The Billionaire’s Surrogate Wife

Ariana was indeed born an orphan. She had never dreamed of anything so lofty or even outlandish in all her life.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

From the beginning, Ariana just hoped to have a good job. Adequate salary. So that she can help and dedicate her whole life to an orphanage as a form of reciprocity.

Ariana is sure that if Mother Clara had not existed, I don’t know what she would have become now. Her foster mother desperately struggled to send him to school so he could study up to university level. Even when you graduate, you can immediately get a good job as an HRD staff for a company like Palma Palace.

In the past, Ariana thought her life would go smoothly without any problems. All matters, such as personal or work problems, have been smooth in recent years.

Until not how long he gets a promotion to rise in office. Ariana thought her life would get better in the future. However, this allegation was not proven this time.

God seemed to want to play with Ariana deliberately. Crushed by an emergency problem, he inevitably has to deal with it and agrees to Samuel’s plan.

Having let go for a few days, even sacrificing work to avoid getting involved in Samuel’s games, made Ariana feel calm. However, all this did not last long. Today, he was again entangled. It will likely be involved in a much bigger and deeper game than before.

“Have you read the contents of our marriage contract? If something is missing or you want to add, say it.”

This afternoon, Samuel and Ariana were in a notary office trusted by Palma Palace. Accompanied by Axton, each of the two was backreading the agreement files Samuel had previously drafted.

Feeling that there was nothing else that needed to be added or corrected, Ariana, without hesitation, immediately grabbed the pen. Put his signature there, then handed over the file to the Notary who had been waiting.

“I’ve read it many times. No need to correct it anymore. What is certain, if Mr. Samuel Valerietes one of the points there, this contract is void, and you must pay me double compensation, right?”

“That’s right,” Samuel said, nodding. “Same vice versa. If you end the contract unilaterally, you must compensate for all the money I have spent.”

“Okay! Agreed. So, when do we get married?”

“As soon as possible. What is certain is that you first inform the foster mother that I will likely invite Mrs. Clara to have dinner together soon. Then after that, my parents will visit to propose,” said Samuel.

As Arabella said, she wanted to meet Ariana’s guardian to propose and marry her soon. That’s why Samuel has to arrange her schedule carefully in advance so that everything can go according to plan.

“In that case, when I return from here, I will immediately convey your plans to the orphanage. I will let you know what the next developments are like.”

“Please. I’m waiting to hear from you as soon as possible. Later, if there are any developments regarding Pakuwon, I’ll let you know immediately. Mr. William may invite the two of us to discuss it first.”

“Okay, I understand,” said Ariana. “Is there anything else we should discuss?”

“Nothing,” Samuel said, shaking her head. “For the money I promised, Ben will take care of everything. You wait to hear from him.”

“Ready, sir. Later, if anything happens, I will immediately follow up with Pak Axton.”

Ariana arrived at the orphanage and immediately approached Clara, who had just finished writing a report on the children’s activities in her office. Seeing her foster mother looking free, Ariana approached and sat right in front of her.

“Mom, Ariana wants to talk for a while. Mom, do you have time?”

Clara looked up. Throwing a thin smile, the woman in the Mocca brown hijab immediately nodded. From the expression on his face, he was sure that there was something very important that Ariana wanted to convey.

“Just say it, Ariana. Since when did Mother not have time for you?” he answered casually, making Ariana smile back. “What do you want to talk about?”

“Ariana wants to get married, Bun.”

Clara was immediately taken aback and shocked. How could his foster children easily convey the news that they wanted to get married as if they were carefree? After all, who would you marry? Clara knew very well that Ariana was not in a close relationship with any man.

“Don’t joke, Ariana. It’s not funny,” Clara said later.

“Ariana is serious, Mom. Ariana wants to get married soon. That’s why now she’s asking permission from Mother.”

“Who do you want to marry? You don’t even have a girlfriend.”

Ariana then nodded. He put on a pouty face as he pursed his lips in annoyance.

“If it’s just a boyfriend, have time, Mom. It’s just Ariana who has never exposed or introduced her to Mother.”

“Then, why have you never been introduced to Mother suddenly want to get married?” Clara looked at Ariana’s face seriously. A few seconds later, the middle-aged woman’s eyes narrowed as if she was investigating something. “Or are you back with who it was, your ex? Angga Pradita?”

“My goodness, Mother.” Ariana immediately exclaimed. Why was her foster mother discussing this jerk who betrayed her? “Who is going back with Angga? Rich in this world, he’s the only guy.”

“Then who is it?” Clara’s face looked even more curious. Why doesn’t Ariana go straight to the point instead of convoluted stories? “You’re weird, Ariana. There’s no wind or rain. You never told me you had a new boyfriend; you know you’re about to get married. Anyone who hears this will think of all sorts of things.”

After all, what Clara said was true. Whoever it was would have thought strange because after breaking up a few years ago, Ariana was never seen to be close to any man again.

If you suddenly want to get married now, surely everyone will have different thoughts. Or even accuse her of being pregnant first.

“It’s not strange, Mom. However, Ariana is serious about getting married. If Mother gives permission, her parents will invite Mother to meet. Shortly, they will also come to propose directly to Ariana.”

“So, are you serious about getting married?”

Ariana nodded again. It was clear from the look in his eyes that he was really serious. Not a shred of doubt appeared on his face.

“Yes. Ariana already said that this is not a joke.”

Clara was silent for a few moments. She was still feeling confused. But if you think about it, if you have reached the stage where the parents of the future husband want to visit, it means that Ariana’s relationship is very serious indeed.

“Actually, who do you want to marry? Did you know before?” inquired Clara. For God’s sake, he was still groping about the man Ariana wanted to make as a future husband.

