It has become a routine for both Damon and Scarlett, that neither of them openly acknowledge but they both followed strictly.

Every single day for the past few days, Damon never stayed in the office past four o’clock. Julian was baffled but had to stop questioning the sudden clearing of his afternoon schedules. Damon didn’t care what anyone else thought. The moment the clock struck three-thirty, his focus dissolves completely.

He just wanted to get home. More specifically, he wanted to get his

    SCARLETT"You still haven't told me where we're going," I said, raising an eyebrow over the rim of my champagne flute.Damon leaned across the small aisle, his eyes sparkling with a rare, boyish mischievousness that made my pulse jump. "If I told you, Sunshine, it wouldn't be a surprise.""You're terrible at keeping secrets," I teased, reaching out to gently tug on his black tie. "Well... actually, you used to be very good at it. I prefer you like this."Damon caught my hand, raising my knuckles to his lips and pressing a slow, burning kiss against my skin. "I'm never keeping a secret from you again," he murmured, his voice dropping into a low, rumbling timbre that sent a familiar shiver straight down my spine. "Today is just about us. Cameron is with his nanny for the weekend, and for the next forty-eight hours, you belong entirely to me.""Is that so, Mr. Hilton?" I whispered, leaning in closer until my breath brushed against his cheek."It is," he rasped, his eyes darkening as his

    The place was still under construction and smelt like paint. I took one look around and was satisfied with what I was seeing. I had just come out to check the progress of my art gallery and surely, it might be ready before the opening. I stood in the center of the main hall, a clipboard tucked under my arm, carefully inspecting the warm track lighting overhead.It had been three long months.Returning to Damon’s house on my terms hadn't been easy, but Damon had kept every single one of his promises. He surrendered the surrogacy contract, signed over sole custody of Cameron, and gave me the space I so desperately needed to heal. He had just been discharged last week from the hospital, which gave me time to come check my property. Watching him rebuild himself into a devoted father this past week—seeing the genuine, quiet remorse in everything he did—made the walls around my heart slowly begin to crack.Forgiveness hadn't come overnight. It was a choice I made every day, not just for him

  • Surrogate Wife For The Mysterious Billionaire    CHAPTER 93

    SCARLETTThe heavy wooden door of room 412 clicked shut, locking out the noise of the city streets.I leaned my back against the thin panel, sliding down until my knees hit the faded carpet. The room smelled faintly of bleach and cheap lavender air freshener—a far cry from the sprawling marble halls of the Hilton estate, but right now, it was a sanctuary.In my arms, Cameron let out a restless whimper. His small hands clutched at the lapel of my jacket, his round brown eyes blinking up at me with confusion, like he could feel the violent tremors running through my body."Shh, baby. It's okay. Mommy's got you," I whispered, my voice breaking on a ragged sob.I pulled him close, burying my face into his soft dark curls. The scent of sweet baby lotion mixed with the rain on his clothes. I squeezed my eyes shut, letting the tears flow freely—hot, heavy, and uninterrupted.He is mine.The words echoed through the quiet hotel room, no longer a terrifying revelation, but an undeniable truth

    SCARLETT"What do you mean he is my son?"The words fell out of my mouth in a quiet, trembling breath. I stood rooted to the cold hospital floor, my fingers digging into the edge of the doorway so tightly my knuckles turned pure white.Damon lay propped up against the pillows, his face ghastly pale, white bandages wrapped tightly around his temples and chest. His dark eyes, usually so sharp and impenetrable, were brimming with raw, unvarnished terror. Tears overflowed his lashes, cutting clear, wet tracks down his bruised, stubble-covered cheekbones.He had just told me the silliest and most unimaginable thing I had ever heard. "Scarlett..." he rasped out, his voice sounded like a ruined, scratchy whisper beneath the plastic oxygen mask hanging down around his neck. He reached up with a trembling hand, trying blindly to touch my sleeve, but he didn't have the strength to bridge the small gap between us. "Please... come closer."I couldn't move. My knees felt like liquid. "Damon... do

    SCARLETTThe rhythmic beep... beep... beep... of the ICU monitor had become the soundtrack to my torment.I don't know when I drifted off, but when I woke up, the pale light of morning was spilling through the window blinds, casting thin lines of gold across the white hospital bed. My neck was stiff, my cheek resting uncomfortably against the edge of the mattress. My hand was still locked around Damon’s, my fingers stiff from refusing to let go all night.I stretched slightly, rubbing the back of my hand against my eyes, staring at his pale, still face."Damon..." I whispered to the empty room, my voice raspy. "Please. It’s a new day. Just open your eyes."Nothing. Just the artificial hum of the oxygen machine. I sighed, leaning back into the vinyl chair. The guilt was a heavy, physical anvil sitting on my chest. If I hadn't packed my bags... if I hadn't left that signed divorce petition on that day... he would be at home right now, drinking his dark coffee or probably in his office s

    SCARLETTThe drive back to the estate felt like a funeral procession.Tom didn’t speak a word from the front seat, his hands gripped tight on the steering wheel, his eyes darting to me occasionally in the rearview mirror. I couldn't bring myself to look at him or out the window. Every single mile took me further away from the ICU, further away from the man whose blood had soaked into the very threads of my clothes.When the heavy iron gates of the mansion slowly parted, the sight of the grand house didn't bring me any comfort. It loomed ahead under the twilight sky—dark, sprawling, and hollow. A place I was somewhat excited to be the first time I came here, but tonight, it just felt like a monument to everything that was falling apart.The car rolled to a stop in the front circular driveway. I opened the door before Tom could step out to get it for me, my legs numb as my feet hit the cold gravel.Inside the house, Grace was standing near the foot of the marble staircase. Her sharp eye

    SCARLETT’S POVI woke up to a sound I hadn’t heard in a long, long time.A baby’s cry.At first, I thought I was dreaming. I stayed still on the bird, confused. But then it came again, louder this time. Okay… really loud.“This is definitely real”. I couldn’t help but say out loud.I sat up, my hea

    In a dimly lit room half a city away, a woman stood with her back to the window, her phone still in hand. The glow from the screen shows the sharp edge of her jaw, her lip painted red. The screen showed a familiar number, the one that had sent the message to Scarlett. Her fingers hovered over the s

    Scarlett’s voice still echoed in my head "Damian... what the hell is going on?"I couldn’t answer her. Not honestly. Not yet.Instead, I took the phone from her hand and slipped it into my coat pocket. “We’re leaving,” I said flatly.She blinked. “What do you mean, we’re leaving? What about your gr

    “Rose. I was drunk and I would have never done something like that to my best friend. You disgust me to the point that I'm still irritated.You also know that you caused what made Damian to fall out of love with you, he's married to a very beautiful and respectful woman.Someone you can never be.”
