All Chapters of The Billionaire's Deceived Surrogate : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“I do not want you being in a closed space alone with him, Anastasia.” Tristian’s face was as hard as a rock and cold as ice. Anna’s face twisted, and her brows raised as confusion spread across her face. “I don’t understand. What are you talking about?” Anna chuckled and folded her arm, watching Tristian’s jaw become as sharp as a knife. “He was staring at you like he wanted to rip your clothes off and kiss you right here. He was doing that before me. I simply cannot have that. Next time, if you need to meet him, it must be in the open or with me by your side.” He asserted, and Anna’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Do you realize that Jacob is my ex? He was my boyfriend for two years. I carried his child! Why would I be scared of him? I don’t need to be careful around him, Tristian.” She replied. Anna found his anger funny, but at the same time, she was getting pissed. “You do, Anna. You need to be careful around him. No one knows what he’s capable of. Jacob Wade is not a good ma

Anna cleared her throat and regained her stance, finally looking him in the face. “Can we speak?” Tristian nodded and stepped aside so she could enter the room. As the door closed, it dawned on Anna that she was in Tristian’s bedroom for the first time. “What do you want to talk about?” Tristian’s voice came from behind her, and when she turned, she almost forgot why she stepped into the room. He had just finished taking a shower. It was evident from his wet hair and body. Merely looking at him made Anna’s temperature rise despite the working air conditioner in the room. There was something about the scenery that gave her thoughts, evil thoughts. “Anna!” His voice snapped her out of her daze, and when she raised her head, she realized she had been staring shamelessly at him. How embarrassing! “I uhh...I.” She started and paused to take a deep breath. “I want to apologize for my behavior today. I should have let you know about the meeting with Jacob. Well, I would have let

Anna arrived at Reyes Estate and went straight to her office, praying she didn't bump into Tristan. However, she knew it might be impossible since her office was on the same floor as Tristan’s. “Good morning, Mrs Reyes.” Her secretary, Samantha, greeted her and followed her into the office. “Good morning to you, too, Samantha.” Anna greeted as she dropped her purse and settled down. “What’s my schedule for today?” She asked, and Samantha began to read them out to her. “Your engagements start at 11 am. You are to attend a meeting with the other directors regarding the contract with the Wades at 11 am.” Samantha read out, and Anna tensed up. A meeting with the directors meant that she would have to sit in the same room with Tristan. “Carry on, Samantha.” She cleared her throat and shook her thoughts away. “You are to attend an interview at 1 pm with Mr Reyes at HBC Entertainment. The questions to expect have been sent to your mail and that of Mr Reyes.” Samantha read out. T

It was finally time for the interview, and the host, a famous TV presenter Jess Meyers invited the first couple, Anastasia and Tristan Reyes to the stage. This one was done behind closed doors, as Tristan kindly requested, unlike the usual interview sessions. He hated public attention so much that the last thing he wanted was to be in a room with hundreds of them.“Good day, Ladies and gentlemen. This is HBC special with Jess and today, we have a very special guest.” Jess Meyers, the host, announced, and an automated cheer erupted from the speakers.The thirty-year-old blonde crossed her legs curtly, smiling professionally at the camera. “Our special guest for today or, should I say guests…” Jess grinned at the cameras.“Well, we have with us today, a man who was been making waves in almost every business sector. A man whose rise to wealth and fame shocked the whole world. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Tristan Reyes and his beautiful wife, Anastasia Reyes.” Jess introduced. Ba

The next day, Anna woke up in high spirits. She was looking forward to visiting the Wade mansion, not because she had any love for the family but, because her son was in there. She freshened up quickly and made her way to the breakfast table. As usual, Shayne was already seated but, she wasn’t alone this time.“Good morning, Anna.” Tristan greeted without looking at her. He was fully dressed for work and even had his keys in front of him. Anna wondered why he hadn’t already left just like before.“Good morning, Tristan.” She returned his greeting and settled down beside Shayne who was staring at the both of them through her lashes.“Finally! A normal breakfast.” Shayne said sarcastically and clapped, hoping to get rid of the awkward tension between her sister and Tristan. Neither of them said anything, avoiding eye contact like their lives depended on it.“Hmm.” Shayne hummed and shook her head, concluding that the both of them were completely hopeless.A few minutes into breakfast, A
