All Chapters of SURROGATE FOR THE COLD BILLIONAIRE: Chapter 101 - Chapter 109

Dominic’s POVNobody argues with me.That should have been my first warning.Usually, when I make a decision while angry, Marcus argues.Emma argues.Mrs. Kowalski definitely argues.This time, nobody says a word.Emma rises from her chair and walks toward me.Her hand slides into mine.“Don’t go there looking for a fight.”I look at her.“I’m not.”She raises an eyebrow.We both know that’s a lie.“Dominic.”“I’m going for answers.”“You can get answers without declaring war.”Marcus snorts into his coffee.I ignore him.Emma squeezes my hand.“Promise me you’ll listen before you react.”“I’ll listen.”“That’s not what I asked.”I sigh.“I’ll try.”She studies me for a second.Then she nods.It’s the best she’s getting.An hour later,

Emma’s POVI stared at the message.Over and over again.The words didn’t change.Emma.We need to talk.It’s about what I did to you and James.My hands were shaking.Not violently.Just enough that I noticed.Enough that Dominic noticed too.He gently took the phone from my hand and read the message himself.The second he finished, his jaw tightened.“Absolutely not.”I blinked.“What?”“You’re not meeting him alone.”I almost laughed.Only Dominic could jump straight to that conclusion.“I haven’t even replied.”“Good.”He set the phone on the coffee table.“As far as I’m concerned, that’s where it stays.”I folded my arms.“That’s not realistic.”“It is if I throw it into the river.”Despite everything, I smiled.Just a little.Dominic noticed.His expression softened.Only for a moment.Then the concern returned.“Emma.”“I know.”“No, I don’t

Emma’s POVFor a moment, I thought I had heard him wrong.I stared at Dominic.Waiting for him to explain.Waiting for him to tell me there was some misunderstanding.Some mistake.Some ridiculous rumor that nobody would believe.Instead, his expression remained grim.Serious.Real.“What do you mean?”My voice sounded distant.Like it belonged to someone else.Dominic looked down at the phone.Then back at me.“The article claims the surrogacy contract makes you a carrier only.”I blinked.Once.Twice.The words refused to make sense.“What?”His jaw tightened.“They’re arguing that because the embryos weren’t genetically yours, you don’t have legal parental rights.”The nursery suddenly felt too small.Too hot.Too difficult to breathe in.I looked to
