Surrogate Mother To A Contract Wife Chapter 129
AIDEN'S POV "Don't talk to me like I'm a child, " Scarlett said. It took me aback and paused me in my tracks. I had a blend of mixed emotions in that moment and I think what I felt the most was pride. I was beyond proud of Scarlett for standing up for herself, but I took a good look at Pen and I just knew that Scarlett might have bitten a little more than she can chew. "What did you just say? " Pen asked while advancing towards Scarlett. I sensed a lot of drama unfolding. Should I stop it? Maybe I should. But am I going to stop it? I don't think so. I'm going to grab my imaginary popcorn and just watch the whole thing unfold. "I said you should stop talking to me like a child, " Scarlett said, even more defensively. She stood her ground and refused to back down to pressure. She was being resilient and I saw a boldness in her eyes that I

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

AIDEN’S POVThe surrounding noise dulled into a muted roar, overpowered by the heavy thuds of my heartbeat and the sudden hum of electricity in the air.Even in heels, Scarlett stood a full 6 inches shorter than me. And I could see the downward sweep of her lashes as her gaze honed in on where my fingers encircled her wrist. It was so delicate I could have snapped it without trying. Her pulse quickened, tempting me to prolong my hold before I came to my senses and dropped her hand like it was a hot coal.“A kiss?” Her voice echoed, cutting me off little random thoughts I was having a couple of seconds ago, as she stared back at me. “That was never part of the agreement, how many rules to go to make this less worth it?” She said breathlessly. My other hand finds her waist, wrapping my arms around her back to pull her close.“Don't make this harder than it already looks!” I whispered into her face through gritted teeth. Sensing that my mother had been standing by the door watching.

SCARLETT’S POVI’d collapsed into bed three hours ago, my body exhausted but my mind racing like I’d injected it with a dozen shots of espresso.But surprisingly the door being swung open snapped out of my reverie, startled to find Aiden by the door as our eyes met. Without a word, he walked over to the bed and then grabbed a pillow as he went straight for the couch.I suddenly realized I’d been staring at him longer than I should, barely blinking like an idiot. Clearing my throat, I tore my eyes away from him.I slowly hated how it was that every time I closed my eyes, images from when he’d kissed me a couple of hours ago played on a broken loop in my head.His hands around my wrist, the graze of his fingers along my spine. The low rumble of his voice in my ears caused that one tingle beneath my skin.I groaned and turned on my side, hoping the change in position would shake the persistent memory of Aiden’s touch and rough velvet voice.But then, the more I tried the worse it was slo

SCARLETT'S POVI watched in utter dismay as the events unfolded in my very eyes. I had felt tremendously nervous to break the news and to top it off, I had to do the revelation in front of all the peering eyes. My nervous radar shot up terribly and I didn't know if I was happy that it wasn't Aiden and I alone, or I was nervous that it was in front of all these people.The whole thing just made me confused and nervous at the same time, I honestly didn't know what to do or how to feel and yet I watched the conversation that ensued amongst them. The back-and-forth that happened between Penelope, Aiden, Odessa, and Charlie Fox was one that I watched with mixed emotions. What truly became of me after they agreed? Did I have anything to win in this situation? I was going to be at the losing end no matter what happened and it just made me wonder what exactly would become of me. However, the e

AIDEN’S POVIt almost felt like I didn’t hear what Scarlett had said for a moment, and for that, I felt lost and utterly alone. I questioned myself on how on earth I had gotten it all wrong.Did I do something I shouldn’t have?Why did she feel the need to lie to me for so long?And why on earth did it feel like everyone else knew except for me?“Scarlett, what did you say?” I proceeded to ask very slowly. “I said I am pregnant,” she repeated.“When did you find out?” I asked in the smallest of voices, I needed to know for how long I had been in the dark. It at least made sense to know for how long I have been in the dark and for how long she has been lying to me.“Aiden, do we have to have this conversation right now?” Scarlett asked with her eyes glistening with tears, she looked like she was about to cry and I didn’t know if I cared as much.I needed the truth and I needed to know how long

