When a Billionaire Falls for a Surrogate Mother

"Ms. Woods, congratulations, you are eight weeks pregnant!"

Fiona Woods was thunderstruck. "What?"

Was she eight weeks pregnant? How could that be?

She and Darwin Solomon had always been very careful, strictly using contraception.

Thinking back, she vaguely remembered that on Darwin's birthday two months ago, they had a brief moment of risky behavior at the beginning, but it was only once.

"Ms. Woods, you are not someone who easily gets pregnant. It's best to keep them," the doctor said tactfully, seeing Fiona come alone for the check-up and look exhausted.

She was not easily pregnant, yet it happened in one go.

Should she consider herself lucky or not?

Fiona felt a deep bitterness.

Coming out of the hospital, she was in a daze for a while.

Her hand holding the test results was still trembling; tears welled up, but she didn't know if she was happy or not.

Five years ago, creditors came knocking, and Fiona's grandmother was seriously ill. She urgently needed a large sum of money.

Just when she was in utter despair, she met Darwin.

It was said that she looked very much like his first love, Lilian Robbins, who was the apple of his eye.

However, Lilian had married overseas to a famous noble family when Darwin had an accident and became a vegetative state.

He must have truly loved her deeply; even after being abandoned, he couldn't let go.

After meeting Fiona, Darwin helped her settle her family's debts and arranged for the best hospital to treat her grandmother. And Fiona became his secretary in public and his lover in private.

For these five years, she hid her true self, imitating everything about Lilian, being obedient and gentle, and doing her utmost to please Darwin. She was long tired of it.

Calming down, Fiona quickly weighed the pros and cons.

She glanced at her flat belly, thinking, 'I can't give birth to them.'

Yesterday afternoon, Darwin, the president of the Atlas Group, returned from a two-week business trip. This time, he unusually didn't take Fiona with him.

Fiona thought Darwin was finally tired of her.

She was happy about it. She hoped he would quickly move on to the next one.

Unexpectedly, Darwin, after returning from his trip, couldn't even wait for her to get off work. He directly pulled her into the secretary's lounge.

After a round of lovemaking, in the lounge, her dress and Darwin's custom suit were scattered all over the place.

Darwin held her tightly from behind, planting hot kisses on her neck.

Fiona gently reminded him that the shareholders were waiting for him to start the meeting.

Darwin responded coldly, then let go of her and went straight to the bathroom.

Fiona, enduring the discomfort in her body, went to get Darwin's spare suit.

After Darwin finished his shower and changed into his suit, Fiona gently helped him with his tie.

He looked down at Fiona, who was gentle, obedient, and sensible, and he was very satisfied.

"There's a check on the table, two million dollars," Darwin said slowly, "Also, the villa at Emerald Pool will be transferred to your name."

Fiona stopped and looked at Darwin in confusion. "Mr. Solomon, why..."

Darwin's eyes were full of contempt. He raised his hand to pinch her chin. "It's a reward."

Was it a reward? Or was it the rumored breakup fee?

Although Darwin had always been generous to her, he had never given so much at once.

Darwin's thumb gently rubbed Fiona's slightly swollen lips, his cold tone carrying a hint of persuasion. "As long as you continue to be this obedient and well-behaved, I'll give you more in the future."

Fiona looked at Darwin, puzzled.

Didn't he plan to break up with her?

Fiona put on a demure and charming look, nodding lightly. "Mr. Solomon, I understand."

After she responded, the irritation on Darwin's face instantly disappeared.

He nodded slightly. "Go home this afternoon."

Fiona nodded.

Darwin left directly.

After he left, Fiona picked up the check, her beautiful eyebrows tightly furrowed, recalling the news push she saw on her phone in the morning.

[Breaking News! the Atlas Group's president to get engaged to the daughter of the century-old Ross family. The union of two powerful financial families may bring significant changes to the global capital landscape.]

Fiona gently rubbed her forehead, laughing helplessly. 'Is this the reason Darwin suddenly gave her two million dollars and a villa? To let her continue being his obedient bedmate, the third party in his marriage?'

Her stomach churned.

She rushed to the bathroom, retching.

Fiona looked up at the mirror, seeing her pale and somewhat disheveled self.

Darwin was truly a bastard. He was about to get married, yet he couldn't let go of Lilian and still clung to her, the substitute.

Fiona had even accidentally seen a girl who looked more like Lilian than herself by Darwin's side.

She thought, 'This substitute, whoever wants to be it can be it. Screw this!'
