The day of Vaughn and Eloise's wedding had finally arrived, and the atmosphere was charged with excitement and anticipation. The venue was adorned with ethereal decorations, and soft music filled the air as the guests took their seats. It was an intimate setup, surrounded by their closest friends and family who had witnessed their tumultuous journey toward love.Inside the bridal suite, Eloise was getting ready, her heart pounding with a mix of nerves and excitement. Cadence, her best friend, and maid-of-honor, bustled around her, making sure every detail was perfect. "You look absolutely stunning, Eloise," Cadence beamed, her eyes glistening with joy for her friend.Eloise offered a shaky smile, clutching her bouquet tightly. "Thank you, Cadence. I can't believe this day is finally here."Cadence placed a reassuring hand on Eloise's shoulder. "You and Vaughn have been through so much together, and today is the day you get to celebrate your love. It's going to be perfect."Meanwhile,
The anticipation in the air was palpable as the doors to the grand entrance slowly opened, revealing Eloise in all her radiant glory. As she took her first steps down the aisle, Vaughn couldn't tear his eyes away from her. She looked like an angel, a vision of beauty that took his breath away. 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. Memories flashed before Vaughn's eyes – the first time they met, their initial disagreements, the tender moments of understanding, and the countless instances they had supported each other through thick and thin. Their journey had been far from easy, but it had brought them to this magical moment, where they were about to vow their love and commitment to each other. As Eloise finally stood before him at the altar, Vaughn's heart swelled with emotion. He held her hands gently, the warmth of her touch sending shivers down his spine. The of
“Please,” Eloise pleaded, looking into the owner’s eyes with desperation. “I make a really good waitress.” “And yet you still aren’t a high school graduate,” the owner, a middle-aged woman with humongous pearls, grimaced at her. “We don’t accept the likes of you in here.” Eloise pursed her lips together and crumpled the resume in her hand. “And that’s why your business is failing,” she bit back, causing the owner’s face to become red. “What did you just say?” she exclaimed in anger. It was almost laughable how she looked so much like Barney the dinosaur—that is, if Barney was red. But she didn’t have any time to laugh since she had to run out before the owner caused a scene. “Come back here, you little shit!” the owner yelled, but Eloise had already made her way out of the small restaurant. She looked down to the ground and kicked an innocent little stone on the corner of the road. “What a shitty life,” she muttered under her breath whilst taking out a piece of paper from her po
Eloise quickly snapped out of her thoughts as she looked into the handsome man’s cocky eyes.“If you wanted to have a silent stay here, you should have opted for a private room. And we were talking quietly before you interrupted our conversation.”Vaughn scoffed. Of course, he could stay in a private room. He can even buy this hospital if he wants to.“It doesn’t take away the fact that the two of you have disturbed my rest,” he said.Eloise was about to respond when Cameron held onto her hand.“We’re sorry, sir,” he said. “We’ll try to talk more quietly from now on.”“That’d be appreciated,” Vaughn said in a sarcastic tone.Eloise glared at his brother. “Don’t apologize to him. He’s the one being a sensitive asshole.”Vaughn raised his eyebrows in surprise. That’s certainly a first. No one has ever called him an asshole on the very first day that they’ve met him.“Sis,” he said. “Just let it go, alright? My doctor is on his way here.”She sighed and nodded her head, finally letting i
“What took you so long?” Vaughn glared at Xavi and Dylan as they arrived. “We took Red home, bro,” Dylan said, out of breath. “He was already knocked out.” Xavi chuckled. “He even cried because of you.” Vaughn frowned. “For what reason?” “He felt bad for you, man,” he said. “You’ve been working for your parents since you were 18. It sucks that you can’t have the company, and now, you even got into a tree crash.” Vaughn shook his head and changed the topic. “Did you bring my wallet?” Xavi nodded his head and tossed it to him. “Good. Let’s play for the bill.” They went over to the counter as Vaughn inspected his wallet. “You spent all my cash?” he asked the two. They smiled sheepishly. “There were some ladies offering a lap dance,” Dylan said. “Who were we to refuse?” Vaughn shook his head in disbelief. “Here, miss,” he said, handing his card to the still blushing lady. The lady took it with shaky hands. The machine beeped, causing the two of them to frown. “Your card has
Eloise looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. If earlier she thought that he was a little bit off in the head, now she thinks that he had gone extremely insane.She held onto the door handle and attempted to get out.“Hear me out,” Vaughn said, holding onto her arm.She faced him, a little bit afraid.“Did you just ask me to marry you?” she asked, clarifying what he had just said.“And be my surrogate,” he added.“Wow,” Eloise said, absent-mindedly chuckling to herself. “You’re crazy. You’re literally crazy!”“I’m going crazy, too,” Vaughn said. “But this is the only way I could think of to help with my situation.”“Whatever it is—I don’t want to hear it,” she said. “Just let me out.”“Look,” Vaughn sighed. “I have a girlfriend.”“All the more why you shouldn’t be asking me this!” she exclaimed.“But my parents do not want me to be with her,” he said.“I still don’t see how any of this is my problem.”“My dad is the CEO of Ryder Enterprises,” he said, causing Eloise’s eyes to
Eloise tapped her foot on the ground as she waited for Vaughn to arrive. After she finally accepted his proposition, the two of them decided to meet at a cafe to discuss everything that was bound to happen in their marriage and her surrogacy. After a few moments, he finally arrived. It was easy to spot him with his expensive clothes and aura. Even some of the customers looked over his way when he came in. She couldn’t help but shake her head. He sat down in front of him and ordered from the waiter. “What do you want?” he asked. She shook her head. She already browsed through the menu a while ago, and she didn’t want to spend 11 dollars on a cup of coffee. “It’s alright,” she said. “I already ate at home.” He sighed and ordered a bunch of stuff, probably much more than he could eat. However, she let it go since he probably has more money than she would ever know. “So,” Eloise said. “How are we going to do this?” “I only want two things,” Vaughn said, leaning back against his
“Cameron,” Eloise said, gently shaking him awake.“Sis?” he woke up, rubbing his eyes awake. “You’re home?”“Yeah,” she smiled. “Did you wait up for me?”He nodded his head, still with sleepy eyes. “Where did you go?”She sat down next to him and ruffled his hair, causing him to groan in annoyance.“Not the hair,” he muttered under his breath.“You should have went to sleep if you were tired,” she said.He shook his head. “You always come home late because of your job. You’re rarely in the house too since you keep working because of me.”She smiled. “And I enjoy it very much.”He looked her in the eyes. “You should also rest sometimes, Eloise.”“I know,” she softly smiled. “But just seeing you already energizes me.”He chuckled. “Gross,” he said.She gently pushed him away before divulging the news that she could finally pay for his treatment.“I’ve found a way,” she opened up. “I can pay for your treatment now, Cam.”She thought her brother was going to be elated. However, a frown su
