Violet,

A chill crawled from my toes to the roots of my hair, spreading an unfamiliar unease through my body. It felt as if my world was slowly crumbling beneath me.

"What made you think I would agree to this absurd request, Knox?" My voice came out cold, but my fingers trembled slightly. "Did you even consider my responsibilities as CEO? And on top of that—considering the fact that we both decided to stay child-free!"

His face crumpled with shame, his lips parting as if to defend himself. But before he could, he exhaled heavily and avoided my gaze. "I know," he admitted.

"Then why?" I pressed, my heart pounding painfully in my chest.

Knox hesitated before finally speaking, his voice filled with an emotion I couldn't quite place. "When I met Sarah… I realized I was fine with having a child with her. She was the first woman who gave me the strength to want a family."

His words were like a knife twisting deep inside my chest. So, I had been the fool all along. The day he told

Does Knox seriously not realize what he and everyone else is asking Violet? And then the fact that he is doing all of this to his supposed best friend for someone he hasn’t even known only known for a year because he considers them friends shows exactly what he thinks and feels about Violet.

Really confused. Does Knox love Sarah?! Because it did sound before like an arranged marriage and Sarah being the bride of convenience.

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Protect her

    Knox, I saw that. The look on her face. The look she rarely showed. She was reluctant to see me leaving. And God damn it, I wasn’t happy to leave her side either. Previously, I was ready to go anywhere in the world after being satisfied seeing her as my best friend while hiding the deepest desire to make her mine. But now? No, not even for a single second of my life did I want to stay away from her. She never knew that she was the one I held in my heart as someone holier, someone who could control me like a slave. In front of her, I forgot about my ego, my arrogance—everything, as if she owned my entire existence. Only God knows how much I wanted to live with her forever. "Knox! My child!" Grandma’s weak voice snapped me out of my thoughts. Even in such a crucial time, all I had in mind was her. "You are finally awake. What happened, Grandma? It doesn’t look like you had a heart attack." I held her shaky hand. Although I got the call saying she had a heart attack, it wasn’t tru

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Unshakable unerase

    I knew that Elder Silverfang would never leave me alone. My grandmother had warned me from the beginning to be careful around him. Not only did he try to make my grandma's life miserable, but he even had the audacity to ask her out despite being married. After her rejection, he decided to make her life even more difficult by adding fraudulent information to the Riverwood family business.Now, I understood why he was desperate to get Knox back. Knox might act like a sweet boy in front of me, but he was a business prodigy. Not to mention, Silverfang might be terrified of losing his wealth to me again since we were already legally married.On top of that, Knox had once joked about changing his surname in front of that old man.Whatever it was, I needed to keep an eye on them."Damn! When will we ever be able to live peacefully without all this nonsense?" I grunted while sipping the warm tea Knox had brewed for me."What are you thinking, my princess?" Knox’s voice cut through my thoughts

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    An Apology from Anna

    The warmth of the blanket and the faint, soothing sound of pages turning somewhere close by made me stir. My eyelids fluttered open, heavy with the satisfaction of a deep, undisturbed rest. I felt light, as though every ounce of tension had melted away. Whatever aches I had from yesterday were gone, replaced by a pleasant afterglow, like I had indulged in the kind of exercise that left both the body and soul content.For a fleeting second, I imagined Knox holding me, his arm draped around my waist, his steady breathing brushing against my ear. A smile curved my lips as I turned, expecting the empty side of the bed to greet me. But instead, my heart nearly skipped a beat.Knox was there.He was sitting upright, leaning slightly into a pillow, with a casual grace that made my chest tighten. A pair of glasses rested on his nose, framing his sharp features in a way that only amplified his perfection. His hair was slightly tousled, a strand falling over his forehead as he looked down at hi

  • The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception    Never leave my side

    The road to our cottage was quiet, the only sound coming from the soft hum of the engine and the occasional whisper of wind against the windows. The night was cold but gentle. Knox’s hand stayed on mine the entire way, his thumb stroking slow, thoughtful circles on my skin. He didn’t say much, but he didn’t need to. The weight of his silence wasn’t heavy; it was comforting, like the steady beat of a heart. His gaze was there, watching me with no distance, no demand nothing. Just there, whispering to me that he belonged to me. I wouldn't lie to myself. I was getting obsessed with him. He was the anchor after my grandma's death. Having him as mine, it kept driving me crazy. Now I failed to imagine myself without him. He was my obsession, my salvation and my other half. " We are here!" He softly said. A gentle smile crept onto his lips. When we finally pulled into the driveway, the familiar warmth of our little place greeted us. The cottage stood there under the evening sky

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

    Violet,Although we wanted to leave as soon as possible, we couldn’t—not with my pretty little mouth stirring trouble and the swarm of desperate guests trying to patch up the mess I’d created with their last-minute damage control.By the time Knox and I were finally ready to leave, my dearest father decided to appear, blocking our way like some self-appointed judge of my crimes, demanding to talk.I almost smiled. Well, wasn’t this a surprise? Years of being the unloved, forgotten daughter had turned me into a spectator of their chaos. And I loved nothing more than watching their carefully built world begin to crumble.Now, Knox and I were seated in my father’s study—a room that once felt like forbidden territory. As a child, I used to sneak in, hoping for even a moment of my father’s attention. I’d sit quietly, pretending to be reading his books, or try to start a conversation that would never last beyond a grunt or a dismissive glance.But he never cared. He never even looked at me

    "You know him?" Knox's deep voice came from behind as I stood up, my grin widening.I grabbed Knox's arms and placed them around my waist. He flinched. My pretty boy always flinched whenever I initiated the touch. Cute."What are you doing?" he asked in shock."Maybe I will do something psychopathic right now. If I go extreme, be my anchor, My Princess!" I pressed my lips to his before smirking.Knox froze for a brief moment before a handsome smirk adorned his lips. "Go as far as you want. I will fix it with logic, my dearest Knight."I looked at Anna, who looked like she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. However, the expression of her fiancé was a spectacle."Hey, Anna. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the party?" Knox, closely holding me, asked.Anna looked at Knox and then at me. "Well, um... I am here to introduce my fiancé to you two." She thought we didn’t hear anything.Her expression lit up immediately, and she held her fiancé’s hand. "Please meet my fi
