Valerie’s POV

Divorce papers in hand, I’m ten seconds away from ending this sham of a marriage. After which, I will run far away with my baby and never look back.

After the lawyer informed me of the drafted papers, I went straight to her office first thing to pick up the documents.

The car comes to a halt in front of the golden duplex. The front porch is surprisingly sprinkled with sweet smelling roses. A bunch of the flaky petals decorate the floor, lining down the fine marbled floor of the living room, while lit dinner candles line side by side, forming a romantic pathway.

There’s a letter with a peach seal.

For a moment, I hesitate, not ready for any drama. Picking it up, I read the small note: Follow my rosy heart, darling.

My jaws clench, eyes burn with tears. If this had happened a week ago, just maybe I would have believed he was genuine.

I clutch tightly to the envelope and follow the trail. Soft music filters in the background. The delicious scent of yummy dishes makes

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    139: Shredded Evidence

    Veronica's POV I wasn't expecting the whole drama I had put up to die out so quickly just because Baron had walked out and requested that Valerie pardon the maids since they have been out workers for the longest time now. He had encouraged Valerie to cut out a few pennies from their salaries but not to have them fired.I felt insulted and humiliated and I could bet that Mia was glad to see that my plans didn't work out as planned.“You pulled this stupid trick, didn't you, Veronica? Walking into my matrimonial bedroom and causing havoc only to blame it on the domestic staff especially Mia because you still feel threatened by her presence?”. Baron's voice tore through my train of thoughts leaving me startled and stunned.“Baron? What are you doing here and what did you just say to me?.”“You heard what I said, Veronica. I know what you are. I know you were the one who walked into my room and ruined everything while blaming it on those innocent domestic workers. What were you looking

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    138: DNA Test

    A week later Veronica's POV All my efforts have been futile. Was it that Baron didn't find me attractive if he was just too stubborn for my liking? Wasn't I putting in enough effort?I hung my hands on my shoulders staring at myself in utter dismay.I am a beautiful woman no doubt but seeing how Baron treated me like trash angered my spirit. I had to teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget. Something he would live to remember.I threw my hair back in frustration, pacing around the room. “Am I not beautiful enough? Am I not sexy enough?” I hissed, clutching my robe tighter. “No man has ever resisted me, but Baron treats me like dirt.”The more I thought about it, the more my blood boiled in rage. I stormed out of my room and stopped a maid who was arranging flowers in the hallway.“Where is Baron and Valerie?” I asked sharply. I had fallen asleep and hadn't figured out when they had stepped out of the house.The maid hesitated. “Uhm… Sir Baron and Ma’am Valerie went to an eatery downt

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    137: Gender Reveal

    Baron's POV “Welcome home, Sir… Ma'am.” Clara greeted us as soon as we entered the house.“Thank you, Clara.” Valerie replied, a cute smile plastered on her face.I looked at her and couldn't help but smile So this is the person that Veronica wants me to cheat and divorce?A woman with a kind and caring heart. The mother of my unborn child. My supportive backbone. I'd rather die than divorce or cheat on Valerie “Welcome home, sweet little sister.” Veronica's voice resounded gleefully as she descended the stairs.Gosh!!Must show be everywhere?Not long ago she was in my office and now she's at home instead of going to hangout with one of her friends? Terrific!Valerie’s face lit up as she rushed forward to hug her sister. “Veronica! I was hoping you would escort me to the hospital for the gender check of my baby but unfortunately you were not at home” she said warmly, while my jaw clenched in silence. “Umm….” Veronica started off, not knowing what to say.“Uh.. I went to see a fri

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    136: Seductress

    Veronica's POV “You need to understand that I am not just the mother of your child, but the most attractive person you can find on planet earth.” I uttered, slamming the door to Baron's office shut while walking deeper into his office.“What is wrong with you, Veronica? What are you doing in my office?”.Veronica but her lower lip.“What else does it look like I came here to do? .”“Get the hell out of my office before I call the security men to throw you out!”. Baron threatened, rising to his feet.A smirk pulled upon my lips as I accessed him seductively.“Don't act dumb, Baron. You know what I am talking about. I am your son's mother and as such, one of the most beautiful and gracefully endowed women. I want you, Baron. Right here in the office because at home is not an option and neither is lodging a hotel because of the press.”“You want me to have sex with you? My wife's sister?.”“Yes, Baron. That is exactly what I want. Now it's clocking isn't it?.” I whispered, my eyes locke

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    135: Clumsy Valerie

    Veronica's POV I almost chuckled out loud at Baron's lame excuses for the argument we had last night. I nearly choked on my water hearing how crazy he was lying to his own wife just to cover up his mistakes.Hallucination!? !!I bit my tongue to stop myself from a full outburst of laughter.Did he really think Valerie would buy such weak excuses? Hallucination?I might have convinced Valerie but that was in the past now.Was this all Baron could say? Was that the best he could come up with? I sipped my water slowly, hiding my smirk, while my mind screamed at how desperate Baron sounded.“But it didn't seem like a noise my mind made me picture. It sounded real. Like it was ongoing under this roof but there's a high chance possibility that my mind made up all those. Veronica also said the same thing to me as well ‘maybe it's your mind playing tricks on you.’” Valerie yapped and all Baron could do was stare at Valerie's lips like his life depended on how much he stared at it.Baron r

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    134: A Sore Night

    Veronica's POV “I heard a lot of noises yesterday. I couldn't place it in my dreams.” Valerie uttered , pouring herself a cup of coffee.I forced a small smile keeping my eyes on her hands as she now proceeded to pour some coffee into my own cup.“Maybe you were just too tiredValerie. Sometimes when we’re exhausted after a long day, our mind plays tricks on us and we might end up having dreams or hearing things.”Valerie looked up at me, her brows furrowed. “Not at all, Veronica, I am being serious. I heard voices. It sounded like arguments between two to three people. I can vouch that I heard a woman's voice.”My heart skipped, but I quickly hid it. “Argumemt? Between woman and someone? Maybe it was from outside but then our house is very big and our neighborhood is quiet. Maybe you were just hallucinating and hearing things.” I said lightly, praying she wouldn’t dig further.“That's impossible. I knew what I heard but I guess you are right. My mind was probably playing tricks on me
