All Chapters of The Billionaire's Surrogate Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Sweat trickled down Arianna's forehead as she clutched her stomach, asking the taxi driver to pull over at one of the pharmacies along the roadside.Due to being late for dinner, her long-standing stomach ailment had flared up, making her extremely uncomfortable until this morning. As a result, Arianna curled up on the bed for a while. After feeling a bit better, she slowly prepared herself to head to the office.She could have taken a sick day, but remembering the pending work that needed to be completed before stopping, Arianna forced herself to go. She chose to make a quick stop at the pharmacy before continuing her journey to the office. She didn't care if Axton or Samuel would be angry later because she arrived later than usual.Upon reaching the office and walking towards the lobby, Arianna was slightly surprised. She saw some of her colleagues gathered not far from the reception desk.Initially, she chose to ignore them and continued walking towards her room. However, when she

Arianna was indeed born an orphan. Throughout her life, she never dared to dream of anything too high or peculiar.Since the beginning, Arianna only hoped to have a good job with a decent salary, enough to support and dedicate her entire life to fulfilling the needs of the orphanage as a form of gratitude.Arianna was certain that without the presence of Mother Laila, she wouldn't be where she is today. Her foster mother struggled tirelessly to educate her, enabling her to pursue higher education up to the college level. Even upon graduating, Arianna landed a good job as an HRD staff at a prestigious company like PAsific Palace.In the past, Arianna thought her life would go smoothly without any obstacles. For a few years, everything, be it personal matters or work, went very smoothly.Until recently, when she got a promotion. Arianna thought her life would get even better in the future. However, this assumption did not prove true this time.It seemed like fate wanted to play games wi

Usually, Samuel only drops off or picks up Arianna by the roadside. However, this time, the man parked his car right in front of the orphanage's courtyard, as if it were his last visit.Certainly, it wasn't easy for him to park there. They had a brief debate as Arianna objected, insisting that Samuel should just stay in the car and not bother visiting the orphanage where she lived."Why bother getting out? It's better if you just go straight home," Arianna objected, even though she was already preparing to exit the car. But seeing Samuel's determination to accompany her, she immediately blocked his way."Why does it matter if I come down? Is there a problem? Besides, I want to meet Mrs. Laila and provide information about my extended family's plan to visit for an engagement," Samuel explained.Arianna sighed. Why was it so difficult to make Samuel understand? She certainly had her reasons for refusing her boss to visit the orphanage, where she had been living.The last time he came to

"ARIANNA!"The call echoed loudly as Arianna had just set foot in the lobby of PAsific Palace. When she turned, the slender woman found Chacha rushing towards her with slightly labored breath.Instantly, Arianna was puzzled, wondering why Chacha was running towards her so early in the morning. Was there something urgent, or perhaps a deadline that her friend needed to convey immediately?"What's going on? Why are you running like that?" Arianna asked, bewildered."Where have you been? Why did you just arrive this late in the morning? I've been looking for you everywhere since earlier. Plus, I couldn't reach you on your phone!" Chacha exclaimed.Arianna laughed. Today, she was indeed late as she had a task from Samuel to handle some business outside. Because she forgot to charge her phone last night, the smart device died on her way to the office."I stopped by Alexis briefly to take care of advertising. As for the phone, I forgot to charge it last night, so it died in the middle of th

Arianna gazed in awe at her reflection in the mirror. Wearing a white A-line dress with a hint of lace on the surface, paired with matching pump shoes on her slender legs, elevated Arianna's beauty to a whole new level.What added to her stunning appearance was the skillfully applied makeup that perfectly complemented her facial contours. To top it off, her hair was styled in a deliberately crafted twisted braid.Arianna Grey could hardly recognize herself at this moment. Indeed, she looked like the princesses from fairy tales she often read and watched. Even Laila, her foster mother, was amazed, not expecting her ward to look so different from before."Your daughter is exceptionally beautiful. Lucky Mr. Samuel is marrying you, Arianna."Arianna then turned to Laila, smiling and extending her arms, inviting her foster mother for a hug."Mama," Arianna called affectionately, "Arianna is really nervous."For this, Arianna was not exaggerating. Despite her relationship with Samuel being
