Baron's POV

‘Abort plan… My wife's in a critical state.’ I type on my keyboard and stare at the letters for a long time.

Then I send it to Pete and palm my face.

I'm not sure why the meeting is urgent but there's no way that I'm leaving Valerie's side without a trusted person around. Jax is taking care of Veronica.

My phone beeps again.

‘Man, I'm sorry,’ I read it in a ‘I'm not so sorry tone. ‘But get your ass down here as quick as you can. You'll be doing her real good!’

I read the text all over again and sigh.

Pete is either too dramatic or this is between life and death.

My eyes fall back on Valerie. She's still in the same state. Unconscious. But her vitals have improved greatly. She looks pale in her sleep.

‘Terminate, I can't…’

I start to type, but pause. On second thought, I wipe it off and dial Penelope. Next to Jax, I prefer her around my wife. Not even her suddenly ‘alive sister. And Penelope is that one friend who'd kill for her friend.

“It’s quite late, Baron.” H

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    146: Forgive Me

    Valerie's POVForgive me.Baron played the audio proof to me and the words Veronica said fired an imaginary bullet into my chest.“I don't care about Valerie. For all I know, she can go to hell if she wants to. She isn't my concern. She thinks I love her, she can crawl back to the abyss.”Hearing her voice shattered me into pieces. My own sister, the one I trusted and loved, wished me pain without mercy. My hands trembled as I held my stomach tighter and then I felt my baby move as if it was trying to remind me to stay strong. Tears blurred my sight as I cascaded uncontrollably. My anger burned deep inside. How could my blood betray her blood? How could she hate me so much after all that I had done for her.Baron looked at me with pleading eyes, but I couldn’t even look at him. My world had crashed.“How could she? How could I still harbour all this for me? I was nothing but a good sister. A loving friend who was there for her. Who assists her whenever she needs me. I was there for

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    145: An Audio Proof

    Valerie's POV I sat in front of the mirror, my eyes staring as a tear slipped through my eyes rolling down my cheeks as the realization of everything dawned on me.I had trusted Baron too much to see that I was hurting while he befriended my sister. I was a fool no doubt.I touched my stomach gently, whispering to my unborn child, “I’m sorry you have to feel this pain with me. I thought your father loved me. Loved us enough to protect us but I was wrong. He decides to love my sister instead. I am heartbroken, sweetie.” My reflection in the mirror looked weak. I was broken and lost. The woman I saw was not Valerie who once believed in love. The one who smiled when Baron professed his love to her. I was now someone betrayed by the two people she trusted most. My husband and my so-called sister. My heart ached, but my mind was firm. I had to protect myself and my baby and I was getting divorced, taking back Amy company and getting the hell out of this country to start things over. Ju

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    144: Divorce

    Valerie's POV “You disgrace me. I trust my husband not knowing he still has feelings for his old lover, how iconic of your Mr Baron Smith.” “Babe, please. I didn't do this intentionally. I didn't do this. I just had a few drops of wine and it got so tipsy which is unlike me. Then I didn't know what was happening to me. Veronica shows up and begins to touch me inappropriately knowing that I am weak. Believe me.” Baron pleaded, his voice shaking with sobs.“Don’t you dare pin the blame on me. You are such a weakling and can't control yourself, Baron. Why would I want to have an affair with my sister's husband? We might have had an affair a few years back but a lot has changed. I don't have feelings for you, Baron. Admit that your drunkenness made you act stupid and stop blaming me.”Baron wiped his tears, his voice breaking. “Valerie, please, believe me. I love you and only you. Veronica is twisting this. I swear I pushed her away. I tried to resist her but she knew I was weak and ke

  • 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

    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
