The Intended Father Is A Billionaire's Son

DANIELLA POV

"What happened to our vows? What about the promises we made? Does this mean our wedding was nothing but a joke?"

I just concluded my wedding three hours ago, filled with nothing but happiness over the plans I have for my future with my husband.

But everything has been ruined. Both the wedding and the future have been ruined. I've been looking around for my husband, only to step into my best friend's room to find him in bed with her.

"How could you do this to me, Maxwell?" I yelled at my so-called husband. He just pulled his naked body off Michelle, trying to hide his shame.

"Daniella, relax. Let's talk." "Talk? Maxwell, did I hear you say we should talk?" I questioned, getting furious at his audacity to utter that after what I saw with my eyes. "I caught you having fun with my best friend and you want to talk? Talk about what?!"

"Daniella take it easy. Let's talk," Michelle said, wrapping her body with a sheet. I glared at her and ordered her to shut up. "Stay out of this you whore! I am talking to my husband." "Your husband?" Michelle lifted her brow at me, letting out a smirk. What does she mean by that question?

She looked at Maxwell, placed her hand on his shoulder, and said to me, "Didn't you tell her that you are my husband?" "Your husband?

What nonsense are you talking about?" "Daniella, don't talk to Michelle like that, " Maxwell said, showing his support towards Michelle. He can't be serious. This woman is claiming he's her husband and he's busy supporting her?

Wait. Is... Is Michelle... I could see how Maxwell looked away quietly, but Michelle kept her bold gaze on me. "Your wife?" I questioned Maxwell. He sighed and said, " Daniella, look.

Don't make a fuss about this. Just relax and listen." "My goodness. Michelle is your wife?" My hands came on my forehead, as I felt weakness taking over me.

What Maxwell said next left me stunned. He only married me to be Michelle's surrogate since she can't give birth to her child. "You are still my wife, but you'll just be Michelle's surrogate, okay my love?" He said, using that word love to try and sweet talk me.

But now it all makes sense to me. From the beginning when I first met Maxwell, Michelle was the one who pushed me to him. Michelle and I happened to become friends at a coffee store.

Then out of nowhere, Maxwell came into the picture, stealing my heart with his charm and words, and Michelle pushed me to accept him. "All of these have been a plan. You both deceived me, " I said, finally knowing the truth. Maxwell and Michelle tried to make me understand from their point that they needed my womb to house a baby for them. But I can't accept this betrayal.

"Babe, you are still my wife. Just Michelle's surrogate, that's all, " Maxwell repeated. I couldn't help but laugh at his words. "You must be mad if you think I'll stand and listen to this rubbish." In a rage, I stormed out of my so-called home and left Maxwell with his wife. "Quit this nonsense attitude, Daniella! You have no choice!" Maxwell yelled while I left.

There's no way I'm going to be a surrogate to those two or anyone. . I resumed back to work after a few days of my marriage. On my way home from my company, after a hectic day, I discovered my account had been cleared. "What the hell?!" I sparked on seeing the debit alert. All my life savings are gone!

This got me running down to the bank to find out what happened, only to learn that Maxwell and Michelle had wiped my account completely. Like that wasn't enough, they both gave my house and company as collateral to get an extra loan. This means I can't even step into my home or company anymore.

They have wrecked me. "You gave your husband the go-ahead ma'am. He told us, " The accountant had shared, making it sound like it's my fault. And I won't blame her for speaking that way. This is all my fault indeed. When I was crazy about Maxwell, I foolishly gave him access to all my properties, money, company... I foolishly gave it to him, and he took it all with Michelle.

In shame, I left the bank to avoid any more humiliation. I stepped out with a heavy heart, unable to deny the fact that I brought this upon myself. "I blame myself for my downfall. I am such a fool for loving that bastard," I groaned, walking away from the bank. But I know why Maxwell did all that.

He wants to get me to be Michelle's surrogate by all means. I haven't forgotten what he said and all his text messages. He kept pestering and threatening me, but I ignored him. And now, he has gone as far as wrecking me, just so I can come and beg him and he'll make me bear his and Michelle's child.

"Never!" I spat, swaying my head in anger. "No matter what, I will not allow myself to be brought down. I will not accept Maxwell's offer.

I know he wants me to come and beg, but I won't. I won't allow it, " I promised myself, feeling tears welling up in my eyes. I can't help it. My mind went to all the beautiful memories with Maxwell. All the outings, dates, kisses, passionate embrace... Love has finally failed me. Where do I start from?

"That word Love now sounds like poison to me. I will never forgive you for this, Maxwell. I will never forgive you, " I cried, feeling depression taking over me at once. I wiped my eyes, wrapping my arms across my chest as I thought of all the things I'd lost.

