A Mistaken Surrogate for the Ruthless Billionaire

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE

"Why what's happened?" Doctor Lopez sounded panicked.

"I've been thrown out of my house with no where to go."

"Oh my goodness! The child needs to be safe at all times, let me know where you are I'll send a driver over to you."

In a matter of minutes, there was a small car there to pick her up. "Are you miss bridge?" He asked.

Picking her box, she nodded. She didn't even have the energy to cry from how bad her husband was treating her because it was yet to sink in.

The driver pulled up in a hotel and helped her with booking everything.

The next day dr Lopez showed up at the hotel.

"The move is happening today, he has scheduled everything for today so we don't have much time left."

Doctor Lopez announcement made Lulu realise how this was reality.

Lulu had no one to call, her only family had been Alex and her best friend Emery.

"I'm so sorry with how quickly everything is happening," doctor Lopez said with a sigh.

"It's okay," Lulu tried to show no hints of nervousness.

“This is the contract and all you need to know about surrogacy.”

"What's the contract for?"

"Because Mr Carlson wanted this to happen in a very specific way, these are his personal rules you must follow."

"May I ask why he wants a surrogate? Does he have a wife?"

"No Mr Carlson had never been interested in relationships so it's a surprise why he wants a child."

"Since I'm signing things," she pulled out her divorce paper from her box, "might as well get this over with."

She signed the divorce papers, "I'll get them mailed to him."

"Is this because of Mr Carlson?" Dr Lopez sounded genuinely worried.

"No we didn't separate due to that, he has no idea and I'm hoping to keep it that way."

Dr Lopez's phone rang all of a sudden.

She put it up to her ear.

"Hello? Okay thank you for letting me know."

"What's wrong?" Lulu wondered.

"It's time."

Lulu swallowed hard, maybe this was being too hasty of a decision.

Lulu got to her feet, she put on a simple white dress, and drew her hair back in a simple bun.

She didn't understand why she cared about how she looked right now . She headed out of the hotel room with Dr Lopez.

There was a Porsche parked outside the hotel waiting for them.

The driver took her box and placed it in the trunk of the vehicle.

He opened the back door seat for her and turned to Dr Lopez, "I'll take it from here."

Lulu stared at Dr Lopez who was trying her best to hide how nervous she seemed.

She waved her goodbye until she was out of sight.

This was it. She was moving into the devil's den, her life was about to be changed by David Carlson forever.

Lulu had thought David Carlson's house would be unreal but seeing it in reality, she wondered how one person could be so rich.

The driver pressed the bell, after going through the security at the gate.

A flood of workers were staring back at her with wide smiles.

"Welcome miss," a middle aged woman smiled at her, taking her bags from the driver. “I'm Millet.”

Lulu's eyes followed through the crowd of them and realised she was unconsciously searching for David.

"Oh sir is not here," Millet confirmed as if she read her mind.

"Follow me, I'll take you to your room."

Lulu followed after her.

She noticed all sorts of paintings hanging on the white walls, it must be his art, she thought.

Her room was upstairs, one of many doors facing each other.

Is this a house or a hotel room?

Her bedroom was three times the size of her old one.

It was simple with one bed in the center of the room, but no other decorations.

"If you need anything, press the bell by your bed. I'll leave you to yourself now."

Lulu watched as the woman left the room, she was all alone once more.

She sat on the bed, and buried her face in her hands, this was happening too quickly.

She put her shaky hands to her belly, "what am I doing? All I wanted for years was a baby, I can't give my child up so easily, I'll convince David Carlson to let me keep the baby too, it's only fair."

She didn't really want to be here but she had nowhere to go for now.

"I should read the contract."

Her eyes widened the more she glanced through the pages, "this is insane, how do you expect anyone to live like this?! Must not be in contact, always maintain six feet, do not talk to him unless he talks first, do not leave house unsupervised? These are not proper rules, this is prison, no wonder he pays so much."

She put the overwhelming contract beside her, "he'll have to do things that I need too, especially being in the child's life."

She looked around, it would be very luxurious to have all of this for her child, her baby would grow up well.

Her phone dinged.

It was a picture of Emery and Alex kissing. Emery had sent it. In fact, she had a huge diamond ring engraved on her finger.

Was Alex that wealthy? They always struggled with finances and now he could afford a diamond ring for Emery?

Why did he pretend to be a poor man and only make her suffer this whole time

The image was immediately followed by a fake apology, "oops, I meant to send that to someone else."

She immediately blocked the phone number.

She closed her eyes and fell into the arms of sleep.

Lulu woke up hours later, her eyes flickering to the wall clock.

"It's already past ten p.m, how did I sleep so much?"

Her stomach grumbled, reminding her she hadn't eaten at all.

She looked at the bell she was ordered to ring and felt bad to think of calling a chef.

It wasn't like her to order anyone around, it would also be selfish to wake someone who was already sleeping.

Surely, it's not so hard to find the kitchen in this giant castle.

She headed out of the room, all bright lights had been turned off, leaving only the dim night light.

She shuffled downstairs and found the massive kitchen next to the living room.

She returned to her bedroom after making the sandwich.

She found the bathroom door through her dark room and headed in there.

"Wow," she was truly amazed. Why did they give her such a grand bathroom.

The walls were gold with sculptures all over the room.

She marveled at the huge window by the bath tub that had a view of the mountain in the distance.

"He's surely treating me grandly."

She took all of her clothes off, hanging them on a hanger by the sink and filled the golden rimmed tub with hot water.

No sooner had she sunk her head into the tub did she hear the bathroom door swing open.

Reflexively, she wrapped her arms around herself, letting out an alarming scream as she swung her eyes to the intruder.

No other than David Carlson standing there, stark naked.

With fear in her heart, she widened her eyes at the gigantic man.

"What are you doing here?" They asked at the same time.
