The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 101- Fading into Nothingness
“Well, that went well…” Freddy spoke on their way back to his apartment. He was behind the wheels. His intention was to diffuse the air and break the silence that had long been drawn since they left the Villa.Francine sighed, “Right…. Anyway, I am sorry you had to witness all of that.” She spoke quietly.“Drama can’t be avoided when it comes to families. I think the good part is that we have your grandfather’s blessing from now on.” Freddy said, trying to cheer her up.Francine gave a nod, “True. I still can’t decipher what made him change his mind.” She expressed her suspicions.“No need worrying about that anymore. Should we get dinner?” He asked with the aim of stirring her thoughts away from her suspicions.“Yes… Pleeeasse… I am starving right now.” She agreed. Her stomach growled ferociously at that moment, making the both of them laugh out loud in the car.***Killian sat in his chair in the study. He dialed Detective Boyle’s number but the call never connected. He had been MIA
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 102- Schemes and Tantrums
“Ahhhhhh!!!” Bethany screamed after she returned from her therapy session with Doctor Payne. Her appointment had been fixed on the first day of the weekday. She furiously slammed the door hard. The woman didn’t fail to grill to talk about the trauma she experienced in the custody of her supposed abductors. “Can you believe her?” She continued to vent out in her room. Vivian groaned out from her sleep, “What? Who?” She held a hand to her head which throbbed in pain. “That insufferable woman. I bet she must be amused right now.” She paced in the room back and forth. “Will you calm down? You are making me dizzy.” She complained while trying to keep her eyes open. “Don’t tell me to calm down!” She lashed out at her mother. “What were you even doing? Sleeping? When we have a mission to accomplish in this house?” Her eyes blazed with fury. She walked towards a flower pot in the corner of her room to pick it up. She aimed it right at the top of her mother’s head. The pot crashed behind V
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 103- Souls with Devious Intentions
Penelope had just finished taking her bath and straightening her hair. She heard some knocks on the door. She walked towards the door and opened it.If she remembered right, her name was Pamela.It was one of the maids she had seen around the manor.“Morning, Ms. Winters. Your presence has been summoned by Mrs. King.” Pamela delivered the message from Bethany. She had been chosen by Bethany by herself. She intended to serve her to her best abilities since she was the true woman of the manor.Penelope raised her brow skeptically, “Uh… Why?”“You will find out from her, ma’am.” Pamela retorted.Penelope’s suspicion grew. Why would she want to see her? She had ensured that she didn’t leave her room unless to take a walk in the garden or visit fur ball. Not even once had she crossed paths with either Killian or Bethany. But Vivian had made it her mission to follow her almost everywhere.“All right. Give me a minute.” She informed Pamela. Penelope changed into a pair of black shorts and a
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 104- Voices in thy Head
“Thank you, Ms. B.” Bethany chirped sweetly in appreciation. Ms. B simply gave a node and excused herself from their midst. The tension at the area didn’t go unnoticed by her. Killian sat at the head of the table with Bethany sitting right next to him in a sheer lacy outfit that left nothing to imagination. She pulled her hair into a ponytail, showing off her slender neck with a diamond neckpiece. Vivian had been instructed to stay put in the room even though she longed to join them for dinner. “I am so glad that you could join us tonight.” Bethany spoke, cutting through the air. Killian had looked away from his plate. Same as Penelope who looked at anything but the two people sitting opposite her. She had ensured to seat far away from them purposely. “Glad to be invited.” She said, not sparing her a glance. “Baby, I am so glad you hired her so you have live on with a piece of me.” Bethany spoke sweetly, “You are so sweet for that.” Penelope heard a loud smooching sound but didn
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 105- The arrival of uninvited guests
“It worked!” Bethany thought as she listened to them while hiding behind a pillar. She watched Penelope abruptly leave the table and storm out of the place. She couldn’t care any less about where she was headed to. “Erhm… Where is Ms. Winters?” Bethany pretended to sound worried, “Did something happen in my absence?” She sat in her previous seat. Killian looked dismayed. “No… It is nothing. Thought you went to get some salt?” He asked with the raise of his brow. “Oh… Yeahh… Then, I remembered that there was one here after all. It simply slipped my mind.” She said and tried not to sound suspicious. “I will be in my study.” Killian said gruffly and stood up to leave. Alerted, Bethan quickly grabbed his arm, “What? Won’t you spend some more time with me?” “There are some work I must catch up with, Beth. Besides, you said you needed more time. This is me giving you the time.” He told her. Her gaze darted everywhere in search of what to say. “That is with the therapist. B…but you are
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 106- From the Queen's country
“These people claimed that you requested for them.” A man spoke out confidently. He was certain that the two men would be utterly embarrassed. He knew Mrs. King before the crash. Her taste for luxury was well known by everyone in the manor. Of course, she wouldn’t settle for a low class beauty company. She glared at the two of them and shined her teeth with a dazzling smile, “Yes… Yes, I did. It is a start-up business that I saw on social media. It wouldn’t hurt to be supportive, right?” They were all gobsmacked. Did she just confirm it? Everyone knew she accepted nothing subpar and cheap. “Let them in.” She added. They cleared their throat and allowed them entry into the manor. When they arrived in her room, Bethany turned around quickly to smack Dean on the face as soon as the door was shut. He dropped the beauty tools and feigned his face in, not out of pain but in wonder. “Have you both lost your minds?” She whisper-yelled and ran to the curtains to shut it. “You had just a job

