I can't recognize him

Damn! I’m done playing the good best friend who doesn’t invade personal space. His words made me furious. As if I didn’t know anything about this man at all. I thought we shared everything. Well, not everything, but this matters...

Throwing him onto the couch and giving a light kick on his leg like I used to, I sat across from him and dialed Mark’s number. It seemed like either I had to end this stupid cat-and-mouse saga or just kill this pathetic loser for not being able to stand up for himself.

As a husband? A lover? A man? Why would he say something like that so suddenly—and disappear? Is he going to die?

“Hey Mark. It’s Violet. Do you have time to come over right now?” I asked, running my fingers through my hair. Let’s see what he had been hiding from me to make such an emotional speech.

Romantically? Why would he say something like that out of nowhere? Did he discover that I’ve been in love with him? No. It couldn’t be. I didn’t want him to know about my feelings and discard them

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Engagement Party

    Violet, After much discussion, Knox and I decided to attend the engagement party. After giving no reply to Anna, she pretty much used all of our external family, including my mother's family, to convince me to join the party. Those people who barely knew me started sending me messages that were unacceptable. However, when Knox noticed those messages, he decided to attend. After all, not long ago, Anna and the rest of my family celebrated his misery. The Mercedes pulled into the driveway of the Riverwood family house. The entire parking lot that had the capacity to fit thirty cars comfortably seemed to be packed with countless cars. I couldn't help but find it laughable. The entire law enforcement team was trying to get their hands on their secrets, and here they were trying to hold a party with a large number of people. How ironic! "Seems like your family is pulling a trick to save their face and clients," Knox muttered before opening the door for me. "I didn't think about

    Violet,I leisurely sipped my coffee when my attention shifted to my phone. My personal phone had been active so much ever since Knox and I got together. His hourly messages, while trying to handle the situation outside, felt weirdly good. Although we had already been at each other's throats like knives, getting attention from him—not as the best friend I secretly loved for years, but as my man—had a different kind of sensation.Now I felt different emotions that I had never experienced before. I was quite afraid of myself. What if I became so obsessed with him that I might become a harmful presence in his life? I couldn't deny the truth about my obsession with something that belonged only to me.But still, this feeling was refreshing. I liked seeing him act like a puppy around me. I hated the fact that I still couldn’t look into his eyes properly without showing my vulnerability.He was calm, yet coaxed me like I was some kind of child to be taken care of. Idiot.I grabbed the phone,

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    The other version of her

    Knox, After that hellish meeting, we arrived at home around 4 pm. We both didn't talk much after that moment when she didn’t hide her feelings toward me. She never cried before. Well, she barely showed emotions. But today, she cried in my arms, letting all the pain out of her chest that had been a burden. As I opened the door, she walked in. I was holding her purse. Placing it on the couch, I watched her letting her hair free. “I swear, if one more old man tries to slap me, I’ll start collecting severed hands as souvenirs,” she muttered. She had been furious with her father's behavior in the end. “Okay." She suddenly turned towards me, her voice softer now. "Spit it out.” I blinked confused, “What?” “You’ve been staring at me like I grew two heads. Either talk or stop being creepy.” She hissed, raising the corner of her eyebrow. “I wasn’t staring,” I tried to deny. But under that sharp gaze, it felt like a failed attempt. “Okay. I was.” “So why?” she asked, taking off the wat

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    A family

    Knox,Violet, sitting like a queen, her expression calm and imposing, laid out three options for everyone who was involved with the entire situation.One, accept all the demands from the victims' family. No excuses. After that, they must have to step down from their positions. And this would be solely responsible for their own company's decision. But they can't or won't dare to bring any shame or loss for the Business Association's all members.Two, go through the legal actions. If they don't accept the demands of the victim's family, they would be handed over to the Authorities. So, the risk of being discovered badly by the higher-ups wouldn't be a good idea for either of them.Three, separating the legal business from illegal business. The leader AKA Mastermind's legal team will enforce their powers to control every legal and illegal deal, exchange and import and export deliveries for 40 weeks.Although the first option was simple and anyone would have accepted the proposal. However

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    My husband

    Knox, All my life, I thought Violet was stronger than me. Smarter, sharper, born to rule Riverwood, which towered over Silverfang in both wealth and influence. But today, I saw something far more powerful in her than strength. Untouchable. That’s what she was. My woman. Unbreakable and fearless. And those bastards who tried to crush her? They didn’t have the spine to finish what they started. Still, she demanded them to apologize for the people who they killed instead of getting justice for herself. She wasn't just a queen of Badass, she was kind too. But that didn’t mean I’d let them walk free. Not after what they did. Not after they almost killed my child. Now, seated in the conference room of the Business Association Building, I could feel the tension pressing in like iron chains. The atmosphere was suffocating. Everyone sat still, alert, like they were moments away from witnessing a public execution. Violet sat at the head of the table, her posture calm, her presence anythin

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Just name it

    The audacity of some people was unhinged. Jenny and Anna looked at me as if I had slapped them across the face. Fury painted their features red, nostrils flaring, breaths ragged and uneven.I folded my arms and sat down without saying a word, raising my eyes to watch their anger swell further."Violet! We understand that you are strong. That doesn’t mean you make three families lose their faces. Have you forgotten that you are part of the family? How dare you give all three families a warning?"Jenny yelled, her voice venomous and cracking at the edges."You ungrateful bitch! You should be thankful for everything we’ve done. Just because our parents didn’t like you, doesn’t mean you get to come for our family! You heartless bitch!" Anna spat, her voice feral with resentment.Knox’s body stiffened beside me. He almost moved, but I held his hand. My voice came calm, almost too calm."What do you want me to do right now?"Jenny scoffed, unprepared for the question. "Take back the warning
