LOGIN“A desperate woman. A trapped billionaire. A crime empire that will kill to keep them silent. When Mia agrees to become a surrogate, she doesn’t realize she’s walking into a cage built by people who destroy anyone who tries to escape. But Damien Cross has his own agenda, and saving her might cost him everything.” To save her brother’s life Mia, a debt-ridden nursing student agrees to a five million dollar surrogacy contract for a powerful, emotionally unavailable and nonchalant billionaire together with his supposedly infertile wife.

This was never a normal surrogacy. She found out that Victoria isn't infertile at all, she realizes she's walked into something far more dangerous than a simple contract.

Her life, her brother's future, the twins she's growing to love, and a chance at something she never expected: a real family with a man who she shouldn’t want. Can their forbidden love survive the shocking truth, or will the secrets they keep cost them everything Some contracts are signed in ink. Others are written in blood
View MoreJake sat in his car outside a small house in Oakland.The address came from Dr. Reid’s files. Another surrogate. Another woman who’d carried a baby for Viktor’s operation.Sarah Martinez. The first name on the list. Twenty-six years old now. She’d been the surrogate six years ago.Jake had called her yesterday. Explained who he was. What he was investigating. Asked if she would talk to him.She’d been silent for a long time. Then she’d said yes.Now Jake was here. Recorder in his bag. Questions prepared. Ready to hear another horror story.He got out of the car and walked to the front door. The house was small but well-maintained. Flowers in the window boxes. Fresh paint.He knocked.The door opened immediately. A young woman stood there. Petite. Dark hair pulled back. Tired eyes that had seen too much.“Sarah?” Jake asked.“Yes. Come in.”Jake stepped inside. The house was neat. Clean. But sparse. Like someone living carefully within a tight budget.Sarah led him to the living room.
Jake’s safe house had three occupants now.Dr. Reid was in the back bedroom. Barely speaking. Barely eating. Just sitting in silence with the weight of his confession.Kevin had video called from Canada yesterday. He was doing well. Margaret was taking good care of him. He asked about Mia constantly.And now Jake was expecting a fourth visitor.Patricia Moss.Jake had contacted her two days ago. Told her they were building a case against Viktor. Told her they needed her testimony. Asked if she would help.She’d said yes immediately.Now she was driving from Sacramento. Should arrive within the hour.Jake checked his watch. 2:47 PM. He went to the kitchen and made coffee. Strong. The way he’d been drinking it for weeks now.Damien was at the mansion. Playing his role. Pretending everything was normal. Victoria was watching him like a hawk but so far she hadn’t caught on.Mia was seven and a half months pregnant now. Getting bigger every day. The twins were active. Healthy. Strong.In t
Dr. Marcus Reid’s office was dark when Damien arrived.It was past eight PM. The medical building was closed. But Damien had a key. He’d gotten it months ago when he’d started suspecting Dr. Reid’s involvement in Viktor’s operation.He took the elevator to the third floor and walked down the empty hallway. His footsteps echoed against the tile.Dr. Reid’s door was unlocked. Damien pushed it open.The office was a mess. Papers scattered across the desk. Empty whiskey bottles in the trash. The smell of alcohol hung heavy in the air.Dr. Reid sat behind his desk in the dark. He didn’t look up when Damien entered.“I’ve been expecting you,” Dr. Reid said. His voice was slurred. Drunk.“Have you?” Damien asked. He closed the door behind him and locked it.“Viktor called me today,” Dr. Reid said. He finally looked up. His eyes were bloodshot. His face was pale and drawn. “Told me you’ve been asking questions. Told me you’re gathering evidence. Told me to be ready.”“Ready for what?” Damien
Jake drove to Mia’s apartment at dawn.The building looked the same as he remembered. Run-down. Cramped. The kind of place people lived when they had no other choice.He parked down the street and watched for twenty minutes. Looking for surveillance. For anyone who seemed out of place. For any sign that Viktor’s people were watching.Nothing. The street was quiet. Just early morning joggers and people walking dogs.Jake got out and walked to the building. Used the key Mia had given him last night. Climbed the stairs to the third floor.Her apartment door was exactly as she’d described. Third door on the left. Number 3B.He unlocked it and stepped inside.The apartment was small. One bedroom. Tiny kitchen. Living room that doubled as someone’s sleeping space. Probably Kevin’s before he got sick.Everything was covered in a thin layer of dust. Nobody had been here in months.Jake moved quickly. He didn’t know how much time he had before someone noticed him.The bathroom was at the end o
The photographs scattered across Victoria's desk like accusations. Medical records, bank transfers, names of women Damien had never heard of. And in the center of it all, that video camera with its magnetic tape confession.Mia was still holding the photograph of Kevin, her hands trembling so badly
The van was dark, windowless, the kind of vehicle that didn't draw attention. Kevin sat in the back with his hands zip-tied to a metal ring bolted to the floor. His heart monitor was still attached to his chest, the device beeping steadily despite his racing pulse. They'd kept him connected to it,
Two days passed in the safe house.Two days of waiting. Planning. Watching the news for any sign that Viktor had found them.Nothing.Mia spent most of her time with Kevin. They talked about everything and nothing. About their childhood. About their mother. About the fu
Jake drove for twenty minutes before pulling into an empty parking lot behind an abandoned warehouse. The area was industrial. Deserted.He turned off the engine and twisted in his seat to face them.“Alright,” Jake said. “Talk.”Mia took a breath. Then she told them everything.
