The Billionaire’s Surrogate Wife

Sometime before, Valerie had asked the manager Joshua to prepare for his return to Indonesia. The woman no longer wanted to be invited to compromise, let alone postpone her plans to meet Samuel in Indonesia soon.

Not to mention, Valerie’s heart was made even hotter. She casually checked Samuel’s social media and found several uploads of intimate photos and videos of his lover with other women who seemed to be enjoying their holidays abroad.

That’s why he chose to separate from Joshua when he set foot in Indonesia again today. While her manager went straight to the apartment, Valerie herself, without much thought, immediately took herself to Samuel’s office. He was sure his girlfriend was still in the office at this time.

The tall, slender woman, wearing sunglasses and a black mini-dress, looked relaxed when they arrived at the Palma building. Just continue along the lobby to the corridor to the floor where Samuel’s room is.

A smile kept on Valerie’s lips when she ran into anyone at that time. He stopped when he reached the room he was going to.

Not finding Samuel’s secretary on standby at her desk, Valerie entered directly without permission. After all, he had also been to his lover’s room several times before.

Knocking once, Valerie immediately turned the lever on the door. Stepping in, he found the room owner looking busy, struggling with the pile of files.

Valerie flashed a smile. There’s no denying that we haven’t seen each other in months. Longing for Samuel piled up very much. Moreover, it had been a long time since he had contact with each other via video calls or just responding to short messages.

“Why else, Ariana? Is there a report you forgot to submit?”

While Valerie was watching Samuel, the man suddenly spoke without looking at the other person. He was sure that Samuel must have thought he was a secretary or staff working at Palma.

Not responding immediately, Valerie chose to step forward. Believing his position was very close, then he spoke.

“Dear.”

The sentence flowed lightly. In the next second, Valerie could see how Samuel immediately looked up. Gasp for a moment. As if doubting what he was seeing. Then, not long after, the man answered the greeting that Valerie had previously given.

“Valerie.”

Valerie’s sudden appearance caused Samuel’s brain to slow down. He did not expect that the woman he knew was abroad could now be in Indonesia, right inside his study.

Valerie herself continued to smile. The woman awkwardly walked up to Samuel’s position. And not long after, without the slightest feeling of awkwardness, trying to hug Samuel’s well-built body.

However, unexpectedly, the narrow-eyed man stepped back. He was immediately rejecting the hug that Valerie gives.

“What are you doing, Valerie?”

“I just want to hug you, honey. Don’t you miss me?” asked the woman confidently. “We haven’t even seen each other for months. I’m sure you must feel the same way I feel now.”

Samuel shook her head without saying a word. Seeing the man’s reaction in front of her, Valerie only smiled. Choose to retreat, then sit directly across from Samuel.

While outside the room, Ariana seemed busy finishing work at her desk. Moments later, he was surprised when Samuel suddenly came out of the room.

It wasn’t Samuel’s appearance that surprised him. But a figure of a woman he didn’t know also followed behind her husband.

“Ariana, I’m going out for a while. If someone is looking for or comes, you rearrange the schedule,” the man ordered.

“Where are you going, father?”

“I have a business for a moment,” he answered briefly, then walked away with a strange woman walking behind him, leaving a big question mark in Ariana’s mind. Who exactly is this figure?

When evening came, and it was time to go home, Ariana was still silent in her seat. She kept checking the watch on her wrist. Ariana also checked her cell phone several times.

Last time, Samuel sent him a text message. The man gave orders that he should only go home after he came.

Samuel: My business will be finished in a moment. You wait a moment, okay? Then we’ll go home together.

Ariana: What are you doing, anyway? Have a business meeting? Why isn’t it on the agenda?

After sending a response, Samuel no longer returned her messages. And now, it was past six in the afternoon. Until this moment, Samuel has not yet shown her nose. A little worried, Ariana tried to make contact. But nothing; his phone calls are not picked up at all. Feeling that her husband might still be busy, Ariana took the initiative to send a message.

