Valerie's POV.

I glanced at the wall clock. 5:32 PM.

Shit! Almost time.

I walked into the kitchen, greeted by the savoury smell of steaming creamy chicken and broccoli.

“Is the cake ready yet or still in the oven?”. I asked Veronica, taking away the lid of the pot.

“In the next three minutes, the pan will be taken out of the oven.” Veronica replied, her gaze fixed on me.

I nodded, inspecting the dish.

"This smells amazing, doesn't it, Vee? I am sure Mr. Sammy will love it."

Veronica smiled, her eyes sparkling with confidence. "Of course he will love it, Val. We've worked hard on this meal."

I smiled back, feeling a sense of pride. "Let's get the table set and make sure everything is perfect. Baron will be home soon, and Mr. Sammy will be arriving at 6:30"

Veronica nodded, and we both got to work, moving swiftly to prepare for the evening's dinner. She took out the creamy chocolate cake from the oven, laying it on the kitchen work surface.

The atmosphere in the kitchen was lively

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    143: Caught In The Act

    Veronica POV What did I hear? Was that the voice of Valerie? My heart skipped a beat. My palm is slick with sweat.Why was she back now? This wasn't the plan. I had expected her to come back later in the evening. I wasn't done with Baron yet and my plan wasn't for her to see Baron in his drunken state.“Fucking bitch.” I cursed, pushing Baron back so he would lay on the bed with his face against the ceiling.I leaned closer to Baron, my body hovering slightly away from him. I kissed his forehead, sliding his eyes close as slowly as I could while whispering softly into his ears.“Let me go, Veronica. Get off me.” Baron ordered as he staggered and rose to his feet, his gaze darkened with fury.I wrapped my arms around his neck, my eyes locked onto his as he struggled to unwrap my arm around him, his chest rising and falling against mine.Isn't this what you have ever wanted, Veronica? To make Valerie jealous and fed up with Baron so she would leave him for you? This is your chance to

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    142: I Despise You, Veronica

    Veronica's POV I walked back and added more vile to the remaining wine left in the bottle. This was going to be fun because I knew he was definitely going to ask for more since the substance I added into the wine had the tendency of making it sweeter than usual.I had to be prepared in case he called the workers to get it for him or he came out to get it himself.I tiptoed back and hid behind a pillar watching him empty the glass with a sign of astonishment on his face. He stared at his empty glass, rose up and went to his winery room and poured himself another glass.Instead of heading back to his study room he decided to head back to his room and I knew just the reason for that.The wine was beginning to take effect on him and as it had a tendency of making some sleep, Baron wanted to be in the right place and time the moment it happened.He took a large gulp from his wine as he sat on the bed. He smiled at the remaining content and he quickly downed it before placing the glass on

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    141: A Shot Or Two

    Veronica's POV “Another shot.”I ordered half drunk. The bartender looked at me with bewilderedment.“Are you sure you can handle another shot, ma'am? You looked like you had your fill. This should probably be your limit.” The lady advised, studying me carefully.I leaned closer to her, my eyes squinted slightly.“Are you here to serve me my shots whenever I need them or are you here to lecture me on what to do? Do you want me to call your manager?.” I threatened, my voice laced with hatred and discomfort at her nosiness.“I am so sorry ma'am. I was only concerned.” She apologized and poured out another shot of tequila and handed it to me.A smirk surfaced in my face.“Save your concern for yourself. I don't need it!”. I bellowed, catching the attention of people in the bar.I could feel I was getting a bit tipsy. As a person with strong alcohol tolerance, I could feel myself slowly losing the grip of my own reality and drowning in the make-believe of alcohol.I quickly downed the en

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    140: A A

    Veronica's POV I was getting more impulsive. More agitated. Just when I had the evidence that Prescott was indeed Baron's son and all of a sudden it was gone. Shredded into pieces.I stood and watched as the evening breeze carried the pieces into the air, a reminder that I was far from achieving my goals.I stood by the edge of the balcony, feeling the warmth of the evening sun on my face as my mind wrestled with its own thoughts.No doubt I had to acknowledge how calm and coordinated Baron looked even after realizing that I was holding a DNA proof that shows the relationship he had with Prescott. On a normal day, he was supposed to feel pressured. Act bothered and asked me to get rid of the DNA test while he negotiated with me on a way to move forward.His calm demeanor was odd for someone in a situation like his. A situation that threatens the stability of his life and marriage.“You have to come up with a nicer plan, Veronica. Something worth the shot. You need to up your game.” I

  • 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
