A Mistaken Surrogate for the Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 3
MEETING MR CARLSON
He stared at Lulu's hands with disgust, "is this really why you called me here? You couldn't talk to my assistant?" He flickered his eyes back to Dr Lopez.
"Good it was successful, my assistant will be here with the contract papers."
He turned around to leave on his heels, glowering at Lulu before taking his leave
"What did you just do?" Dr Lopez widened her eyes at Lulu.
"I don't know, I just didn't think you deserved to be in trouble with such a man, I'm still in shock myself but..."
"No you don't understand what you've gotten yourself into, the type of surrogacy we were going to do with him was completely different," she seemed panicked.
"What do you mean?"
"The surrogate is supposed to live with him throughout the pregnancy, with immediate effect."
"I'm sorry, what?!"
"Yes Miss Bridge, he doesn't think anyone would be able to take care of the child's health other than him, and... I was going to tell him the insemination was unsuccessful and-"
"Holy shit, I just didn't know what to do in that time."
"There's so much you need to learn if you want to be a surrogate, so much rules."
"But it's a good thing too," the nurse sniffed, feeling better now knowing her head wouldn't be ripped off. "The pay from Mr Carlson is three hundred thousand dollars!"
Lulu widened her eyes in shock, "what?!"
"Yes, this is why we cannot afford to mess things up."
"I'll do it," Lulu said without thinking.
All her life she had dreamed of being a mother and she had no money left after the IVF with nowhere to go.
"But you need to know you'll have no association with this child forever."
She swallowed hard, "that's the thing about being a surrogate! You're supposed to have no association with the child, it's in the contract, and he even has his own contract terms."
"I... I need some time to think about it."
"Fine, this needs to be extremely confidential, how will we explain things to your husband now?"
She frowned at the mention of Alex.
"He means nothing to me anymore."
Lulu wasn't sure what she had gotten herself into.
Dr Lopez escorted her out, waving her off once she was out of sight.

Lulu got home, reminded of her misery with her husband.
She pulled out the home computer, she typed David Carlson's name into the search bar.
Hot pictures of the man came flooding her page.
Fuck he was the sexiest thing to ever exist, he had so many art works displayed, yet he wasn't smiling in a single picture.
She shook her head, this was not the time to be admiring him.
She flinched when she heard her front door unlock.
Her eyes were shifted into a frown when she saw her husband walk in with Emery entangled by his arm.
"It's not enough that you disturbed and shamed me, how can you still come back here?!" She raised her voice.
"She will move in with me, this is my house bought with my own money!" Alex said.
"What do you mean? I pay rent always, I even sold the necklace I inherited from my late grandmother to keep up with the rent!"
"Well, all that money came to me," he confessed, "I own this house and many more, and the documents are in my drawer as proof."
Lulu stood there in shock.
"Now that you know the truth, there's no need to hide things anymore."
He turned to her ex best friend with a smile,"Emery will be moving in with me."
"What?!"
"Yes, I'm kicking you out."
Her eyes welled with tears. Was this really the same man who had shown her unconditional love for the past four years.
He tossed some papers at her, "these are signed divorce papers, go ahead and sign them, pack your crap and move out."
"Alex!"
"There's no way Emery can live in that small shack of hers anymore, it's not good for the child."
"Alex, how can you do this..."
He left Emery's side, taking Lulu's arms like she was a piece of trash, he pulled her into their shared bedroom and began to toss all of her clothing out.
He pushed her out of the room with a box of her few clothes.
"I expect you to send the divorce letter back as soon as possible!"
She held her box with shaky hands and turned to Emery, "you'll regret this!"
Emery put on a smirk, "that's easy for you to say, Alex loves me."
"He loved me too..."
"That's different! You couldn't bear him a child, I did."
Lulu stood there in amusement, "well then let's see how easily he throws you out when the truth comes out."
Lulu watched as Emery's eyes widened in shock.
Alex wasted no time in throwing Lulu out, not giving her a chance to do more.
Lulu stared at the divorce papers in her hands, she sniffed and pulled her phone out to call Dr Lopez.
"Hello?" came her doctor's sleepy voice.
"I need to move in with David Carlson, tonight."
