Surrogate Mother To A Contract Wife Chapter 117
AIDEN'S POVWhat was Scarlett doing in the hospital? Why was she there all by herself and what the fuck is she hiding away from me? "Lucas, could you be more clear please?" I said over the phone. I needed to make sure that I wasn't the one hearing things and that something was actually wrong. At this point, everyone in the board room just started at me aimlessly. They must all have varying degrees of thoughts going on in their nerdy heads, but I didn't really care. The love of my life was most likely not okay and nothing comes before Scarlett... Nothing"Excuse me," I said as I made my way out of the peering eyes of the board room. I needed to sort out some things and even though my company was falling apart and I stood a high chance of losing everything I had ever worked for, Scarlett was still the ruler of my thoughts. "Could you please give her the phone

AIDEN'S POV"Take me to the damn hospital now!" I replayed that conversation in my head for a while, even as I gave an order to the Intelligence team and told them specifics on what to do in order to avert this situation going haywire. "I need you all to work hand in hand and track down that credit card before she has a chance to fly out or leave the damn country with the code that controls the entire company's intelligence..."As I mumbled out instructions, my eyes darted to the television and my senses instantly became at alert. "Can someone please turn up the volume of that screen behind" I asked, without my glance ever leaving the screen. "On it Sir," A guy with dark brown hair in the Intelligence team said. I took a quick glance at him and noticed he was shirtless. How on earth is he shirtless in a formal meeting? Wait... They were about three of them without shirts. Some wore shirts with shorts unde

SCARLETT'S POV I heard his voice.... and I knew that voice damn too well. It was a voice that I had heard in my sleep. A voice I dreamt about.. A voice that whispered in my ears whilst taking me to the heavens.. I knew that voice too damn well... It was AIDEN's. I suddenly heard some commotion outside the door, the nurse and I looked at each other and she said "Can you hold on Miss. Scarlett, let me see what the source of the noise is". I already knew what the source of the noise was, it wasn't news to me at all but I had so many unanswered questions and the one that topped the list of my questions was, How on earth did he know I was here? I just nodded in agreement to what she said and watched as she disappeared through the door to go check out what was going on. Whatever it was,

Scarlett's POV Mr. Matthew, the secretary seemed to wait up for me as he led the way. He knocked thrice before stepping aside and letting me in. Staring like a freak, I gaped at the magnificent interior. I had not an ounce of artistic skills but I knew a work of art when I saw one. A large mahogany desk with brown blinds hanging from behind. A beautifully white tiled floor that I could see my reflection in them. I stood in the middle, completely lost when a voice called out to me. “Are you done?” I looked forward to finding a dashing young man staring right at me with a blank look. I blushed vigorously as I made my way to him. Taking a closer look, he was breathtaking. His jet black hair styled so effortlessly my breathe seized. The tailored suit fitted to his large frame I could almost imagine what was underneath. He gave me a weird look and I realized I was staring again. "I'm sorry. Your office is so beautiful, I couldn’t help myself.” He simply nodded, offering me

Scarlett's POV "It's true," Dad said, not making eye contact as he sank deeper in his seat, shame looming over him. I was confused. "What's true, Dad?" I looked between him and my mother was stood as a pillar, taking his hand in her's, providing comfort. "I embezzled the company's fund." He hung his head in shame. "Why would you do that? You were doing so well." I couldn't believe the man who sat right in front of me. My father taught me right from wrong and he would never do such a thing. The man before me wasn't him "I wasn't. The CEO gave us pennies and I wanted you to have the best of things. You went to private schools and got into one of the best colleges out there. I couldn't let your dream shatter due to a little money." He tried defending himself but his voice wasn't convincing anyone. "How much are we talking about?" My brows met as I eyed him warily Dad kept his lips shut, unable to say anything. I looked over at my mom who took a moment before saying,"About a millio

Scarlett's POV "You can't be serious." My jaw dropped at the new contract laid out in front of me. "This wasn't what we discussed last time." He shrugged. "You shouldn't have disagreed with me." I eyed him warily, waiting for an explanation. He sighed, leaning in closer. "I just learned my family wouldn't accept a kid out of wedlock and I need one to get my inheritance. Something about proving how responsible I am." His voice was low, in a whisper. I snorted. He wasn't responsible and every tabloid out there would prove that. "Why are you whispering? We are in your office. It's not like anyone can hear us." He leaned back, giving off that powerful aura he always had. "The walls have ears." He stared me dead in the eyes, uttering his next words with a deadly threat in them. "No one can know about this, I don't care how close they are to you and I believe your parents wouldn't utter a word." I gave a fake laugh. "I'm not agreeing to this. This is insane." I pushed the contract a

Scarlett POV "My family is expecting us in a few days. We need to make a good first impression, especially on my grandmother." He gulped his wine in one sip. He was really nervous. Somehow that affected me. I was nervous now. What if they didn't like me? As if reading my mind, he answered. "They'd love you. You just need to watch out for my mother. She's a little.." He trailed off, searching for the right words. "Cruel with her words." I gulped, my shaky hands aiming for my glass. "This is going to be fun," I whispered under my breath but he caught it and responded with a smirk. We were trying to play it cool but we were both nervous. My future is on the line from just one family meeting. It should be easy. *** * "This is her?!" A loud, screeching voice aimed at me yelled. "She looked better in the pictures you sent." I threw a quick glance at Aiden. What was his mother talking about? How did they get a hold of my pictures? The man I assumed to be Aiden's dad turned to his

