The Billionaire’s Surrogate Wife

Ariana watched carefully her husband who was currently enjoying his breakfast. Since last night, he’s been thinking about it. Actually, where did Samuel go.

The man admitted that he went out and wanted to meet Randa to discuss something. However, when Randa himself directly confirmed, he did not know anything about it. He even pretended that he was at home because he had just come from work. So, did Samuel lie to her? But, how come? Why did her husband have to lie to everything.

Because of what happened last night, bad thoughts immediately scattered in his brain. He questionedly pondered what exactly Samuel was hiding because her behavior had been so strange recently.

“Honey,” said Ariana shortly after sipping the warm milk in the glass she was holding.

“Yes, why, honey?” Samuel said, looking at Ariana. Flashing a smile, the man waited for what his wife wanted to say.

“You don’t have anything to say or tell me?” said the woman carefully. Which of these words even invited questions in Samuel’s mind.

“Stories? Stories about what?”

“Yes, who knows there is something important you want to tell me.”

Samuel finished her meal. Taking a sip of water in a glass for the sake of wetting his throat, the man then looked back at Ariana.

“Nothing, honey. I think I’ve told you everything. Besides, if anything happens, every time I want to sleep, I’ll definitely tell you first, right?”

Ariana took a deep breath. After an explanation, he still felt something was wrong. That’s why, taking advantage of the remaining time, Ariana asked again.

“What Randa said yesterday at the office was it true?”

Samuel’s brow furrowed at that moment.

“Randa’s talk? Which one?”

“The former thing,” Ariana said quietly.

Samuel was silent for a moment. I finally understand where this conversation is headed. Apparently his wife had given a code for him to tell about women from the past who suddenly returned.

What Samuel said, this was all because of Randa who was the culprit. If his cousin didn’t talk much, maybe there wouldn’t be a discussion like this. Samuel is lazy, actually bringing up the past.

“The woman who was in the room yesterday? Agatha?”

It was Ariana’s turn now to nod. To be honest, he was disturbed by the story that Randa told yesterday. Coupled with Samuel’s strange behavior recently.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect you to work with your ex.”

“But, I really don’t have anything, honey. I admit, Agatha was indeed my first girlfriend.”

“First love?”

“Yes. About that I do not argue at all.”

“And she’s the first woman you kissed too?”

Samuel took a deep breath. While continuing to stare closely, he could clearly see the dislike that Ariana was showing.

“Oh, come on, honey. Don’t go too far.”

“Far?” Ariana’s delict. “I’m just asking. You just have to answer yes or no.”

“The problem is, this is just the past. Even if, yes, she’s the first woman I kissed, then what do you want me to do? Erase my past? You can’t either. Besides, what’s the point of talking about the past like this? What’s the point? ”

Samuel got annoyed with herself. After all, so far he hasn’t discussed or brought up the past either for the sake of protecting each other’s feelings. It’s just that he likes to be confused. Why are women so fond of discussing exes or lovers in the past.

Later, when told at length and honestly, the women are also the ones who are annoyed and in the end they get angry. In fact, there are also those who don’t want to talk for days. This is actually what Samuel avoids.

“I just want to know, Ken,” Ariana said. Yes, basically he really wanted to know who Agatha was.

Samuel sighed. Trying very patiently to give understanding to Ariana.

“Okay. Agatha was indeed my first girlfriend, first love, first kiss, and first ex that I had a hard time forgetting at that time. Remember, Ariana. At that time, that means in the past. Now? I already have you,” explained the man length and width. “I personally don’t really like to talk about the past like I do now. After all, so far, I’ve never discussed your exes, have I?”

Ariana was silent when she heard Samuel’s sarcastic sound. Even though she had met her former doctor, Samuel was only mildly jealous. Not even to be discussed protracted or used as material for them to fight.

But, still. Ariana was still dissatisfied with her husband’s explanation, which seemed so stingy to tell.

“Yeah, yeah,” Samuel said again. “You don’t need to talk about it that much. It’s better to just talk about our household. I don’t know about you, about Kalvin, or the future child in your stomach right now. Instead of talking about other people who don’t mean anything to our family.”

Ariana just nodded. Seconds later Samuel got up, bent down to kiss his forehead briefly. The man then got ready to go to work.

“I’ll go first. Don’t be tired at home. If there’s anything or anything, please contact me immediately.”

Once again Ariana nodded and then let Samuel go, off to work. After her husband left, after doing a little exercise and sunbathing for a while, Ariana continued her activities by spending hours on the back porch. There, she tidied and watered many plants, as well as moving some of the flowers she had bought yesterday.

