The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 0010
Penelope could feel her being carried but the blow to her head made her unable to open her eyes. A familiar woody scent swarmed her nostrils.Had he come to save her? She lost unconsciousness again, knowing that she was in safe hands.***“When will she wake up?” Killian asked, staring steely at the doctor.“S-soon.” The doctor sputtered, unable to hold Killian’s gaze.The door opened to reveal a nurse, “Dr. Mace! You are needed in the OR.” The doctor scurried out of the room to follow the nurse.He felt relieved to be out of the same room with Killian.Killian stared at Penelope’s body on the bed. Had he gone too far? He ran his right hand through his hair before pulling out his phone to text a number.“Find him.”***Two days later…Penelope’s eyes fluttered open slowly. She took in her surroundings. The walls were white and the light was blindly. The intensity made her groan as she squinted her eyes.“Light. The light.” She whispered.Not a second later, the light was turned off.

“Penny! Where have you been?” Bryan asked sternly as soon as Penelope stepped through the doorway.Penelope stopped in her tracks. She had quickly rushed over to check up on him before following Ms. Flores to Killian’s manor. Ms. Flores insisted on going with her but she pleaded with her to stay outside.“Uh… I had some work to do.” She responded with a smile sheepishly.Technically, it wasn’t a lie.His gaze travelled from her head to toe. She had worn a beanie over her head so she wouldn’t answer his barrel of questions.“What are you wearing?” Bryan asked. The clothes were totally not my style. I preferred baggy and casual clothes. Not the black fitted jumpsuit with a pair of heels. She only dressed exotic to work.God forbade he saw the new iPhone 15 bought for her.“I borrowed it from a friend.” Penny lied.He definitely didn’t buy it but said nothing. She spent some minutes with him before she got ready to leave. “Bryan. Please, don’t give up hope. You will be out of here soon.

Killian informed his pilot of sudden need to fly to Europe. Van had resumed to his position from Max so he drove him to his port. “Good to have you back, Van.” Killian welcomed. He kept up the news and updates from his team regarding the fire outbreak in one of his factories overseas. “Good to be back, boss.” Van greeted back. Van was an older and more experienced driver. Right from when he went to high school, he had been Killian’s driver and sometimes confidant. “I’ll appreciate a heads up next time regarding the rookie.” Killian said lowly. Van bit his lips tightly. He just wanted to help the poor bloke. “I got him in because he needed help with some money. I am sorry, Mr. King.” He explained. “Run it by me next time.” Killian instructed. While Killian gave him the free reign in employing the drivers and some household staffs, Killian had the supreme authority. “Roger that, boss!” He acquiesced. They arrive at his port with the pilot waiting for him. Killian wasn’t thrille