The woman emptied the bin in the corner of her room and threw her sundress in it. “Uhm… That isn’t trash.” Penelope spoke out. “You still want this? Looks ruined to me.” The woman spoke out but her voice was muffled due to the nose mask. Penelope thought about it. She had enough to wear back at the manor and at her apartment. She shrugged and chose to let it go. Besides, cleaner had thrown is into the bin. She left the restroom to join Francine and Charles. “Wow! Girl! The colour looks great on you.” Francine complimented. “You have got some taste.” She added, looking pointedly at Charles. “I work in the fashion world.” Charles said tersely. Penelope gave a nod in understand. That would explain how he got his size perfectly. “If it isn’t too much hassle, maybe we could grab a cup of coffee some time?” Charles inquired with a wide grin. “Ooooh… Someone has got a date?” Francine gave her friend a playful jab on the ribs. “Cut it out.” Penelope chided her friend through her teet
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 108- Mayday, Mayday
Penelope couldn’t believe the sight before. She watched Bethany prance in a ridiculous wide yellow dress. “My love!” She exclaimed for everyone to here and bumped Penelope out of the way to cement herself next to Killian.Then, the roar of gossip began.“What a slut!”“She wanted another woman’s husband!”“Wow! To think I was jealous of her…”“She is despicable. Thank goodness she didn’t die. That gold-digger would have snatched Killian for herself!”They all sneered and stared at her with a look of contempt. Her eyes stung. She blinked to will back the tears that threatened to spill.They all looked at her like she was a horrible being. “See? Now, she is just an another shameless mistress.” Another one spoke out loud amidst the murmurs.Penelope wrapped her arms around herself. She suddenly felt ashamed of herself. Killian didn’t even bother to look at her. Instead, he wrapped his arm around Bethany with keeping a neutral gaze.“There you are. Been looking for you.” Nathan arrived a

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. They had ben rebelling against her since she mentioned that they would be moving to the city. But Max had given her a condition- to move in with Killian.They wanted to spend as much time with her and Killian as well. The thought stressed her out because it further added more pressure on her decision making.“Come on, Max! Fran!” She called outside and was on the verge of giving up when she heard some movement nearby. There was a store room where she kept the supplies.“Max? Come out here!” She ordered sternly. He came out in slow steps with Fran in tow.“Really? Both of you are unbelievable. I am the parent here! As much as I allow you some freedom doesn’t mean you should undermine my authoriti
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 146- Revenge Tour Continues
Revenge never felt this sweet and bittersweet.It had been a couple of days since Jared King trended for the fraud he was. His doctor who forged a report of his ailment had his license revoked as well. So, yeah… Revenge tour was bittersweet as many people lost their jobs, sources of income all to rebuild a system that had fallen into the hands of power-drunk men.Penelope took it upon herself to visit some people before she returned to the countryside. 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. She imagined the PA shook her head when she heard no response. “Let them in.” He gave his permission.Penelope waited for the PA to come out to accompany her in.“Nathan.” She called as soon as she set foot into his office. He raised his head slowly. A glimmer of light shined in his eyes at the appearance of Penelope.“Penny.” He whispered, almost disbelievi
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 145- Revenge Tour
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
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 144- We meet Again, Father
"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 141- Where We First Met
“Stay in here and don’t leave the car, Penny.” John warned sternly, debating on whether he should turn back home because of the danger he might be putting his daughter in.

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
