HIS FORBIDDEN SURROGATE BRIDE
“I'll give you everything you want in this world, just carry my child.”
“What are you saying?” Anastasia asked, lips quivering with shock.
“I’m saying, be Mrs. Moretti again, be my wife, and carry my child.”
************************
Anastasia’s perfect life turned out to be a sham after she found her husband cheating on her with his secretary and lost her child. But instead of remorse, her husband blamed her for it and stole her father’s company from her.
This filled Anastasia with hate. She promised to make him bleed and pay him back in his own coin, but she had been swindled out of her family’s fortune and could only ask people for help. The only person who offered was her ex–brother-in-law.
She knew the only person who could dare go against her ex-husband was his half-brother, so she agreed. But he had only one condition: she had to carry his child, and it had to happen within a year.
“We just have to sleep together during your fertile window, and the moment you carry my child, we are done.” That was the agreement, but it wasn’t that simple. As the fire of revenge burned through Anastasia wanting to destroy her ex husband, she found herself burning for her ex-husband’s brother.
But she didn’t want that, because behind the man’s cold demeanor lay a secret she couldn’t handle.

Chapter: CHAPTER 58ANASTASIA"Don't bother pouring coffee," Harrison said, slamming his heavy leather bag onto the table so hard it rattled my cup. "We don't have time for coffee."I kept my hands wrapped around my mug, watching him pace back and forth. "It's seven in the morning, Harrison. The court doesn't open for two hours.""They opened at midnight just for Marcus," Harrison said, reaching into his bag and pulling out a fat stack of papers with a bright blue cover. He threw them into the middle of the table, his tie crooked and his eyes bloodshot. "Marcus didn't sue us through the front door. He went straight to a judge's house at midnight and walked out with a emergency order."Across the table, Damien sat back in his chair. He didn't jump, and he didn't look worried. He was just spinning a dark metal pen between his fingers, his suit jacket unbuttoned, looking totally calm."What kind of order?" Damien asked, his voice low and flat."They are saying you aren't mentally fit to run the team," Harri

Chapter: CHAPTER 57DAMIENThe clock on the wall read past three in the morning The rest of the penthouse was dead quiet, but a single strip of warm yellow light spilled out from under the cracked door of the study. I pushed it open without making a sound.Anastasia was slouched sideways in my heavy leather armchair, her head resting flat against the edge of the mahogany desk. Her left arm was stretched out over a pile of printed financial audits, her fingers still holding a black pen that had leaked a tiny dot of ink onto the corner of a page. Her breathing was slow, heavy, and completely exhausted.I stood in the doorway for a long moment, my jaw tight.She had been running on three hours of sleep a night for a week straight, fighting Marcus's legal team line by line, burning herself out to keep her father's name on the front of the building. Seeing her like this—tiny, pale, and completely drained, lying in the dark under a single desk lamp—made a dark, restless anger churn in my chest.I walked acros

Chapter: CHAPTER 56ANASTASIAThe light from the double monitors was burning holes straight into the back of my eyes.It was one in the morning. The main office on the fifth floor was completely dead, except for the server room where five of us were crammed around a folding table littered with empty energy drink cans, stale coffee cups, and printouts of system error logs.My phone vibrated against the desk for the twentieth time in two hours. I didn't even pick it up to check the screen. I knew who it was. Marcus. Or one of his stooges on the board trying to act like they were deeply concerned about the "technical difficulties" suddenly breaking our main network."Talk to me, Leo," I said, rubbing my temples with the heels of my hands. "Tell me we have something."Leo, our lead systems administrator, slammed his hand down on his mechanical keyboard and let out a long, frustrated breath. He was wearing the same grey hoodie he’d been in since yesterday morning, his eyes bloodshot and raw."It’s not a reg

Chapter: CHAPTER 55DAMIENMy phone was buzzing against my leg before I even reached the top of the stairwell. I yanked it out and put it to my ear, my boots pounding hard against the concrete steps."Talk to me, Viktor," I growled into the mic."The garage is cleared out," Viktor said, his heavy voice breaking through static. "We towed the last civilian car out five minutes ago. The city parking authority is blowing my phone up. They say we're breaking the stadium lease agreement.""Fuck the city," I said, hitting the heavy push bar on the door and tearing into the main executive hallway. "Cancel the contract right now. Tear the lease up. Effective five seconds ago, the lower levels belong to us. Tell the gate guards if any car comes down that ramp without my personal clearance, put a bullet through the engine block.""Understood," Viktor said. "What about the stadium parking staff? The guys working the booths?""Fire every single one of them. Right now," I said, pacing fast down the carpeted hallway. "

Chapter: CHAPTER 54ANASTASIA "The hard copies are locked in the trunk," Viktor said, his heavy voice echoing in the quiet, concrete expanse of the executive underground garage. "Damien is finishing up with the auditors on the fourth floor. He wants you waiting in the armored SUV, Ms. Black.""I can walk twenty feet to my own car, Viktor," I said, sliding my key fob out of my suit jacket. The sharp heel of my boots clicked against the polished concrete floor. "The garage is locked down. You have guards at every gate.""Doesn't matter," Viktor grunted, stepping two paces ahead of me with his right hand resting inside his tailored coat. "After what we found on Marcus's ledger tonight, nobody moves alone. Not even for twenty feet."I let out a slow breath, my thumb tracing the smooth metal of my key fob. The cold, damp air of the lower level made me shiver, but the adrenaline from the audit was still humming through my veins. We had Marcus trapped. The paper trail connecting his Swiss accounts to Brandon M

Chapter: CHAPTER 53DAMIEN"Lock the doors from the outside, Viktor. Nobody leaves the executive floor until I say so," I said, my voice cutting through the quiet hum of the front office."The board members are already calling my cell, Boss," Viktor replied, stepping into the conference room with two heavy leather lockboxes in his arms. He set them down on the center table with a loud thud. "Marcus’s personal assistant tried to clear out his filing cabinet twenty minutes ago in the West Wing. My boys stopped her at the elevator.""Did she have the ledger?" I asked, walking over to the glass wall that overlooked the empty row of desks. My right shoulder was still stiff under my suit jacket, but the throbbing pain had dulled into a steady burn."She had three flash drives and a stack of shredded travel receipts," Viktor said. He gestured toward the door, where six men in sharp charcoal suits were walking in, each carrying heavy leather briefcases and high-speed encrypted laptops. "This is Miller’s forensic
