money. But don’t forget that you need the baby too,” she countered.

Alina’s face became red, and she seemed not to know how to refute Eloise’s statement.

“I don’t care how your deal was made,” she said. “All I know is that you better not come between the two of us. I didn’t work this hard for our relationship just for a beggar like you to come and ruin it.”

Eloise sighed in disbelief. She was about to respond when Vaughn came back.

The cunning look on Alina’s face suddenly turned sweet, and she wrapped her arms around his biceps, leaning against him while smirking at me.

“Let’s go?” she asked him, very in contrast with how she

Feel free to skip to chapter 12 if you are a minor or if you're uncomfortable with such scenes. “You’re going to have sex with her?” Alina exclaimed as she sat up from the bed. Vaughn sighed. “The doctor said it’ll be the fastest way to get her pregnant,” he said. “I already told my parents that Eloise is pregnant, so this is the easiest bet." Alina glared at him. “Why can’t we just continue with this artificial process? Can’t your parents wait a little more?” “I want to continue it that way, too, babe,” he said, rubbing her back. “But I’m afraid it would take too long.” “Whatever,” she muttered under her breath. “You’re not going to have sex with that woman. She’s only using you for your money, you know? And I can’t share you with anyone else!” Alina was enraged…furious, even. She didn’t like the idea of Vaughn being with anybody else but her. He massaged his temples. “It will just be a one-time thing,” he sa

    Eloise was woken up by the sound of a familiar voice. Still sore from the night before, she limped out of bed and trudged to the living room to find the source of the noise. She frowned when she heard Alina coming from Vaughn’s room. When did she get here?She went closer to Vaughn’s room and saw that his room was a bit ajar, which was suspicious since he always made sure to lock his door whenever Eloise was around. As she got closer, Alina’s voice became louder, and at that moment, Eloise discovered that the two of them weren't just speaking. Instead, she was moaning. Eloise knew what they were doing the moment Alina moaned Vaughn’s name. And she also knew that she shouldn’t have peaked inside. Yet, she still did.Like a masochist, she peeped inside the room and saw Alina right on top of Vaughn, appearing to have the best time of her life. She remembered what happened the night before—when she was in the same position as Alina right now.It hurt more than she had expected, a

    “I heard your boyfriend got a new girlfriend,” Amy said as she looked at Alina. Alina raised her eyebrows. “Where did you hear about that?” “It’s the talk of the town!” she exclaimed. “Word has it that she’s really pretty.” Alina’s jaw clenched as she took a drink of her vodka. “She’s not that pretty,” she denied. “And they’re not together. Vaughn and I just fucked yesterday night.” “Then who’s the new girl?” “Eloise,” she muttered under her breath. “Don’t tell anyone about this, okay?” Amy nodded her head. “She’s trying to conceive a child for Vaughn and I.” Amy gasped. “What? A surrogate? And that’s okay with you?” “He’s going to inherit his parents’ company right after. Their condition is that he has his own family before he could inherit the company.” “Why didn’t you just carry your own child?” Alina scoffed. “Do you want me to ruin my body and my career? I can’t become pregnant. I already got this far.” “But what will you do when Vaughn casts you aside for

    Vaughn looked at the time and sighed. The party already started, yet he had just arrived. He originally told Alina that he wouldn’t be able to make it to her birthday party, but his meeting ended earlier than expected, so he decided to come. He arrived at the yacht at around 10 PM, still in his suit. He removed his tie and undid some of the buttons on his suit before going out. The party he paid for was in full blast as he arrived. The people looked over his way and pointed at him in amazement. He saw Alina’s friend, Amy, and held onto her arm. “Where’s Alina?” he asked. “Vaughn?” Amy asked, surprised. Alina mentioned to her that he wouldn’t be coming. As a result, she wanted to let loose and flirt a bit with other guys. Right now, Alina's probably making out with somebody else. “She’s…somewhere,” she trailed off, escaping from Vaughn. She quickly went to her friend and informed her about his boyfriend’s arrival. “What?” Alina exclaimed, getting off a random guy's lap.

