The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception A woman
"And—" He looked directly into my eyes and said the cruelest words I’d ever heard from him. "I wouldn’t have a child if it wasn’t for Sarah. So you should respect her as the child’s mother. You’re nothing but the surrogate mother."What do you think I felt at that moment? Heartbreak? Anger or humiliation? No... Nothing. Literally nothing. Not a single heartache. I was frozen—blank and numb inside. The person I had once loved, the person who had once been my world, now looked unrecognizable and cruel. I smiled dryly and then nodded with my body shaking with overwhelming emotions. "Good," I muttered, swallowing the pain that cut through my throat like a thorn. "But in that agreement, I said I had the right to terminate the pregnancy. Since you’ve proven just how ungrateful you truly are, I don’t want to waste my time or body for a bunch of ungrateful bitches." Knox’s eyes widened as I smirked. And it wasn’t a smirk of vulnerability or empty threats. I meant it. "You won’t do it," K

Knox,A woman?Her words reminded me of that day in school—the chaos that erupted when one of our classmates punched her best friend in the face. All because his girlfriend had spread rumors after learning her secrets from him. She was jealous of their bond. That day, we laughed. We said we'd never risk our friendship over a woman.Now, my chest tightened like a vise was wrapped around my ribs. My eyes locked on her. She looked so different. So cold. Her voice didn’t crack. Her body didn’t shake. Her expression was composed, terrifyingly so.How could someone say something that strong while staying that calm?She had changed. Violet had changed—and with her, my world tilted."I don't need you," she said. Her tone was sharp, her words precisely placed like blades. "Because I lost you the moment you thought it was fine risking our friendship, ghosting me for a woman you knew only a few weeks." She breathed in, as if steadying herself before swinging another blow."It's not a lie, it's

Sarah turned to me, her expression collapsing into panic. "What does she mean?" she asked, her voice trembling. Her mother clutched her arm, trying to steady her, but Sarah shoved her away, her breathing turning frantic. "What is she talking about? Knox—what does she mean? What does she mean you're married?" I didn't answer fast enough. Her face twisted as realization dawned like a thunderclap. "No. No! Tell me she’s lying. Please—tell me she’s just trying to get back at me! Tell me this is all fake! "Sarah..." I tried to speak, but my voice came out too quiet, too slow. "You married her?!" she screamed, her voice breaking apart like glass. "You married her?!" She dropped to the floor, hands shaking violently as she pulled at her own hair. Tears streamed down her face in ugly sobs. “Why?! Why would you do this to me? Because I can’t get pregnant? Is that it?! You married her behind my back?!” "Sarah—" "You could’ve told me! You could’ve said something!" she wailed, pou

Violet,It was a spring day when I found him lying under that sacred tree. His long hair covered half of his eyes. The uniform was wrinkled after lying on the grass for a while.I sat beside him, staying silent and enjoying that calm moment where my racing heart and his soft snores were the only thing between us.Earlier that day, when our friends went home after school, one of the girls confessed to Knox. In front of everyone, including our math teacher. I was beyond angry. I wanted to hurt her, get rid of her, or make her suspended.However, one thing that stopped me from doing anything was when Knox mentioned that he was a human, not an object to be controlled and claimed as someone's belonging.That day I realized that no matter how strong, how ruthless, how much of a wild beast I became, I would never force him to love me or harm the people he chose to love.Whenever I saw him with some girls, I knew I was jealous and angry. However, he never broke his promises.Sometimes I wonde

"So, you aren't here to show how much you love me." I sat down, placing a cup of coffee on the table. "Why are you here?" I asked.Xavier let out a humorous laugh before grabbing the coffee cup. "You never disappoint me with your sharp recognition. That's true. I am not here only to show my love for you!" His voice shifted to seriousness as he sipped the coffee."I met Carl Anglesey in LA. He had a secret meeting with some businessmen involved with the case you have been investigating. However, they seem to be having cracks in their trust.""Cracks?" I leaned into the chair. "I thought they were solid as stone!""Well, you know, stone gets cracked too. They are having a debate about a blueprint. Something related to their illegal business.""Hmm."It wasn't hard to betray the closest people in their lives when it came to greed."Keep yourself out of that mess if you don't want to drag your company into it, Xavier. All you have to do is keep an eye on them.""Thank you. Yes. I am not t

