Damian gripped the steering wheel with one hand while the other stayed locked around Chloe’s fingers in the back seat of the armored SUV. She winced beside him, breath hissing through clenched teeth as another wave of pain hit. The safehouse had lasted less than two hours before the contractions returned, sharper this time, pulling her body forward despite the seatbelt.

“Stay with me,” he repeated, voice low and steady even as fear clawed up his throat. “Breathe through it. Just like before. In

    Morning sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, but Chloe barely noticed it.She sat curled up on the living room sofa, a blanket wrapped around her swollen legs while one hand rested absentmindedly over her belly.The twins kicked gently beneath her palm.Normally, their movements made her smile.Today...

  • THE BILLIONAIRE PLUS SIZE SURROGATE    THE WOMAN IN THE MIRROR

    Chloe stood in front of the full-length mirror in the penthouse bathroom, hands resting on the heavy curve of her belly. She and Damian had been discharged from the hospital only a few hours earlier under strict medical orders. The contractions had eased for now, but the doctors had made one thing painfully clear—she was to remain on complete bed rest inside the penthouse. A private obstetric team would monitor her daily, and at the first sign of regular contractions or distress from either twin, Damian was to bring her straight back to the hospital. The penthouse no longer felt like home. Prescription bottles sat neatly on the bathroom counter. A blood pressure monitor rested beside the sink. Emergency numbers were taped to the refrigerator downstairs, and the guest room had been converted into a temporary medical room. Even here, she couldn't escape the reminder that every day of this pregnancy was a battle. The fluorescent light overhead made every new stretch mark, every swoll

  • THE BILLIONAIRE PLUS SIZE SURROGATE    CHAPTER 50: THEY WONT STOP

    Marcus had just gone public in a press conference. The headline flashed across the screen: *Marcus King Takes Full Control of King Enterprises — Files for Emergency Custody of Damian’s Unborn Twins, Citing Instability and Safety Concerns.* The photo showed Marcus standing at a podium, smiling like he had already won. The company was gone. And now he was coming straight for the twins in open court. Damian tightened his hold on Chloe as the reality crashed over them both. The war had just gone fully public, and Marcus was no longer hiding in the shadows. Chloe stared at her phone screen, the news alert glowing harshly in the dim hospital room. Marcus’s press conference played on loop in the video embedded at the top of the article. He stood at a podium, smiling like a man who had already won, announcing his full control of King Enterprises and the emergency custody filing for “the King heirs” due to Damian’s “instability and dangerous associations.” “They won’t stop until they des

  • THE BILLIONAIRE PLUS SIZE SURROGATE    CHAPTER 49: PAID POISON

    Chloe let the phone drop back onto the table. “She’s still doing it. Even now. While I’m hooked up to machines trying to keep them inside me, she’s out there telling the world she’s the rightful mother and I’m just the broken incubator. Demanding access like she has any right.” Damian picked up the phone, scanned the article, and set it face down with more force than necessary. “She’s desperate. The court sees through it. We have the tampering evidence. The payments. All of it. This is noise. You focus on you and them. Nothing else.” Chloe shifted slightly, trying to find a more comfortable position against the pillows. The monitors picked up the twins’ heartbeats again, steady for now. She let out a shaky breath and looked back at Damian. “If they come early… what names do we even use? We talked about it but never decided. I keep thinking about that. Like if I pick them now, it makes this real in a way I can hold onto.” He pulled his chair even closer, elbow resting on the bed

    Damian gripped the steering wheel with one hand while the other stayed locked around Chloe’s fingers in the back seat of the armored SUV. She winced beside him, breath hissing through clenched teeth as another wave of pain hit. The safehouse had lasted less than two hours before the contractions returned, sharper this time, pulling her body forward despite the seatbelt.“Stay with me,” he repeated, voice low and steady even as fear clawed up his throat. “Breathe through it. Just like before. In slow. Out slower. I’ve got you.”Chloe nodded tightly, free hand pressed hard against the side of her belly. Sweat beaded on her forehead. “It’s stronger now. Damian… they feel lower. Like they’re really trying to come.”The driver took a sharp turn toward the private medical wing, tires squealing against the pavement. Damian kept his eyes on her face, thumb stroking the back of her hand in the same rhythm he’d used through every scare before. “You’re doing everything right. The twins are fight

  • THE BILLIONAIRE PLUS SIZE SURROGATE    CHAPTER 47: NO SAFE PLACE

    “Deal,” he said, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. They stood together slowly. Damian kept one arm around her as they moved toward the bedroom to pack. Chloe opened the nursery door one last time, needing to see it before they left. She ran her hand along the wall near the crib, steadying herself, when her fingers brushed something small and hard embedded in the drywall. She froze. “Damian…” He stepped beside her. She pried at the spot with her nails until a small black device came loose, a hidden listening bug, wires still connected, blinking faintly. Someone had been listening. In the nursery. To every word they had spoken about the future, about names, about their hopes. Chloe stared at the device in her palm, fresh horror washing over her as the realization hit. They had never been safe here. Not even for a moment.Damian crushed the listening device in his fist, plastic cracking sharply between his fingers as wires dug into his palm. Blood welled up from a small cut but

    Get out,” Damian snarled, stepping closer to Vanessa in the middle of the penthouse living room. “We’re done. You walked away in front of the cameras. Don’t come back here claiming it’s my kid.” Vanessa tossed her hair, hand resting on her flat stomach like that proved anything. “You sure about t

    Damian pushed open the door to the guest suite and stopped. Chloe stood with her back to him, shoulders hunched forward, gripping a thick folder so hard the edges bent. Tears tracked down her cheeks and dripped onto the papers. “You were always going to throw me away,” she whispered, voice cracki

    Chloe sat on the edge of the couch, one hand pressed to the side of her belly where the twins were kicking hard, like they could feel the chaos too. Her phone screen glowed with fresh headlines. Billionaire's Fiancée Dumps Him for Richer Man, Surrogate Drama Explodes. "Shit," she whispered, thumb

    “I’m not moving in with you and your fiancée,” Chloe snapped with her arms crossed tight over her chest as she stood in the middle of Damian’s penthouse living room. The overnight bag she’d brought sat untouched by the door. “This was supposed to be monitoring, not me playing house with the two o
