Violet,

I felt a strong thirst for him. When my eyes met his, I forced myself to act normal, letting the thirst dissolve within me. I ran to him, chased him, walked to him, and even crawled to him. Yet... he was never mine.

Knox was there. The phone I saw earlier was his. So he returned last night after I fell asleep.

When I returned to my ward, I found him frantically searching for me. Yes, for me. Seeing the man you love become desperate brings a whole different level of satisfaction—maybe something else. I didn’t quite know what it was.

Yet, I wanted him to be like this—to want me, to desire me, to see me as someone he would love, kiss, and crave.

“Hey!” I said, my voice calm.

Although I felt a hint of heartache after seeing that woman, I could do nothing more than help her in the way that would secure her child’s future. She was ready to do anything for her child.

The child was lucky—having a parent who would go to any extent to save him. I wondered how the kid would feel when h

  • 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

  • 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    I am not strong

    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
