Semua Bab The Hot Billionaire's Surrogate Bride : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Baron’s POV30 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.

Valerie’s POV‘Mr. and Mrs. Baron Carter allegedly stormed the Ceazers club yesterday at, 9 PM, and brutally assaulted an old patron, leaving him severely incapacitated.’I go dumbstruck when the news channel switched to something else, with our photos boldly pasted on the large screen. At first, the pitch is going smooth with me casting my plans on the screen. But when they start murmuring and a member of my team came to me, I mistakenly clicked the photos and casted it for all to see. Damn!‘The poor fellow is battling for his life and on life support in the clinic which won't be disclosed for security reasons…’ A staff member turns off the TV, causing the murmuring of the board officials to be audible. We’re in another meeting, one of the tenth for today, and my day just has to start like this. Splendid. I look at the faces of the potential investors and they have a light frown. This is not good. ‘Do something!’ My instinct kicks in. ‘You can't wreck something and not fix it!’

Author’s POV“Code red!” A nurse screams as they pull out Valerie’s stretcher from the hospital’s ambulance. Numerous tubes run in and out of her body. She’s on a drip and blood set, as well as an oxygen mask. They hastily roll her wheel along the hallway, navigating through the small crowd. Penelope tries to keep up with their pace, she holds the side of the rail since Valerie’s body has a cold blanket above it. On getting into the Emergency Room, a few health workers get in, with others running in to save her. The door shuts, leaving Penelope to roam in confusion. “Will she be okay?” She holds one of the nurse’s wrist, demanding so much attention. The nurse spins to face her, and she still looks drained. “Ma’am, be assured that we will do our best to save her.” She calmly assures Penelope. “Dr. Glynn!” She sticks her finger up to excuse herself as she chases after their senior doctor. Too agitated, Penelope paces about the hallway. She suddenly feels cold, her body is tremblin

Valerie’s POVI spit on Dr. Glynn like he’s a piece of shit, watching with an oddly satisfying delight as my thick bubbly saliva weave on his face like cobwebs.“You’ll rot in hell.” I groan, breathing hard and staging him in a glare contest, daring him to do his worst.His eyes easily shift from cool to rage. The smile on his jaw freezes up. He looks so vile as if he would grab my neck and knock me to death. He takes out a napkin from his pocket and slowly wipes his face clean, leaving patches of my messy reaction. “You shouldn't have, Valerie.” His voice is calm but dangerous. That kind of poison that takes over your system before killing you. “Just a puncture and you're out. For someone whose life is in my hands, you're bold.”I chuckle, irritating him further. “I dare you and you won't live one lasting second to tell the news.” “Hmm,” he smirks. “Such confidence.” He looks at the door. “You think he loves you that much, huh?” He mocks me. “Wait till he’s done with you and the co

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
