Surrogate Mother To A Contract Wife Chapter 67
Aiden’s POV I sauntered towards the door, and looked back at her one last time. Surprise bloomed across her features, and I looked to the couch. My towel was lying there in a crumpled heap, but my briefs were no longer clinging to my skin like before. Maria would come soon, and the towels would be replaced. Good riddance. “You know the way out,” I said, my hand on the door knob. “Show yourself out, Dessy. And don’t you ever come to my house without a call first. Take care.” “The investors are not going to buy the art,” she said, her voice frantic and filled with fear. That was enough to draw my attention from where I stood in the doorway. I turned around to face her, and knew right away that I’d been caught in her web. She gave me a small smile and sat on the couch after tossing my towel aside. I should have stepped away regardless, but this seemed like important news. I took a few steps back into the study. “Why?” I asked, the word dropping simply. “Because, you lied to t

Aiden’s POV I stared into Odessa’s eyes, those siren eyes I once fell for back in Spain. Or rather, it was otherwise: her wanting to get into my bed, making sure we only had a king-sized bed in the hotel instead of two beds, walking out of the bathroom naked, with water sluicing down her skin and gathering around her in a pool. It had all been a ploy by the master of the art of seduction, and I’d fallen into her net. Her hands closed tighter, and I could feel the blood shift in my body. Heat coursed through me as her body melted into mine, fingers working her wonder. I hated reacting like this, but my body would not be deterred. Being with Odessa was heady, intoxicating, ruthless. She was the perfect similarity to me, only different in terms of gender. It was why we got along so well as children. We were ruthless individuals who would do anything to stay at the top. “Is this how you plan to coax them?” I asked, pleasure coloring my voice. “Sleep your way through all of them.”

Aiden’s POV “You and your delusions of grandeur,” I quipped, shaking my head at her. “Get off your high horse and get down in the mud with the rest of us. Look, if you think you can hold this over me like a sword of Damocles, you can’t.” “What makes you think I can’t?” she asked. “I have all the power here. You have nothing.” “You forget that you’re not the only one with an informant network,” I replied, keeping my voice level. Odessa had to believe that I had something on her even though I didn’t, nor had I thought of her in almost a year or more. But I had a friend, Declan, who owned a communications firm and could help me get whatever information I wanted, no matter how bad it was. “Finally planting your feet in the world, I see,” she said, after remaining quiet. I could see the mechanical gears in her head turning, her mind trying to filter scenarios in her head. Of course someone like Odessa had skeletons in her cupboard. Secrets that she wanted to keep from the world.

Scarlett’s POV I was angry. Anger didn’t seem to encompass how I felt in my heart, but in the absence of any other word to explain my emotions, I went with it. This wasn’t a white-hot anger that bubbled out and lashed like a whip. It was blue-cold, simmering just under the surface of my skin. I was angry at myself for my childish behavior, for letting myself believe that Aiden was human; that he was beginning to see me as a person other than a contract; that maybe, after everything that had happened, these past few weeks, there was some shred of humanity inside of him. But there was nothing. He was vile and ruthless, and full of shit. And I was nothing short of deluded. Back in the pool, I thought maybe he wanted me as much as I wanted him, that he was finally starting to see me as an equal, or something close to that. I felt his body graze mine, and my senses went haywire, my sense of direction going out the window. Seeing that woman stand there and talk to him raked gouges ins

Scarlett’s POV I wrapped the towel tighter around my body, the cold breeze from the air conditioners settling on my skin and making me shiver. I could hear them a little more clearly now as I was very close to the study. The door was ajar, something that never happened when Aiden was around. It had to be the doing of this Odessa woman. She just came into our lives, a life I was starting to enjoy and wrenched it all apart. I was starting to enjoy this attraction simmering between Aiden and I, and some part of me, the useless part, hoped it would go further. I pushed down that part and looked into the study. Bright blue eyes settled on me, and my jaw went slack at the figure before me. Odessa was propped on the table, her legs splayed and Aiden in between her legs. He was still wearing the slightly wet boxer-briefs, and they clung to his skin. I could see the shape of his ass, the tightness under the shorts, the waistband low on his waist and showing some of his bronze skin. His ha

Aiden’s POV I was seething. All of my anger was directed at Odessa who was sitting beside me in the passenger seat, her long legs stretched out on the dashboard. She was relaxed, the wind fanning her hair out in gentle waves. She looked like someone who just won a trophy, a small smile lingering on her face. “Get your legs down,” I growled, my voice low and dangerous, even to my ears. “You’ll scuff the leather.” She smirked, turning her head to look at me. She angled her head to the side, in a way that exposed the slim straps of her dress and the curve of her shoulders. Odessa was taunting me, and she’d gotten really good at it. “Always so perfect and pristine?” she sighed, almost breathlessly. “I never thought you’d end up as a perfectionist.” “But that’s something in your repertoire, right? Always the perfectionist with your pretty little dresses and manicure.” “Ah, so you noticed,” she smiled softly, a seductive one that dipped the curve of her lips. “I didn’t think you w