SCARLETT'S POV"What on earth is happening here?," I said, as I looked on in shock to find the weapons formed and fashioned against me staring back at me. Four different pairs of eyes widened to look at me and I felt extremely uneasy. When Lucas had tried to warn me, I didn't really pay much mind and I had dismissed him. My mind flashed back to how the conversation had gone.It was a silent ride and after I had broken the ice, Lucas made me understand that he was only doing everything he was doing to protect me and we had come to quite the conclusion. I couldn't eat my cake and have it, I understood that and my so, my heart clutched tightly and deeply inside my chest, threatening to strangle me. I felt like I was imprisoned by my very own thoughts and for a while, I thought that I was in control. We had arrived the house and Lucas had immediately raised an alarm that something was amiss. "Something is wrong Ma'

AIDEN'S POVI could tolerate anything, but definitely not anyone toying with Scarlett. That, I could NEVER tolerate, not even in my dreams. "Don't you dare talk about messing with Scarlett like that anymore," I said with a very warning tone glaring at her. She needed to know that I don't mess around with Scarlett and there was no way in hell I was letting her get close to Scarlett. "You love to dare me Aiden, and I love to see it, you're not the one in control here. Just in case no one has told you yet,” She said with a warning tone. "Don't dare me Pen, don't even try it " She needed to know that I don't mess up, and I'm not playing games. "Let's head back to the mansion," I informed Donald. "Have you called Lucas yet?" I needed to know the update about Scarlett and if she was still in the hospital. "Yes Boss, I got off the phone with him a few minutes ago, he said it appears that Miss. Scarlett is

SCARLETT'S POV“Why on earth was the witch calling me?” I grumbled staring at the screen of my phone. Contemplating whether or not to have the damn call picked."Hello Odessa," I mustered the nicest voice I could to answer that call. "Oh, you think I called you to exchange pleasantries? " Her snarky voice came through. To be fair, I genuinely disliked her voice and it had nothing to do with her being Odessa, it had everything to do with the voice. Odesssa spoke in a manner that irritated the senses, the way she spoke nasally and made her words come out of her nose, it was the craziest thing for me and it always made me feel like punching the little air she had in her. "What do you want from me?" "I want you to do all that I have asked. Is that too much to ask?""It's complicated now... There's a lot more at stake and I can't even make a rash decision anymore. "For some reason began to laugh, a bellowin

AIDEN'S POV‘The guts to actually call me…’She called me and acted as though it were all normal, nothing was normal about stealing from your supposed friend and calling them like a bitch. "Hello Handsome," The voice came through, so subtle and so evil. Did her voice change and she had been using a different kind of voice to communicate with me? ‘No...no it didn't, it never changed. It was always there’I wonder how I never noticed the evil undertone to her voice, it was right there all this time, I was either too busy to notice or didn't bother to care less. "What do you want, Pen?" I asked, picking my words very carefully. She laughed... A very hearty, deep throaty laughter that echoed for a while even over the phone. "You know, for someone who's on the verge of losing everything, you seem to pride yourself so much," She said. "What... Do... You... Want, Pen" I was biting down on my l

SCARLETT'S POV"Yes, we're doing the surgery," As much as those words were the exact words I wanted to hear, it didn't help that it was still haunted and made me scared. Everything after that had just simply gone by in a very big blur, it didn't make sense to me. Why did I have to have that condition? Was my baby going to be safe? Lord please, let my baby be safe."What's the worst possible outcome Doctor?" I asked because I needed to know, I really needed to know what I was up against and what my fears would be. "As we have discussed earlier, Miss. Scarlett... ""Please let's skip the formalities from now on, I'm very okay with you addressing me simply as Scarlett Doctor, since you're going to be my Doctor for a long while, I might as well just get very comfortable,""Point taken, Scarlett," He said it like something foreign or new to his tongue, with a very ridiculous facial expression, it made me almost g

AIDEN'S POV"Where is she?" That was the first thing that came out of my mouth the moment I saw him. Wasn't he the guy that was supposed to be guarding Scarlett? What the hell was he doing there standing in front of the entrance of the Hall I was given directions to? "Welcome Boss" He said as he looked up from his phone, he had been standing and pressing his phone, playing games or something. It made me boil to the pit of my stomach, how dare he be out here playing games while Scarlett is indoors with a Doctor and we have no idea what's going on. "Oh please keep your greetings to yourself. Where is Scarlett" I said, cutting him off immediately. I wasn't here for frivolities or to exchange pleasantries.. I was here because I meant business and I had to stand on that business. "She's inside the consulting room with the Doctor," He said, and as if on cue. The Doctor made his way into the Hall, most likely to know or f
