ACCIDENTAL SURROGATE FOR THE RUTHLESS ALPHA

CHAPTER TWO

Daisy pov

I froze at a spot and as I listened to Finn, it got the better of me. There was confidence in his tone, like he knew this day would come and had already hatched a plan for it.

“What do you mean?” I forced myself to stay calm, trying to find out what he had in mind.

“I am telling you that even if you get the best lawyer. I am not granting you a divorce, especially not now that you have just a few months left to live or maybe even days.”

“What is that supposed to mean?” My blood turned cold, fear took hold of me as I try to wonder if this was the same man I married.

“You are a smart Daisy and from the Bennet family, should you be able to put the pieces together or did you think it was because of your beauty that I had married you?”

He scoffed. Like he was staring at a beast in front of him. “I am sorry, Daisy, but I thought you would notice the change in your body and everything else. Why did you think that you have been finding it difficult conceiving?”

He ended all his hurtful words with a question and as I stood at a spot. I was starting to put the pieces together.

“You have been poisoning me!” This was certainly not a question. This is definitely why I have been to the hospital countless times lately. It was why my body suddenly started failing me, which was why I had become so desperate to have a child.

I could hear my heart racing, the pain slicing through me, making it very difficult for me to breathe.

All these years, he stood by me, took me to the hospital for all checkup, held my hand with affection and assured me that everything was going to be alright, all this while he had been orchestrating my death.

“See! I told you were smart, and now you've figured it out, but right now, I don't think you even have up to a month. I could just give you the last dose here and all of this will be over.”

A devious smirk curled through his lips. Making me take steps backwards. Wondering how I lived with this man for three years and didn't see this side of him.

I knew I couldn't stay there any longer. Finn badly wanted my inheritance and, from the look of things, he was ready to do anything to get it.

Just as I turned around, ready to dash out of there. I felt two strong hands grab me. I looked up and realized it was his guards.

I had no clue when they arrived in the hallway, but it wasn't looking good for me.

“Let me go, Finn, I will sign the inheritance for you. Please, you don't have to soil your hands with blood. Please,” I pleaded in desperation with everything in me.

“You don't have to worry about that. You would be surprised as to how many deaths,” he expressed calmly and now. My gaze shifted to Laura, who didn't seem bothered about this.

“Is this the kind of man you want to be with?”

“Don't worry about me, right now, you should be worried about yourself,” her gaze slowly drifted to Finn, who remained calm as he walked back to his office.

His guards were still holding me. I was pinned to the ground and when he returned again, he was holding a syringe in his hand.

“What is this?” even as I asked, I knew the answer, my heart began pounding rapidly. I had to think of a way to get out of here, else I would die and Fin would get away with everything.

“Don't worry baby. This will take you out of your misery. And for the record, I loved you, Daisy. I loved you so much and felt so sorry when you cried at night and hated yourself for not being able to bear a child, but the truth remains that you were not worthy of carrying my child.”

I was torn between pain, rage and confusion. Should I go ahead and tell him about the baby I was carrying?

Seeing the monster before me. I prayed he wouldn't find out about the pregnancy. Scared about what he might decide to do to the fetus inside of me.

“Don't worry Daisy. It's not going to be painful, that is because I still love you and I want you to have a peaceful sleep.”

He spoke and pulled the syringe close to me. I shut my eyes, wondering how I got here, how I got from trying to announce the news of my pregnancy to ending up getting killed alongside my fetus.

But even at that moment, it made me wonder if things would have been different if he found out that I was pregnant, that I was carrying his child inside of me, but I shook my head, Laura was carrying his child and that was the only child he regarded as his.

My heart shattered into tiny pieces, everything I was, everything I had. My position at the company, I gave everything to him and this was how I ended.

Just as he pieces the string inside my skin, ready to push the fluid inside, a loud menacing growl stopped him at his track.

“STOP!!” The voice growled and trembled everywhere. My eyes were shut, but it was clear that this wasn't a human. This was certainly a beast.

“What the f**k!” I heard Finn's gasp. I opened my eyes and as Finn pulled away from me, the fear in his eyes was nothing like I had ever seen.

His eyes popped wide, sweat had covered his face and he was trembling. The two guards who were also holding me had backed down. I turned around ready to see why they were all afraid.

As my eyes locked with his, my breath stopped. Behind me was a white wolf, his fur was massive, and his slivering eyes bore into mine like it was calling out to me.
