The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception It wasn't a mistake
A gentle pressure and warmth on my back made me open my eyes. I shot open my eyes when I realized that someone was actually touching my back. The room was dimly lit up, so I couldn't clearly understand the situation. My body stiffened. My eyes sharpened, thinking about someone invading my room. As I slowly turned my head towards the person, my attention gradually went straight to the mobile phone. And then Knox—he was sitting on the edge of the bed. His fingers were on my back, massaging it slowly like a professional. That moment, realization hit me. I had spent a night with Knox, breaking all the boundaries. My heart started pounding. My face burned when I realized that I spent the night with him. My first time, my first kiss and... I slowly looked at him again. His attention was on the phone. A video was playing. I narrowed my eyes to see it clearly. My eyes widened when I read the title. He was watching a video about what to do after having sex with a pregnant wife. I never
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception The day I lost myself
Violet,Ten years ago,On my birthday, the day started with the usual routine. Going to school, attending extra curriculums and then Knox throwing a surprise birthday party with my friends.I was so happy. That day I laughed like a teenage girl who was happy despite being extremely neglected by her parents.Grandma sent a car as a gift although I was barely having time to learn how to drive since I was busy with early admission in one of the best universities with Knox.At the evening,I walked into the house. My parents promised me that they would make my birthday special after Grandma threatened them to stop sponsoring their luxurious vacation.Although at that time, I was taking their words seriously, I knew that I couldn't believe them. I loved my family. I loved how Mom would show off her long hair, saying a woman's hair is her identity.I admired them. Used to buy anything that would help hair growth but I was scammed. Grandma used to laugh, saying my brain was only for business
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception A scheme
Mr. Riverwood,Earlier at noon,“Boss, the HR is denying our access through the recent projects without the CEO’s permission!” Robert, my loyal secretary, informed me, his voice clipped with urgency as he stepped into my office.I clenched my jaw, the vein on my temple throbbing. “What did you just say?” I asked slowly, barely able to keep my voice in check.“She said unless Violet gives the permission, nothing can be accessed. They’ve locked the entire system.”The pen in my hand cracked under the pressure of my grip.That ungrateful child. Ever since my mother’s death, Violet had turned into a power-hungry, self-righteous brat with no respect. Arrogant. Cold. And worst of all—smug.She was intoxicated by her newfound status. And now, she dared to block me from my own company?“Call her and tell her I need those files for tomorrow’s meeting,” I growled, heat rising in my chest like wildfire.“I tried. She’s not picking up,” Robert muttered hesitantly.My eyes darkened.“She isn’t res
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception The burning campfire
The embers flickered quietly, crackling as flies circled around the campfire. The scent of burnt wood clung to the breeze. We gathered around the flames, silent in thought, our drinks in hand. While I sipped on my apple juice, my eyes fell on Knox. He was drinking too much again — his hand wrapped tightly around the beer can, the liquid disappearing faster than it should.I pulled the shawl tighter around my chest, my gaze fixed on him. Any man would envy what he had — tall, broad-shouldered, with a face carved by some careful hand of fate. God really hadn't missed a single detail with him. Handsome, intelligent, composed — he had it all. Everything, except... he wasn't mine.I reached out, my hand hovering between us. Just an arm's length away. But still, he felt so distant. So untouchable.Before my fingers could get closer, I pulled them back with a quiet sigh. I hadn't realized he was watching.His fingers caught my wrist gently but firmly. My breath hitched. His eyes were on me —
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Acknowledge the pain
After that confrontation with Knox, I had pretty much stopped hoping he would come around anytime soon. Especially after realizing that I didn't actually accept the child for his sake. I did it for myself. For my own selfish reasons. I needed an heir, and he opened the door for me. I wasn’t going to let that door close.Call me selfish, unbearable, or anything else. But I never do anything out of kindness. Kindness died the day I learned that one of my favorite servants had witnessed me being kidnapped… and did nothing. Just watched.Kindness died again when I found out that one of the students I had been sponsoring was working with my mother behind my back — plotting a scandal to ruin me.Kindness bled to death when I realized people took me for granted. Smiled to my face, but dug daggers into my back the moment I turned around.So I didn’t bother with kindness. Never again.As I sat in the office room, my eyes stayed glued to the ceiling. The chandelier swayed gently from above, moc
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Overbearing Version
"That’s what I’ve been asking myself for years. Who wanted me gone? And why like that? Starve and alone? As if their intention was to kill me slowly and painfully" I said, feeling the sharp pain crawling on my neck. The vein on my neck started throbbing. I never talked about it to anyone except my Grandmother. I didn't have any intention to talk about it to him either. But...Recalling those painful moments that I could each second, I found myself reliving those moments. His breath caught. I could see a flicker of rage and pain in his eyes, "And after that, your grandma took you to the UK?" He asked.I nodded. " I messaged her then. She found me in the hospital. I was unconscious. The knife still... still in me. She took one look at me and decided to take me away from everything."Knox's voice cracked. "Why didn’t you call your parents?"I let out a breathless laugh. There was no joy in it. "They didn’t even know I was missing. When I called, they said they were in Bali. Enjoying th
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception The secret
Violet"What happened to me ten years ago?"His question hit me like a slap across the face. It wasn't anger that rose inside me—it was fear. Cold, Quiet and Bone-deep fear. The fear when you knew once you got closer to it, you would find yourself trapped. My hands began to tremble before I even noticed. I folded them over my chest to hide it, to stop it. But my body had already betrayed me. My lungs pulled in a shallow breath that never reached my stomach, and I felt like the floor beneath me was about to collapse.He didn’t look accusing. Just... curious. But that made it worse.Because how do you explain a horror no one saw? A nightmare that came and went while the world kept spinning?I couldn’t avoid it anymore. We had decided to be honest. Although it was barely impossible to tell him exactly what happened, I was ready to say what I could say in surface. I looked into Knox’s eyes. They were calm, soft—but wide. Waiting. Expecting an answer.So I gave him one."I was kidnapped.
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Jealous of you
She tilted her head slightly, wearing that familiar frown she always had when something didn’t make sense to her."Mastermind? For what?" she asked, her brows narrowing in confusion.My fingers curled into a fist, my chest tightening. I shook my head, forcing a breath through my lungs. "Nothing. Just... let’s say you know about my family’s secret now—and that I’m involved in it. So... are you still okay with me?"She looked at me, almost unimpressed, like she had expected more. "I’ve been friends with you for years. Your family's been tangled in Mafia business for as long as I can remember. If that ever bothered me, I would’ve walked away a long time ago."Her words were unusually detailed. She wasn’t someone who explained herself much. One-word answers were her style. Was she worried I might spiral?"Thank you," I murmured, a weight slipping off my chest.She crossed her arms. "Anything else you’ve been hiding from me?"My lips pressed into a line. There were too many things. Things
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Inferiority
Knox,Two days ago,In the chairman's office of my company, I stood there, hanging my head while my father sat with his arms folded across the table, staring at me with that condescending gaze. He was holding a document—the name of the therapist Mark helped me hire was written on it."So, I met your therapist yesterday. I heard you were going through some mental health issues?" he asked, as if I had contracted a contagious disease or committed a sin.I remained silent, waiting for him to finish whatever speech he had prepared."Knox Silverfang, the CEO of the Silverfang Corporation wants to die because he’s scared of responsibility? How disgraceful!" he spat, standing up with his usual imposing presence."There are some fundamentals I taught you as a child. Silverfangs are not cowards. We rule the world. We don’t need therapists—some ignorant stranger playing with our minds. I forbid you from using excuses and demand you accept your destiny as KNOX SILVERFANG!"He emphasized my name w
