SURROGATE FOR THE COLD BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 105
Dominic’s POVThe room went silent.Nobody moved. Nobody breathed.My eyes stayed on the document sitting on the table between us.A single folded sheet of paper.Nothing remarkable about it.And yet somehow it felt heavier than everything else we’d dealt with over the last few months.Emma sat beside me.I could feel the tension radiating from her.The hurt.The betrayal.The confusion.I wanted to take all of it away.Instead, I reached for the document.Blake didn’t stop me.Didn’t say a word.I unfolded it slowly.Marcus moved closer.Emma leaned forward.The first thing I saw was a name.A familiar name.For a second, my brain refused to process it.Then it did.And I felt something cold settle in my chest.“No.”Marcus took the paper from my hand.

Emma’s POVI stared at the message.Over and over again.The words didn’t change.Emma.We need to talk.It’s about what I did to you and James.My hands were shaking.Not violently.Just enough that I noticed.Enough that Dominic noticed too.He gently took the phone from my hand and read the message himself.The second he finished, his jaw tightened.“Absolutely not.”I blinked.“What?”“You’re not meeting him alone.”I almost laughed.Only Dominic could jump straight to that conclusion.“I haven’t even replied.”“Good.”He set the phone on the coffee table.“As far as I’m concerned, that’s where it stays.”I folded my arms.“That’s not realistic.”“It is if I throw it into the river.”Despite everything, I smiled.Just a little.Dominic noticed.His expression softened.Only for a moment.Then the concern returned.“Emma.”“I know.”“No, I don’t

Emma’s POVI knew something was wrong the moment Dominic walked through the penthouse door.It was almost ten at night.The twins were asleep.Mrs. Kowalski had gone home.I had been sitting on the couch pretending to read the same page of a cookbook for nearly an hour.Waiting.Worrying.The second I saw his face, I stood.“What happened?”Dominic closed the door behind him.For a moment, he just looked at me.Like seeing me was helping him hold himself together.Then he crossed the room and pulled me into his arms.I wrapped my arms around his waist immediately.His heartbeat was fast.Much faster than normal.“Dominic?”He buried his face in my hair.“We need to talk.”My stomach dropped.Those four words never meant anything good.I pulled back enough to look at him.“About R

Dominic’s POVNobody argues with me.That should have been my first warning.Usually, when I make a decision while angry, Marcus argues.Emma argues.Mrs. Kowalski definitely argues.This time, nobody says a word.Emma rises from her chair and walks toward me.Her hand slides into mine.“Don’t go there looking for a fight.”I look at her.“I’m not.”She raises an eyebrow.We both know that’s a lie.“Dominic.”“I’m going for answers.”“You can get answers without declaring war.”Marcus snorts into his coffee.I ignore him.Emma squeezes my hand.“Promise me you’ll listen before you react.”“I’ll listen.”“That’s not what I asked.”I sigh.“I’ll try.”She studies me for a second.Then she nods.It’s the best she’s getting.An hour later,
SURROGATE FOR THE COLD BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 101
Emma’s POVFor a second, I can’t breathe.The sounds of the city fade into the background.Cars.People.Traffic.Everything disappears.I stare at Dominic.“How?”His jaw tightens.“I don’t know yet.”“What does that mean?”“It means Marcus hasn’t seen the entire filing.”His hand remains wrapped around mine.Firm.Steady.Like he’s afraid I’ll disappear if he lets go.“We need to get home,” he says.The drive back to the penthouse is silent.Not because we don’t want to talk.Because neither of us knows what to say.The twins are asleep at home with their nanny.Our wedding is four weeks away.Lily is finally healthy.For the first time in years, everything was beginning to feel stable.Now Raymond is trying to destroy it.Again.By the time
SURROGATE FOR THE COLD BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 100
Emma’s POVThe dress shop smells faintly of lavender and expensive fabric.Dominic keeps his promise.Mostly.He waits outside.For exactly seven minutes.Then I catch his reflection in the front window pretending to study a display of handbags while very obviously checking whether I’m still alive.Mrs. Kowalski, who somehow invited herself along after overhearing our plans, follows my gaze and snorts.“He’s terrible at pretending.”“I know.”“He has been pacing.”“It’s been seven minutes.”“He started pacing at minute two.”I laugh despite myself.The consultant helping me smiles.“The fiancé?”The word lands softly.Not shocking anymore.Not frightening.Just true.“Yes,” I say.The answer still feels new.Wonderful.Mine.The consultant leads me toward another fitting room.I’ve already rejected six dresses.One looked too formal.One felt too young.One made me look like a decorative cake topper.Mrs. Kowalski hated that one almost as much as I did.“This one,” she says now, thrus

Dominic's POV The park looks exactly the same. That's the thing about places that mattered. They don't adjust for your absence. The bench by the east path still has the split in the third slat. The cart is still on the corner with the same faded yellow umbr

Dominic's POV She kissed me. I've kissed before. That's not what I mean. I mean she kissed me the way she does everything, with her whole self committed to it, hand at my jaw, completely deliberate, and the world rearranged itself into before an

Emma's POV I woke up on the couch. Specifically, I woke up against Dominic on the couch, my head on his chest, his arm around me, both of us having fallen asleep somewhere after ten without negotiating it. I don't move.
