Rodri's Mom

Vanessa's POVI watched Cameron Darnell talk to his wife fondly, about me, like this was a normal situation. And it broke my heart. Here was a man who was staying by his wife’s side even when she was unconscious. Yet, the kind of man my mother ended up with was the one who was demonic enough to put her through hell every single day, then run off when his debts became too huge to handle.He left us to face the heat of all his crimes, and now, when we are finally doing better with our lives, he was coming back to haunt mom again?“Vanessa.” The chairman’s voice caught into my pondering, and I blinked, giving a smile, “Yes, sir?”“Say hello to my wife, I’m sure she’s excited to meet you and hear your voice.” He said.I nodded and leaned forward, trying to make my voice sound as pleasant as possible. “Hello, Ma’am. I’m Vanessa Sterling. It’s nice to meet you.”He nodded, the turned back to face her. “Rodri, our son’s baby, is growing in her womb right now. The pregnancy is still early,

Vines event

Rodri's POV“I am so honored that you spared the time, to attend my wine tasting event.” Tyler Vines, CEO of Vines International Chain of Wine Producing Companies, said with a shrewd smile on his face. “Cheers to us.”Everyone raised their glasses, “Cheers.”Tyler sat back down on his seat at the head of the gigantic golden table, where we were all gathered. An exclusive gathering of billionaires and powerful business tycoons from companies around the country.It was not easy to perfectly host a gathering like this, but that was what that greasy mother fucker called Tyler Vines specialized in. It was a high profile event, yet simple and direct, that was why I was in attendance.Not too many people in one room, thankfully, because that would have worsened the dark mood that had been hovering around me for days. It was just a few days ago when Vanessa told me to stay the fuck away from her, using polite language, and that had just worsened my bottled up anger.Those were the rules I had

An intruder

Rodri's POVI parked my car and stepped out, heading straight down the concrete walkway leading to the side of the mansion. After leaving the wine tasting event, I decided to come fucking visit mom like I usually did when I felt too messed up to do anything else.Benson had really fucking ruined my mood, and I could not go back to the house feeling like this, because I didn’t wasn’t to end up snapping at someone.It was already evening, slowly getting dark in the sky so when I saw extra lights turned on at the home clinic, I wondered if dad was in there. Usually, only the lights in her room would be on by this time of the evening.I pushed the door open and closed it behind, me, heading further in to the inner door. But when I got close enough, I heard a voice talking within.I froze, hand pausing on the door knob. Her nurses were under the strict instructions to not talk unnecessarily around her, in order not to cause confusion because the doctors had confirmed that mom could hear e

Breaking rules

Vanessa's POVShit. I was definitely in trouble.Repeatedly leaving the mansion without Rodri’s permission, and visiting his mother without his knowledge. But that was not completely my fault, was it? It was the chairman who brought me here in the first place… but I was the one who offered all by myself.Gosh, I should have told Rodri immediately I returned from that first visit.But I had not even been able to catch a single glimpse of him for two days, and now out of the blue he shows up here? I should not be shocked because this was literally his home, and that woman in there was his mother.I was the stranger here. I should not be meddling in their affairs. But I was still shocked to my bones when he showed up, dark, brooding and drop dead gorgeous in his black office clothes that were rolled up to his veined forearms.And that deep, dark voice of his ordered me to explain.My mind had melted from panic from that point till now.I just wanted to get out of here as fast as possibl

He would hate me

Vanessa's POV The chairman laughed easily, clasping his hands in front of him. “Did your security not inform you that I’ve bringing your surrogate from your house to mine to see your mother?”I could feel the tension in Rodri’s shoulders. “I appreciate the thought, dad. But moving houses everyday is too much stress for her. I will bring her to visit mom once in a while.” He said with a tone of finality.The chairman only looked him square in the face and said, “Don’t lock her up in her bedroom simply because she is carrying your child. Other pregnant women go to different places everyday and the babies turn out fine. I’m just trying to make her happy. Just look at how happy she is.”I saw Rodri’s jaw clench as his hazel eyes slide sideways to glance at me. I was placed in an awkward position between father and son, and I just wished they could have had this conversation without me present.Besides, a large portion of my mind was still in disarray and panic over that passionate kiss w

