Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

“She’s got a husband, a kid on the way, and a comfy life, how do you think she’s doing here? There isn’t much that Ophelia wants – a happy family consisting of a man who loves her and a healthy baby is all she needs. And now, they are exactly what she has. So please, get the hell away from her life,” said Madeleine.

Tassach felt a slight pang of hurt, but he wouldn’t admit defeat just yet. “But Zach is seeing another woman! How’s that a happy family for Ophelia? Are you even her best friend?”

“So,” retorted Madeleine, “as long as Zach doesn’t file for divorce, she will always be the young Mrs. Chambers.”

“How can you even say that?”

“What else am I supposed to say then?”

About four years ago, in order to pay off her debts, Ophelia had married Zachariah under a set of extremely stringent rules, which stipulated, among other things, that even if Zachariah cheated and got some other woman pregnant, Ophelia, still, would have no right to object, and could only swallow her pain.

“Now level with me, Madeleine. Did Ophelia sign some kind of a prenup before she married Zachariah?”

“Why do you have to such a smartass?” thought Madeleine.

“What prenup?” asked Madeleine, feigning ignorance.

“I don’t buy it for a second that you don’t know,” replied Tassach, “I’ve looked into it. Zachariah wouldn’t have married Ophelia if Cora Fletcher hadn’t run away from the altar. Since the Chambers are a prominent family, and since Zachariah doesn’t really fancy Ophelia at all, there must have been a prenup in their marriage. And you’ll know since you’re her best friend.”

“So what if I do know? Will it make a difference if I tell you?”
