My men will take you back to your apartment,” Viktor said. “Think about what we discussed tonight. Make good choices, Mia. Your future depends on it.”

The hands on her arms were firm but not painful. They lifted her from the chair and guided her toward the exit. Her legs moved mechanically, one foot in front of the other, her mind still reeling from everything Viktor had said.

They were almost to the door when Mia saw it.

A hallway branching off to the left. The lighting was dimmer there. But at the end of that hallway, there was a room with large glass windows.

And inside were girls.

Mia’s feet stopped moving. She stared.

There were at least a dozen of them. All young. Some looked even younger than Mia. They sat on simple cots arranged in rows. Some were reading. Some were talking quietly to each other. And several of them were visibly pregnant, their bellies round and swollen under loose cotton dresses.

They all had the same look in their eyes when they

  • The Billionaire’s Surrogate Twins    The Injection

    Victoria was in her bedroom when the call came.Unknown number. She almost didn’t answer. But something made her pick up.“Mrs. Cross?” A female voice. Professional. “This is San Francisco General Hospital. I’m calling about Mia Chen.”Victoria’s heart stopped. “What about her?”“She’s awake. She regained consciousness about an hour ago. Since you’re listed as her emergency contact, we wanted to inform you immediately.”Awake. Mia was awake.After two months of silence. Two months of lying in that hospital bed. Two months of Victoria hoping she’d never open her eyes again.“I’ll be there soon,” Victoria said. She ended the call.Her hands were shaking. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Mia was supposed to stay in that coma. Or die quietly. Or simply never wake up.But she was awake now. Which meant she could talk. Could remember. Could tell people what she knew.Victoria pulled out her phone and dialed her father.He answered on the first ri

  • The Billionaire’s Surrogate Twins    Awakening

    Mia’s eyes opened to whiteness.White ceiling. White walls. White lights that hurt to look at.Everything felt strange. Distant like she was underwater and someone was calling her name from the surface but she couldn’t quite reach them.She tried to move. Her body wouldn’t cooperate. Everything ached. Deep, bone-level pain that radiated from places she couldn’t identify.Where was she?What happened?The last thing she remembered was driving. A black car. The highway. Another car coming straight at her.The crash.Oh God. The crash.Mia’s hand moved instinctively to her stomach. To check for injuries. To make sure she was okay.But her hand didn’t land on her flat stomach. It landed on something round. Swollen. Hard.Her eyes flew down.Her belly. It was huge. Impossibly huge.Panic flooded through her. What was wrong with her? Why was her stomach like this? Had she been injured in the crash? Was something growing inside her that s

  • The Billionaire’s Surrogate Twins    Two Months Later

    Damien had been living in the hospital for sixty-three days.He’d stopped counting after the first month, but Jake kept track. Jake kept track of everything now. The days. The medical bills. The lies they told Victoria about where Damien was.The hospital room had become familiar. Too familiar. Damien knew every crack in the ceiling. Every stain on the floor. Every sound the machines made when they were working properly and when something was wrong.He knew the nurses by name. Knew which doctors were competent and which ones he needed to watch carefully. Knew the cafeteria schedule and which vending machines were restocked on which days.He’d become a fixture. The man in room 347. The one who never left. The one who sat beside the unconscious pregnant woman and waited.Just waited.Mia hadn’t woken up since the accident. Sixty-three days of lying in that bed with machines breathing for her. Monitoring her. Keeping her alive.

    Victoria stood at the window of her father’s office, her phone pressed to her ear.“We haven’t been able to locate Mia for some time now,” Victoria said. Her voice was tight.But underneath was panic. “Ever since she found those files in Dr. Reid’s office, she’s been gone. No apartment. No phone signal. Nothing.”“I know where she is,” Viktor said. His voice was calm. Too calm.Victoria turned from the window. “What? Where?”“San Jose. Meeting with Lauren Pierce. One of the previous surrogates.”Victoria’s stomach dropped. “How long has she been talking to Lauren?”“My people just confirmed it an hour ago. She’s at Lauren’s house right now. Getting information. She's trying to build a case against us.”“We need to stop her,” Victoria said. “We need to bring her back. If she goes to authorities with whatever Lauren tells her, everything falls apart.”“I’m aware,” Viktor said.“So what do we do?” Victoria asked. “Do we grab her? Bring her in? Lock her up until the babies are born?”“N

  • The Billionaire’s Surrogate Twins    The Vigil

    They walked through sterile hallways. Past other rooms full of patients fighting their own battles. Past nurses and doctors moving with purpose.Finally, they reached a room at the end of the hall.The doctor opened the door.And there she was.Mia.Lying in a hospital bed. Eyes closed. Tubes and wires everywhere. A ventilator breathing for her. Monitors beeping steadily.Her face was bruised. Swollen. Bandages covered the left side of her head where they’d stitched up the gash.But she was breathing. Her chest rising and falling. Her heart beating. Alive.Damien moved to her bedside and took her hand.It was cold. Limp. But real.“Mia,” he whispered. “I’m here. I’m right here.”She didn’t respond. Didn’t move. Just lay there in the hospital bed with machines doing the work her body couldn’t.The doctor spoke from behind him. “I’ll give you some time. A nurse will check in every thirty minutes. If there’s any change in her condition, p

  • The Billionaire’s Surrogate Twins    The Hospital

    The emergency room doors burst open at 4:47 PM.Paramedics rushed through pushing a gurney. A young woman. Unconscious. Blood matting her dark hair. Her clothes were torn and stained. An oxygen mask over her face.“Female, mid-twenties, approximately three months pregnant with twins,” one paramedic called out to the trauma team already assembling. “MVA on Highway 101. Multiple vehicle collision. The patient was unconscious at the scene. GCS of eight. Vitals unstable. BP dropping. Fetal heartbeats are present but irregular.”The trauma team moved like a machine. Nurses cutting away clothing. Doctors barking orders. IV lines going in. Monitors being connected.“Get an ultrasound in here now,” the lead doctor commanded. “I need to know the status of those pregnancies immediately.”“Ultrasound’s coming,” a nurse confirmed.“Any ID on the patient?” another doctor asked.“No purse. No wallet. The phone was destroyed in the crash. We have nothing.”The woman on the gurney didn’t move. Didn’t
