Semua Bab Trapped As The Billionaire’s Surrogate: Bab 71 - Bab 80

FAITHThe moment the words left my lips, I felt the air in the hallway shift.Austin stiffened beside me, his brows pulling together in sharp confusion. His expression flickered between shock, disbelief, and something I couldn't quite place.I sucked in a breath, my mind racing, scrambling to fix what I'd just said. Shit. Shit. Shit.Austin stared at me. “What did you just say?”“N-nothing,” I blurted, shaking my head. “Forget I said anything.”His eyes narrowed. “No. No way.” He stepped closer, lowering his voice. “You just said you’re a surrogate. What the hell does that mean, Faith?”I forced a laugh, waving him off like it was nothing. “Oh, you—you heard wrong. I was just saying that, you know, pregnancy is just a temporary thing, and I’m just… carrying a baby, but it’s not—”Austin’s eyes darkened. “Faith.” His voice was sharper this time. “Don’t even try to lie your way out of this.”I swallowed, looking away. My fingers clenched into my sleeves as I tried to come up with some e

 FAITH The night had settled in, a comforting blanket of darkness wrapping around the city as I sat on my bed, phone in hand, casually texting Austin.Austin: So, what’s your plan now? You know… for everything?I stared at the message for a moment, my fingers hovering over the screen. What was my plan? I hadn’t exactly thought that far ahead. Between dealing with the fallout of my pregnancy being outed and keeping Blaze from finding out that Austin knew too much, I barely had the energy to think beyond surviving the next day.I sighed, typing back.Me: What do you mean?His reply was almost instant.Austin: I me

 FAITHAustin walked toward me, his signature cocky smirk in place, hands tucked into his jacket pockets. And damn it—he kinda looked handsome.It wasn’t fair. The way he carried himself with that effortless confidence, like nothing in the world could shake him. The way his hair fell slightly over his forehead, just like it used to when we were younger. The way his eyes still held that spark—that dangerous, playful glint that made me feel like I was about to step into something I couldn’t control.“Long time no see,” he mused, stopping in front of me.I crossed my arms, raising an eyebrow. “You saw me yesterday.”Austin chuckled. &ldquo

BLAZEI was still fuming.Still burning from the inside out.The moment I had turned that corner and seen her—seen them—everything inside me had snapped. I had gone back to get her. I wasn’t going to leave her there with him. That was never an option.She was supposed to come home with me.But when I got there, when I saw the way she was in his arms, leaning into him like he was her safe place—Like he was the one she trusted—Like I wasn’t even in the damn picture—I lost it.I saw red.The fury was a wildfire spreading in my chest, a heat so intense I could barely breathe around it. My pulse drummed against my skull, my vision blurred at the edges. My body thrummed with an uncontrollable rage, one that had no outlet except through destruction.And fuck, I needed to destroy something.I could still see it.Still fucking feel it.My breathing was heavy, sharp exhales pushing through my nose as I walked with long, furious strides.That fucking bastard.That smug prick.I saw red just

FAITHI stared at the contract in Blaze’s hand, my pulse pounding in my ears.Ten million dollars.The number blurred before my eyes, sharp and suffocating, pressing against my chest like a weight I couldn’t lift.I had no idea.I had signed this contract, bound myself to this agreement, but I hadn’t even read it properly. I hadn’t read it. I had been so desperate—so completely shattered—that the details had barely registered. The moment I saw a way out, I took it without thinking, without questioning, without knowing what I was really giving away.My throat went dry, my fingers curling into fists at my sides.Blaze tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes watching me like a predator that had cornered its prey. Then, slowly, that signature smirk crept onto his lips."Oh?" he mused, his tone mocking. "Now you’re quiet?"I swallowed hard, trying to ignore the suffocating heat radiating from his gaze."Can’t afford the penalty, can you?"His voice was silk and steel, wrapping around me li
