I watched her face turn pale. Mrs. Bakers, or whatever her name was, looked genuinely confused. Well, wise people don’t rush. They take their time before acting.

Matteo looked as if he had been punched in the face. His lips opened and closed like a goldfish within seconds, as though he was scrambling to find a word to protect his job.

Too bad. People who like to kiss others’ shoes just because they have money make me sick.

"Ms. Riverwood! Please reconsider! I have been working here for years. I have experience and—!"

"Experience of treating people based on their outfits or social status?" I snapped, my patience wearing thin.

"I...!"

"And I’m pretty sure if the tables hadn’t turned, you would have forced me to beg for forgiveness and insulted me. Do you think I would let a man like you handle my business?" My voice was calm, edged with a sharp, low growl.

"I am really sorry. Please don’t take my jo—!"

"Enough!" Mrs. Bakers roared, pushing him out of her sight. "How dare you insult me h

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Join us to have lunch

    Cyrus cooed, chewing on his own finger. His big eyes shifted between me and the man who was staring at me with concern.I froze, my breath catching as if time itself had stopped. My chest tightened, my pulse hammering so violently it echoed in my ears. That scent—familiar, intoxicating—slid into my lungs like a cruel reminder of the past I never wanted to forget.Mirah gasped, her hand flying to her mouth in horror, while Julia furrowed her brows in confusion, her knuckles turning white on the stroller’s handle."State Bene?" he asked again, his voice low and firm, filled with quiet authority. This time, his attention dropped to Cyrus, who clutched the fabric of his shirt with tiny fists.My throat went dry. Maybe my heartbeat was too loud, or maybe I had simply forgotten how to speak, but not a word left my lips. I just stood there, stiff, as if I hadn’t heard him at all.His hand slipped from my waist and pressed against my forehead, his palm warm, his brows knitting together as his

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    You are fired

    The scene before me felt awfully similar, but this time it was a different woman.Now I wondered whether I looked so easy to bully or not."My apologies, Madame! The dress has been chosen by her!" the saleswoman politely informed her.But to my absolute horror, she slapped her right across the face and screamed, "How dare you talk back to me! I said I would take this cloth. Tell her to take it off!"The absolute audacity of that woman made my blood boil. Not only did she dare to demand such an absurd proposal, but she also bullied another person. Judging by her accent, she didn’t sound like a native trying to speak English."Oii!" She suddenly snapped her fingers and held her platinum card toward me as if she was showing off. "I will pay you ten times more. Give the dress to me. You understand me, right?"I narrowed my eyes but ignored her completely. I had zero patience for people like her. However, before I could get close to the cashier, she roared from behind,"Don’t force me to d

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Girls' Day

    Violet,The sunrise was beautiful on the rooftop of the top building in Palermo. I came here exactly two weeks ago, with my little prince, Cyrus. The penthouse that I purchased two months ago was one of the biggest purchases I did after my baby was born, just to make sure he would meet his dearest father soon.Cyrus slept on my chest, tiny, almost fourteen months, as I enjoyed the warmth of the sun. His small fingers curled around my fingers with unspoken trust in his mother. His soft breath felt like a reminder that we were still alive, fine, and doing great.The pregnancy after the discovery that they didn’t kill my child was truly challenging. After Darla’s warning about my pregnancy, and her prediction that I might have a bad journey, I decided to stop searching for Knox. After all, Elder Silverfang wouldn’t dare to hurt Knox at any cost. His weird obsession with his own grandchild gave me positive assurance that I could wait.So, today, here I was, with the baby boy whose birth w

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    The last mission

    Two years later,Palermo,In the quiet city, a club came to life. Drugs, alcohol, women and members of gangs were all the prime stars in this club hidden from the world.The usual pulse of music had been cut down to a low, menacing thrum, like the steady heartbeat of a predator waiting to pounce. Smoke coiled lazily above the leather couches, where he sat like a king on his throne—legs stretched, one arm draped over the backrest, his glass of whiskey untouched.His men stood scattered around the dim room, shadows with guns, watching the regular scene unfold.At his feet, a man knelt, blood dripping down his swollen face, soaking into the floorboards. His breaths came in ragged gasps, each one rattling like broken glass in his chest.Everyone who was enjoying the scene couldn't stop grinning.“Please… boss… forgive me… I—I didn’t mean to—” His words choked on blood as he clutched at his ribs, trembling.The Boss tilted his head, studying him like one studies an insect before crushing i

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    You aren't delusional

    " I can't believe that my baby is alive!" I almost jumped on my spot, feeling like on cloud nine. My heart hammered so hard my ribs felt like they would split; my fingers grazed the fabric of my dress and trembled." Who said that the baby is alive? Not even in a single chance after all the attacks. Your body isn't built of steel, Violet!"My eyes widened when a voice came. My attention instantly went to my head. It was flat, once again. The extra weight I had all these months vanished too! My chest tightened, breath coming short and shallow as if someone had squeezed the air out of me." Knox is dead too. So stop being so delusional. You failed to protect them. You are as weak as ever. Nothing has changed!"" Stop!" I snarled, the words ripping out of me even though my hands had gone cold, my nails pressing crescents into my palms, " They're alive. Xavier just confirmed and I am going to be the mother of -!"" Delusional! Pathetic!" The voice laughed, pushing me towards the stairs, "
