Chapter 1 One

Inside a spacious yet cold room, a woman laid sprawled on the huge bed with nothing on her. She was stark naked and looking rather tired as her face was filled with anxiety, even when her eyes were closed.

The door barged open and a man looked as cold as a glacier yet his beauty could not be ignored. He was the perfect description of the gods in human form. He was too beautiful to be real.

With his hazel looking eyes and the perfect curve of his brows which looked full yet curvy. His golden hair was short but bangs were dangling on both sides of his face. His lips, more beautiful and luscious than that of a woman, seem to make him the perfect description of the god of beauty, if there was any.

Xavier Arceli, the youngest and most ruthless multi-billionaire.

But behind that dangerous beauty lay a desperate man who had just one wish in his life. That was to get an heir to continue his family's bloodline.

He was here again, at the hospital, for the surrogacy. His selected wife couldn't bear a child for him and his family were eager to pounce on his wealth.

At the other end of the hospital, Xavier's icy gaze was looking around with his devilishly handsome face barely hiding the coldness. He arrived at the hospital together with Kaylan, his wife, who was dressed seductively.

Xavier glanced around the reception room and diverted towards the doctor's office. He was hoping to receive some good news today from the doctor.

Just as he was about to get to the doctor's office, a girl suddenly appeared from nowhere and bumped into him.

Xavier's cold gaze bored into the unlucky victim. But the next moment, he frowned. She's the one that bumped into him but she ended up falling on the floor. From the look of things, she must be a nurse from this hospital because she wore their dress.

"Ouch!" She cried softly.

He glanced at the petite girl, something in her eyes drawing him closer. She was beautiful and innocent. He wanted to help her up, but she scurried up, as if afraid she would be eaten by him. Was he that horrifying?

"I'm so sorry, please I'm sorry." She apologized, profusely.

Her voice made him look at her again. He couldn't help but stare at her beautiful face, she looked so gorgeous yet so innocent.

"I'm sorry." She pleaded again.

To avoid more trouble, the girl hurriedly stood up and ran away before he could say anything, not even sparing him a glance.

Xavier looked stupefied by this. No woman had ever left without sparing him a glance. Was she blind not to notice his handsomeness?

But then she looked like a scared little rabbit and his eyes followed her till she disappeared.

"Uhh, are you okay?" Kaylan asked, trying to touch him, she'd noticed everything that happened.

"Yes.. let's go" He answered, pushing off the girl's thoughts from his mind.

Xavier walked into Doctor Mark's office together with Kaylan. Doctor Mark immediately stood up from his seat and he went to greet Xavier.

"President Xavier," Doctor Mark greeted but all he got in return was a cold grunt.

Rather, Xavier just went and sat on the empty chair.

"Have you found anyone for surrogacy? I'm here for good news," He said, not minding the doctor's flattering smile.

"Yes, I did." Doctor Mark said and he went back to his seat. He brought out a file, containing pictures of different ladies.

"These are the only people who agreed to be your baby carrier," Doctor Mark said, handing the file to Xavier.

Xavier stared at the pictures. He released a frustrated sigh, not satisfied with their looks.

He pressed on his temples, trying to control his emotions that were threatening to burst out. He was becoming more frustrated as he looked at the pictures. He turned to look at the doctor with a piercing gaze.

"Are these the only ladies that volunteered to be my baby's carrier? I don't want these women," He stated, his voice a pitch higher, startling both Kaylan and the doctor.

"We shouldn't care about their looks, as long as they can give you a child," Kaylan suggested. She was glad the girls were not beautiful, at least, Xavier won't be interested in any of them.

Xavier was hers alone. She should be the one bearing his child, not those women. If only she didn't have her own secret.

" It's not only about their looks, Kaylan. I just don't feel the connection. Besides, I wouldn't be this eager if you could fulfil your end of bargain," he gritted, suppressing his anger.

Xavier stood up and he walked out angrily. Getting married to Kaylan was the wish of his grandmother. But after five years of marriage with no child, he became desperate. All indications from the test proved it was his fault.

So he opted for a surrogate.

He was getting frustrated at the prospect of an heir. He was the sole survivor of the Leon family and they needed someone to take over from him.

He needed a son.

Xavier was fuming in anger but as he made to leave, his eyes caught the lady who bumped into him earlier.

He stared at her, her body features matched the type of woman he wants to be his baby carrier.

"Sir please, I'll look for other ladies to your taste." Doctor Mark pleaded the minute he got to Xavier.

"I want that lady," Xavier said, pointing at the lady who bumped into him.

"Sir?." Doctor Mark asked, he didn't quite understand what Xavier meant.

"I want her to be my child's carrier." He said and Doctor Mark widened his eyes.

"Huh? she isn't up for surrogacy, she's just a nurse working here." Doctor Mark tried to explain.

" Do you think she would say no to be my baby carrier? I want her. Do all you can," Xavier said.

He gave the lady another glance, wondering why he was so drawn to her. Earlier, she looked worried about something.

Kaylan just stood close to them listening to their conversation. She was burning in fury and jealousy deep down. But, she didn't want to say anything that would make Xavier angry.

"Sir. It would be difficult to convince her to accept such a deal," Doctor Mark sighed.

" Then bring her to me. Let's hear her opinion. I don't think there is anyone who can resist money," he said, still staring at the lady.
