All Chapters of The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

VANESSA'S POV "Thank you so much, Vanessa," The chairman echoed his wife's words of appreciation as he moved closer to where we both were. "You've been a blessing to me and my family, Vanessa," he reached out to enclasp Rose's free hand with his as his eyes held mine. "I honestly don't know how to repay you for all you've done." I was about to tell him to stop thanking me that I had not done anything significant when the door creaked open and the doctor walked into the room, wearing a broad smile on his face. "How are you feeling, Madam?" He beamed at her, with pride fixed all over his face. Rose smiled weakly, peeling her eyes from her husband's face and directed her attention towards the doctor. "My family is here with me, doctor," She answered softly, "There is absolutely no reason for me to feel anything but complete gratitude and I’m perfectly fine." The chairman leaned forward, planting a kiss on her forehead as I moved to the side to give them some space. It felt goo

RODRI'S POV The moment I pulled into the driveway and switched off the ignition, Vanessa reached for the seatbelt and unclasped it, swinging it off her body in quite a haste. Removing the seatbelt and helping her out of the car was my job but it seemed like she had no need for my services at the moment. My eyes followed her movements in surprise as she propped open the car door a few seconds after she had rid herself of the seatbelt and carefully placed one foot out. She swung her bag over her shoulder as she attempted to move out of the car's confinements all by herself. "Let me help you." I called out gently as I hurriedly opened my side of the car and jogged around to her own side of it. "Why are you doing this all by yourself when I'm here?" I asked with confusion masking my face as I made to help her but retracted my hand when she gently shrugged it off. "It's fine, Rodri," Vanessa answered firmly, balancing both feet on the ground as she finally but carefully got out o

VANESSA'S POV Rodri's questions echoed in my head as Samira handed me my drugs and I felt guilty for not answering him. The ride home last night had been chaotic for me, my mind kept on drifting back to the conversation I had with my miserable father. For some reason, I couldn't shake off the feeling that someone close to me had given him my number. Mum was completely out of the question since I knew she would do anything to protect me from him. She had talked about his threats and how he had tried to get her to give my location up but she had firmly stood her ground. I was a hundred percent certain she had not aided him, then who had? Well, the calls had stopped after I had turned my phone off in the car and then back on after bathing and having breakfast. Knowing my father very well, I knew it was just a matter of time before he started calling again but this time around, I was ready to block his number once again. The last thing I needed was someone stirring up the pot I w

RODRI'S POV It was undeniable that her statement had caught me completely off guard but I quickly chided myself and tried to regain my composure as I ushered her to the seat directly opposite mine. It was very strange that she had approached my office by this time of the day, it was something she had never done before. For as long as I could remember, the helpers I had hired for Vanessa had stayed away from me except when they had important things to discuss with me. Something felt odd about her countenance but instead of wasting time guessing what it could be, I decided to just up and make enquiries. "Is anything the matter, Samira?" I asked calmly, the moment she sat carefully on the chair. Her eyes were lowered and oddly shielded by her not so long lashes and it made me wonder if she was scared of something or if she was just being cautious. "Is something wrong with Vanessa or the baby?" Fear started to seep through my veins as her eyes flew upwards to meet mine in a hast

RODRI'S POV "Is there something you're not telling me, Vanessa?" I asked in a clear voice as my eyes brushed over her tired face. It was alarming to me that she was looking this tired after I had informed her helpers to let her sleep for as long as she wanted. Concern was clearly written on her face and I could see a hint of apprehension. Vanessa blinked thrice as she lowered her face before bringing her eyes back to rest on mine. "Why do you say so, Rodri?" She squeaked at me, causing me to raise an eyebrow in suspicion. Well, there was the fact that she was just waking up from sleep—her face screamed so—but there was something about her pitch, as if she had been crying. "You seem off, Nessa. Hell, you've been off since yesterday," I confessed, urging her with my eyes to confide in me. "Tell me if something is going on and we'll solve it together. I promise." I got up from the table and moved towards the bed, settling in just next to her. My hands circled around her hand as bi
