Baron’s POV

30 Minutes Earlier

“Mr. Mark Thompson, member of the Russian mafia. He’s into sex trafficking and the likes.” Jax reads off Mark’s biography to me. “He’s alleged to have duped the royal house of millions of dollars.”

Bad business.

“Enough.” I sigh and wriggle my necktie. I don't have to jinx my day reading such corrupt details of one man. “Put me on a call with the CEO of Salvanas. I need to make a purchase.”

I stroll out of the mansion. My brand-new SUV is parked outside, warmed up, and ready for the day.

“Get out.” I groan.

The driver grabs his stuff to leave, too sluggish for my patience. I grab his lanky arm and pull him out, then fit my tall frame in the driver’s seat. Jax comes running. He says his last word to the person on the other end and ends the call with a simple tap of the sensor of his earbud.

“Done.” He mumbles his report.

I zoom out, leg on the accelerator as I fire the car. I can see Jax's surprise on his face. I've never been this full-blown crazy.

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    25: Wrong Turn

    Valerie’s POVThe alarm clock wakes me up from bed. A side of my head is banging and the nonstop ringing makes the ache grow stronger. I roll lazily and sigh, wishing the clock would just shut up. Oddly, it goes silent, leaving the room to stand still. I didn't turn it off… My eyes fly open to see that Baron isn't in bed. The purpose of the alarm; First Antenatal Visit, flashes boldly in my mind. If Baron had turned off the alarm, he might have lingered long enough to see what's tagged to the reminder. I spiral in bed, jerking for the alarm. “Whoa.” He groans as I snatch my phone off his grip and recoil back in bed. He pauses, taking a good stare at me. I don't have to look at my phone screen to know I look horrible. With spiky hair and swollen face, I always wake up like I went through the world’s worst hurricane. “Do me a favor and respect my privacy.” I bluff.He chuckles, still unable to make it make sense. “You were sleeping… I thought we were cool.” He blurts out. “Doesn'

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    24: A Rare Side Of A Gem

    Baron’s POVI’m choking. The sound of voices bangs in my head like demons taking flight. It’s worse that the air is filled with thick smoke that makes me cough nonstop. My house is burning!I jerk up from my sleep, sweaty, terrified. My heartbeat is racing through the roof. The thick white smoke-like cloud in the air slaps me hard with reality. It’s not a dream after all. The noises from downstairs get louder. Valerie. Like a lunatic, I toss the sheets aside and sprint for the door. I run down the echoing hallway, my footsteps pounding after me. Down the grand stairs, I stop midway. The whole place suddenly goes silent on my arrival. Their eyes meet mine and they duck immediately. They form a circle; the head chef, butler, other staff… Valerie is in the middle with a frozen smile, celebrating her fresh pan of black bread oddly-shaped burnt beyond recognition. How perfect! To think I almost died in my sleep and while running down here just to see my wife joyful over some black m

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    23: Mr. $ Mrs. Baron

    Baron’s POV“I have it boss,” Jax whispered into the speaker of his phone. “Everything you need to ruin him.” I’m in my white silky robe, standing on the balcony. My eyes shifted from the night sky to my fully-lit compound, watching the guards wander from about in the silent compound. Jax is spotted beside a car, with his hand pressing to his earpod as he tries to be discreet.“Upward.” My silent command makes Jax look in my direction, our eyes meeting from a distance. “Yes, boss.”He ends the call and slips the phone in his pocket as he maintains his smooth movement down to the main stairs. I hold the banister, breathing in the cool air while trying to brush off the anger I still feel from the argument with Valerie. What sane mother would put her child in harm’s way for some evidence? ‘Let it go.’ I inhale deeply again. The air has a scent of vanilla and coconut in a perfect mix only peculiar to Valerie. She was here. The air still scent like her. Jax’s footsteps pull me out o

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    22: Hear Me Out

    Baron’s POVValerie’s lips on mine is soft, heavenly... It drives me wild in some sort of way like I'm just meeting her.Valerie latches tighter, carelessly throwing her arms around my neck and deepening the kiss. Her breath is warm on my face, lips melt onto mine, leaving a burst of flavours; strawberry and vanilla from the popcorn. She tastes heavenly.I can't tell when my arms wrap around her, sealing us firmly. My lips devour hers, nibbling on her soft skin and enjoying every inch of her. Jeez, so good. I sigh and moan in her mouth. Dirty, her lips part, inviting me in for tongue lashes and rough kisses. I don't hesitate, don't pull away. Slipping my tongue in, the sleek and greedy organ sweeps every terrain, drinking her potion, and leaving her breathless. She breaks the rough kiss, hands palm my face, forehead leans on mine. Her lips are red and bruised from the soft nibbling. Oddly, she laughs, heating my face with her hot breath. Heavens, she is so pretty. Perfect even.

    Baron’s POVOne last blow and Glynn goes silent… Maybe dead, I don't care. I collapse on the ground, still in shock. Valerie is pregnant?! Five whole weeks pregnant?!My head is set ablaze with confusing thoughts. I'm not sure how I feel, but it doesn't feel good. I pull toward and crawl, still dumbstruck. The only thing that runs through my head is; my wife and my baby…Struggling to get to my feet, I stagger towards the door. It opens before I can reach for the knob and is standing wide-eyed. “Ma’am Valerie is at home. Safe too.” He stutters. I scoff and lean on the wall, broken. He has no idea what’s going on with me. All I can see on his face is the worry that he just raised a false alarm. “The butler called. I didn't mean to…”I push him off and walk out, taking slow steps. When I get into the car, he knows best to leave me alone as he gets in the front seat and I have the back to myself. ‘Valerie is pregnant?’ I choke on a laugh. At this point, I feel like a lunatic. Nothin

    Baron’s POV“Ma’am Valerie is missing.” Jax’s words send me flying off my seat. I'm still in the boardroom, fixing up a few projects with the hope of showing her how much I’ve improved her project, only to be hit by this ridiculous news.“What do you mean?” I almost shove him off my path as I hurry down to the elevator. My office is empty. No her. Just her bag. It even raises more alarm. “Where did she go?” “I'm trying to find out…”“Oh, Jax.” Anger is slipping out of my surface. My hands are trembling as I dial her number. Her phone is switched off.Fuck. Her phone has never been switched off. Every subtle thing hints at her being in danger. I race to her bag and dump her items on the table. No phone.Jax moves past me to the control desktop. I walk down and crouch behind him to see every damn thing. He rewinds the footage to when she was leaving the company. She walks so straight like a dummy. It's so scary. He hops to the exit footage and it shows her pushing past the paparazz