Ariana: Where are you? Still long outside?

Ariana: So we go home together or not?

Ariana waited about 15 minutes. However, the husband replied to none of the messages he sent.

As it was getting dark, she decided to go to the ground floor. She walked into the lobby and chose to wait for her husband there. Spanking, worried, and at the same time thinking about Samuel’s condition, once again, Ariana sent a message. It doesn’t matter if the man later gets angry because she is disturbed by the series of letters she sent.

Ariana: Samuel, it’s half past seven; you still long?

Ariana: If it’s still long, I’ll go home first. I’ve been waiting for you in the lobby.

Ariana: Where are you, anyway? It needs to be clarified.

Ariana: Samuel? Please reply to my messages as soon as possible. Aliens didn’t abduct you, were you?

While waiting for a reply, Randa, who had just come down from above, saw Ariana’s presence. The man approached because he was worried about seeing his cousin’s wife looking very anxious and nervous.

“Ariana, what are you doing here?”

“Mr. Randa,” replied Ariana. He immediately stood up when the deputy leader was already before him. “I’m waiting for Mr Samuel.”

“Where is he?”

Ariana shrugged her shoulders. She needed to find out where her husband had gone.

“I don’t understand. I was told to wait here. He said he wanted to go home together. But it was almost night; he was nowhere to be seen. No one answered my calls and messages either.”

Randy nodded. The man took his cell phone out of his coat pocket. For a moment, it seemed to contact someone. Then it took some time to focus on Ariana.

“I tried to call, but he didn’t pick up. Maybe he has an important meeting.”

“Could be. But why tell me to wait without certainty like this.”

Randy laughed. He understood that Ariana could get annoyed like now.

“Okay, you just go home with me. Instead of being here alone, waiting for Samuel, who isn’t sure. You’ll be kidnapped by people or even eaten by ghosts.”

“Don’t be like that, sir.”

“Oh, I’m serious. So, be with me. Don’t be afraid; I won’t bite.”

Ariana thought for a moment. She was seriously considering whether it was necessary to accept Randa’s offer. But lingering and waiting for something uncertain like now is also unpleasant. Even if Samuel returns to pick her up and doesn’t find her, it will be her fault for making her wait uncertainly. He didn’t even reply to the message he sent.

“Okay, I’ll just go with you instead of waiting alone like a missing person.”

Randi smiled broadly. Finally, the offer he gave was also accepted by Ariana. The two of them then walked to the car to go home together.

***

After eating dinner, Ariana decided to return to the room immediately. Taking the laptop, the woman immediately sat on the sofa. She continued his work to evaluate the results of the presentation he delivered to Pakuwon.

After thirty minutes of struggling with work, the door to the room was heard being opened. There was Samuel, who had just entered the room. The man put the bag he was carrying on the table, then approached Ariana, who was sitting.

“Why did you come home with Randa?”

Instead of apologizing, the harsh words came out of the narrow-eyed man’s lips first as if tucked of irritation from the words he said.

Ariana was just unmoving. The woman looked indifferent. Not the least concerned about Samuel, who was waiting for his answer. Just keep on doing what he’s doing.

“Ariana, you hear me, right?”

Ariana kept silent. This, of course, made Samuel even more exasperated.

“Ariana Grey Walters,” called Samuel once again. The man’s voice sounded slightly raised. “I’m talking to you. Please answer!”

In that instant, Ariana immediately looked up. It was evident that he was showing an annoyed expression. While staring intently, in the end, he answered what Samuel had said earlier.

“If you pick me up on time, maybe I won’t go home with Randa. Besides, why are you asking me to wait, but you can’t tell me exactly when to pick her up!”

Annoyance was clear on Ariana’s face. Compared to Samuel, he dislikes people who break promises.

“Not in my message; I mentioned I would pick you up.”

