Baron’s POV

‘Something seems fishy. Like the sneaky kinda way.’

The room suddenly goes silent when the door opens with both Valerie and Penelope not whispering anything. Instead, their eyes dig into me, not in a delightful way.

Maturing is realizing that ladies always gossip. The joy of seeing her alive and active takes over me in a split second. I bolt in, quite careless, and almost tumble down after kicking an object.

Arms wide and excited, she welcomes my big hug, admitting me to herself.

“Vee,” I pull her closer, murmuring like a child. At this moment, all my grudge against her melts away. “Oh, Vee…” I cup her small face and brush my thumbs against her cheeks. My eyes run along her, and I brush her facial hair off her sweaty face. “Thank god you're safe.”

I puff in deep relief. Her emotions swing from deep warmth to fun as she chuckles at my odd behavior. If only she knew that the CEO of Carters cried in public.

“I should meet the doctor…”

“No.” She grabs my hand before I ca

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    27: Not My Wife!

    Baron’s POV“Ma’am is missing.” Jax’s voice quivers as he breaks the terrifying news. I feel my life pause for a few seconds. Everything goes blank. “You should also try the prawn…” Pete, my friend from way back, rants as he digs into the finger food I’m treating him to. He had stopped by on my invitation. "Looks so much like your late lover." He hums, looking at Valerie’s portrait on my desk. "No wonder you settled for her."Something sharp tugs in my heart. Even the world sees i don't deserve her. I toss the thought away for the most important thing at the moment.“Excuse me,” I push my chair backward and walk over to the restroom for privacy. “Boss.” Jax’s tone is still trembling. He barely gets into a situation beyond his control. I try not to think of the severity. “I swear, I was watching…”“I don't care how you do it, Jax.” I stop him. “Find her before I find you.” I end the call and walk out. “Pete, I got into a bit of a situation. Kinda urgent.” I give him a cue.He doubt

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    26: One Desperate Wish!

    Valerie’s POV‘Dear God, save me from this trap and I promise not to be this stupid again…’ I'm trembling, but I try not to let it show. Heavy beads of sweat continue to break out of my pores. It feels like I'm going to die.Glynn is right behind me in his suddenly tiny office, with the door shut against us. “What the hell is this?” His voice is cold as hell. I can smell the irritation from miles away. My hands clutch in a modest prayer. One thing is certain, either of us dies and I can't say who at this point. “Uh…” I halt and try to alter my tone. “The office was dirty. I will clean it.” I limit my word usage. Can Jax just get the clue already?!“Who. Are. You?” His stern voice rings in the room.My word catches in my throat. I look down at the breast pocket and thankfully see the name on it. “Miss Alero,” I mumble, lips trembling.“Hmm… Why make a mess of my office?” “A roach.” I jump on a lie. “To kill it.”He hums again like he doubts every single word. Shockingly, he burst

  • 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

    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.
