The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 123- Your Guts Are Always Right
Penelope could only watch the scene in shock.Killian held Bethany to himself and comforted her. Then, he turned around to look at Penelope. Penelope quickly averted her gaze to the floor. She was scared to see his reaction.Bethany continued to sob, “I don’t know what I did to her. S-she tried to kill me twice. K-killian.”Killian ran his hand up and down her back, “Heyy… You will be fine.” She hid her face in the crook of his neck, smiling devilishly.I can’t wait for him to dispose of you now, Penelope.Penelope couldn’t stay in there anymore so she waited outside, knowing he would scold her. She had planned to just take in, without making an attempt to convince him otherwise.First, Bethany refused her help and chose to fall down the stairs. Then, she had implicated her by making it seem like she was trying to snuff the life out of her with a pillow.All she wanted to do was make peace but each attempt was digging a shallow grave for her.The door to Bethany’s room was shut hard,
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 124- Blackmails
Penelope woke in Charles’ car. She was groggy and still felt dizzy. Her body became alert and sprang up, almost hitting her head on the roof of the car.“Where am I?” She asked, looking around and found herself nowhere familiar.Charles kept his gazed focused ahead. “You slept off. Didn’t want to disturb you. Give me your address so I can take you home.” His tone was serious and detached with a little sense of urgency as his fingers tapped impatiently on the steering wheel.“How did I get in here?” She inquired. Her head ached. The last thing she remembered was having a bottle of water in the café.“You fell asleep.” He responded in a monotone. His response was terse.Something about the aura that emanated from him scared her. She moved closer to the door, trying to create some space from him no matter how little. She couldn’t remember anything. She sensed something had happened before she was moved into the car but nothing flashed in her mind.Absentmindedly, she provided an address
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 125- Conjugal Departure
“Killian… P-please.” She pleaded quietly.“Get the hell out of my house!” He bellowed, making her jump out of fright.Penelope turned and left, knowing he wouldn’t care about anything she had to say to defend herself.She dropped the photographs onto her bed when she reached her bedroom and pulled out her phone to dial Nathan’s number. Her legs shook within the short distance from the living area to her room.It rang for a couple of seconds. “Penny? Are you okay?”She hadn’t noticed the she was sobbing out loud. “Yeahh…” Her throat felt closed up so she cleared her throat. “Yeah… Uhm… Can you give me a ride?”Nathan didn’t bother to ask questions. “Give me 20 minutes.”Penelope packed a few stuffs. Everything fitted into a bag. All she packed was all she brought in from her old house. She didn’t touch any of the luxurious clothes, shoes or bags.“I will make it easy for you.” Pamela spoke, grinning widely. She had overheard their conversation. She grabbed Penelope’s bag and hurled it
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 126- The Revelation I
Killian sat straighter in his chair. His mind was still reeling about having a twin.“The babies… we discovered that they were fertilized traditionally.” She informed him.“What do you mean?”“She got pregnant traditionally. The foetus didn’t form outside but inside her uterus.” Seeing that Killian still looked confused, she spelt it out. “My guess is that she had unprotected sex before the last insemination but the dates were too close and the foetus were too small so it was hard to read.”“Does that mean….?”Killian was speechless for a couple of minutes.“What I am saying is that the babies might not be yours. I-”“They are mine.” Killian cut in. “Uhm… Thank you, Melissa. But I have to go now.” He left her office and made a beeline towards his car.In the car, his mind was in turmoil. He stared out to see that a cloud had formed. Someone up there was definitely punishing him for his misdeeds.The past few months… he had discovered how unfair he had treated Penelope without giving h

Killian had just returned to the manor. He went to his study where someone awaited him.“Where were you?” Bethany asked, looking stoically. She whirled around when she did not get any response. “Where the hell were you, Killian?”“None of your business, Beth.” He retorted sharply and took off his suit to hang in the corner of his study before proceeding to sit behind his desk.“On the contrary, it is every bit of my business. You are my husband! Yet, you wallow around become of some surrogate. She is simply meant to bring our children to the world and be discarded right after!” She yelled.If Bethany ever found out the truth about the children, she would be livid. He had no idea what plan she would scheme.“The same child you wanted to make sure never saw the light of this world?” He countered coldly.Bethany’s body froze on the spot. “W-what?” Her voice shook, betraying her.“Don’t feign ignorance.” He snapped, irritated with her feigning innocence.“B-but I have no idea what you are
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 128- The Revelation III
It had been a month since Bethany disappeared from the manor and no one could tell her whereabouts. Killian’s security tried so hard but nothing. Even Freddy’s team couldn’t crack her location down.Anyone would think she had disappeared off the surface of the earth. The thought of her being anywhere in the world was scary. She was an unhinged woman on the look. What could she be up to?“Dude! You are about to be a father! How do you feel?” Freddy smacked him playfully. He had just brought Penelope to the hospital after her water broke. His boys joined him soon after. Francine and Hailey came as well. Ms. B said she wouldn’t miss it for anything.But how did he truly feel? To be honest, he felt fucking great. There couldn’t be any more perfect woman to bring his children to this world. Ever since the discovery, he was barely absent. At one point, he packed a few stuffs and moved in with Penelope.His grin told them all they needed to know.The nurses came in and out, waiting for her t

“How long have you know?” She asked quietly with her gaze fixated on his chest.“A little over a month.” He answered, hoping to catch her gaze to express how remorseful he felt.She gave a nod.Two hours passed and Penelope hadn’t uttered a word. All she did was go into her room and slammed the door hard, shaking the entire condo.Bryan never relented on his murderous stares. “How could you hide something like this from her?” He pushed aside the inner voice in his head that called him out as a hypocrite.“It is far too complicated.” He spoke dryly.“Not really. You intended to hide it from her all along.” He countered.Killian let out a sigh. “Don’t have time for this. I just want them back.” He retorted impatiently. His phone rang.“You found her?” He asked as soon as he confirmed that it was Freddy calling.“Yes… I believe she is on the road. It is best for the police to handle this.” Freddy advised. He never liked Bethany but he had no idea how deranged she was to kidnap babies.“S
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 130- Who is the Mother?
“What? No…” Penelope said, coming forward and stood next to Killian. “This is an obvious case of abduction. It has nothing to do with me.”A coy smile was plastered on Bethany’s face. “On the contrary, it has everything to do with you.” She retorted. “He wasn’t supposed to move on from me. But he did when he met you. I could no longer stay on the side lines, out of the limelight. I am the true Mrs. King and no one will take that away from me.”“Beth… No one is taking your place. Just give the babies to me. You can’t just take them away.” Killian tried to plead with her.A frown was etched across Bethany’s face. “Why can’t I? They are mine as well, aren’t they?”Killian and Penelope exchanged a wary glance.She caught the exchange between the two of them so she repeated her question, “Are they not?”“ARE THEY NOT?!” She shouted.“O-of course, they are yours. Just give them to me.” Killian lied through his teeth.Bethany was silent for a few seconds. “You hesitated.” She spoke quietly.

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.

"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

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
