Ex-Husband's Regret: Choosing The Surrogate Over My Wife/Velvet Desires2519
VIELLA'S POV."How dare you lay your cursed hands on me?" The sting of Mrs. Lolita's words was accompanied by a resounding slap as her perfectly manicured hand descended on my pale cheek.My fragile hand instinctively flew to the side of my face where it hurt. "Mum…" I called out in a weak voice, fighting the dam that threatened to break from my eyes."Don't you dare call me that! I can never be a mother to a barren witch like you!" Her words pierced my heart without an ounce of mercy. "I have warned you to leave my son alone! How much do you want? Just name your price!"Mrs. Lolita Rollins—a woman of prestige and influence who had achieved everything she ever wanted even before turning 53—had it all. Everything except a grandchild from her first son. And she wasn't willing to let it slide, especially not when Lance was her first son.I stood there, helpless and humiliated, as her cold, hateful words continued to lash at me. Four years of marriage, and I had nothing to show for it. No

VIELLA'S POV.I glanced at the clock again for what felt like the hundredth time that night. It was past midnight, and Lance still wasn't home. His phone had been unreachable all evening, and the fact that I hadn't heard from him only deepened my worry. I paced the large sitting room, my heart hammering in my chest. Each second that passed seemed to amplify my anxiety.This was becoming normal, and I didn't like it.Three weeks ago, we had carried out the plan. Everything was set. Noralie was fully pregnant with our baby.Hansel had done a flawless job, as expected. He was our family doctor, and I trusted him completely. We had known each other since high school—teenage nonsense, really.By the time Hansel returned from the UK, after earning a reputation as one of the best gynecologists in the country, all those silly feelings from our youth had long since faded. I was already happily married when he returned, but we reconnected professionally – against my will, though, because my hus

VIELLA."Babe. What are you doing here? Didn't I ask you not to come?" Lance said, his tone unnervingly calm.Wasn't he even concerned that I had just walked in on another woman's head resting on his chest? Was this supposed to be normal? My heart raced as a whirlwind of thoughts clouded my mind."Ma'am Viella," Nora's small voice snapped me out of my spiraling reverie. "I'm glad you're here."Before I could react, the pale-looking girl hurried over and wrapped her arms around me in a desperate embrace.Guilt hit me like a brick wall. Nora looked so innocent. What was I even thinking? How could I suspect there was anything inappropriate happening between her and Lance?Heat crept into my cheeks as embarrassment settled in."Noralie? What's wrong? How are you feeling?" I asked, inhaling deeply to steady myself."I feel so sick. My stomach hurts. My head feels light. I feel nauseous. My whole body aches. My joints..." Nora's list of complaints tumbled out, each one making me feel worse.

VIELLA.My mind was a whirlwind of uncertainty, my thoughts darting in a hundred directions.The ache in my chest wasn't just from the small argument I'd had with Lance before he drifted off to sleep but from the haunting recollection of Hansel.His gaze—cold, intimidating—lingered in my memory, its impact still potent despite all the years that had passed.I shook my head, trying to brush the stubborn memory away. It's been years. Besides, he'd hurt me more than I would ever like to forgive him for. My crumbling marriage needed saving right now. Hansel should be the last person on my mind.I had been pondering over Hansel's words for the past few days. I had also tried my best to heed his advice.In the last five days, I'd visited Noralie three times. That was very unlike me. I'd also made a conscious effort to keep Lance from visiting her too often.I glanced over at Lance, watching him sleep peacefully. The temptation to approach him, to reach out and make an advance tonight, was o
