Carrying The Billionaire’s HeirUpdated at Oct 10, 2025, 12:01
"I need an heir from you" Were the strange words that left the lips of Hunter Valenti on this warm summer morning, as he stood in my father's crummy old bakery store. His scent filled the entire shop as he sat in a wooden chair opposite me, his hands placed firmly on the table between us.
"I don't understand" I said, feigning confusion.
"It's simple" He started, looking me dead in the eye but with a subtle plea in his eyes "I need an heir, but without the complexities of finding a wife."

When billionaire heir Hunter Valenti offers Zoe a deal—to carry his child in exchange for enough money to save her struggling family—she’s stunned. Not just by the proposition, but by the fact that it’s coming from him—her childhood friend, her high school crush, the boy she’s secretly loved for years.
To Hunter, it’s business. A legacy to secure. A problem to solve. To Zoe, it’s heartbreak.
Accepting the contract means financial freedom for her father, but it also means watching the man she’s always cherished treat her like a means to an end. As the pregnancy progresses, so do her feelings—complicated now by the quiet moments, the gentle touches, and the glimpse of the boy she once knew behind the billionaire’s cold mask.
But with every heartbeat of the child they created, Zoe must decide: Is she just a surrogate in Hunter’s grand plan… or is there still a chance to be the woman he sees and loves?
