The Billionaire's Secret Surrogate CHAPTER 51
AVAThe day I married Colton Sinclair, no one was bleeding.No one was running.No one was lying.There were no contracts hidden beneath flowers, no security threats disguised as guests, no cameras waiting to turn love into evidence.Just Liliane’s garden dressed in white roses, soft gold light spilling over the greenhouse glass, and the people who had become mine.David stood beside me at the entrance to the aisle, his arm looped through mine with exaggerated seriousness.“You okay?” he whispered.I looked down at my gown, at the lace brushing my wrists, at the skirt that made me feel like someone from a dream I used to be too tired to imagine.“I think so.”“You look scared.”“I’m not.”He narrowed his eyes.I smiled. “I’m overwhelmed.”“Oh.” He nodded like that was acceptable. “That makes sense.”Ahead of us, Molly stood near the arch in pale champagne silk, already crying and pretending she wasn’t. Agnes sat in the front row with a handkerchief clutched in both hands, tears shinin
The Billionaire's Secret Surrogate CHAPTER 50
AVAThe room stayed full for a long time.Full of whispering.Full of crying.Full of people trying not to touch Liam too much and failing because he made it impossible. Every time his tiny mouth puckered or his fist opened against my chest, someone made a sound like their heart had been squeezed.Molly was the worst.“I’m not crying,” she announced, while actively crying.David looked at her like she had lost her mind. “You are.”“I said I’m not.”“You’re dripping on your shirt.”“That is joy condensation.”Colton, sitting at the edge of my bed because the nurse had finally bullied him into it, gave the smallest laugh. It was tired and broken around the edges, but it was real.I looked at him over Liam’s dark head.He looked wrecked.Not the polished, dangerous, untouchable Colton Sinclair the world had feared. Not the man in courtrooms or black suits or bleeding fury.This man had blood on his shirt from where Liam had been placed against him. His hair was a mess from running his ha

AVAFor one stupid, frozen second after my water broke, neither of us moved.Colton stared at me.I stared back at him.Then another warm rush soaked the sheets beneath me, and reality hit both of us at the same time.“Oh my God,” I whispered.Colton was already reaching for his phone. “Hale. Car. Now. Call Dr. Maren and tell the hospital we’re coming in.”His voice was calm.His hand was shaking.That scared me more than the wet sheets, more than the tightening ache spreading low through my stomach.“He’s early,” I said again, because saying it once had not made it less true.Colton ended the call and came back to me, moving too fast for his body. Pain flashed across his face, but he swallowed it down like he could command his spine through sheer arrogance.“Look at me,” he said.I did.“He is early,” Colton said, kneeling beside the bed with one hand braced on the mattress. “He is not lost. There is a difference.”My breath broke.“I’m scared.”“I know.” His palm covered my belly. “
The Billionaire's Secret Surrogate CHAPTER 48
COLTONI came back to myself in pieces.First, Ava’s voice.Then the sterile bite of hospital air.Then pain.It was not the familiar pain anymore. This was deeper, meaner, a white-hot wire dragged through my spine until my breath fractured around it.Ava sat beside my bed with both hands around mine, her face pale, eyes swollen from crying she had tried to hide.“You’re awake,” she whispered.I tried to move.Nothing answered.For one brutal second, there was no room, no monitor, no doctor waiting near the door. There was only my body beneath me, silent where it should have obeyed.Ava saw the fear before I could bury it.“Colton.”“My legs,” I rasped.The doctor stepped closer. “Mr. Sinclair, the scans show severe inflammation around the injured area. There is no evidence of complete spinal severing.”“That isn’t an answer.”“No,” he said carefully. “It’s a beginning.”I closed my eyes.Ava’s fingers tightened. “Then we begin.”She said it like there was no other option.Like I had
The Billionaire's Secret Surrogate CHAPTER 47
AVAThe blackout did not feel like darkness.It felt like a hand closing over my throat.One second Molly’s fingers were locked around my wrist, her body angled in front of mine like she could shield me from an entire room full of monsters. The next, something slammed between us. Her grip tore away. A body hit mine from behind, hard enough to steal the breath from my lungs, and a familiar voice rasped against my ear.“Not one sound, Ava.”Nathan.My blood went cold.I tried to scream anyway.His hand clamped over my mouth, his other arm banded above my stomach as he dragged me backward through the chaos. Glass shattered. Women screamed. Men shouted orders that dissolved beneath the pounding rush of panic.A gunshot cracked somewhere behind us.I bucked against him, twisting, clawing at his sleeve, trying to plant my heels into the floor.“No,” I bit against his palm.He hissed when my teeth caught skin.“Still fighting?” he whispered. “Good. I missed that.”Revulsion rolled through me
The Billionaire's Secret Surrogate CHAPTER 46
COLTONAgnes left us with Liliane’s blanket, and for three days, that small square of blue cloth became the softest wound in the house.Ava kept it in the nursery, folded over the arm of the rocking chair, where moonlight touched the white flowers stitched along the edge. More than once, I found her there with her hand over her stomach, whispering to the baby like he already understood grief, love, and the strange inheritance waiting for him.I wanted to cancel the gala every hour.I did not.Wright wanted a stage.So I built him one.The Liliane Sinclair Foundation gala had always been one of the city’s most polished lies—champagne, diamonds, clean money pretending it had never touched anything ugly. This year, the ballroom glittered harder than ever. Crystal chandeliers burned above a sea of black tuxedos and silk gowns. Cameras flashed behind velvet ropes. Donors smiled for photographers. Politicians murmured over champagne flutes while federal agents in borrowed uniforms watched e

COLTON The sun was already sinking lower when I walked out of that prison. The world outside was loud—cars honking, people bustling—but inside me, there was only one thing.War.Vivienne thought she had me cornered. Nathan and his father thought I’d break under pressure. But they had no idea who t

COLTON The morning sun slanted low through the windshield, streaking the dashboard in pale gold. I drove on autopilot, the hum of the engine beneath me doing nothing to quiet the storm in my head.Her message still burned on my phone where it lay in the console, every word etched into me like a bl

AVA My phone slipped from my hand onto the bed with a dull thud, but the headline burned into my mind like it was carved there. Engaged. Colton Sinclair was engaged.My chest rose and fell in quick, shallow breaths as I pushed to my feet, pacing across the room. It felt like the walls were pressin

COLTON Her words lodged in my chest like a splinter I couldn’t dig out. Inevitable.I didn’t flinch, though every muscle in my body begged me to react. Instead, I leaned back in the leather booth, forcing a calmness I didn’t feel, my hand curling loosely around the edge of the table. My glass rema