    Why now? This is the only statement that Eloise could think of as she stared at the positive pregnancy test sitting on the counter. She raked her hands through her hair and wondered what would happen now. Should she tell Vaughn about it right away? Or shall she wait a little bit? Before she could even think of an answer, her phone lit up with Vaughn as the caller. “Vaughn?” she said, her voice immediately turning hopeful. “Is Alina still there?” he asked. She felt disappointed that the first thing he asked about was Alina. “I think so,” she said, trying to sound as neutral as possible. “Good,” he said. “Tell her that I’ll pick her up later for dinner. She’s not picking up her phone.” She pursed her lips together. “Okay,” she softly said. “And I need you to get ready for tomorrow,” he said. Eloise frowned in confusion. “What for?” she asked. “My parents are asking for you. They want to hold a party with their close friends so they could introduce you.” A sm

    “I think you should stop him soon,” Eloise heard from beside her, causing her to snap her gaze away from Vaughn. Vaughn was currently drinking with his father’s colleagues, and it looked like he was enjoying his time a bit too much. “Is he going through anything?” she asked Xavi, wondering why he was drinking so much. “Same old, same old,” Xavi said, sitting down next to her. “It’s always about Alina and the company.” “Is it alright if I ask about it?” Xavi shrugged his shoulders. “Vaughn probably wouldn’t tell you about it anyway, so I might as well do it.” Eloise faced him with excited eyes. Vaughn doesn’t tell much about his personal life, so this was a good opportunity to learn about him. “I’m sure you already have a gist of what’s happening—his parents disapprove of Alina or something like that, yeah?” “Yes,” she said. “Just the surface level, though. I don’t know much.” “Well, let’s just say that Vaughn never really had a great childhood. His parents are okay now, bu

    Alina fumed as she watched the video sent by Amy on her phone. It was a combination of the sweet moments that Eloise and Vaughn had shared as well as Vaughn’s statement—that Eloise was the only woman for him. Her breaking point was the part when Rose told everyone that she wouldn’t be able to get close to their money even if she does marry Vaughn in the end. From the start, she thought that this was a good idea—that by following through with the surrogacy plan, Vaughn would finally inherit his parents’ company, and she could live a life filled with nothing but luxury. But watching the video made her think otherwise. Her fists clenched as she looked at the fond looks on Vaughn’s parents’ faces. She had been trying to get their approval for two years, but this bitch did it in two months! With how the situation is going, she doesn’t think that she could keep on with this. That’s right. She shouldn’t. If she can’t have Vaughn’s parents’ money, then she should at least settle

    As soon as Vaughn went out of the door, Alina started packing her belongings. The tears streamed down her face as she zipped her bag, looking at the empty room that she lived in for the past three months. She sat down on the bed and allowed herself to cry. This was okay, right? For so long, she hasn’t cried because of her situation. Working day and night for her family never made her break down. Yet a guy—a stupid guy whom she had grown to love so much managed to make her cry. She looked around the room and the memories flashed in her mind. All of the sweet words, fake acting, and intimate acts they shared together stayed in her heart. And at that moment, she knew that she couldn’t stay here anymore. Not in this house. Not in this city. But she didn’t know how she’d manage to move without anybody else’s help. She saw a small piece of card on the bedside table and decided to call the number. Xavi did tell her to contact him whenever she needed help. It only rang a co

At that moment, he was reminded of all the struggles they had gone through, all the obstacles they had overcome, and how far they had come to reach this point.