I just don't know where to start from. "I've lost everything. What can I..." HONK! The sound of a car came to my right. I didn't even realize that I had stepped into the main road.

Not until I found myself lying on the floor, unable to move. I've been hit. I could hear a voice fading away and a foot approaching me from the car, as my eyes dimmed, falling unconscious.

DANIELLA

"Heaven, why didn't you just take me away? It was clear that I was meant to die after being hit by that car. Why didn't you just take my soul instead of leaving me here on earth?" I spoke to the heavens alone.

It's almost like I was losing my senses.

I woke up thirty minutes ago to find myself here in the hospital. The doctor had checked up on me and said I'd be fine after a day or two.

"You just need rest, that's all. No bones broken," He shared with me.

But that's not the kind of news I wanted.

At least give me bad news that can take my soul from this earth. I don't think I can stay anymore after what happened. I just can't.

But now that I'm alive, I can't deny the fact that I'm still wrecked. I have nothing.

"You have a visitor," I heard the nurse say.

I directed my gaze to the entrance and noticed a young man in a suit, holding a bouquet of rose flowers in his hand.

He steps in, followed by the nurse exiting the room, leaving me and this man alone.

Who is he?

"It's good that you are awake and healthy," He said, dumping the flower aside like it's nothing.

"Who are you?" I asked, watching him take a seat next to me.

His brow levitated at my question, as he crossed his leg like one at a meeting, answering, " Let me first of all apologize for the accident. Didn't see you coming."

So he's the one who knocked me down? But what's with the arrogant behavior?

I should be the one putting on that attitude and not him.

"And I'm glad it happened."

"What?" I lifted my brow at his word.

He's glad it happened? Is he sick?

He introduces himself as Ralph Johnson, the son of a famous Billionaire and CEO of his company.

When I heard the name, my eyes shimmered. I've heard of Ralph Johnson before. He's arrogant and doesn't give a damn about people. I never thought I'd come face to face with him one day.

But from what he said, I felt there was something fishy about his rescue.

Yes, he is the one who knocked me down and still rescued me. You hardly hear a billionaire stand up to his crime, unless...

"I want to make a deal with you, " He said, revealing just what I had in mind.

"I rescued you and spent my money to save your life, so I expect you to do something in return for me."

"And what is that?" I asked, feeling nothing but detest growing within me.

"I need you to be a surrogate mother."

What is wrong with all these men and surrogates lately?

Why am I always finding myself in a surrogate situation?

"It's simple. All I need is a healthy woman to give me a child, so I can finally get my father's empire. I need you to do this for me."

"Why need a surrogate when you can go and marry a woman out there? " I questioned.

Ralph's eyes dimmed at me with displeasure. Am I wrong to ask?

" I don't fancy marriage or relationship," He revealed, leaving me surprised.

"And that's the issue I'm having at this very moment. My father can't help but feel ashamed of me just because I am a divorcee."

Wow! I didn't know that he was even married. I only know he's an arrogant fellow.

"Two marriages, two divorces. I don't fancy marriage and it is causing an issue in my path to success. My father considers me a failure for having no woman to stand by me and give me a child. He has threatened to give his empire to charity if I don't give him an heir, and I can't allow that, " He shared with me.

"Marriage will never bring you peace but pain, and I'm not ready for such drama. I prefer having a surrogate mother to give me a child and leave as soon as the job is done. And I hope you can do this job for me, " He said, leaning back, waiting for my response.

Despite his story, I still didn't find this idea pleasing to my ears.

Me, become a surrogate mother, and leave the child afterward?

Do I appear like a trash bag in men's eyes?

"Think about it, Daniella."

"How did you know my name?" I questioned, finding this stunning.

"Your card said so," He said, taking out my ID card and placing it on the table next to my bed.

"You aren't doing this for free. Surely I'll pay you for the work. You'll get riches, money, all your heart desires I'll grant to you if you agree to be my surrogate. What do you say?" He tabled before me.

I found myself thinking instead of rejecting at once.

After what Maxwell and Michelle did to me, the word Surrogate now irritates me like hell!

I had the opportunity to say No to Ralph, but I found this idea beneficial to me differently.

If I agree to Ralph's offer, I'll be back on my feet again and show both Maxwell and Michelle that they can't bring me down.

Now that they have all my property, they'll be waiting to see me at the door.

But no. I'm going to make them wait long till they fall.

I won't fall for their plan. Instead, they'll be shocked to see me back on my feet, better than before.

Dropping my attention back on Ralph, who kept waiting for my answer, I signed and agreed to his offer.

"Okay then. I will be your surrogate," I accepted.

"Good. I hope you do your best and fulfill your end of the deal," He said, extending his hand out to me.

I took hold of his strong hand, promising to give him what he wanted.