Tears and more tears

Vanessa's POVHe held my wrist, pulling me closer when I had begun to step away. I shook my head vigorously, twisting my hand free.“Stop! Stop, again. This is risky and you’re my boss and I’m just your surrogate! Nothing else. After this contract, I will leave and you will never see me again!”“Who said that’s still fucking true? We stopped being just man and surrogate the first time our eyes met.” He walked towards me, boring into my eyes with those eyes of his. “I fucking want you, Vanessa.”My heart stuttered.This could not be real.“But the rules—““I made them. I can destroy them. I already destroyed them when I kissed you.” He was dangerously close now, but all I kept getting was danger signals combined with the panic, alarm, lust and above all, the guilt.It was killing me.“Stop.” I exclaimed, my voice shaking. He paused in his tracks, and I was mildly surprised that he even listened. “None of this makes any sense! Please don’t follow me.”I was on a verge of having a panic

Rodri's new employee

Trinity's POVAs I took off my nurse uniform, I spotted a particular blonde haired nurse at the other end of the changing room, straightening her dark blue suit and checking her appearance in the mirror in front of her designated space.I had kept my attention on her all day, doing my research on her and finding out everything I could about her.She turned around and left the changing room, while I hurriedly put on my clothes and brushed my hair out so it’s beautiful bronze strands fell down my back in rivulets. I glanced at myself in the mirror, and my appearance was perfect as usual.Despite the radiant smile on my lips, my amber eyes were filled with so much hate and malice.Picking up my bag, I sprayed my designer perfume in the air and slid it back into my bag. Then, I turned around in my heels and went in the same direction the blonde went.Samira Wiley. The name of the new nurse from Dolphin hospital Rodri had employed to replace me as Vanessa’s main nurse. Blonde hair, blue e

I always win

Trinity's POVShe stared at my Dolphin Hospital employee ID, and stared back at me, slowly closing her laptop. “What are we talking about?”I slide my ID back into my purse. “I’m glad you asked. You recently just accepted a job offer from Mr. Rodri Darnell to be in charge of his surrogate, didn’t you? And you have been to the mansion once, to see her for the first time.”She looked skeptical and wary, staring me up and down like she was unsure if she should call the police on me. I wasn’t fazed, because I knew my direct, piercing and blatant stare was having the effect I wanted on her.“Why are you asking me this?” Samira asked.“I want to strike a deal with you.” I answered. “I was the nurse in charge of the CEO’s surrogate before you were employed.”“Oh.” It finally clicked for her. “But what kind of deal are we talking about?”She didn’t immediately shut down my offer, which was a good sign. My stare on her didn’t move one inch as I answered, “I need constant information on what’s

My poor daughter

Moriah's POVMy entire body almost refused to cooperate with me as I slowly got up from the bed. Dried tears wet my pillow as usual, and I grabbed the glass of water Estelle had kindly placed by my bedside table, and took a huge sip.The cool water washed down my dry throat and cleared my head a little.But the companionable sadness that taking root in my mind could never be shaken. Each time I woke up, my mind was instantly plagued by the years of undying trauma accumulated in my brain. Sometimes I looked at a corner of my bedroom and flinched as if a glass vase would be randomly flying at me.The scar under my hair throbbed sometimes, even though it was an old scar.I got it when Mike, Vanessa’s father, smashed a heavy glass vase on my head when Vanessa was little. She had gone to school, and he had turned me into his punching bag as usual. I had bled so heavily that day, more than I have ever done in my entire forty six years of living. I had thought I would die, and no feeling wa

Mike

Moriah's POV After picking at the food, forcing myself to finish the plate of toast and eggs simply because I didn’t want Estelle’s efforts to go to waste, I moved back to my bedroom to take my sleeping pills again.But the bottle of pills was empty.I frowned and peered inside, but it was completely empty. How many pills had I taken yesterday? I tried to remember. But I lost count. Sighing tiredly, I felt my mood automatically get worse now that the pills I used as a coping mechanism was gone.I moved to the refrigerator to check if I had another bottle of pills laying around in there. But I found none. Also half of the fridge was empty, reminding me that I had not gone grocery shopping for a while.That was the only thing I still had the strength to do, because all I had to do was stare at the list of groceries Vanessa had saved on my phone, pick things from the counter, and drop them inside my cart. Waking around store was distracting, and that was the only time I was around people