    “Xavi, let me go,” Cadence said, trying to tug her arm away.“Let’s talk,” Xavi said, locking themselves in a stock room and standing in front of the door.Cadence bit her lip in embarrassment.“There isn’t anything to talk about,” she muttered.“That’s not what I heard.”“I was just ranting to Eloise,” she said. “We should really go. Our break is almost over.”Xavi sighed and held onto Eloise’s shoulders, gently slamming her back on the door and caging her in his arms.Her eyes widened in surprise.Well, that was hot."Listen to me, please," Xavi begged. "I can't let this go on any further."Cadence slowly nodded. “I know this might sound stupid after I rejected you just yesterday, but I have realized that I like you,” he said.Her mouth went agape.So, it wasn’t just her imagination?“What do you mean?” she asked.He sighed and leaned even closer to her.

    The office was busting with the usual sounds of ringing phones, clacking keyboards, and business talks. In the highest office, near the large windows, Vaughn and Eloise shared an intimate moment, their eyes locked with affection as they leaned in. “Can we do this here?” Eloise asked. “I could literally see some of your workers walking past the office.”“It’s a one-way mirror,” Vaughn said, placing a gentle kiss on her lips. “We’re not going to get caught.” With that, Vaughn captured Eloise’s lips in a hot kiss, their tongues battling for dominance as they ventured into their new relationship. Eloise wanted to laugh since the two of them seemed like teens. It was like they had a newfound relationship, and everything just seemed to be exciting. The kiss lingered for a moment, their faces flushed with a mixture of excitement and lust. They stole glances at each other as they kissed, loving the way their lips felt against each other.

    “So, why did you call us out for a drink again?” Dylan asked, popping a chip in his mouth.“I think I know why,” Red said. “Did Cadence finally confess to you?”Xavi stopped mid-drink. “Did she tell you?”“Yeah,” Red chuckled. “She wanted to confess no matter what. Actually, the lunches we had for the past week were filled with conversations about you. You’re so oblivious.”“Fuck,” Xavi cursed. “Am I really that oblivious?”“Yes,” his two friends said in unison.“But how is this a problem anyway?” Dylan asked. “I thought you wanted to give every girl a chance until you find the right one.”“He still does,” Red responded. “But Cadence is his f-word.”“His fuckbuddy?” Dylan asked with wide eyes. “Damn, Xavi boy. I didn’t know you had it in you.”“No, idiot,” Red slapped the back of his head. “Cadence is his friend.”“Oof,” Dylan winced. “That’s even worse. So, you rejected her?”Xavi didn’t respond.“You did,” Red deadpanned. “I can’t believe it. Are you allergic to good women or someth

    The plan was all set. Cadence drove her car back to her apartment during the lunch break just so she could ask Xavi to drive her home. Fortunately, he agreed, and now all she had to do was confess her feelings. “I thought you came here with your car this morning,” Xavi said, opening the car door for her. “Uh, no. You must have seen wrong,” she bluffed. “I took the bus this morning.”“Oh,” he said. “Must be my imagination, then.”“Yeah,” she nervously chuckled. “Thanks for agreeing to take me home, by the way.”Xavi shook his head, walking over to the other side. “No worries. I can take you again tomorrow if you’d like.”Cadence smiled as she sat in the passenger seat. Her heart beat even faster in her chest. How the hell is he making her feel giddy even until now? Xavi got in the car, too, and he started driving to Cadence’s apartment. It was only a short drive from the office to her apartment, so Cadence had to act quickly. “How was your day?” Xavi asked. “I heard you went out to

    “We broke up,” Xavi calmly said, taking a sip from his coffee. Cadence almost choked after his revelation.“What?” she asked, some of the whipped cream from her frappuccino on her nose. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. Xavi chuckled and reached across the table to wipe her nose. Cadence felt another tug in her heart. For the past few days, she had been contemplating whether to forget about her feelings for Xavi, but it’s times like this that make it so difficult for her to move on. “We broke up,” Xavi repeated. “Trina and I.”“B–but why?” Cadence stammered. “I thought it was going well for the two of you.”“I thought so, too,” Xavi said. “But I saw her true colors. I visited her last night to surprise her, but I found another guy in her bed. I really thought she was the one, but I guess the right hasn’t arrived in my life yet.”Cadence pursed her lips together.