DANIELLA

Two days later, I was released from the hospital.

Ralph had taken me over to his home to stay there since I had accepted to be his surrogate. And I didn't object to it.

After all, I have nowhere to go after what that damn husband of mine and betraying backstabbing best friend called Michelle, did to me.

Since I didn't return to beg those two, Maxwell began calling my line and leaving text messages on my phone, demanding my whereabouts.

When I saw the messages, I deleted them and blocked both his lines as well as well Michelle's.

I got myself a new line from the money Ralph kept for me to take care of myself. In that way, Maxwell and his wife can't reach out to me or bother my life anymore.

After relaxing a bit at Ralph's place, the arrogant fellow came to me one night and said, "Get dressed, we're going to see my father, " He said, tossing a red dress at me.

It felt funny at first, but nervous afterward. I'm going to see Mr Johnson at last as his son's lover.

Goodness. If not for the situation I'm in, I wouldn't be here acting like someone's wife or accepting a deal to be a surrogate.

I got dressed as Ralph wanted and joined him downstairs where he was waiting for me.

When he saw me, I noticed how his rude expression changed... Calm.

He stared at me strangely, until I was standing beside him.

"Is everything okay?" I asked noticing how he gazed at my body.

"Is something wrong with the dress?" I asked, slowly getting embarrassed.

But Ralph said nothing was wrong and suggested we leave at once.

If nothing is wrong then why was he looking at me that way?

I agreed with him and got into the car with Ralph, who drove me down to his father's mansion.

The sight of the building alone is mind-blowing. He's indeed a billionaire.

Ralph took me in to see his father. The old man's eyes first fell on me, looking astonished.

Seems he wasn't expecting his son to bring home a lady after calling him a failure.

"Dad, I'd like you to meet my fiance, Daniella," Ralph introduced.

"Daniella, what a lovely name, " Mr Johnson said, taking hold of my hand for a kiss.

As a lady of class and etiquette, I presented myself well before Ralph's father, leaving both father and son amused.

Mr Johnson took a liking to me. He couldn't help but talk to me about what my plans were with his son.

And I ended up giving him all the plans I once had for that cheating husband of mine.

I shared it with both father and son.

It made me sad cause it was my dream, and it was ruined.

"You have a lovely lady, Ralph. I'm proud of you," Mr. Johnson praised his son.

I could see delight all over his son's face. He smiled, thanking his father for his words while stealing a glance at me.

I gave him what he wanted after all.

.

After spending some hours with Mr Johnson, Ralph and I journeyed back to his place, silently.

I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about Maxwell and my ruined marriage. By now, if he hadn't betrayed me, we would have been having so much fun as a couple. But he ruined it all.

I will never forgive him.

"Are you okay?" I heard Ralph ask.

Turning to face him, I realized we'd arrived at his mansion already.

"Oh, we're back," I said, getting myself.

"I was asking you a question but you seemed to be lost in your thoughts," Ralph said to me.

"Really? I didn't know. My apologies," I apologized to him.

He hummed before stepping out of his car.

Ralph and I made our way towards his home. I found myself walking slowly and Ralph's eyes fell on me.

With his arrogant nature which he has been keeping down since I came in, I didn't want to be the one to spike it with my mood.

So, I applied speed to my feet, hurrying into the house.

On getting to my room, I suddenly heard Ralph's voice from behind. He called my name.

"Yes?" I responded, turning around to find him closer to me, almost taking up all the space between us.

That's fast! How did he get here?

His eyes fixed on me as he stayed quiet suddenly. I felt something strange in my heart while looking at him, but just didn't know what or how to point it out.

"Is there something you need?" I asked softly with my back resting against my door.

Ralph's eyes still didn't leave me. I saw his lips drawing down slowly, giving words a space to escape his lips.

"Just wanted to thank you," He said.

"Oh, you're welcome," I said, letting out a curve at Ralph, with my hand going right behind to unlock the door.

"What is this that I'm feeling?" I asked while looking at Ralph.

My eyes scanned this well-built man, covered in nothing but charm and handsomeness.

I felt a tingling feeling developing within me.

The door came open finally. I said my good night to Ralph, stepping in.

He said nothing but stood there, gazing at me.

I stepped in, shutting the door slowly. Only for someone to hold it from closing up, stepping into the room, and grabbing me off my feet.

I gasped when my back came falling on the bed and my eyes staring at Ralph. He didn't even give me a chance to say anything but locked his lips with mine in pleasure.

When he did this, I felt shocked, reminding myself at once that I was married.

"Married? That is no marriage but a sham. I was tricked. Maxwell has no right over me. No right," I admitted to myself in my head, welcoming Ralph's body on mine.

The way he held on to me kissing with so much passion...

Gosh! He's good.
