The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception My wife
Knox,"She is under stress. Please give her the company she needs to feel loved and cherished," the female psychiatrist stood up, leaving me and Sarah alone in her room.Earlier, when Mark informed me about her situation, I came here immediately. Because of my work commitments, I couldn't give her enough time. However, instead of seeing her unconscious or being examined, I was sent to her room with the female psychiatrist.At first, I didn't think much of it, but... the conversation went this way..."Mr. Silverfang, I understand that you trust your best friend and have given her the privilege of having your child. But as Ms. Sarah's fiancé, you should help her understand why you took such a drastic measure!"I took a glance at Sarah, who avoided eye contact. I thought I had had a fair conversation with her regarding the situation."Ms. Sarah has made it clear that she is uncomfortable around Ms. Violet Riverwood. Have you reconsidered your fiancée's emotions in this situation?" she ke

Knox,Practically, I was unaware of what I was labeling the relationship that had suddenly taken a turn between us. Although I hadn’t met her in the last ten months, I came to see her every day in secret. I watched the coldness in her grow—slowly, gradually—towards everyone around her.If someone had asked me what I thought about Violet, I could never imagine her as a romantic partner. Not because she wasn’t beautiful or someone that sparked desire. It was because… she was beyond reach.People call me ruthless, a dominating businessman who never bowed to defeat. But that wasn’t true.Violet was the true example of dominance. She was everything a human wished they could become.She doesn’t fake. She doesn’t sugarcoat. She won’t pose in front of the camera to look perfect. She is the example of perfection itself.She never stammered, never hesitated, and never stopped doing what she truly wanted to do.I always wanted to reach her, walk beside her—whether as a man or a best friend. Eith

Knox,I was invited to the family dinner as Violet's husband, not as his best friend. I was supposed to set the boundaries to make sure we didn't feel conflicted but... I couldn't bring myself to do it.So I decided to talk to Violet instead, since she knew how to draw a line with her family. I didn’t want to disappoint them or make them upset regarding the matter."Vio!" I knocked on the door. It still felt so weird to knock when we used to walk in without caring about anything."Come in!" she shouted from her room."What are you doing? Aren’t we going to your parents’ house?" I asked, walking in. A gentle scent hit my nostrils when the wind brushed past my face."I am almost ready!" she said in her usual calm tone, twisting her hair into a messy bun.I scanned her — sweatpants, a purse, no makeup. She was never enthusiastic about having dinner with her family. But I thought this dinner was supposed to celebrate our temporary wedding. That’s what they said in their messages."Ready?

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

"Tell me, are you here knowing that they wanted to screw me up?" I asked, my voice icy.Mrs. Silverfang looked nervous and glanced away like a thief who couldn’t explain why he was stealing.However, Mr. Silverfang stepped ahead with an apologetic smile. "I think she just said that out of respect for your parents. Please don’t get upset. I apologize on her behalf."Mr. Silverfang, who had the same personality as Knox, knew he couldn’t win against me. No—nobody could, because I was the one in control here.Still, I didn’t feel calm. I felt eerily frustrated, as if after being ignored by Knox for a whole year, this was the final straw they had prepared to break me.They knew I wasn’t like some pathetic people who would act like a doormat and give away everything. Moon Tears was my creation. I had built it with my love and time."It’s always like this, isn’t it?" I asked, locking eyes with Mr. Silverfang."For the last ten years, has anyone asked me how I was doing? Has anyone explained

"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
最終更新日 : 2025-04-23The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception She has changed
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

