Violet,

The traffic felt like a cage as we were in the car, quiet with no words from each other.

Knox was driving while I was staring outside, feeling like the moment was heavier than ever. The silence between us felt like a heavy wall.

As I took a deep breath, I noticed Knox's eyes were already on me. Clutching the purse, I asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Knox looked away immediately, but the grip around the steering wheel tightened like he wanted to crash it with his grip.

"Grandma was hospitalized!" He said, "Last night, something happened and her blood sugar dropped!"

"I see. Is she alright now?" I asked with genuine curiosity and concern.

He took a glance at me and then nodded, "Yes. Sarah happened to be there last night and that was why she called me today. Now I don't know why Sarah would be in our old house!" His brows knitted with annoyance and confusion.

"She is your woman... Of course she will be -!"

"She isn't!" His voice dropped..."I have already told my parents tha

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    We were stupid

    There was a moment when I thought I was the one who was keeping the anchor of the relationship into the ground. When I thought maybe my love for him would never bloom. His heart would belong to someone, but me. I thought I was nothing more than a shadow lingering behind his spotlight. A quiet heartbeat in a world that demanded roars.However, Knox, whose phone was constantly buzzing, whose world was crumbling behind us, seemed to have no intention of hiding what he felt. Even as the chaos grew louder outside, he looked at me like I was the only person who mattered in the collapsing universe."I don't know what to do anymore. Violet. Yes, I used Sarah. I knew that Sarah was infertile and the reason why I didn't tell anyone about it... I knew that I could blackmail my parents to make you the mother of my child. I didn't want anyone else. I didn't date anyone either. All the time you saw me with another woman, it was all fake. I wanted to see if you would ever get jealous. But... You wer

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Act like a victim

    Mr. Riverwood,Last night,The scent of Wagyu beef steak filled the room as my family and Anna’s fiancé’s family sat around the dining table. We’d had a long day—hiking, fishing with my sons-in-law and their families, introducing Anna’s fiancé to everyone. Everything felt picture perfect.After enjoying a relaxing sauna, we returned to the lake house my mother left us. Even that ungrateful brat had a share in it, though she’d never earned it.Earlier, my lawyer had sent an email confirming Anna wouldn't be receiving her share of the house—even though all of my kids had agreed to divide it. That should’ve settled everything. Anna was upset."I really think that the engagement party here will be perfect. Don’t you think? Mr. Riverwood!"Mrs. Williams, Anna’s future mother-in-law and the vice chairwoman of Williams Enterprise, beamed at me."Why not? This property has been here for a hundred years. My mother bought it when she was just twenty. It’s the perfect place for a memory like my

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Public Apology

    Elder Silverfang,Since yesterday, my own company had been feeling like a battlefield. The ground was shaking beneath my feet, but not because of any external enemy. No. It was because of her. That little vermin who I should've strangled in her cradle. What were we even doing? How did she get all those videos? Who the hell sent them to her?"Fuck!!!" I roared, flinging the crystal ashtray across the room. It shattered against the marbled floor, splintering into glittering shards like the fragments of my so-called empire. My eyes were bloodshot, the muscles on my face tensed so tightly it felt like my skin might split. My fingers clenched, white-knuckled, as I stared down at the mess. My breathing turned erratic, nostrils flaring.All fucking assholes—rats in my own ship. Ready to jump overboard the second it starts sinking. On top of that, that ungrateful creature had the audacity to block us. Blocked me—his maker. His god. The only thing that could've controlled that brat just slip

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Too little to care

    Have you ever felt like you wanted to gather all the strength and slap someone so hard that they could never use those jaws again?I stared at him—Xavier, a man who became one of my trusted comrades on the mission for revenge. I thought I could rely on him because he wasn’t a bad influence and knew his boundaries.But I was disappointed. Too much, in fact. I started digging my nails into my own flesh, a boiling rage rising inside me.“Say that again!” I muttered. “You want to use me as your baby carrier!” I looked straight into his eyes. My voice was calm. The composure that had nearly cracked returned.Because Xavier Watson was no longer the person I used to believe in. And I didn’t want to waste another second grieving over a friendship I just lost.Xavier looked shaken, but the grin of arrogance was still there, working hard to provoke me.“Give me a child. Since it’s getting useful nowadays. We can have it. You can give up on the child and I will raise you.”I smiled—not a happy s

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Emotional Manipulation

    I was confused, distraught, and utterly lost. I witnessed Knox being with Sarah instead of going to his parents' house. And now, I was standing before Xavier's grandma, calling me what? His girlfriend?I turned towards Xavier. He pulled me closer to him and smirked, whispering, "She used to see you from a distance at social gatherings. She desired to see me with you. So I—"I gave him a death glare, realizing that he brought me here using emotional manipulation. I hate when people use me for their advantages. However, he gave a flying kiss before looking at her."Grandma! Didn’t you say you would tell your granddaughter-in-law one of your wishes? You can tell her now!"Her eyes lit up as if she was finally going to say something she had been carrying inside. But I couldn’t let it happen. What if she talked about something bizarre?"Stop it, Xavier!" I muttered, my chest tightening with a rush of nausea and lightheadedness.But Xavier’s attention was on his grandmother, as if he didn’t
