Все главы The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate: Глава 1 - Глава 10

“We are here, ma’am.” Penny is pulled out of her thoughts as the taxi driver announced their arrival at the destination. She stopped fiddling with the necklace her mom had given her on her sixth birthday.“Here.” She passed the taxi fare to the driver before alighting from the cab. She thought it best to stop a couple of blocks from the building where the gala was being held.‘I may have a job to do but I don’t want my face plastered everywhere on the newspapers and blogs. Those media vultures are always eager to broadcast other people’s misfortune while they guffaw to their banks.’ She thought internally.She fiddled with the sleeves of her black fur coat where she was adorning a silk red dress underneath with an open back and took multiple breaths in as I let them out.It was always chilly in the city of *** at nights so she was glad to have something to keep her warm. “It is show time, Penny!” I chid myself and started walking into another episode of the death traps I am strapped i

Penny had experienced many confrontation regarding her job but it was the first time that a client had prioritized her safety.The woman drew in a sharp breath seeing his action, “Bastard! You have some nerve bringing another woman to her foundation.” She bellowed, panting after spewing her words. Her body continued to shake furiously.“Are you done?” Killian asked calmly.The woman widened her gaze at his response and moved her right hand.Unflinching, Killian continued in a threatening and dark voice, “I dare you, Vivian.”Even Penny was shaken. His words clearly communicated that no one dared to make a move against Killian King.The woman he called Vivian paused her hand in mid-air. “This foundation belongs to me as well. I have steered clear of it for so long, out of respect for her.”“Not anymore. No one gets to tell me what to do.” The woman gulped, cowered away from Killian as he walked closer to her. “Not even you.” He whispered menacingly in her ears.He signaled to some men

For a second, Killian thought Penny’s eyes would budge out of her eye sockets.Then, a look of disdain followed.“Cain, you wanted to see me.” Penny said as she passed by me and pretended not to see me.Her nerve!“Ms. Winters.” Freddy called out to her. He had been by my side the whole time. Penny snapped her gaze and looked at Freddy.Her expression changed to a delightful one in a lightning speed.“Ridiculous.” Killian sneered into the air. Still, she pretended not to see him and embraced Freddy right in front of me.’Her actions seem spiteful.“Mr. Luther! You are here!” She exclaimed strangely sincerely.Freddy answered with the same enthusiasm, “Yes, I am.” Killian cleared his throat. “I am with Killian.” He quickly corrected.“Nice seeing you, Mr. Luther.” Penny said and still refused to acknowledge Killian. Killian glared in her direction.Penny could feel his gaze boring into her skull. Unable to shake it off, she turned around with a glare of her own, “What do you want, Mr.

The figure pulled the hood back to reveal Drew. He pulled Penny into a hug.Penny felt uncomfortable hugging Drew so she pushed him away slightly but he refused to let go completely.“How did you find me?” Penny asked, concerned.“You wouldn’t answer my calls. Had to come here because you love your volunteering.” Drew explained, quoting the last word with his fingers.“What do you want, Drew?” Penny asked, ready to get it over with.Drew grinned while holding her hand, “Come on, Babe. Still mad at me?”Penny gave no response. “Hey, it was just that one time. You have to forgive me. I wanted you, Penny but you never cared give me what I want. Now, we can fix that.” Drew said.“Drew. I don’t give a damn about what you want, okay? If you are done, get the hell out of here and never come back.” Penny retorted, feeling disgusted with his excuse.“No, babe.” Drew refused with a shake of his head. “I held out for 3 years. You owe it to me.” His hold on her wrist tightened.“I owe you nothing

Penny was sleeping when her phone started ringing violently. She leapt out of her bed to shut down the annoying device but the caller ID made her pause.Killian King?When did he save his contact on my phone? “Hello?” She gingerly put the phone to her ear.“It’s Monday.” His deep voice came on.Penny blinked unable to connect the dots.Killian was quiet for a couple of seconds, “Don’t tell me you forgot about the appointment.”She rushed over to the bathroom with the phone in between her ear and shoulder. “No. Not at all.”“Tell me where you live. I will send my driver to get you.” Killian demanded.She was pressing some toothpaste on her brush. “I will meet you at the hospital. Just tell me where.”Seeing that she would be stubborn, he gave her the address of the hospital. She stiffened at the address.That is the same hospital my brother was admitted.That posed some major problem for her. She proceeded to shower in lightning speed and threw on a big shirt with a pair of cargo pant
