บททั้งหมดของ Xavier's Surrogate: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

June is an ass kisser. Halle felt almost stupid that it too her this long to realize it. June wasn’t rude to the people she considered high-class and top of the food chain, Victoria and Xavier were all of those things and more which was why June treated them with revered respect if that was a thing, same with Martha and the men that always lingered around Monty and Stan. And Halle? She was just a woman that didn’t deserve the position she was in due to her background that June knew absolutely nothing about but yet the woman looked down on her like she was a piece of a dead fly’s wing in the mud. Sometimes it made Halle wonder if the woman could actually see the stains that she carried from her childhood but always dismisses the thought because that would be stupid. June just hated her for some reason, and unknown reason that Halle was slowly beginning to accept but that didn’t mean she would keep quiet like a fool when she was obviously offended. June had begrudgingly offered to

Tunde looked at Halle with a reassuring smile that seemed to be tinged with worry. “I'm sure everything is going to be fine, after all, Xavier’s best at ignoring the people he cares about,” When he said the last part, his tone dropped and dripped with venom…his eyes narrowed and he looked at Xavier with an unfathomable gaze. Halle heard a tick, Xavier’s expression had hardened and he was now openly glaring at the man who stood in from of them. “Yeah, you know I also learnt that skill from you,”Were they… “Xavier, Tunde…you both shouldn’t do this today,” Victoria suffer sounding like this wasn’t the first time and she was already exhausted from it, “It is a happy occasion…somewhat…if I could go back in time I might stop you from ever being born,” Victoria admitted with a bark of laughter, Tunde shook his head while the corners of Xavier’s lips lifted. “Me too,” He said. Then the tension between them dissipated and Victoria let out a low sigh of relief that Halle was sure sh

There was a terrace that led to a balcony with a small garden. Halle walked slowly to the garden, enjoying the cool breeze that caressed her skin and calmed her raging thoughts. Her hormones were doing a lot, she wanted him and this was what she was afraid of that once she had him, she would never have enough. Infatuated. This was what Greta had warned her about even when she had told the woman that she wanted to be with him despite it all. Now the intensity of the emotions she felt towards him scared her, love. She loved him but there was this niggling at the back of her mind that told her she would get hurt if she gave her all. Halle didn’t want to give her all. She wanted to be under the illusion that this was just doing Martha a favor, or she was trying to keep him happy before he succumbs to his illness but no. No. She knew it was more than that. Once Halle reached the balcony, she fished out her phone from her purse and dialed Greta's number, her heart and mind a myriad

Back for good? The fuck does that mean?! “Xavier had called me last night, said he wanted me to come over…so which made me assume you were out already but then again,” She looked down at Halle’s stomach again, out of impulse, Halle used her hands to shield her lower belly from the woman’s gaze, not liking how unsettled it made her feel. “You're with him due to special circumstances, I understand he can’t just kick you our whole you’re carrying his child,”“He…called you last night?”Andrea's smile widened and Halle wished she didn’t give the woman the satisfaction but she did. Last night her and Xavier had fallen asleep, spent from their ‘activities’. At a certain time she had groggily opened her eyes and his phone was pressed against his ear and he was speaking in a really low voice so she wouldn’t wake up. Halle had wondered who he was talking to at that hour but she was to sleepy to form the words so she went back to sleep feeling that it was nothing to worry about, besid

Halle shook him off and made her way to the bed, she didn’t sit down but rather pathetically reached for her the lace ropes behind the dress as she tried to get out of it. She heard Xavier’s sigh behind her and then his footsteps as she made his way towards her and tried to help her undo the lace ropes used to hold the dress. Halle slipped the paper Tunde had given her into her purse and set it down on the bedside table, making a mental note to check what was in it once she was alone. Something told her that he didn’t want Xavier to know what it was and just to be on the safe side, Halle decided that she would keep it from him as well. The last thing she wanted was to make an already rocky friendship get worse. As Halle stepped out of the dress and all that was left on her was the black lace underwear set Victoria had made her wear as a gift, she felt his hot gaze on her but she pretended not to notice. She folded up the dress and kept it on the bed. Then she set her heels on the ta
