Semua Bab CEO's Ex-Wife Is Back As The Surrogate Of His Twins : Bab 11 - Bab 20

[ Madeline ]After having a sour encounter with Damien, I presented myself to the head of department where I would be working as long as I can keep up with my resolution or the Rosewood family doesn’t create hurdles for me. Sooner or later, my pregnancy will be showing. Damien has only given me three months until I start showing my belly.“Are you coming for lunch?” I heard a female voice and I raised my eyes from my computer screen to the girl who was standing at my cubicle.“It’s already lunch time. I didn’t realize.” I sighed stretching my arms. I had been engrossed in preparing the catalogue of Mrs. Vance’s meetings for next three months. She is a bearable lady unlike others whom I have met in last few hours.“Let’s go, I’ll introduce you to our other co-workers. They all are curious to meet the girl who passed Mrs. Vance’s test. You know fifteen other candidates in last two months failed to pass her review. She is very strict and you are the first one who is personally selected b

[ Madeline ]After finishing my leftover work, I went to Damien’s house. I was about to hire a cab but I received a text from Damien stating that I must use his car and guards to keep me out of danger and paparazzi. His guards and driver know their job well.I was exhausted after working tirelessly for hours but I was happy that I was learning new things to help me in my future. I want to give my baby the best life which my parents couldn’t give me and I was always looked down for being poor and uneducated because I couldn’t go to a good school.“Madeline, stop!”An intimidating, venomous voice asked me to stop and I took a deep breath to prepare myself for another around of torture.Mrs. Lydia Rosewood was standing in the middle of the living room with crossed arms and red face. She looked super angry and I know the reason.“Good evening, Mrs. Rosewood but I want to rest so excuse me.” I said in a disinterested tone but she smelled disrespect in my words and she strode towards me.“I

[ Madeline ]I wouldn’t lie, Lydia Rosewood’s words scratched my old wounds which took two years to heal and this time, she stabbed me deeper by calling my baby a sin. After she left telling me that the biggest villain of my life is back and I should be prepared to deal with her.Rachel Parker ruined my marriage. Now, she is back with another wicked agenda. I must be more careful than before.“Madeline, dear. Damien and Ava are waiting for you at the dinner table.” Nancy’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I looked at her who entered in the balcony where I had been sitting since the evening.I composed myself. Nancy is an observing woman. She’ll sense my disturbed mood.“Nancy, I’ll have my dinner in my room tonight.” I told her and a frown itched on her face. She walked close to me.“Madeline, you look off today, I can see it on your face. Are you upset by Mrs. Rosewood’s harsh words?” She asked softly touching my face.I shook my head, “Nancy, I am fine. She doesn’t affect me a

[ Madeline ]I was frozen.Damien Rosewood, my ex-husband kissed me. He only placed his lips over mine but it was enough to send electrifying waves through my body. My heartbeats accelerated to a dangerous pace. He slowly pulled away but still stood very close to me that I could feel his hot breath fawning on my face.“Dare calling me with formalities again and next time it will be more than this.” He said with a smug smile.The elevator door opened at the same time as he backed away.“Your floor is here, Miss Smith.” He said pointing his finger out of the elevator.I tightly clutched my bag and scurried out of there. As soon as the elevator closed, I released the breath I had been holding and placed my hand on my chest. My cheeks and ears were hot. It was the same feeling as the first time he kissed me.“Madeline, are you having fever? Oh My Gosh! Your face is red.” Emily’s voice snapped me out of my trance.I immediately composed myself and turned to face her, she was looking at me

[ Madeline ]My mood was sour throughout the ride back to home. Damien tried to be gentler when he opened the car door for me or offered his umbrella to me as it started raining. I refused his help and made my way directly to my room.I spotted Mrs. Rosewood in the living room. She smirked looking at me. It seemed she came with full preparations as I spotted Mr. Rosewood as well. I avoided looking at the Rosewood family. Ava was instructing the maids.I felt like an outsider, once I was a part of this toxic family. I slammed my door shut and closed my eyes to release the tears I had been holding for a long time.“Why are you testing my patience God? What have I done to deserve never ending pain?” I cried and cursed my fate.I thought I have made myself stronger over the time but it was what I think. Damien’s cruel reminder made me realize that from inside, I am still the same vulnerable girl who wants to snuggle in her mother’s embrace or wants a warm hug from someone who loves her.T