“Miss, where is the small shovel for moving the plant soil, huh?” asked Ariana to the assistant who was accompanying her.

“It’s in the storeroom, ma’am. Let me get it.”

“No need,” Ariana shook her head. “Let me take it myself. Ms. Tia, please help me get some pots. Because I can’t carry them,” Ariana asked with a smile.

While Tia took the pot, Ariana chose to walk towards the warehouse. Start looking for the shovel he needs. Opened several boxes containing tools. It wasn’t long before his eyes caught sight of a large transparent light purple box placed on the table.

This box caught his attention, because from the outside he could see some of the contents inside. Curious, Ariana pulled a chair to bring him closer to the box. Sitting down, Ariana then reached out to slowly open the box.

From inside the box, Ariana could see several toys. There were action figures, small dolls, music boxes, and what caught his attention the most was a gold album with ribbon and flower motifs.

Ariana then opened it. Read carefully the handwriting emblazoned on the left side of the page.

“Happy Birthday, Samuel. I give this album so that you will always remember me forever. From me who loves you so much – Agatha Selvia.”

Ariana immediately chuckled. His heart warmed himself reading what was written there.

“Well, use memories of all the photos. You’re tacky!” Ariana growled as she opened the album sheet to then look at the photo collection inside.

“This has always been beautiful. No wonder Samuel is her first love,” Ariana muttered while looking at the photo in front of her.

“If you keep meeting in a beautiful office like this, Samuel CLBK might as well!”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Ariana just kept overthinking. In her brain, the bad prejudices that might be carried out by her husband out there are already dancing.

“This can’t be allowed. Anyway, I have to find out for myself.”

“If you look around, there are no problems with land preparation and road access. I am optimistic that this project can be completed within a maximum period of 2 years.”

Samuel is currently talking in the meeting room with Randa and Agatha. They are currently discussing, discussing the matter of apartments and also a shopping center that will be built soon.

The three of them looked serious. Throwing material to each other for later evaluation. Agatha, who was starting to feel comfortable in Palma, didn’t even miss the slightest opportunity to hear how Samuel presented her ideas briefly.

Agatha needs to admit that her ex-boyfriend is indeed very credible in carrying out his duties and work. Agatha was even amazed to see Samuel’s character, who was always serious in giving explanations.

“If the tower here is completed, the next stone will be laying of the first stone for the tower in Singapore, right?” asked Agatha to make sure.

“Yeah, that’s right,” Samuel nodded. “That means our team will take turns staying in Singapore.”

Agatha smiled broadly. Imagine how it was Samuel who took turns living in Singapore and herself hosting the man.

“That means Mr. Samuel will stay there?”

Samuel smiled knowingly. But then the man shook his head. “Maybe I only visit once in a while. Because the one who handles and is responsible for all these tenders is Mr. Randa. So, it is very likely that he will be the one going back and forth or maybe staying in Singapore.”

A feeling of disappointment had crossed Agatha’s heart. In fact, he really hoped that Samuel would handle all of this. At least, if the man stays in Singapore, he has plenty of time and can be more free to get close.

“Me and Samuel are just the same, Mrs. Agatha,” said Randa, smiling. “So, don’t worry about the project not running or not being successful.”

Agatha smiled shyly. Worried about what he thinks or wants to be read by other people.

“No offense, Mr. Randa. I was just making sure. It didn’t mean anything.”

“I understand,” said Randa.

Samuel glanced at the watch on her wrist. Looking at the time already indicated it was time to rest. He then ended the meeting.

“Because it’s already lunch time, our discussion ends here first. Later, if there is anything that needs to be evaluated, we can discuss it again.”

Samuel and Randa compactly rose from their seats. While Randa left the room first, Samuel and Agatha were left behind, who was tidying up the files on the table. Once finished, the woman asked to speak.

“Thank you very much for the time to share, sir. If something is unclear, I can ask you directly, right?”

Samuel nodded.

“Please, Miss Agatha. I will be happy and I will help as much as I can.”

Agatha smiled knowingly. He seemed happy because he felt that Samuel was still willing to help and pay attention to him. Until it didn’t take long for a big desire to arise which he then conveyed immediately to the man in front of him.

“If later I invite you to eat and meet outside, that’s fine, right? I have a lot to tell you.”

Meanwhile elsewhere, Randa seemed to be walking hastily to approach Ariana who was waiting for her at the cafe which is right next to the Palma building. I don’t know what his cousin’s wife wants to talk about. Just suddenly called and asked to talk.

