All Chapters of Xavier's Surrogate: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

“Why didn’t it work out?” Halle probed, she’s learned in the past few months of knowing Xavier that whenever he was willing to give any information about his life, she had to milk it out of him right there and then and know everything she wanted to. He hesitated, his lips parted and then closed. He let out a ragged breath and ran his palms down his face. Water sprayed down on them like rain and cascaded down their skin with a gentle caress. All that could be heard was the sounds of their heavy breathing. Halle's due to her arousal and Xavier’s due to his hesitance to speak about his past marriage. He was hard and she wanted him just as she knew he wanted her in that moment but they had to get past this…or Halle wouldn’t be able to trust the man. “Andrea was selfish and so was I, we ruined our friendship with Tunde for a fleeting feeling. Andrea wanted more, she wanted to be the wife to the head of the stone family and have the power that came with it, I saw my mother in her so I

Morning came too quickly in Halle's opinion. She spent the entire night in Xavier’s arms and though she was tired and at some point had to pretend to be asleep, she couldn’t sleep. Something was off in the Stone family she could feel it. Something was off with Xavier and also his illness and something told her that he had the same thoughts as well. That though, he wouldn’t talk to her about and it was way too sensitive for Halle to try and bring home so she settled for resting in his arms. He never let go of her, even when he would shoot up abruptly having coughs that sounded like his lungs wanted out if his body, once they subsided, he would hold her in his arms against and then fall asleep. Halle had noticed that since she found out she was pregnant, she slept too much during the day and at night her eyes would be wide open like an owl no matter what she tried. Now she knew it was already morning and she was very much aware that she get to sleep. Her body aches and groan

“You look really good this morning, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you…this way…” Andrea said, her eyes on Xavier, taking in every detail, looking like she had plans to gobble him up right there and then. It was obvious to anyone with eyed, the woman was still attracted to him. Xavier didn’t seem to be bothered by her stares though, he looked like he was used to and instead, his eyes were on the child in front of him. Halle was trying hard to find focus on what she was doing and also trying to make sure Tabitha didn’t scratch Andrea’s eyes out got reasons she would ask about later. As she tried to cook, her eyes kept landing in their direction and she couldn’t focus on the food she was trying to cook. But she began the process anyways. “Go straight to the point,” Xavier said coldly, Halle noticed his eyes never left the boy's, deep confusion in his eyes as he spoke. “Well, I’m sure you must’ve already noticed that Damien here is your son,”Although Halle had already k

Andrea crossed her arms over her chest and sneered, “Either way, I don’t want your whore's filthy hands touching my son!”Xavier inhaled sharply, his fists shook and Halle could tell he was trying hard not to take any drastic action in front of Damien. “Don’t call her that, if you can’t call her by her name or treat her with respect then I suggest you leave!” Xavier stood up, his chair squealing uncomfortably because of the speed. “Leave?” Andrea scoffed, “I and my son aren’t going anywhere!” She declared, “We already have our bags set up and we are here to stay!”“On whose authority?”“Martha’s!” Andrea retorted, “Martha has given me and the ‘heir' of the Stone family to live in Stone Manor for as long as we want!” She announced, shocking Halle and she was sure, Xavier as well. “Martha…” Xavier said under his breath. Then he nodded. “Don’t unpack yet,” He said and then turned around to walk out of the kitchen. He was fuming mad and Halle hoped he wouldn’t disrespect his aunt unin

Halle quickly got to work, she brought out his favorite cotton pants and hoodie. Then she stripped him of the clothes he had worn earlier in the morning. The pants were harder to take off because they were wet so she had to use the scissor in his bedside drawer to cut it off. She listened for his heart best every twenty seconds as she dressed him up. Too disoriented to focus on anything other than his health and warmth. Maybe not too disoriented. At some point her hands had lingered on his abs, loving how the ridges felt under her palm but of course no one needed to know that. Once he was in completely dry clothes, Halle began to strip as well, she put on one of his shirts and paired it with a dark blue underwear that also belonged to Xavier, her fingers lingering on the baby bump that was beginning to show. The reality of her situation glaringly unsettling. “Flower…” He rasped out weakly, Halle immediately ran to his side and held his outstretched hand in hers. His eyes were only