Aiden’s POV“My sex life should not be the talk of the town!” I yelled, barely able to control my voice. “They shouldn’t be digging my claws into my personal life.” She scoffed. “Personal? There’s nothing personal about your life, Auggie. From the first time you set foot onto this world, your life has been out there for all to see. Our lives, in fact. We’re important people, and we’re born to distract normal people from their boring lives.” “What the fuck does that even mean?” “Don’t play dumb, Aiden. We’ve been in the limelight from the start, and there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it. Trust me on that. It’s why the public wants every chance to see us fall, to smear our names with scandal. You don’t have a personal life. Nothing is personal about your life.” I had the irresistible feeling that Odessa was telling the truth. The PR team sometimes kept me abreast of the situation of things with media houses and gossip blogs and

Scarlett’s POVI rose from the bathroom floor after so much time had passed. I didn’t know how much, but I didn’t care anymore. Not about the sales pitch I was supposed to send in, or anything else. I was raw, unfeeling, lost in the expanse of my own heartbreak. I was just some stupid girl, thinking I could make a beast become a man. How silly to believe in fairytales. “Fuck you,” I said quietly to the air in front of me, and sank onto the bed, the one good thing in any of this. The sheets welcomed me, a soft cloud of cotton floating around me. I stayed still for a few minutes, the image of Aiden leaning over Odessa playing before my eyes. I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. It was safe to say I was still in shock, and my heart broke all over again. Sighing, I picked up my phone. I realized there and then that I knew nothing about Odessa except the calculated guesses I’d made earlier about being close to Aiden enough to know his childhood

AIDEN’S POVIt felt surreal to me.I never could have conceived the idea that I would one day be getting ready to marry the absolute love of my life.It felt like a little dream come true, a dream that I probably never conceived in my wildest imagination.Yet, I felt nothing but happiness and a sense of fulfillment and happiness as I looked on into the future with a sense of hope and happiness.“I see that you’re having cold feet, Son,” my Dad’s voice came through as he walked into the room.I had been standing right in front of the mirror, trying out solid affirmations and reassuring myself that I had made the right choice for myself and my life.“No Dad. I’m very excited, just a little bit nervous,” I tried my best to say, even though my voice was cracking.“She’s so perfect Dad, what if she’s too good for me? I have always been so selfish, what if I’m not good enough for her and our kids?,” I continued.

Of course, it didBut would I pass on the idea of getting married to the absolute love of my life? Not.I was in my room, looking up some of the interior design samples that the decorator had sent to me when I felt his shadow over me.“You need help with that baby girl,” Aiden said, towering over me and leaning in for a kiss.“No, but I may need your help with other things,” I said, smiling and reaching out to kiss him.Every day, I fell more and more in love with this beautiful man.“Oh, I sure know how to help with that,” he said, as he scooped me up and planted a kiss firmly on my lips.I squealed.He lifted me and then dropped me carefully on the bed, all the while kissing me fervently like he was parched and thirsty for me.We had been frequently having

SCARLETT’S POVI watched as Aiden stood up for himself. Being brave against all odds. We all gasped when he said that he wouldn’t be arresting them any longer, knowing that they deserved that arrest, he had been surprising to all of us and even the agents had looked on in disbelief.“You’re sure Mr. Aiden, because we did receive a call that you needed our help getting some people detained, you’re sure that you’re not being held under duress or something like that?” the agent, the one that looked like he was their leader asked, with a questioning glance, as he looked on each of us suspiciously.“No Officer, thanks for your prompt response; but I just made a wrong call due to some confusing series of events, I’m so sorry about that and I apologize,” Aiden said, while trying to look as apologetic as possible.“Alright then Sir, you can always call our office if you feel the need to, we’re always at your service,” The agent leader said, turn

AIDEN’S POVI would be lying if I said that I was surprised by what Pen said, nothing she did seemed to surprise me that much. I had known her for a while and I knew that she did not play by the rule book, but I was glad to have beat her at her own game, it felt extremely refreshing.“you better start explaining yourself, because I have already called the FBI on you and I’m certain you all are not ready to be arraigned for fraud,” I hoped to God that my eyes were portraying exactly how I was feeling. I wasn’t mincing words and I needed them to know that I had all this under control and they were all collectively going to suffer for even trying to sabotage the security of my company.“You all should better start talking because there was no way I was bluffing,”I could see the look of unbelief in the eyes of Charlie Fox and the bewildered look in Pen’s eyes, followed by the tired look in Scarlett.Scarlett was very tire
Surrogate Mother To A Contract Wife Chapter 130
SCARLETT'S POVFor the longest time, I thought I still had a glimmer of hope to hold onto; something small but significant, something that excited the senses even if it burned, something that lingers on in your memory even in the darkness. It was all a facade. In reality, I had nothing. Nothing to hold, nothing to have, nothing to remember, it was all empty, void, and meaningless None of it made any sense, none of it was great, it was all just a sad and lonely facade that I deluded myself into thinking that I had... I had nothing… I watched as Aiden tried to lie his way out of what I had just heard. He had thought me to be a fool all these while I couldn't stand the betrayal that came from knowing all of these. I can't believe Aiden spoke about me in a dehumanizing manner to this lady of all people. At this point, I could say I greatly preferred Odessa sneering at me, not this girl who stood in front

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 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
Surrogate Mother To A Contract Wife Chapter 127
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
