ABBY:
I find myself developing feelings for the man whose baby I’m carrying.
The issue is: the baby isn’t mine. And the somber widower isn’t in search of a lasting relationship.
As a surrogate, the agreement was that my stay in England would only last until the birth.
Initially, the man, Sigmund Benedictus, appeared as arrogant as his name suggests. We clashed.
Sig questioned my motives, accusing me of doing this solely for financial gain.
Over time, he began to trust me.
He even started to show a protective side. Gradually, our fiery disagreements transformed into intense chemistry.
I was falling for him. But my stay here was temporary. I had to guard my heart against the devastatingly handsome older man who would inevitably shatter it.
SIG:
When my in-laws expressed their desire to use my deceased wife’s eggs to have a grandchild, I wasn’t entirely convinced. They insisted that Britney had expressed this wish on her deathbed—but only if I was the father. They were adamant that they would be the ones to raise the child.
Despite my reservations, I consented.
I made a promise to myself to keep my emotions detached.
I would continue to live in denial, maintaining the solitary life I’d grown used to in the five years since Britney’s passing.
And even though a certain young American named Abby Knickerbocker had stirred feelings in me that I believed were long gone…
I was determined not to fall for the surrogate.
