Surrogate to my Ex’s Billionaire brother
BLURB
Callista Hayes has always sacrificed everything for the people she loves.
Drowning in debt and desperate to save her husband Tristan from loan sharks, she makes the ultimate sacrifice: signing a highly lucrative, commercial surrogacy contract. But the day the embryo is implanted, Callista visits Tristan's office to surprise him, only to catch him fucking a girl on his desk.
Tristan doesn't flinch and smugly reveals he is actually the heir to a massive billionaire empire and his temporary "exile" is over. He throws signed divorce papers at her, calls her a pathetic charity case, and has security drag her out. Humiliated and homeless, Callista is summoned the next morning by the surrogacy agency for a mandatory meeting with the anonymous VIP client.
She walks into the dining room of a sprawling mega-estate and freezes. Tristan is sitting at the table with his new fiancée. Sitting at the head of the table is Kaelen Hawthorne, the terrifying, ice-cold billionaire owner of the city's biggest sports franchise. Tristan explodes, accusing Callista of being a master manipulator who seduced her way into the surrogacy to steal his family's money.
Kaelen, blinded by hatred for his brother, believes the lie. But because she carries his heir, he refuses to let her go. He traps Callista in his penthouse under strict, 24/7 security. Callista thinks she is walking into a highly paid prison sentence. She doesn't expect Tristan to become a dangerous, obsessed stalker. She doesn't expect Kaelen's toxic wife to try and destroy her. And she definitely doesn't expect the terrifying Ice King to start looking at her like he wants to burn the whole world down just to keep her safe.

Chapter: Chapter 4 : KaelenFor thirty-two years, I had run my life on a single, uncompromising law: absolute control.I had built Hawthorne Athletics from the ash and ruin of a family that bled me dry. I trusted no one. Not my board, not my executives, and certainly not the blood-sucking vultures who shared my last name. Every asset, every contract, every heartbeat of my billion-dollar empire was locked down and heavily insured against betrayal.And yet, sitting at the head of the long dining table this morning, my jaw was clenched so tightly my back teeth ached."Really, Kaelen, it's pathetic," My mother, Judith Hawthorne sighed, delicately dabbing her lips with a napkin before setting her fork down. She glared across the table with thinly veiled contempt. "Bringing this cold, silent hostility to breakfast? Genevieve is trying her best. You need to forgive her, settle this absurd dispute, and restore peace to this family. You're making a mockery of your father's memory by letting this bitter grudge drag on."

Chapter: Chapter 3Callie"We are going back to that clinic right now, and you are telling them to undo it."Iris, my best friend, was pacing the narrow length of her cramped, paint-splattered studio apartment, her combat boots thudding aggressively against the floor. She was holding a half-empty mug of black coffee like it was a weapon, her dark curls practically vibrating with rage."Iris, it doesn't work like that," I whispered, pulling the scratchy wool blanket tighter around my shoulders.I was huddled on her lumpy futon, wearing a pair of her oversized sweatpants and an old band t-shirt. My damp, ruined clothes were currently tumbling in the laundromat machine down the street. I was entirely exhausted, my bones aching with a deep, hollow chill that no amount of blankets could seem to cure."I don't care how it works, Callie!" Iris yelled, whirling around to point her coffee mug at me. Dark circles framed her eyes, she had stayed awake the entire night holding me while I sobbed so hard I couldn't b

Chapter: Chapter 2 CallieI stood paralyzed in the doorway, waiting for the frantic scramble. I waited for him to shove the woman away, to pull up his pants in horrified panic, to stammer out a desperate, tearful apology and swear it was all a massive mistake. I waited for the man I had just sold my body to save to show a single ounce of remorse.But it never came.Instead, the brief flash of surprise in his dark eyes instantly dissolved into cold, hard annoyance. He didn't scramble backward. He didn't even look ashamed. With agonizing slowness, he casually stepped away from the desk and reached down to pull up his pants, his movements entirely unbothered.The brunette beneath him didn't scramble for her clothes either. She leaned back on her elbows, crossing her tanned legs, and let out a soft, mocking laugh."Well," the woman purred, her gaze raking over my terrified face with absolute disdain. "You didn't mention your little charity project was the clingy type, Tristan.""She’s not usually," Tristan replied

Chapter: Chapter 1 Callie"Breathe, Callista. You're doing wonderfully," Dr. Anaya murmured gently from the foot of the examination table.I stared up at the blank white ceiling, tracing the faint watermarks on the plaster just to give my mind something to hold onto. My bare legs were trembling slightly against the cold metal stirrups, a dull, heavy cramp radiating deep through my lower abdomen, a physical reminder of the procedure I had just endured.I heard the snap of her gloves being pulled off and tossed into the bin. The doctor stepped into my line of sight, her warm brown eyes carrying a flicker of genuine sympathy that I immediately wanted to look away from. "The embryo has been successfully transferred. Rest here for fifteen minutes, and then you're free to get dressed."I swallowed hard, my throat feeling dry. "It's done?""It's done," Dr. Roth confirmed softly. She placed a warm hand on my knee. "Congratulations. You are officially pregnant."Pregnant.The word felt entirely foreign, dropping into t