Ariana immediately shook her head. Of course, her foster mother couldn’t know who Samuel was.

“I know,” the woman squeaked.

“Who, Ariana? You just made Mother even more curious.”

Ariana was silent for a moment. Considering once again, then before long, the woman worked up the courage to tell her foster mother. Sooner or later, Clara had to be told, right?

“Ariana wants to marry Pak Samuel, Mam.”

“Really!”

Don’t ask how shocked Clara was. Even if Ariana reconnects with a man, it’s not a problem for Clara. It’s just that he didn’t expect that the man his foster child was referring to was his own boss.

“How did you want to marry Mr. Samuel? Since when did you have a relationship? You didn’t do anything to your boss, did you? Or maybe you got pregnant first?”

“Mother, ugh! I keep accusing my feelings. Already Ariana said Ariana wasn’t pregnant first or anything.”

“Yes, so?”

“If you keep going, those who are there will crash into Mother.”

“You, ah. Mother is serious, even joking.”

“Ariana has been serious too. But Mother is accusing her everywhere.”

“You don’t think so.”

She smiled. Trying to convince Clara, the woman grabbed her foster mother’s wrist. She was staring deeply while saying earnestly.

“You don’t need to worry or think about anything bad. Nothing bad happened to Ariana. Mr. Samuel is also serious. That’s why his parents wanted to meet soon to get acquainted and discuss the proposal.”

“Then, how about your relationship with Ariana? When do you want to take it to a more serious level?” asked Arga.

Like Arabella, Alfonso also couldn’t wait to see his only son end his bachelor period, not to mention the personality as well as the branding that Ariana displayed the other day at his wife’s birthday event, which managed to attract the attention of clients to invest and even collaborate with Palma Palace.

Because of this, Arga also felt Ariana was a suitable partner to accompany Samuel. Apart from mastering the business field, both can become solid teams to develop the company to be more advanced in the future.

“Papa already knows from Mama that Mr. William even dares to invest heavily in Palma because of Ariana. So, I hope you don’t waste this great opportunity either. You are lucky to have a partner with good personal branding like Ariana.”

Samuel nodded. He did not deny what his father said. Samuel admits that Ariana’s way of working is really good.

From Axton, too, he knew that Ariana always reached work targets easily before changing positions to become a secretary in the old division. There were also many clients the woman was convinced to agree with and finally managed to work with Palma Palace. If you think about it, it’s also a loss to fire or releases Ariana from the company’s scope.

“This afternoon, Samuel stopped by Mama and Papa’s house because she wanted to talk about this.”

“So, have you decided when to get married?”

Arabella seemed to ask enthusiastically. From the look in his eyes, one could see him twinkling full of happiness. It was not clear what Samuel would convey to herself and her husband.

“Yes, Mom,” Samuel nodded. “Ariana has also conveyed to her guardian the matter of our family who wants to visit to propose.”

“The foster mother agrees?”

Samuel nodded confidently.

“They are happy to wait for all of us to arrive. However, before the application ceremony starts, Samuel wants to invite Ariana’s foster mother to have dinner with Mama and Papa so we can get to know each other better.”

“Okay, Mama agreed. We invite Ariana and her foster mother to dinner at our house tomorrow. Later, Mama will prepare delicious food so we can all talk smoothly.”

“Okay. When you leave here, Samuel will call Ariana immediately.”

“Then have you set the wedding date? Or do you want Mama and Papa to decide?” asked Arabella as she glanced at her husband.

“For the wedding date, Samuel left it to Mama and Papa. But, before everything took place, Samuel and Ariana had one request.”

“What request?”

Samuel glanced at her parents in turn. He watched for a moment, then answered.

“Samuel and Ariana agreed that our wedding ceremony would be held in Bali privately without the need to invite or be covered by the media.”

At that moment, Arabella immediately looked at her husband. Give a code whether to agree with what Samuel told them.

“You are the only child of your father and mother. Your wedding with Ariana should have been held on a luxurious and large scale,” said Alfonso.

“No, Dad,” Samuel shook her head. “We both deliberately asked for this wedding to be held privately in Bali so we could enjoy all the proceedings sacredly. Samuel needs privacy. After all, Papa and Mama can still invite company or business colleagues. It’s just that Samuel asked for the number to be limited and not that You need to invite all kinds of media. Let them find out by themselves.”

Samuel deliberately limited the invitations to attend the wedding between herself and Ariana. In addition to avoiding widespread public speculation, Samuel also wanted to dispel the media, which would dig up information and, at the same time, ask why she suddenly got married. Samuel was tired of wasting time giving all kinds of information.

“Okay, Mama agreed,” said Ariana. “It doesn’t matter if you want the wedding procession to be held privately. Regarding the event’s location, Mama also doesn’t mind you choosing Bali. In fact, according to Mama, it’s better because you two can go straight to your honeymoon after getting married.”

Samuel exhaled slowly. Lazy to argue, he chose to nod. It’s up to his parents to speculate as to what. The important thing is that the initial plan he compiled can run as it should.

“Then, Mama and Papa, just get ready. After dinner tomorrow, as soon as possible, our family and I will visit Ariana’s place to propose.”

Arabella smiled broadly. Seconds she then nodded in agreement. Of course, he couldn’t wait and was so enthusiastic to immediately carry out one by one the procession of preparing for his son’s wedding.

It had become Arabella’s dream to see Samuel bring a partner. Then married, then not long to give him many grandchildren as the successor to the Samuel family.

“Regarding rings, dresses, and other needs, let Mama take care of it. You have to prepare yourself. What is certain is that Mama can’t wait to see you two get married soon.”
