The Billionaire Scientist’s Contract Surrogate

Sylar's POV“What could my mother possibly have offered you to turn on me, Thomas?” A dead calm voice cut through the private genetics laboratory.The voice belonged to me. I had just finished another ten hours clinical trial run when I was informed that Thomas had been caught.With short easy strides, I towered over Thomas who was held down on his knees by two of my men.Thomas's body shivered as he finally locked eyes with me. “Mr. Wayne. I swear, all I did was report basic information to your mother. Your whereabouts and some of your deals. That's all, I swear. I didn't know she would use it against you like this.” Thomas hurriedly tried to explain. “You didn't know?” My voice steady as I clenched my fist hard. “Yes! Yes! Mr. Wayne, I…..” My leg moved with a speed that cut through the air, stomping hard on Thomas's face.He groaned in pain and knelt even straighter. “Plea..se, Mr. Wayn… how.. how coould I refuuse your mother?” Thomas struggled to string his plea due to a few mi

Eden's POV I opened my eyes to see Mr. Wayne holding Candice's hand for a second. Their eyes locked in an unspoken conversation. Candice pulled her hand from his grip and walked away with an unreadable expression. “Let's go.” Mr. Wayne said coldly as he walked out. After a heartbeat, I followed him. My face was still stinging and my eyes refused to shed a tear. We climbed into the backseat of his luxurious car while James drove us to his private genetics laboratory.“Why me?” I turned to face Mr. Wayne. My eyes did nothing to hide my fury. “Why did you pick me to be your surrogate? Did you think I was an easy target for your wife to bully or a gold digger your money can control?” My voice was steady but my eyes burned even hotter. Mr. Wayne met my gaze with an unreadable expression. “My best friend was diagnosed with HEMA-7 at age fourteen. During that time, none of the pharmaceutical companies bothered to try to save him. The research was too expensive and HEMA-7 was a rare,

The first thing I remembered was promising Eden that no one would touch her.The second was watching her get dragged away.I stood up slowly, nursing my ringing head. “Master Wayne!” James called out. Taking one unsteady step after another, I made my way to James. “James, any injuries?” I asked. “Nothing serious, Sir. Glad to see you standing as well.” His voice was a bit laboured. Five black SUVs arrived within minutes. My security team had finally arrived. I struggled to quell my growing anger at their incompetence. “You two, get James out of the car and check him for injuries.” I ordered the two guards closest to me.“Sir, we need to get you to a hospital." Mike, my deputy head of security said. I shifted my gaze to him. “What we need to do is find John. How the hell did he know our movements?” My voice rose toward the end. “We don't know yet, Sir. By the time we realized, he was already gone.” Mike stiffened. I took a deep breath, fighting to clear my mind.I couldn't

Sylar's POV“Sylar?”I heard the fear in Eden's voice before I felt her hands against my chest.“I'm fine.” I said calmly. Behind us, John collapsed to the floor with a bullet lodged in his chest.I looked back briefly at James, who stood several feet away, his gun still raised.“Clear,” James shouted. His eyes darted sharply as he observed the surroundings. I shifted my gaze back to Eden.Her entire body trembled while her wrists were still bound tightly, and angry red marks covered her skin.I pulled out my knife and cut the ropes.“Did he hurt you?” I asked.“I'm fine.” She answered, almost in a whisper. “That wasn't what I asked.” I said as I reached for her arm.She flinched, causing my hand to hang in the air.Something inside me snapped.“What did he do to you?” My tone was stern.“Nothing.” She leaned slightly away from me.“Eden.” I pressed.“I said nothing.” Her voice was sharper this time.I stared at her, feeling something was amiss.Before I could press further, anothe

Sylar's POV"Isaac!" I roared. Eden's knees buckled before I could reach her but I caught her around the waist.Her body felt frighteningly light in my arms as I held her."I'm fine, Prince Sylar.” Her voice was weak."This isn't the time for sarcasm. You're bleeding." I said as I lifted her into my arms before she could protest."Put me down. I can walk." She retorted. "I don't care."Her hand instinctively curled around my shoulder as I carried her down the corridor as fast as I could."Isaac!" My voice echoed through the corridor..Dr. Isaac appeared from one of the adjoining rooms."What happened?" His gaze immediately dropped to Eden."Bleeding and some cramping." Eden answered before I could."Bring her in." Isaac nodded toward the nearest examination room.I carried her inside and placed her carefully on the bed."You can stop hovering now," Eden muttered.I ignored her as Isaac moved around the room gathering what he needed."Give us a moment, Sir." Isaac looked at me."No."