Scarlett POV "I need you to check in with my mother regularly. She refuses to let the family doctor near her." Her eyes fell closed and she took a deep breath. "She likes you. I'm sure she wouldn't mind." "I'm not so sure she'll let me. I just- She held my hands in a tight grip. "Just her blood pressure. She's starting to scare me, I need her alive." Her eyes were hopeful and this might just be my chance to get closer to all of them. If she was asking this from me, she was be helpless. "I'll do it." "She usually goes to sleep around this time. Her bedroom is by the left, you can miss it." I never expected to see her this way, pleading with a nobody. Somehow it made me happy, she seemed more human this way and as much as I tried to not get my hopes up, it did. I might just get her to like me. I knocked lightly before walking into Granny's room. She was wrapped in the warmth of layers of duvet. "Let me guess, Audrey asked you to check in on me." She shook her head, disap

SCARLETT'S POV"There is a problem, Miss. Scarlett" the doctor had said as I sat to face him in his office. The office reminded me of the Principal's office in my high school, everyone knew that been called into the Principal's office meant that you were either in very big trouble or you had done some amazing good and so, when anyone would walk into the class and say "You have been summoned/called into the Principal's office", your heart would do a thousand cartwheels and you'll be caught wondering and pondering over your actions in the last few days. Have I been bad? Did the Principal catch me at the frat party drinking? Was he at the club the other night when I was dancing with Robin in the twelfth grade? A million questions would run across your head in a minute and your heart would pound as though it wanted to burst out of your shirt. If you were being called in for outstanding conduct, you would feel so p

AIDEN'S POV"Before 2 weeks ago, Penelope Brendan didn't exist" Donald's words felt like a hammer was driven right through my chest and I couldn't even understand why. I had met Pen exactly two weeks ago and she had made me believe that we went to the same high school. I could literally swear that we actually did go to the same high school and I also remember being on the same class project with her, so how come I was just finding out that she didn't exist? "Donald, I need a little more clarification here. What exactly do you mean by Penelope not existing? " I asked, hoping to just hear something different, something I could hold on to, something that wouldn't really make me seem like a crazy guy or look like a weirdo in front of my entire staff. "She might have been going with another name, but after our multiple findings, we discovered that she actually goes by several names and we found pictures of her in different countries
Surrogate Mother To A Contract Wife Chapter 114
SCARLETT'S POVI proceeded to enter inside the office. It was almost like I carefully counted my steps as I entered inside the office. Something about the Doctor's office always made me anxious. It was probably just images of how I feared the syringe and I was afraid that the doctors were going to prick my skin with multiple injections just so I could feel better or maybe the traumatic experiences I have had with some doctors when they tried to get my blood samples or something. Overall, seeing the doctor made me terrified and so when the receptionist had announced my name, it just made me scared and quite terrified to be honest. "Miss.Scarlett, you can go in now" The chatty voice of the receptionist rang non stop in my head.It was almost very tempting for me to say "No Ma'am, please I'll come back some other time"I badly wanted to echo out those words but I couldn't, I was terrified because I feared for Aiden, I d

AIDEN'S POVFor a second, it seemed like time was suspended in air and my world was spiralling right before my very eyes. The intelligence team looked as confused as ever and as I entered, everyone was fussing around, doing something and nothing. Everywhere seemed to have been thrown into a state of pandemonium and in that moment, it seemed as though my world was revolutionizing right before my very eyes and there was almost nothing I could do about it. "Ahem!" I called out to get their attention. Sadly, it didn't work. Alison looked at me with some sort of pitiful eyes, it irked me so badly. The last thing I ever want is for someone to pity me in any way. "Can I get your attention people?!"Still no response. It was almost like my voice was drowned by the waves of commotion that had taken over the Intelligence room. I became lost, lost in the sense that I didn't really know what to do and it made my stomach churn uncomfortably, if there was one thing that I didn't like, it was

SCARLETT'S POVI knew that someone had to pinch me out of this trance because I couldn't believe my eyes and I surely didn't want to believe that Charlie Fox was the person I was seeing on TV. ‘Charlie Fox, Really?’ I mumbled in my head.The scary part was that the crowd seemed to be cheering on for him and it was live on television! You're only streamed on live television if you were someone of real importance and you had something extraordinary to contribute to the well being of the society. What on earth did this man have to contribute to the society? I needed to be dreaming and hence, I knew that someone had to seriously snap me out of this terrible trance. As I struggled to recover from the image my eyes had just seen on TV, I watched as the camera panned from Charlie Fox on TV and was more focused on some other important personality that seemed to have arrived at the scene. It panned all the way to a car and a whole hoard of journalists, reporters and what not and it seeme

AIDEN'S POV5...4...3...2...I was counting down inwardly to when the mob would finally be close enough and request to see those in the car. Of course, the whole plan was engineered by Charlie Fox himself. He had the whole plan doctored and controlled and we were being used like pawns in a game of chess.Who did this guy think he was? How do I get rid of him? The crowd was drawing closer and I knew they were going to be very very close any minute or moment from now and I mentally prepared. I looked at my driver from the rear view mirror as if to silently communicate to him and he nodded in response, our eyes had met each other and we both responded and communicated with each other faster than eyes ever could. As if on cue, the crowd soon gathered around the car demanding a statement from New York's richest and most eligible Bachelor, there were however in for a rude shock. "We demand a statement.... We demand a statement," they shouted and demanded in union whilst holding down
