Baron’s POV

Midnight.

A phone call jerks me up from sleep.

My hand is swift to grab the phone and turn off the volume before it wakes Valerie from sleep. My sleepy eyes snap open to see that the caller is Pete.

It's unusual.

“Check the news, Baron.” He groans when I eventually answer the call. “You’d want to do that now.”

Pete isn't one to sound serious, seeing this side of him makes me quite worried. The call drops, leaving me with my slight worry.

Already, I have tons of emails piling up by the second. I ignore them and head straight to find the latest news. There it is.

‘BARON CARTER IN AN ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH HIS WIFE’S BESTIE, MISS PENELOPE SINCLAIR, WHILE HIS WIFE IS REDUCED TO A MERE SECRETARY.’

My heart sinks deep at the sight of the headline boldly pasted on the screen.

Below is a photo of me and Penelope hugging and being too cordial.

Heavy sweat breaks out on my skin and runs down my body, almost drenching the neckline of my pajama shirt.

“What the heck?” My fingers

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    52: Veronica Smith Is Alive?!

    Valerie’s POVThe replica of my late sister is before me. From the looks to the polished accent and perfect mannerism. Only that this one has a child.I forget how to breathe. My eyes bulge out and my chest tightens from lack of air. My breathing slowly gets labored. ‘My sister is alive?!’‘Is resurrection even a thing?!’ I saw them lay her coffin six feet beneath! “Valie?” She snaps me out of my frozen state. “Is this what you say after years of your darling sister being missing?” Her nose scrunches up in slight provocation.“You’re dead.” I stutter with my lips quivering. “You-you died.” I can hear my heart pounding hard in my chest. “No sugar-pee.” She calls me by my nickname. “It's a long story.” She waves it off with a small shrug as she normally would. “Enough of that, let's talk about you, birthday girl. You're big and preggy too!” She flashes her charming smile.Everything to let you know that she is the right one before me. “When I saw the news of my little pie being p

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    51: Gut-wrenching Surprise

    Valerie’s POV“We’re under attack!”The security man besides the driver alarms the others in the second car behind us while the driver tries to make a swift U-turn. The lane is not so busy which means so many things can go wrong. “God, please…” Thick sweat streams down my pores. My hands are shaky. I dial Baron. Each second that counts feels like hell.I crouch down, hands over my head.No bullets yet but I can't tell for how long.“Pick the fucking phone!” I'm panting. They tires hit something hard, like a rock, and it jerks to a forced stop.Fuck! My body goes rigid. My lips quiver and all I can imagine is dying. ‘What about my baby?’ I break down in tears. ‘I promised Baron forever, this wasn't my birthday wish.’ The driver and my security man steps out. I hear loud argument and then silence.That kind of silence that you know they're either dead or subdued. Either way, you're cooked.Just that second, Baron answers his goddamn phone.“Love?”Instead of speaking, I break int

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    50: Big Birthday

    Valerie’s POV“Happy birthday, love.” Baron’s cool baritone wakes me up.My eyes blink open to see Baron’s face covered in cake and sprinkles. His lashes bat nonstop, small mouth forms a small hilarious ‘O’ as he sings.“Oh, god.” I heave a soft sigh, a hand to my chest. I don't plan on starting my big day with so much drama. “You said you only wanted me.” He licks his lip as he crawls onto the bed, approaching me like an edible alien.I chuckle. “Babe.” “Yeah?” He slips right through my open legs, body grazes mine. “You can have all of me.” He presses down and kisses my bare knee. Soft. Tender.“Chocolate. Red velvet.” He elaborates on the cake plastered on his face like he dipped his face in it. “Vanilla… Taste better. Creamy.” “Ba…” He steals my lips in a warm kiss, crashing his frame into my small one. His messy face rubs against mine. Dressing me in his cake costume. “Oh, god.” I try to ward him off but he cradles me beneath him.Possessive.I lay under him, giggling. Ha

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    49: Carter's Big Announcement

    Baron’s POV‘DR. GLYNN WATERS ESCAPED PRISON SEVENTY-TWO HOURS AGO.’What. The. Heck?!My heartbeat spikes, beating hard in my chest as if it will explode. The news is still shocking. Maybe fake. “How?” I mumble under my breath and go through the legitimate news sources. It's a whole seventy-two hours. How! How did i miss that?! I rely so much on Jax to inform me about trends like this, but there's so much one man can handle. I can't blame him. At this point, Valerie and Penelope’s voices fade into a whisper. My eyes run through many media handles that still bear the same news. Dr. Glynn is truly out! Three days ago was approximately the time Valerie and I were attacked. Exactly the time Agent Tyson was killed. “Babe?” Valerie calls out a bit too loudly, commanding my attention. “Are you okay? You keep mumbling to yourself. When our eyes meet, she asks.“Yeah.” I start typing to Pete. “Come over here, she wants to serve us.” She beckons. “Thanks, love.” I seriously type on

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    48: Make-up And Shock

    Valerie’s POV“The lab results are out.” I mumble, quite anxious. The thought of Dr. Pam waiting downstairs gets me quite agitated. All of me wants Penny to be free of the alleged charges, but with Pam saying it's urgent, I’m scared.“Maybe,” Baron whispers, his lips still close to mine. “We can meet her in ten minutes…” “What?” I pull back, my eyes watch Baron’s desperate ones. “It's urgent.” “Fine. Five.” He groans and cradles my naked body beneath him, teasing and grazing his bulge on my wet thighs. I chuckle, aware that he’s dying of blue balls. “Babe,” I palm his slender face and stroke his high cheekbones. “How about we go downstairs, finish up, then come upstairs and take all day?” He still looks sad. “But…”“Don't be naughty, Baron.” I kiss his lips and shut him up. It's hard getting his big frame off me. He eventually rolls over, but not without swearing and throwing punches in the air.“Jax needs a day off.” He laments. “Dr. Pam could have called me if she wanted to. J

    Baron’s POVI walk to the bedroom, holding Valerie’s mug of hot coffee. When the door kicks open, I pause… Not prepared for the site before me.Soft.Delicious.Perfect.Valerie’s lips twitch in a small knowing smile, fingers roll on the belt of her silk night robe. The robe is open, wide enough that it pushes to the side of her breasts, leaving her nudity in prideful display. She’s hot. Way hotter than I remember. Her breasts are fuller, skin white like chalk beneath the basking sunlight, nipples are a shade of dark pink, perked up mischievously.My throat bulge, thick balls of saliva about to choke me. I gulp, eyes feasting on her body.Down her breasts, her small baby bump is just another spicy view. Somehow, it turns me on. Gives this dirty image of Valerie that I never saw. Body banging like a goddess.‘I want to fucking run my hands along that body.’ I groan, murmuring as I stare. The mug slightly tilts, spilling drops of hot liquid on my bare skin. I sigh and stand uprigh
