Semua Bab His One And Only: A Surrogate Mom For The CEO.: Bab 31 - Bab 40

"The bride was fake…" The words that came out from Steve's mouth resounded in the secretary's head, for a moment, he froze and glanced at his boss. "You… boss, are you playing on my intelligence?" He blurted out finding it hard to concentrate on driving, his gaze drifted to his boss at often times. Steve moved his brows and said nothing but, his expressionless face was enough of proof that he was speaking the truth. The secretary nearly choked on the information. "This…" James was left speechless after he found out about what happened to his boss. If he had not heard those words from Steve himself, he would never believe it and although it was the man that told him, he still had a hard time accepting the piece of information. He was so shocked that his boss's bride was switched and no one even found out on that day. He was sure that it was the model that he saw but on second thought, it could have also been that the person wore a mask too. He looked through the mirror and was ab

Serene felt her throat was dry and patched, she placed the book that she was reading on the table and stood up. She pushed the door of the room and walked out of the room. She picked her steps and walked in the direction of the kitchen. She grabbed a cup from the cabinet on getting to the kitchen and poured warm water into the cup. Serene lifted the cup to her lips and sipped the water slowly. Just then, she heard the sound of the door bell and her brows arched slightly. She was not expecting anyone and neither did Steve tell her about anybody's arrival either. She thought to ignore the sound of the bell at first but the person at the door was quite persistent. Serene carefully placed the glass of water on the table and walked out of the kitchen. She reached the door and first peered through the security camera to see who it was that was by the door. She was being careful because at the moment, she was using Amy's identity. If it was someone that she knew, she would not need to hid

After the dinner ended, James drove the car over and came to pick Serene and Steve after they had bade the old chairman farewell. The car was awkwardly silent all through the drive back to the apartment. No one uttered a word till the car halted in front of Steve's apartment and they got out. Serene quietly walked behind Steve as he took long strides into the house. She did not know why it felt as though she was sitting on pins and needles behind him. She was nervously staring at his back. She could not tell why but his attitude towards her since the evening was so cold and unusual. It made her feel uneasy. Serene mindlessly walked behind him until they got to the bedroom. Steve did not even give her a chance to react when he suddenly turned around and in the next second, his sturdy arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to his body. Her body jolted and she froze from the sudden contact. "W-what are you doing?" She stuttered. Her voice came out as a tiny squeak that she

Serene opened her eyes at dawn according to her registered body alarm. She had not been able to sleep the entire night and the dark circles around her eyes were obvious. A light yawn slipped past her lips and she tried to lift her hands but she found out that she could not. She frowned and slanted her head. Her eyes fell on a slightly opened chest that was revealed to her eyes. Her eyes popped open instantly, they enlarged almost to the size of a saucepan. She wanted to run away but she found out that she was trapped in those scalding embrace. She looked at him carefully and saw that his eyes were still closed, probably he was still asleep. She inhaled deeply and tried her best to calm her palpitating heart. She raised her hand that was not trapped in his arms and touched his hand that was wrapped around her waist. Her thoughts were that if she could peer his hand away from her waist, she would be able to slip away from him. Everything she could think about at that moment was how s

After she escaped his clutches and rushed into the kitchen, Serene's mind was constantly filled with the flashes from the kissing scene. Her face was tainted with a bright shade of pink and she seemed to be in a daze. She did not even realize when she took out the vegetables from the refrigerator and how she began cooking. Her heart was pounding within her chest and her head was messy. She could not think properly. The kissing scene kept on reoccurring in her mind and she swallowed. She picked up a carrot and stood blankly without cutting it. Why did he kiss me? Was the question that she kept on asking herself over and over again. She did not even find an answer to it instead, it was the man's face that popped into her mind. The feeling of not being able to control her thoughts was becoming scarier. She raised her hand and touched her lips slightly, she flinched. It was almost as though she could feel the surreal sensation from the moment he kissed her again. "What are you doing?
