I woke up to soft sunlight filtering through the curtains. My body still felt warm from last night’s memories. The kiss. Alexander’s hands on my waist. The hardness I had seen pressing against his pants. I touched my lips, which still tingled a little. My cheeks heated up again. I had wanted more. So much more. But stopping had been the right thing. At least, that’s what I kept telling myself.

I got out of bed and took a long shower. The warm water helped calm my racing thoughts. “You’re not re

  • REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 57: Trust and Desire

    The next morning felt different. Lighter. Happier. I woke with a smile already on my face, the heart pendant warm against my chest. I chose a soft blue dress that hugged my waist and headed downstairs.Alexander was waiting in the dining room, looking at me the moment I entered. “There she is,” he said, his voice warm. “I missed you already.”I laughed and sat beside him. “We only said goodnight a few hours ago.”“Still missed you.” He leaned over and kissed me softly. Coffee and morning light mixed with the taste of him. My stomach fluttered.After breakfast we worked side by side in the office. Every time our eyes met, a small current of heat passed between us. At one point he wheeled closer and whispered, “I keep thinking about how you felt against me yesterday. Soft. Warm. Perfect.”My cheeks burned, but I smiled. “I keep thinking about it too.”By afternoon the house felt too quiet for all the feelings building inside me. We ended up on the balcony again, the same place where our

  • REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 56: The Night We Chose Each Other

    I woke the next morning with the heart pendant resting against my skin. Alexander’s gift felt warm and steady, like a quiet promise. I touched it and smiled. For the first time in a long while, the future didn’t scare me. It excited me.Downstairs, Alexander was already waiting with two cups of coffee. When he saw me, his whole face lit up. “Good morning, beautiful. Sleep well?”“I did,” I said, sitting close to him. “I kept thinking about last night on the balcony. The way you held me. The way you listened. It feels like we’re building something real.”He took my hand. “We are. And I want to keep building it. Today, I cleared my schedule. Just us.”We spent the morning walking the garden paths. Birds sang. The air smelled of roses. Every few steps Alexander would stop the wheelchair, pull me down for a soft kiss, and whisper something sweet. “Your smile makes the whole day better.” “I love how strong you are.” “I can’t wait to hold you longer tonight.”By afternoon the heat between u

  • REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 55: Closer Every Day

    The days after David’s visit felt lighter. Alexander made sure extra security was around the estate, but he never made me feel trapped. Instead, he gave me space while staying close. Our romance grew stronger with every shared meal, every quiet conversation, and every kiss.One afternoon, we sat in the garden again. The flowers were in full bloom, and a gentle breeze carried their sweet scent. I wore a light summer dress that fluttered around my knees. Alexander looked handsome in a simple shirt, his wheelchair positioned so he could easily reach my hand.“You’ve been quiet today,” he said, squeezing my fingers. “Still thinking about him?”“A little,” I admitted. “But mostly I’m thinking about us. How different this feels from my past. With David, everything was rushed promises and pressure. With you, it’s... gentle. Real.”He smiled warmly. “That’s all I want. To show you that love doesn’t have to hurt.” He pulled me closer until I sat on his lap. His arms wrapped around my waist. “Y

    I woke up early the next morning with a heavy feeling in my chest. David’s messages kept echoing in my head. This isn’t over. I couldn’t keep hiding it from Alexander anymore. He deserved to know. Our budding romance was too important to let secrets creep in.I found him in the dining room, sipping coffee and looking over some papers. Sunlight streamed through the windows, making the room feel warm and safe. But my nerves were jumping.“Alexander,” I said softly as I sat down. “I need to tell you something.”He put his papers aside right away and gave me his full attention. “What is it, Vivian? You look worried.”I took a deep breath and told him everything. The first message. The email. The latest one saying he knew where I was. My voice shook a little as I spoke. “I blocked him, but he keeps finding ways. It brings back all the pain—the pregnancies I lost, the way he chose Charlotte. I thought I was done with that chapter.”Alexander’s face hardened. His hands clenched around his co

  • REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 53: Shadows from the Past

    I stared at my phone screen until the words blurred. David’s message sat there like a dark cloud in an otherwise bright day. Vivian, it’s David. I need to talk to you. Please. I made a huge mistake. My stomach twisted. How did he get my new number? I deleted the message quickly, but it was too late. The words had already dug into my mind.I paced my bedroom, the yellow sundress from earlier now feeling too cheerful for how I felt. Last night’s warmth with Alexander—the kisses, the gentle touches, the honest talks—felt so fresh. I didn’t want David’s ghost ruining it. I sat on the edge of my bed and hugged a pillow tight. Memories flooded back. The four pregnancies I had ended because he promised a better future. The cold way his family had pushed me out. The divorce papers I signed in tears.“Why now?” I whispered. “Why after I’m finally starting to heal?”Morning light filled the room. I forced myself to get dressed in a simple blouse and jeans. Downstairs, the smell of breakfast gre

David’s broken promises still lingered in the back of my mind. I couldn’t let myself fall too fast, even if Alexander made me feel things I hadn’t felt in years. Safe. Desired. Seen.After drying off, I chose a simple yellow sundress. It was bright and made me feel more confident. I brushed my hair until it shone and headed downstairs. The house was quiet, but I could smell coffee and fresh toast coming from the dining area.Alexander was already there,