Knox,I lost control."Shut up!" I roared, slamming him against the chair, gun against his temple. "She is not part of this madness! She hates crime. She faints at the sight of blood. She’s terrified of the dark. She’s not like us. She never will be!"My pulse thundered. My hands shook."I will protect her. From people like you. From everyone. Not even my fucking grandfather can touch her. I will kill anyone who comes near her. She’s mine. Mine to protect.""Boss," Mark’s voice was cautious. "Let go."I stepped back, breath ragged. The man slumped, face purple. I had nearly killed him.I couldn’t believe it. Violet wasn’t like us. She was light in the middle of my nightmare. I had shielded her from this world with blood and lies. Now someone dared say she was behind it?No. It had to be my grandfather. That old monster had always wanted control. And he knew my weakness—her. She had been using her to control me. Not fucking anymore. Of course he’d use her to manipulate me. I would kil
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception The dark side of his
Knox,Work on the weekend?Violet didn’t even blink. Didn’t question it, didn’t complain. Either she didn’t hear me—or worse, she didn’t care anymore. And that stung deeper than any bullet I’d ever taken.Each day, I watched her drift further away. And it was killing me. She didn’t fight. She didn’t cry. She didn’t get angry. She just… shut down. Like I meant nothing. Like we meant nothing. And for a man like me, silence was more violent than screams."Boss."Mark’s voice echoed through the underground chamber. He held a file in one hand, a laptop and phone in the other, face taut with urgency."They caught the rat. One of our buildings. You need to see him."He handed me the devices. Foreign. Not ours. "Found these with him. IT says he was siphoning data. Trying to steal our internal protocols."A smirk pulled at the corner of my lips."A man with a steel heart had the balls to crawl into my territory? Brave. But fucking stupid." I stood, adjusting my cufflinks. "Let’s pay him a visi
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception A deal
I froze. A flicker of something stirred in my chest—something sharp, unwelcome. She smirked and leaned back, watching me like a hawk. Her eyes searched for cracks, but I quickly masked it. Expressionless. As always.Still... I froze. Knox likes me? That was laughable. He didn't even see me as a woman. “What makes you think that, Ms. Sarah? Everyone knows Knox likes me. I’m his—”“Romantically.” She cut in..Her smirk deepened.I felt my chest tightening. It would explode anytime. But I knew what I needed to do. She was trying to push my button. And I would show her that I wasn't a weakling like her, “Hah. Are you delusional? If he loved me, he would be with me. Not you, Ms. Sarah.”“You don’t believe me? Fine. But what about you?”This time I straightened my back. I had planned to treat her respectfully since she came to talk business. But now she was testing my patience.“Do you think you’d be sitting here if I loved him? I don’t share—”“No need to lie to me about it,” she smirked.
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception It's non-negotiable
Violet,My grandma, bless her soul, used to say—never provoke a soul if you can’t handle the outcome. Always stay humble with people who are honest, and stay quiet when you don’t want to reveal yourself to those you don’t trust.Sarah—this woman—I didn’t hate her at first. Not when Knox told me he broke our promises and got engaged. Not even when we first met. I actually pitied her. She lost everything. She didn’t even have the ability to get pregnant.I didn’t find any reason to hate her. I was envious of her. I had everything the world could offer—but she had the one thing I wanted most. And I'd trade it all, every last piece of it, just to have what she did..I thought she was lucky. She got my man.However, she didn’t think of me the way she should have. The way I would’ve blessed her—with my whole heart and a very expensive wedding gift.Too bad she thought she needed to compete with me for someone she already had.What a stupid girl.After she asked to talk, we came back home.

The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Let's talk
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 Selling Body?
Gisele,My mind was spiraling when that woman appeared before me. She was smug, her attitude arrogant—like she was looking down on me.When she sat down on the bench right in front of me, I was dumbfounded. It was as if she was enjoying my misery.She was rich, holding a black card like it was disposable, flaunting her wealth while I was ready to die for my son.When she asked me to give her what I considered my most valuable possession in exchange for my son's life, I handed her the most sentimental, most important thing I had—the ring my fiancé gave me the day before our son, Alex, was born. That same day, his father, my fiancé, died in a crash.I had never met such an arrogant and cruel woman. I thought she was mocking me—trying to show me I couldn’t do anything for my son. Not even the most precious thing my fiancé left behind mattered to her.She watched me cry like I was performing some tragic act that intrigued her. Her eyes never left me, but held an emotion so complex, it fel
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception A decision that changes life
Violet,I opened my eyes, finding myself lying in the hospital bed. Saturday was over, and now Sunday would end with this unwanted stuff.However, for a second, I looked around, wishing someone would be here. But nobody was. The tranquility of the room felt like a slap on my face.It reminded me of that night when I was lying on the bed with a knife in my back and no one around.Taking a deep breath, pushing those unwanted memories aside, I grabbed my phone to check if there was anything important. I didn't have anything to do at this hour.But the moment I turned my phone on, the flood of messages made me drop it. It rattled for a second before I turned off the vibration.But I regretted checking those messages."Hey! It's Mom. I heard you're hospitalized. Don't you think it's karma for humiliating the entire family?" — from my mother's number."How are you doing? I heard from Mom that you're at the hospital. I have surgery, so I won't be able to meet you. Be careful when you move ar
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Not a real woman
Sarah,I was breathless when I arrived at my parents' estate. For once, I didn't have time to pretend I was afraid of driving. After years of being an actress, I knew how to fake a breakdown—how to look shattered without feeling a thing. But now, with Violet, I didn’t have to act.She made me feel it for real.The servants greeted me as I entered, but I brushed past them without even trying to hide my irritation. I had no patience for their presence or their hollow smiles. My heels clicked sharply on the marble floor as I headed straight for the living room.That’s when I heard my father’s voice.“Twenty million in termination fees. It’s in the contract!” he shouted. His voice was rough—strained with disbelief.I slowed down, curiosity halting my steps.My mother sat next to him, her trembling hands fumbling through a stack of papers on the table. I watched her face drain of color as she read whatever was printed there.“Honey… did we act too quickly? It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have s
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Bankruptcy?
"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