For some reason, I had a good sleep last night. No nightmares, no headache or insomnia. Yet, the peace felt foreign, almost suspicious, as if my mind was preparing me for a deeper plunge.Knox didn't return last night... Probably stayed over with his beloved woman. Each time I remembered about him, a sharp rage crept into my mind, tightening my chest with a suffocating bitterness I refused to acknowledge. I was pregnant with his child and at the end of the day, the child would go to him. After all, I wasn't in the right position to raise a child by myself. A hollow ache gnawed at my ribs, spreading like a quiet fire I couldn't put out.But it might look like a Zero-sum situation. But if I thought differently, it was a Non-zero-sum situation for me. But certainly, I couldn't think about it anymore. The mere thought twisted something inside me, a knot of resentment and helplessness I quickly shoved away.I would try and love the child as much as I could. But I didn't know if I c

"Vio!" His voice came out a bit impatient and irritated. As if he was frustrated with my behavior. "Let's talk. I can't understand what's happening with us. I don't know what happened to you either. Why did you suddenly -?" "There is nothing happening with us, Knox." I faced him, my eyes sharpening, slicing through the air like a blade. "We have already had our answers. Go back... Move out of the house. Knox. I would rather spend time with empty walls than facing you!"Knox's eyes widened when he heard that. Clenching his jaws, he took a deep breath and attempted to stay calm. "Violet! Please I can't understand what is happening. We have a deal. We had a deal that we can't tell her about our marriage. We can't -!" "Is this what you have been upset about?" I asked with disbelief. "You are upset because your woman has become the other woman without knowing?" "Vio!!!" His voice raised, his eyes darkening... "Don't do it!" "Don't fucking raise your voice, Knox." I gritted my teeth, b

Lying in the empty room in the hospital, surrounded by the scent of disinfectant and an uncomfortable feeling within me, I realized that I was getting attached to this baby more than I actually wanted to believe.The moment the doctor explained that because of stress, I almost miscarried, I felt like I was going to lose something important in my life.And certainly, it was bad. Once my mind accepted something as mine, something that belonged to me, I became obsessed with it. What if I couldn't let it go once the time came?I couldn't understand what to think about it. I wanted to feel neutral. But now it was quite impossible.As I took a deep breath, I heard the door opening. Knox went to talk to the doctor and Mirah to lock the house since we left it as it was in the morning.But when I tilted my head, I noticed a figure walking towards me with hurried steps."Violet!? What happened to you?"Xavier! What was he doing here? How did he know that I was here?"Lying in bed." I responded

"Grandpa! What will happen if we terminate any contract without any explanation or solid reason?"I asked, feeling the chill down my spine. My hair stood up, feeling the terror creating turmoil inside me. His brows raised, "Maybe you will be blocked by her company. If she blocks your company, that means the entire Business Association will block you as well!" "What?" I exclaimed with horror. "Why would the Business Association block our company? You said she doesn't play dirty!" "Listen, kid!" He leaned closer... "Despite the fact that she has all the little dirty secrets under her control, Violet is one of the most trusted businesswomen. They'll choose her over me without a second guess. Now, if she thinks that she doesn't want to be a partner with a certain company, those people will automatically pull themselves away. Because Violet never plays unfair games in business. She puts her business and personal life separately!" My heart raced against my chest... What if we face som

