We mail the letter at eight fifteen.Emma holds it until the last second, standing at the post box on the corner of Clement, and then she lets it go with the specific expression of someone releasing something they've been carrying for a long time.

SURROGATE FOR THE COLD BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 120
Emma’s POVHome again, the suitcases finally set down, I began unpacking slowly while Dominic carried the twins inside. “The trip was good,” he said. “So many memories made.”I smiled, still holding onto the feeling of it. “Yes, the beach was absolutely perfect.”Marcus was already waiting for us. “Welcome back. I’ve got updates ready whenever you want them.”“What’s the status on the inheritance?” I asked quickly.“Complete,” Marcus replied. “The trusts are fully active now.”Dominic sat down at the table. “Any word from Victoria?”Marcus shook his head. “None. Still quiet.”“And Grace,” I asked, “has she been forgotten entirely?”Marcus laughed. “Completely. There’s no trace of her left in any of this.”We reviewed the paperwork together one more time. “It really feels like we’ve come full circle, as a family,” I said.“We have,” Dominic agreed. “And we’re stronger for it.”“Custody is airtight now,” Marcus added. “Completely safe from any challenge.”“What comes next?” I asked.“Ju

Emma’s POVThe beach days had started to blend together in the best possible way, and I woke slowly that morning to find Dominic already outside with the twins. “Morning,” he called. “Breakfast is ready whenever you are.”I joined them at the table, reaching for something light. “Fresh fruit sounds perfect right now.”Marcus called shortly after for a quick check-in. “Just confirming everything’s smooth back home.”“Any threats we should worry about?” I asked quickly.“Nothing,” Marcus replied. “Clean across the board, and Victoria remains completely silent.”Dominic took the phone for a moment. “Is the inheritance fully locked in now?”“Completely,” Marcus confirmed. “The trusts are all set and finalized.”“And Eric,” I asked, “still confirmed out of the picture?”“Out,” Marcus said. “No contact from him at all.”The call ended quickly, and I turned back to Dominic. “Let’s just relax a little more today.”“Agreed,” he said. “Back to the beach it is.”The sand felt warm beneath us as

Emma’s POVThe beach morning arrived warm and bright, and I stretched slowly while Dominic handed me a cup of coffee. “What’s the plan for today? Swimming, maybe?”I took a sip, letting the warmth settle in. “The twins first, of course. Some time in the sand before anything else.”Marcus called shortly after. “Morning. Everything back home is fine.”“Is the inheritance officially final now?” I asked quickly.“Yes,” Marcus replied. “Fully signed off, nothing left pending.”Dominic joined the call briefly. “Any news on Victoria’s end?”“None,” Marcus said. “Completely silent.”“And Grace?” I asked. “Still irrelevant to all of this?”Marcus laughed. “Completely. She’s gone from the picture entirely.”Once the call ended, I turned to Dominic. “We’re really free now, aren’t we?”“Yes,” he agreed. “The rest of this vacation is entirely ours.”We spread our towels out on the sand, and I watched the waves roll in gently. “They’re so calm today.”Dominic knelt down and started building a sandc
SURROGATE FOR THE COLD BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 117
Emma’s POVThe suitcases sat open on the bed, and I packed light, folding beach clothes while Dominic worked beside me. “We just need enough for the twins, nothing extra,” he said.I kept folding small shirts. “Do we have swim gear that’s actually safe for them?”Marcus stopped by briefly before we left. “Travel is cleared, and security is fully set for the trip.”“Any update on the inheritance?” I asked quickly.“Filed, smoothly,” Marcus replied.Dominic zipped up one of the bags. “What about Victoria? Anything to report?”“Quiet,” Marcus said. “No movement on her end at all.”“And Eric,” I asked, “is he confirmed completely out of it?”“Yes,” Marcus assured me. “Fully done, no lingering involvement.”Once the packing was finished, I felt a small flicker of excitement. “I’m actually excited for this trip.”Dominic smiled. “Family time, finally, exactly the way it should be.”Marcus wished us well before heading out. “Relax while you’re there. Call if anything comes up.”Once the door

Emma’s POVThe morning felt calm, and I woke up genuinely happy, finding Dominic already in the kitchen with coffee ready. “Big day,” he said. “We’ve got plans to make.”I joined him at the table. “The vacation, right? Let’s talk details.”Marcus entered a few minutes later, smiling in a way that immediately put me at ease. “The inheritance draft came through, and it looks good.”“Should we accept the terms?” I asked quickly.Marcus nodded. “Favorable, honestly. The twins are fully protected under it.”Dominic scanned the pages. “This looks solid. Should we sign now?”“Yes,” Marcus advised. “Just review it once more first, then sign.”“What about Victoria?” I asked. “Any reaction from her side?”“Silence,” Marcus replied. “Smart move, considering everything.”“Is Eric completely out of it now?” Dominic asked.“Fully,” Marcus confirmed. “He’s dropped out of the picture entirely.”We signed the papers together, and once it was finished, I let out a small cheer. “Another win, finally.”D
SURROGATE FOR THE COLD BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 115
Emma’s POVSunshine filled the room that morning, and I stretched slowly, already noticing that Dominic was fully dressed and moving with purpose.“The meeting is today,” he said. “The inheritance battle continues.”I sat up, still gathering myself. “Are we actually ready for this, or should we ask for more time?”He smiled, confident in a way that steadied me instantly. “Ready. We’re winning more ground every day now.”Marcus arrived early, carrying a thick stack of documents. “Morning. Let’s go over the key points before we head in.”“Is Raymond coming back strong?” I asked.Marcus shook his head. “Weakened, honestly. The custody win did real damage to his position.”Dominic poured us both something to drink. “Is Victoria still connected to any of this?”“Loosely,” Marcus replied. “But we’re watching that closely, just in case.”“What about Eric?” I asked. “Does he still play any role in this?”“Minor,” Marcus said. “The money trail involving him has gone cold.”We reviewed the docu
