Baron’s POV

I go through Veronica’s details with Jax and walk out of the study, leaving him behind to tie up the loose ends.

After giving Valerie her gifts, I had slipped off her side and got into the study with Jax, for a private conversation. Now, I head back to the bedroom, guessing Valerie is back in there.

The door opens, showing off our bedroom with a dim red light. Soft music plays in the background, giving a cool seductive atmosphere.

But it's empty.

Valerie isn't in sight.

I suppress a small smile that crosses my face as I walk into our transformed bedroom and shut the door with a soft click.

Soft sweet-smelling petals are sprinkled along a path that crawls down to our king-sized bed. Feeling special, I follow the path and stop. Our bed is well decorated with red and white roses forming a big heart in the center of the bed.

“Hmm,” I pick up the bouquet and sniff.

    Baron's POV"Thank you Doctor." I appreciated it and shook hands with the doctor. He nodded at me and walked away, disappearing into a ward by the left.I sighed, heading towards the exit of the hospital. I was grateful that Valerie was okay to an extent. My worries had been reduced and right now, I was headed home.The night air hit my face as I stepped outside. I took a deep breath, a temporary relief to the heaviness in my chest. I headed for my car which was parked in the hospital’s parking lot. I slid in behind the wheels, gripping the steering tightly. I was glad Valerie was stable, but something still troubled me.What I couldn't understand was why things were happening or the way they were happening. Why was I facing all? Why couldn't Veronica move on and leave Valerie and I alone?The phone call from Jax earlier kept replaying in my head like a broken record. Missing funds was now the trend in my company. The trending photo of Veronica and I that was all over the intern

  • The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride    167: Worried Sick

    Baron's POV “How is she a doctor? Is she in labor?”. I stood up from the lounge right outside the ward immediately the doctor came outside. I was worried that something might have happened to Valerie but I wasn't really scared since I knew the doctors here were professional and she was also being treated in the VIP ward.“No, Mr Baron. Your wife isn't in labor. All she's having is a little complication caused by sitting down for a long time consecutively.”Relief washed over me at the doctor’s words. My heart beat slowed at his words and I let out a breath that I didn’t realize I was holding. “What a relief to hear this, Doctor. I am always so worried. I thought my wife had entered labor. So tell me, doc… is she and the baby okay?” I asked quickly, needing the reassurance of his words.The doctor gave a small nod. “I can't really say that they are both fine. Your wife just needs her to get some rest and avoid staying in one position for too long. She needs to be around those that l

My belly hurts. My baby bump.”Baron’s eyes widened instantly, panic flashing across his face. He reached for me, his hands trembling as he held my shoulders. His gaze locked onto mine with full reassurance.“Valerie, talk to me. How bad is it? Homies the pain? Explain it to me. Should I call the doctor right now? Are you in labor?” he asked in a rushed tone.Tears pricked from my eyes as I rubbed my bump gently. . “It feels sharp, Baron, although it keeps coming and going. I don't know if it's signs of labor but I doubt if it is because my water hasn't broken yet.”I whispered, my voice shaking.Without wasting another second, Baron helped me get out of the bed, his arm around my waist as he guided me to the door. “We’re not taking chances, babe.” he muttered firmly. “I’m taking you to the hospi

    Valerie's POVI raced downstairs almost bumping into Baron who was just about to open the door. My eyes widened in excitement as I got lost in his embrace, wrapping my arms tightly around him. For a moment, I inhaled his scent, expecting him to hold me the way he always did.But he didn't. Something about his aura felt off. His arms were stiff, his body tense and he didn't hug me back. His breath was tense and that was when I pulled back to look at him.Then I looked and I could see it clearly. His face was hard, like had just wrestled with someone. His eyes were dark and looked troubled. Slowly my smile faded. “Baron,” I whispered softly, brushing his cheek. “Are you good? What happened? Why do you look so unhappy?”Baron’s chest rose and fell quickly. He looked up at me with his eyes clouded with tears and before I could even say another word, he burst into sobs.