Sarah, "Why are you all so scared of Violet? Just kill her if needed!" Sitting in the private study room of Elder Silverfang, I asked. I was fed up with those people's bullshits. They all hated Violet from the depth of their heart. Even her own family seemed to have hated every inch of Violet. But nobody dared to go against her. Not even this old man, Mr. Silverfang, one of the notorious Mafia leaders who had been putting a perfect businessman image, but beneath his mask, he was a cruel man. My parents had been friends with him from both sides. And to make the family relationship stronger, they forced Knox to get settled down with me. "It's not easy to say that!" Elder hit his cane on the floor before standing up. His eyes were settled on the floor with some deep thoughts. "Why not? You can force her parents to seize her position, disown and kick her out. Or... You can use her to control Knox. Look at her. She even got pregnant because Knox wanted!" Elder Silverfang nodded quie
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Selfish and pathetic person
Knox,It all started two years ago when I accidentally discovered my grandpa's real job behind the façade of being a perfect billionaire.The world I was born into—full of freedom and trust—crumbled that day, like it had never truly existed.My father knew. He kept me in the dark so I wouldn't get trapped in this unbearable secret. But life has its own twisted way of leading us where we’re meant to go.And when I accidentally stumbled into that world, there was no way back. They knew exactly what my weaknesses were. They knew what would keep me from standing against them.At first, I tried my best to escape the mess. I believed that managing the estate, running the company, doing what I had always done—was the only way to stay clear of their grip.But I was painfully wrong.They didn’t just want control of the company. They wanted everything. And before they took it all, they set out to destroy every part of me—every weakness, every joy, every last piece of who I used to be.It starte

Knox"Please keep in mind that the fetus is in a fragile position. Don’t let her stress over anything. This period is crucial for the baby.”The gynaecologist handed me a prescription while calmly outlining what Violet needed. Her tone was professional, but her eyes held quiet urgency. I took the paper with a nod, clutching it like it was the only anchor in the storm swirling inside me.After she kicked me out for siding with Xavier, a deep ache rooted itself in my chest. I didn’t blame her. I had it coming. But even then, I couldn’t bring myself to walk away. Not when she was in pain. Not when she was still carrying my child.Violet has always been the center of my world. Seeing her stand with another man over me—God, it made my blood boil. But I had no right to be angry. Not anymore.Once Sarah left alone after asking me to accompany her, I rushed to the hospital. I didn't want to disturb her with my present but I couldn't leave her alone.Earlier, When I saw her, curled up in pain,

Xavier clenched his jaws and lowered his gaze, " Can... Can I just be your boyfriend for a few weeks? Just as courtesy!" His voice came out pleading. I was stunned for a second. It hit me harder than expected. " Haha! What? Like playing boyfriend and girlfriend game? We aren't kids anymore!" I forced myself to laugh to shake off the awkwardness. But deep down I saw my reflection on his words. He lowered his gaze, looking devastated. I felt a pang of guilt. I didn't want to make him feel like I disregarded and disrespected his feelings. He opened his mouth and then closed it. After waiting for a second, he finally spoke, " But dating you has always been my-!" “How about being my plus one for the business association party?” I said softly, watching his hopeful face begin to shift. “What?” Xavier blinked, stunned. “Not as a couple. Not as something more. Just two friends. One night. As closure—for you, and maybe even for me.” He looked down, fiddling with his keys again. “I

" Well~" Xavier chuckled when Knox reluctantly left with Sarah. His face was a bright shade of red when he looked at me if I was serious. I saw that raw pain in those eyes. But I couldn't hurt myself to protect him constantly. " I never thought you would one day tell him to leave! This is new!" He muttered, clearly shocked. He didn't witness me being so cold towards Knox before... " He is angry. How are you going to make up?" " We aren't kids anymore!" I sighed, brushing the imaginary dust off my lap." He got his priorities and I got mine!" Xavier stared at me for a while. I didn't know what he was thinking. But that look on his face would question you if you were forgetting to mention something important. " You know... It's not first time a solid friendship gets destroyed by a woman. Especially when it involves two people with opposite genders!" He said, his eyes meeting mine. He wasn't hiding the amusement in his tone. " Why are you saying that?" I asked, closing my