Killian couldn’t believe the nerve of Penelope when he found her in the forbidden room. He had engraved it into everyone’s memory never to enter her room.“K-Killi-” Penelope stammered seeing how he marched towards her with intent. He grabbed her by the arm roughly and dragged her out of the room.His nails dug into her flesh, making her yelp in pain. “You are hurting me, Killian!” She shouted.Hailey and Ms. B could only watch the scene unfold before them as they were peeping through a window.Killian was deaf to her cries of pain. “WHY DID YOU GO IN THERE?!” He roared as he yanked the fur coat off Penelope without mining her tangled elbow in it.For the first time, Penelope was scared of him, especially with the incensed gaze. “P-please.” She pleaded.“THAT ROOM IS FORBIDDEN.” He growled in her ears making close her eyes and break into sobs. No one had been in the room since his wife’s death. Not even Killian.He couldn’t bear the thought of her death. So, he kept the room intact wi
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 0014: Where is Ms. Winters?
It had been excruciating 48 hours for Killian.“S-sir! W-w can’t find her.” One of the men on his security team reported the bad news while catching the beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead.Killian calmly stood up from his chair in the study. “You can’t find her?” He asked, chuckling darkly.The man trembled under his ferocious glare. Others could only drop their heads in shame.He turned around and grabbed the vase on his table and lunged it in his direction. The man held his ear in pain as the vase grazed him. “You can’t fucking find her?! A measly little woman in San Francisco?”“You get paid for NOTHING!” He roared. “GET OUT! NOW! AND, DON’T RETURN UNTIL YOU FIND HER!”They all fleeted out in fear. Freddy who had been watching his childhood friend finally spoke.“She will be found.” He said, trying to calm him down.“But when? How could she just disappear without a trace?” Killian wondered and he ran his hand through his already dishevelled hair. “Where is Ms. Winters?”
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 015- Meet the furball
What the hell is he doing here?She was already thinking of how else to get money for her brother’s surgery. Her disappearance from the hospital was spurred when she saw the bruise on her neck.I didn’t sign up my life along with my womb for money.He watched some other men hurdle around him out of nowhere. The hell? How long had he been watching her?But it was only Killian marching towards Penelope with intent, ditching the bodyguards. Penelope remained seated, unbothered.Killian got to where she was seated. “We need to talk.”The cat barred its teeth and claws at him when he spoke. Though it didn’t deter Killian, Penelope felt good about it. She wasn’t the only one that loathed his presence.Killian, however, maintained a safe distance from the cat as his nose began to itch.Seeing Penelope didn’t even spare him a glance, he tried again.“Please, Ms. Winters.” He said, lowering his voice. The words were foreign to him. If Jared saw him right then, he would deem Killian a weakling.

“Mr. King!” Ms. B gasped in horror when she saw him. Hailey stifled her giggles at the sight that beheld them.“What happened to you?” She asked, bewildered while she chided Hailey for mocking their employer.His face was red and bloated. His bodyguards felt completely useless as there was no physical threat and could only watch their boss helplessly as they made their way back to the manor.‘Meeoww’Her gaze travelled down his arms to see a cat. It explained it.“Hailey! Grab the cat from Mr. King. He is experiencing an allergy reaction.” Ms. B ordered.Hailey gasped in horror and quickly pried the cat from his arms. There were some tiny claw marks on his forearm.“How did you get a cat?” Ms. B asked curiously, especially because it looked like a stray cat.“Bring me the first aid kit and feed the cat.” Ms. B ordered as she lead Killian away from the entrance.“The she-devil gave it to me.” He answered, absentmindedly.When Hailey returned, she grabbed the kit from her and dismissed

Killian sat on the bed in his bedroom. His phone rang buzzed on the bedside table. So he adjusted his position on the bed to retrieve his phone.“Good morning, Bestie!” Detective Boyles chirped on the phone as soon as answered the call.“Arghh…” Killian grunted at his excited tone. He wished he hadn’t given the detective his number but something told him that he would find a way to retrieve it.Killian got out of the bed and stepped out of his room to make himself coffee.“Boyles. What do you want?” He preferred cutting right to the chase.“We got your culprit. It was a couple of your workers. The protest was apparently a work.” He stated.That arrested his attention as he reached the kitchen where he met Penelope brewing coffee with her back turned towards him.He could not help his traveling eyes that took their sweet time enjoying the way her nightie shaped her voluptuous behind. She would make a good view being spread over the kitchen counter, he thought. His sleeping junior stirr

The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 147- Starting Out again in the City
“Max! Fran! Come out!” Penelope screamed at the top of her lungs, wondering where they had hidden. It was their moving day. The boxes had been tapped, packed and waiting for the moving truck.She tried again and went to the back exit to look for them. The kids were testing her patience lately.

One of those people was Nathan Hoffman.“You have a visitor.” She heard his PA relay to him.“Was there an appointment?” She heard him ask in a tired voice. Her heart bled for him.

