All Chapters of SURROGATE FOR THE COLD BILLIONAIRE: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Emma’s POVMorning came far too fast, the kind of fast that left no room to feel ready for anything.I checked myself in the mirror one last time, smoothing my dress with hands that wouldn’t quite stay steady, and Dominic came up behind me, resting his hands on my shoulders. “You look ready,” he said.I met his eyes in the reflection. “Ready as I can be, I suppose. Grace still worries me more than I want to admit.”He turned me around gently, forcing me to face him instead of the mirror. “We practiced everything last night. You know exactly what to say.”Downstairs, Marcus was already waiting with coffee in hand and his phone tucked under one arm. “Car’s here. Stay calm once we’re inside, no matter what gets said.”I took a quick sip, hoping the caffeine might settle my nerves. “What happens if the judge actually believes her version of things?”Marcus shook his head firmly. “Our counter is strong. Truth tends to beat spin, especially when the spin doesn’t hold up under pressure.”Dom

Emma’s POVThe days passed slowly, each one dragging under the weight of waiting for news that never seemed to come.I kept checking my phone that morning, hoping for some kind of update, but there was nothing new to find. Dominic was already in the kitchen making breakfast when I wandered in. “Marcus is coming soon,” he said.I sat down at the table. “I hope the ruling comes today. I don’t think I can handle much more waiting.”Marcus arrived shortly after, files tucked under his arm and ready to go. “The judge scheduled a call for this afternoon.”“Do you think it’s good news?” I asked quickly.He offered a small smile. “It’s leaning our way. The fraud argument was always weak.”Dominic poured himself coffee. “What about Victoria? Is she still pushing for custody?”Marcus shook his head. “Quiet, for now. That interview did more damage to her than she probably realized.”“And Grace?” I asked. “Any follow-up from her side?”“Nothing,” Marcus replied. “Her credibility is gone. The cros

Emma’s POVSunshine filled the room that morning, and I stretched slowly, already noticing that Dominic was fully dressed and moving with purpose.“The meeting is today,” he said. “The inheritance battle continues.”I sat up, still gathering myself. “Are we actually ready for this, or should we ask for more time?”He smiled, confident in a way that steadied me instantly. “Ready. We’re winning more ground every day now.”Marcus arrived early, carrying a thick stack of documents. “Morning. Let’s go over the key points before we head in.”“Is Raymond coming back strong?” I asked.Marcus shook his head. “Weakened, honestly. The custody win did real damage to his position.”Dominic poured us both something to drink. “Is Victoria still connected to any of this?”“Loosely,” Marcus replied. “But we’re watching that closely, just in case.”“What about Eric?” I asked. “Does he still play any role in this?”“Minor,” Marcus said. “The money trail involving him has gone cold.”We reviewed the docu

Emma’s POVThe suitcases sat open on the bed, and I packed light, folding beach clothes while Dominic worked beside me. “We just need enough for the twins, nothing extra,” he said.I kept folding small shirts. “Do we have swim gear that’s actually safe for them?”Marcus stopped by briefly before we left. “Travel is cleared, and security is fully set for the trip.”“Any update on the inheritance?” I asked quickly.“Filed, smoothly,” Marcus replied.Dominic zipped up one of the bags. “What about Victoria? Anything to report?”“Quiet,” Marcus said. “No movement on her end at all.”“And Eric,” I asked, “is he confirmed completely out of it?”“Yes,” Marcus assured me. “Fully done, no lingering involvement.”Once the packing was finished, I felt a small flicker of excitement. “I’m actually excited for this trip.”Dominic smiled. “Family time, finally, exactly the way it should be.”Marcus wished us well before heading out. “Relax while you’re there. Call if anything comes up.”Once the door

Emma’s POVThe beach days had started to blend together in the best possible way, and I woke slowly that morning to find Dominic already outside with the twins. “Morning,” he called. “Breakfast is ready whenever you are.”I joined them at the table, reaching for something light. “Fresh fruit sounds perfect right now.”Marcus called shortly after for a quick check-in. “Just confirming everything’s smooth back home.”“Any threats we should worry about?” I asked quickly.“Nothing,” Marcus replied. “Clean across the board, and Victoria remains completely silent.”Dominic took the phone for a moment. “Is the inheritance fully locked in now?”“Completely,” Marcus confirmed. “The trusts are all set and finalized.”“And Eric,” I asked, “still confirmed out of the picture?”“Out,” Marcus said. “No contact from him at all.”The call ended quickly, and I turned back to Dominic. “Let’s just relax a little more today.”“Agreed,” he said. “Back to the beach it is.”The sand felt warm beneath us as
