All Chapters of Pretend Surrogate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I became selfish, to make the long story short.I was able to sympathize with other people just to escape the responsibility I had accepted before. I knew it was wrong to solve one problem by another, but in those times I had no idea.Seeing his eyes, his hopeful eyes it slowly broke me into pieces. What I hold on to I can hardly stand. I don’t know how he tracked me down to Molly’s apartment that same day.But one thing’s for sure, I was so happy seeing him there. I’m so happy when he hugged me so tight like he’s afraid of losing me. I remember his words, he wants me to go with him so bad.He wanted me to live with him and he called it our home. He’s my home. And whoever people who I’ll be with, I’ll always feel alone. I’ll always be the dust that has never found it’s way home because nobody owns it, nobody wants it. And it’s just a mere dust who’s useless and doesn’t deserve a place in this world.“Echo,” I uttered his name when the door opened.It’s midnight. I immediately smelled

I still tried to call Echo many times but right now, he’s out of coverage. I don’t know what’s the matter with him but whatever it is I hope it’s worth his family being taken for granted.It is not enough for me to save no matter how hard I try or even a full salary I have no money to pay their debt.My head hurts and I feel weak when Echo and I go home. Whatever I think of the way I don’t know what to do. Echo is the only son, and it seems like he’s crazy about this. Who else would help them? Of course I am!"I'm sorry Angel, if only I'm rich you don't have to be this stressed." said Molly when I called her asking for possible ways to help Brook’s“No, no, no Molly. Never. Don’t worry, I can handle this. ”“No! Your husband should be the one getting stressed about that. Where is he? Fucking somebody? ”“Alright. I don’t want to talk about shit things, I just want to get this done. I’ll call some other time. ”I took a deep breath as I scrolled through my cellphone. I was searching fo

I watched him walk to the direction of his seat. While I was just standing in front of his table. I felt heavy when I first entered. Everything had changed. Every corner of the office was different, contrary to what I think he hadn’t changed. Everything got more darker in tone. If previously there was a little more clear color to be seen, now it is pure dark. What remained constant was his name on his desk.’Hugh Rockwell. CEO ’ I gulped when he sat and even put his feet above his table. Looking so chill while I’m the only one who’s bothered.”What brings you here Mrs. Brook? ”Am I the only one? Or does he really emphasize the abbreviation? He has this evil smile on his face that I badly want to wipe."Are you not with your husband?" he asked mockingly.I couldn’t answer him. I remained standing there in front of him looking so miserable.“Are you gonna speak or… should I ask you to leave too?”I gritted my teeth because of the pain that slashed my heart. I still haven't answered h

I didn't go home to Echo's house. I don't want to see his face. I know what would happen if we were both not humble. It’s just too much."I'm deciding to file for a divorce.""Finally!"To my surprise I raised my eyes to Molly. She put a cup of tea in front of me."Oops, sorry."She touched her lips and looked from the stairs. Her family is already asleep."Finally?" I was confused.She sounded like she's been waiting for me to have that decision for her whole life. She sat on the single seat couch.“Yes. Finally after years. I know you're gonna do that. You just realized late. ” she shrugged.My forehead furrowed. I don't understand him.”It's you. I don’t know why you will settle for a marriage you don’t want. You're robbing years of your life Angel. If there is no reason to stay, why didn’t you do it years ago when you knew that Hugh is not after you anymore? ” She gave a long explanation.I thought. I know that thing, what did she think of me?"I have my own reason, Molly."She ch

"Eat."I looked at the tray he had delivered. It’s a full meal. There’s fruits, there’s three different beverages, rice meal and some medicine.He crossed his arms as he glared at me.Suddenly memories from the past passed by my mind. But that past and this present is different. I picked up the spoon by myself. And I feed myself.“Where am I?”I asked him. I’m getting conscious while he’s just standing at the edge of the bed, crossing his arms while watching me. He didn't answer me so I just sneezed.I scooped the soup and it immediately warmed my stomach as I ate it. I silently eat in there and he’s still there standing. I smiled lightly at him but that smile didn’t reach my eyes.“You still don’t believe me? That test is not yet good enough for you? ” I asked solemnly.I’m talking about the pregnancy test that I had a while ago. The doctor suggested it for the sake of his peace of mind. But he’s still here looking like I’m a puzzle piece that he’s trying to solve.“I’m not pregnant.
