Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 3

“You...” Savannah was so mad that she was speechless for a few moments before responding. “You’ll regret what you said today.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t regret it.”

Without looking back, Ophelia returned to the house. As soon as she entered the guest room the Chambers family prepared for her and Zachariah, her expression darkened visibly. She felt like her heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand, leaving her in a great deal of pain.

Ophelia hugged the doll on the bed and breathed in the familiar scent, a wave of calm rushing over her.

She took out her phone and made a call.

When the person on the other end answered, she put on a smile and spoke in a flirtatious tone. “Dear, I miss you.”

Zachariah paused and finally replied. “Knock it off. I’m in a meeting. I’ll see you at nine o’clock tonight in our usual place.” Then he hung up without another word.

Ophelia stared at the phone in a daze. Although they’d been married for four years, they rarely said more than a few words to each other, and never anything meaningful.

Zachariah always regarded her as a woman who was driven by money and nothing more.

Ophelia spent an entire day in the Chambers’ mansion. After having dinner with Helena, she drove back to the apartment she and Zachariah shared downtown.

As soon as she got home, she put down her bag and handpicked the outfit for her date that evening. The usual place Zachariah mentioned was nothing more than a five-star hotel they visited frequently.

Even if she knew Zachariah didn’t love her, she didn’t want him to treat her like a drowned rat.

****

At nine o’clock that evening, Ophelia arrived at the hotel and unlocked the door to the presidential suite. Before she knew what was happening, she was pushed against the wall by a powerful force. A broad chest pressed against her and held her in place.

She smelled the familiar breath and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Mr. Chambers, aren’t you going to ask me if I made your mother angry at the villa first?”

Looking at her, Zachariah just shrugged indifferently. “Mom did always have a thing for you and she just called me and asked me to treat you better.”

“Really? Since she said so, why are you still bullying me like this, Mr. Chambers?” Ophelia asked with a smile.

Staring into her eyes, Zachariah lowered his head and kissed her affectionately on the lips.
