All Chapters of Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

FAITHThe morning light streamed through my curtains, casting a soft glow over my room as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. My phone buzzed on my nightstand, the screen lighting up with a notification.Austin: Meet me at our old spot today. I know I said I’d only ask you out if I got the interview, but you know what? That doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is you being with me—whether I have this job or not.I stared at the message, my heart tightening slightly.Austin had always been persistent, but this… this was something else. The words were sincere, almost desperate, and for a brief moment, I felt myself softening.He really wanted this. Wanted me.I bit my lip, a small, involuntary smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.Maybe I was being too harsh. Maybe, despite everything, Austin really had changed. Maybe he was willing to prove himself, to show me that what we had before was still worth something.I didn’t have the answer yet, but for the first time in a while, I d

 FAITH It had been three hours.Three hours of sitting at the same old bench, the same spot Austin and I used to meet before, with no sign of him. The sunlight had shifted across the sky, casting long shadows on the ground, and I found myself staring at the empty space where he was supposed to be, my stomach twisting with every passing minute.I checked my phone again. No new messages. Nothing from Austin. I had texted him at least five times and called him, maybe more than that. Each time, the same automated response: "The number you are calling is currently out of reach."Out of reach. What did that even mean? Why wasn’t he answering?

 FAITH “You and I have to talk.”I couldn’t hold back my frustration. “Ha! I have nothing to talk to somebody like you.”Reagan’s voice was calm, smooth, as though she was in complete control. “It’s about Austin.”“I don’t want to hear about it,” I shot back, my patience wearing thin.“You have to,” Reagan replied, her tone insistent.I let out a sigh, already feeling my temper flare. “No, I don’t.”“Over the call. Austin moved away because of you,” she said, her voice colder no

BLAZEThe door clicked shut, and a few seconds later, Faith walked into my office.For a moment, I pretended to be casual, leaning back in my chair with a small, feigned grin. “Hey! What brings you here? Missed me?” I asked, trying to make light of the situation, but her face immediately told me that wasn’t the case.She stood there, her eyes hard as she shot me a look that said it all: You’re so dead."Yeah, missed you," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm, but there was an edge of something else in her eyes. Anger. Betrayal. All the things I didn’t want to deal with.Trying to keep things calm, I cleared my throat and gestured to the chair in front of my desk. “So, um, can I offer you a drink? I’ll have my secretary bring it for you.”She shook her head, not bothering to sit. “No. Let’s talk first.”Her words hit harder than I expected. I leaned forward in my chair, trying to maintain some semblance of control, but inside, I was anything but calm.Faith came around to the othe

BLAZEI stared at Faith, my heart pounding in my chest, unsure of how to put everything into words. There were so many things I needed to say, but for the first time in a long time, I didn’t know where to start. I knew I had hurt her. I knew I had been selfish and reckless, but in this moment, all I wanted was for her to understand.“Faith,” I began, my voice shaky but resolute, “I have never been good at this. At expressing myself. At being open. But I can’t stand here any longer pretending that nothing matters when you’re in front of me. I... I need you to hear me out. You deserve that much.”Her gaze didn’t shift, and I took a deep breath, steeling myself for whatever reaction I might get. “I know I have made a mess of things. I know I have done things that hurt you—things I can’t take back. But let me start by saying this: I’ve been so lucky to have met you. I didn’t expect to feel this way about anyone, and yet, here I am.”She said nothing, but her silence made the air feel th