“What did you ask me to come here for?” Randa asked when she found Ariana in the cafe.

“I have something to ask you,” said the woman. Then took the shopper bag that he was wearing. Then after taking something out of there. “Tell me a little about this woman,” Ariana asked, showing several intimate photos between Samuel and Agatha which were taken when the two were dating.

Randy chuckled. Glancing at the photos, the man then spoke.

“My goodness, is this the story of being a husband’s spy again?”

“It’s up to you what you want to say. What is clear, I have to know how this girl is.”

“But, you came here to meet me, Samuel knows, right?”

Ariana shook her head. She didn’t even ask her husband’s permission to go out, even to meet Randa. If he had known, Samuel would have immediately given a long lecture.

“He didn’t know that I met you. If he told me, he would ask all kinds of questions later. It’s really lazy when it’s complicated,” explained the woman.

“You naughty thing. Later, what will happen to you, your husband will be bothered.”

“Okay, ah. Back to our business. Tell me about this woman whose name is Agatha.”

“Yes, he is Samuel’s boyfriend. First boyfriend, first love. The girlfriend he loves the most than Valerie.”

“Oh yes?”

Randi nodded.

“In the past, when they broke up, Samuel found it difficult to move on, was under a lot of stress and became a closed person.”

“That’s so much,” Ariana chuckled. He didn’t accept seeing Samuel get to that extent with her ex.

“Yes, the name is also love. In essence, the two of them separated when they were still in love. In fact, Samuel already had plans to ask Agatha to get engaged.”

Ariana was getting annoyed hearing Randa’s explanation. Apparently it was true what she felt when her husband used to love her ex so much.

“Then, it’s been a long time since Agatha returned to Indonesia?”

“Not really,” Randa shook her head. “Maybe just in the last month or two.”

Ariana gasped. His mind was increasingly everywhere after hearing Randa’s explanation.

“Could it be Agatha who has been frequently contacting Samuel all this time. Which is really suspicious.”

Randa pulled her face in. He didn’t understand what Ariana meant.

“Agatha contact Samuel?”

“Yeah, I don’t know if it’s true that Agatha called or not. However, Samuel’s behavior was strange. Like someone who didn’t want me to find out.”

“Even if it’s Agatha, they’re talking about work, time and time again.”

“Impossible,” said Ariana. “When it comes to work, why do you hide all that? It’s like talking about state secrets.”

“Why don’t you just ask directly, anyway? Instead of making such vague guesses like this?” randa grumbled. He becomes annoyed with the behavior of women when they are jealous of their partners.

“I’ve tried asking. But, Samuel seems really lazy to talk about exes. Then, I want to ask who. Who knows, maybe she’s deliberately hiding something from me.”

“But, thinking about it, Agatha is really beautiful,” said Randa honestly. It was clear from the look in his eyes that he wasn’t lying. “Even if I were Samuel, I would think about it too. Especially if we meet every day. It’s possible to get back into a relationship. Yes, even if it’s secretly.”

“Randa, ah!” exclaimed Ariana didn’t like it. This man only made her think even more. “No stove!”

“It’s not a stove, it’s realistic. Where is Agatha sexy too? She’s a crossbreed like that. As a normal guy and I see her almost every day, I’ll be smitten too. Now, let’s go back to Samuel. Is she tempted or not.”

Ariana then fell silent. He thought for a long time while continuing to guess. What exactly is being hidden by her husband. I’m also afraid that what Randa said will actually happen.

Dizzy thinking about Samuel herself, Ariana decided to go with Randa to the Palma building with the intention of meeting her husband.

However, when crossing the lobby, Randa and Ariana saw Samuel’s figure who had just stepped out of the elevator from a distance and walked outside.

Curious, Ariana tried to get closer to then hide near the pillars of the building. Curious to know, where her husband is going in this suit.

And before actually leaving the building, Ariana could see Samuel standing not far from the security desk. Taking his cell phone out of his trouser pocket, he saw that he was receiving a call from someone.

“Yes, this just came out. So where should we meet?”

Ariana and Randa could clearly hear what Samuel was talking about. While hiding, the two continued to eavesdrop.

“Meet up at home right away? Okay. Just wait. It’s straight away, really. I can’t wait too.”

Seeing her husband who was already walking towards the car. Ariana immediately pulled Randa. Staring at her for help from her husband’s cousin.

“Randa, Please, take me to follow where Samuel is going.”
