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    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.

  • 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

    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

    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    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