He raised his head slowly. A glimmer of light shined in his eyes at the appearance of Penelope.“Penny.” He whispered, almost disbelievi

His eyes looked like they had seen a ghost. He was right. Everything he held dearly would soon become a ghost of his imagination. "T-thank you all for spending today with this old man." He concluded his speech and left the center stage. People began laughing, smiling and toasting to him. A clip played in the background for everyone to see. It was a collage of photos with music attached to it. Stanley smiled so much, his cheeks burned. Slowly, the pictures turned from pictures of his to pictures of the bruises he afflicted on Lola. Everyone gasped at the gory pictures, covering their mouths at the sheer horror of those images. Soon after, names from the black lists were called. Several funds of the government that was diverted. Stanley gasped, shaking his head disbelievingly. "No! None of this is true." He tried to plead with his guests who had adored him some minutes ago, now turned their backs on him.No one listened. People started to leave the parties because soon after, siren

"What have we got?" Killian asked.Boyles held a cigar in between his lips as he took a deep long drag."A lot. Depends on where you want us start." He spoke after putting the smoke in the air. His feet casually crossed over each other on her work desk. She had a study in a makeshift basement.It was no news that Boyles knew about where she was, even though she never revealed where she was writing from in any of her letters.He was the one that anonymously tipped Killian about her whereabouts. They knew because he confessed the minute he set foot into her household, right before plumping into the chair in front of her desk.He was always an enigma thag no one could decipher."His offshore accounts. We must look into it. Several events had been hosted, especially art works which we know he couldn't give the middle finger about. Most of them are usually sent to another location." Killian inquired, looking at the spread papers and files before him."I will have my men on it. I got you an

Penelope woke up to the light streaming down softly on her face. She groaned a little due to the sudden intrusion on her vision she opens her eyes.She adjusted her position and met a wall behind her. Her hand darted to the back to feign the object."Careful, love. Unless you want to stir him awake for another round. I don't mind, though." His voice vibrated against her neck, turning on very early in the morning.She bit her lips and retracted her hand. As tempting as his offer was, she couldn't even summon the strength. The previous night was a tryst that left her moaning her lungs out and causing her to be sore down there.If she somehow made it out of her bed, she would claim victory. The night was sweet, slow and rough. Everything she wanted and desired. She clamper he thighs shut while reminiscing."Talk to me. What are you thinking about?" Killian asked, slipping his hand around her waist and pulled her flush to his front, not condoning any space between them. He let out a sigh
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 142- Maybe We Might Have A Chance
Killian didn’t hold back on having fun with Max and Fran, especially not on his Black Gold credit card. But he didn’t mind. Anything to see the joy on their faces, he was willing and ready to do it.Sometime in the evening after having lunch with the kids, Max asked, “Okay, Dad. Why are you sulking? Don’t you like spending time with us?” Max inquired, dumping his fries on the plate and meeting his gaze.He turned away from the view of the buzzling locals outside the window, “Of course, I want to spend all the time I can get with you.” He spoke defensively.The two arched a brow, “Then, why are you sulking?” Max asked again.“I am not sulking.” He answered with a scowl on his face.Max and Fran leaned back at the same time, seemingly choreographed before concluding. “Sulking!”Killian let out a sigh.“Come on. Talk to us.” Fran spoke this time. She pushed her food away, grabbed the napkin to clean her hands and crossed her arms, expectantly.Max leaned back into his seat, waiting as we

The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 140- About Us
She looked down at their joined hands and looked back up at Killian. “One step at a time, remember?” She spoke and pulled her hand out of his. “The children are far more important right now.” She added and stood up from the couch. “Goodnight, Killian.” She whispered the last part.“Goodnight, Penelope.” He spoke in a low voice, feeling dejected at her rejection. Although, he half expected it but it didn’t lessen the ache he felt in his heart. He grabbed the comforter nearby and used it to cover himself after taking minimal clothing pieces off. That had been his bed for the past few days.The thought made him chuckle. How could a billionaire squeeze his length into a couch for days? Ms. Flores would have aneurysms if she ever saw him in that uncomfortable position. His bed was much more comfortable than the hard couch. He wondered why Penelope didn’t buy a more comfortable one when she easily could.Think of this as a means to an end, he tried to comfort himself internally.Just when h
