Violet,

In this family,

I am the black sheep. A daughter who was never perfect enough for their flawless family portrait. So, when Knox asked why I was wearing a sweatshirt and pants instead of dressing formally, I wanted to laugh.

Just ten months were enough for him to forget that I meant nothing to them. They would never hold a family gathering just for me.

At that moment, I had no idea I was about to receive the biggest slap in the face.

I was enjoying my ice cream while my parents were planning a trip—for their daughter. The kind of daughter they proudly acknowledged—like Sarah and Knox, obviously.

I didn’t feel anything toward them. Not anymore. Although, I felt a twist in my stomach when Knox remained silent about the trip and didn’t say no.

“So… everyone!” My mother’s voice was light and cheerful, as if she was about to announce the source of her true happiness.

Her eyes briefly met mine before her smile deepened. “I think you’ve all met my second daughter, Anna R

  • 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

  • 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

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

    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
