Grace's POV

"The interesting entry I just found was about a charity event she attended with you," I continued, my heart pounding so hard I was sure everyone could hear it. But I needed to do this for Hunter. "Where she met and had sex with Chief Patrick Summerset in the garden that very night. She even talks about making plans to see him again."

The room went completely silent. Elliott's jaw dropped. Morrison straightened from her position against the wall.

"I didn't have time to find out if that happened," I said, my eyes still fixed on the one-way glass. "But it would explain why Hunter was arrested without grounds, and maybe where this anonymous tip came from. Did you make the call, Chief Summerset? Are you the only one to know about it."

I took two steps closer to the window, facing the mirror directly. "Do you have it in for Hunter, Chief Summerset, because you were sleeping with my sister before her death."

Through the glass reflection, I saw both detectives exchanging alarmed l

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Seven

    Grace's POV"He knew nothing about the payments, about the egg switch, about any of it. The diary makes that clear. Helena only involved people she could control. Even Hunter was kept in the dark." Because there was no way Helena could ever control Hunter. She may have thought she could.Detective Morrison nodded. "The evidence supports that. Your father wasn't involved in the financial arrangements."Relief washed through me, even though I'd known it was true. Dad had been as manipulated as I had, just in a different way."What about the clinic?" Hunter asked. "When will it be shut down?""The state medical board has already suspended their license pending investigation," Elliott replied. "The doctor directly involved will face criminal charges."Quinn gathered her papers. "I think we're done here. My clients have been more than cooperative."As we stood to leave, Morrison addressed me one last time. "Mrs. Sinclair, I want you to know, what happened to you was wrong. No one should ha

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Six

    Grace’s POVAs we pulled into the parking lot of the police station, I spotted Quinn's sleek black car already waiting.She stepped out as we approached, impeccable as always in a tailored suit, her expression giving nothing away. But her eyes softened when she saw me."How are you holding up?" she asked."I'm okay," I said, managing a small smile. "Got some good news this morning, actually."Quinn tilted her head, curiosity flashing across her face."We will tell you later," Hunter said."Well," Quinn said, straightening her shoulders, "let's get this over with so you can go home."I nodded, taking a deep breath as we approached the station entrance. Reporters clustered near the doors, cameras at the ready. Hunter's arm went around me protectively."Mrs. Sinclair! Is it true you're pregnant?" one shouted."Hunter! Do you have any comment?"Quinn stepped in front of us, her voice cutting through the chaos. "No questions. Mrs. Sinclair is here to cooperate fully with the investigation.

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One-Hundred-Five

    Grace’s POVAs we drove away from the doctor's office, I kept stealing glances at the ultrasound images clutched in my hands. Two babies. Twins. The reality of it still hadn't fully sunk in."Twins," I whispered again, running my finger over the fuzzy outline of Baby A, then Baby B. "I still can't believe it."Hunter reached across the console and squeezed my knee, his eyes never leaving the road. "How are you feeling?""A little overwhelmed and terrified. But excited." I laughed softly. "All of the above? It's a lot to take in.""It is," he agreed, his voice gentle. "But we've got this, Grace. Together. Just think, it could have been triplets.""Then I would really be worried where they will fit." I studied his profile, the strong line of his jaw, the slight curve of his lips that hadn't fully disappeared since the moment Dr. Bates had said the word "twins." Hunter had always wanted a family. I knew this was everything to him."I'm going to get so big," I said, imagining my petite fr

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Four

    Grace's POVMonday morning, Hunter had already taken the day off. We would need to go to the police station after the scan so I could make a statement about the surrogacy. The detectives had called late Sunday afternoon. So much for contacting us later; they hadn't waited long.I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at my reflection. My hand drifted to my stomach for the thousandth time since waking. Today we'd see our baby for the first time. Hear the heartbeat. Make it real in a way even the positive test hadn't managed."You ready?" Hunter's voice came from the bedroom.I took a breath. "As I'll ever be."When I emerged, he was waiting, already dressed in dark jeans and a sweater. The casual look suited him, made him seem less CEO and more... sexy and mine. That I was still getting used to. That he was truly mine.His eyes swept over me, lingering on the simple dress I'd chosen. "Beautiful.""I'm a little nervous," I admitted.He crossed to me, his hands settling on my wa

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Three

    Grace's POVI forced my eyes open, reality slowly creeping back as my body hummed with the aftershocks of pleasure. Hunter's weight pressed me into the mattress; his breathing still ragged against my neck. I hadn't meant to come without his permission. The realization sent a flutter of nervous excitement through me."I'm sorry," I whispered.Hunter lifted his head, those beautiful eyes finding mine, his expression amused. "For what?""I came without permission."His lips curved into a slow, dangerous smile. "You did, didn't you?" He shifted, easing out of me with careful movements before rolling to his side, propping himself on one elbow to look down at me. "I was going to build you up all night, Grace. Make you beg for it."I swallowed hard, watching as his fingers trailed lazily across my stomach, leaving goosebumps in their wake. "Are you... disappointed?""Disappointed?" He laughed, the sound low and rough. "No, baby. I'm thinking about how to punish you next time."My breath caug

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Two

    Grace's POVOn the drive back to our house, Hunter kept one hand on the wheel, the other resting on my thigh, his thumb tracing slow circles that sent little sparks through me. Every time I glanced at him, I caught him watching me, a knowing look that made my stomach flutter."You're thinking about tonight," he said, his voice low.I swallowed. "Maybe."His lips curved slightly. "Good. You should be."The way he said it, so confident, so sure, sent a shiver down my spine. I shifted in my seat, suddenly hyper-aware of how my body responded to him.Hunter's hand slid higher, his fingers brushing dangerously close to the apex of my thighs. "You're already wet, aren't you?"My breath hitched. "Hunter—""Tell me the truth." His voice dropped. "Are you wet thinking about what I'm going to do to you?"I pressed my thighs together, but it only made the ache worse. "Yes."His fingers pressed harder, just for a second, before retreating. "Good girl."I squirmed in my seat, my body thrumming wit