“Yes,” nodded Ariana. “But you gave certainty not to pick him up at what time? Where is there a woman in this world who can stand being told to wait without certainty,” he chuckled later.

“You should just wait, Ariana. If I make a promise, I will keep it. The proof is that I will pick you up. But the security said that you went home with Randa instead.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“So you blame me?” Ariana then got up. Approach Samuel then speak again. “Okay. Okay, I really can’t wait. I even went home with another guy on purpose. I was wrong here. Satisfied with you!”

Annoyed, Ariana then walked away. Choose to crawl up onto the bed and then lay there.

Samuel herself could only take a deep breath. Rubbing his face in exasperation, the man could see the apparent annoyance on his wife’s face. This debate wouldn’t have been possible if he hadn’t brought Valerie out.

Because she didn’t want to prolong the problem and realized that she was wrong, Samuel approached Ariana, who was lying down. Walking around, the man deliberately looked for where his wife’s face was. Slowly sitting cross-legged, then grabbed the woman’s wrist.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered. Samuel knows. It must not be easy to make his wife forgive what he has done. “I’m sorry, Ariana. I was wrong because I’ve made you wait a long time without certainty.”

Ariana was silent. Like women in general, she seemed to be selling at a high price to respond or even apologize to her husband immediately.

“You won’t forgive me?” asked Samuel again.

Ariana was still shaking. Meanwhile, Samuel kept looking at her wife’s face with a sad look. Occasionally, the man kissed Ariana’s hand while continuing to say sorry.

“Okay, no need to kiss.” Ariana then tried to pull his wrist. But swiftly, Samuel instead grabbed Ariana’s body and hugged her.

“Samuel!”

“I won’t let go before you forgive me first.”

“I’m also not going to forgive you before you explain first; who was the woman you were with at the office earlier? And where were you two until you forgot to pick me up.”

“I haven’t forgotten, honey. You’re the only one who’s impatient.”

Ariana glared. He was still waiting for an answer to what Samuel would convey to the question he had just sent.

“If you can’t answer. It’s better to stay away. I want to sleep,” Ariana then threatened.

“Okay … okay … you jerk. I’ll tell you. The girl you saw at the office earlier was Valerie.”

“Valerie?” Ariana’s brow lifted high. He felt familiar with the name Samuel had just mentioned.

“Yes. Valerie Anastasia. She was my ex-girlfriend before marrying you.”

Ariana gasped as she gaped. It didn’t take long for him to respond to Samuel’s words.

“That’s what you don’t want to marry, right? What he said was overseas.”

“Yes,” nodded Samuel.

“How come he’s suddenly in Indonesia? For what purpose did he come to you?”

Samuel shrugged her shoulders. I also don’t care about the reasons that accompany Valerie’s return to Indonesia.

“How do I know why he suddenly came home and came to meet me.”

“Really? Then why are you two going out together.”

“It’s okay, Ariana.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Ariana’s eyes narrowed. He does not entirely believe what Samuel just said. “He’s your former favourite. He suddenly came home; I’m sure you’ll think about it and remember it all the time.”

Samuel chuckled. Rebutted strongly what Ariana accused him of.

“Remember your ex? How could you, Ariana? My person now is very grateful to have you.”

Ariana blushed. The woman’s reflex immediately pinched Samuel with exasperation.

“You bum. You’re good at seducing people.”

“Oh. Besides, I’ve emphasized it many times. Your husband is not the type of guy who likes to play with women. So, I also can’t have an affair. Unless God created more than one of you.”

“Alah, that’s it. You don’t need to talk anymore. After a while, I melted listening to your jokes.”

“So, I’m forgiven, right?” asked Samuel to make sure after seeing Ariana, who started to smile after previously frowning and looking very annoyed.

“Yes, this time I forgive you,” Ariana nodded, smiling.

“Thanks, honey. Then, hug me first.”

Ariana did not refuse. With sincerity, he granted Samuel’s request. She gave a brief hug before finally letting the husband go to clean himself.
