Oops, I'm My Rival's Surrogate!
By @john1208
Pimla's morning goes from bad to worse when her toaster explodes, her little brother's school calls, and a team of men in suits kicks down her apartment door. They aren't the dangerous loan sharks she owes; they're the elite retrieval squad for Kaldor Vancour, the icy CEO of Vancour Synthetics. Kaldor's image-obsessed fiancée demands a child without the bodily ruin, and the company's algorithm miraculously matched Kaldor with an anonymous surrogate. Surprise: the surrogate is Pimla, his most hated former industry rival. Forced to move into Kaldor's high-security penthouse to keep the pregnancy safe, Pimla expects a nightmare of cold glares. Instead, the sterile CEO becomes absurdly overprotective, threatening a hostile corporate takeover of a closed dumpling restaurant at 3 AM just to satisfy her pregnancy cravings. But as Kaldor's obsession shifts from the baby to the woman carrying it, a hilarious and terrifying secret emerges: Pimla's forgotten, pre-amnesia self intentionally hacked the genetic registry to orchestrate this exact scenario. What happens when the fiercely protective CEO realizes he was trapped by a master plan?
