The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 132- Loss Of The Last Kin
Penelope's lips trembled as the blood in his chest began to spread. Bryan had taken the shot for her. Slowly, he began to fall to the ground. Penelope lunged forward to break his fall before falling on the ground. She cradled his heavy build to herself and put both hands on top of each other to put pressure on his chest."P... umpkin." Bryan choked out, struggling to keep his eyes open.Penelope shook her head. "N..no… save your strength." Tears had begun to roll down her eyes."Arghh...He groaned out in pain. "L-isten to me." He grabbed her hand with his. "I... I hid something from you."He gasped for breath and tightened his hold on Penelope, holding onto her like she was his lifeline. Blood had soaked her hands. "Y-your true f-father is..." He drew in a sharp breath. "Stanley Fords."A deafening silence ensued.The words didn't register in her mind for the first few seconds."What?" She blinked a couple of times simultaneously. Was he being delusional? "Stop spewing nonsense and c

Several nightmares had kept her awake. At one point, she preferred to stay awake with eyes swollen and red, compared to waking up alone in the middle of the night, screaming at the top of her lungs.She finally decided to stop mopping and grieving. There were issues to look into. Issues such as knowing her true biological father. It was Bryan’s last moment. His final breath. He could have chosen to say anything but he chose to tilt her world regarding her paternity.Stanley Ford.Stanley Ford was an influential man, running for the
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 134- Leave today to fight another day
“I would appreciate if you give some respect to my mother. She doesn’t deserve to be disrespected after her death.” Her voice rose. No one had any right to soil her mother’s name.“What? Can’t bear to hear the truth?” He scoffed. “Truly, you are your mother’s daughter. Took right after her and became a mistress as well.” He mocked.Penelope was livid. Words were at the tip of her tongue. She owned a copy of his secret- one she was certain would ruin his political aspirations. If she blew the whistle right then, it wouldn’t be effective. So, she kept a tight least on her tongue, biting her lips in the process.“That is the reason I am here. I want no part of your pretence family. I only want two things from you.” She stated.Stanley perked up at her words. He had thought she came to claim her rights in the family which she easily could because she was older than his children. Besides, none of them had interest in running the company. Their interest in shopping, travelling and squanderi
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 135- Playing Possum
Three years later...Penelope came out of her cottage house. She had taken residence on a countryside far away from civilization.The atmosphere was peaceful as she took a long drag of the air in, smiling in delight. Ever since her departure from San Francisco, her life had taken on a new different kind of piece.The neighbours were friendly to her. Although, she missed her friends greatly but prioritizing herself took precedence at that moment."Penny! What is on the menu tonight?!" An aged woman asked while passing by in front of her abode.Penelope smiled at the woman and responded, "Just wait and see."As soon as she got there, she started a restaurant. It was the sole restaurant in the vicinity. While the locals preferred cooking their own meals, they had attested to her cooking feeling like it was home meal. That was because she poured her heart into making delicious meals for the residents. She always made sure to put their requirements into consideration for young and old alik
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 136- Hello, Brother
"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here? How do you two know each other?" She asked, looking between Liam and Killian.The two looked away from each other and grumbled their responses."He is my brother." Liam answered."Half brother." Killian corrected.What?Penelope was stupefied by their responses. When she had first met Liam and he bore an uncanny resemblance to Killian, she had simply meant it as a compliment because of his looks. She had no idea they would be related, ever in this world. Maybe the next life.But how coincidental was that? Seeds of suspicion would have been planted deeply in the pit of her heart if she hadn't met Liam there and not the other way round."Uhm... That is quite the boatload of information to drop on me. I'll just go to the restaurant and open up for tonight." She muttered under her breath, suddenly feeling exhausted when her day had just simply begun.She left the men in her house and went through the backdoor to her restaurant. It was mo

"Because I want to make things right with you and your mother. I hurt her some years ago. Note that I didn't abandon you. She took you away and I don't blame her for doing so." Killian explained."We know the last bit. She told us." Fran slipped in."Oh..." Killian said, surprised."Yes. We were just wondering why it took you this long to come for us." Max spoke, sounding a little bit hurt.He crouched down to their heights and raised Max' chin up. "I am sorry it took me this long to come for you both. I owe you for a lifetime. Please, forgive me." He spoke softly to them. Fran sniffed, holding in her tears."Can we hug you?" Fran asked timidly shy.He gave a nod and the two jumped into his arms, wrapping their tiny arms around his neck. He welcomed their embrace and held onto them tightly, relishing in the warmth that spread to his heart.A comfortable silence silence ensued amidst them for a while. A lone tear rolled down Killian's cheeks. If only he hadn't hidden the truth from her
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 138- All Hath no Fury Like a Daughter Scorned
They walked back into the restaurant. Liam was seen taking the customer's orders. "What is your relationship with my brother?" Penelope heard behind her. Killian s front was plastered against her back. She could feel a stir on her butt. Thankfully, the kids had run off somewhere. Or it would be an inappropriate scene for them to witness. "Killian!" She scolded subtly. "I expected an answer." He further pressed his front into her backside, not minding that they were in public."Nothing! He was the first friend I made here." She quickly answered. Killian reluctantly backed away from her."Good. For his sake, it must remain that way." The warning that laced his tone was evident. Killian didn't come down all the way there to play second fiddle to any man, not even his own brother. "Daddy!" The customers looked around, wondering who the little troublemakers were calling. It was foreign to him but he traced where the little voices came from. Max and Fran beckoned on him. "We want to show
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 139- How do you do it?
Penelope sat outside on the porch in the evening, her gaze focused on the activities ahead of her with a smile plastered on her face as the children played with their father.It was what the kids had missed… Well, she denied them of them when she made the decision to leave three years ago. It was the decision she thought to be best at that moment. But things became difficult to handle all alone.Two weeks had passed since Killian found them. She still had no idea how it happened. But a part of her was glad that it did. Many times, couples would walk into her restaurant, sometimes with their children.

Whatever he didn’t pack along or left out, he could easily buy- Those were his words.Killian had bonded greatly with the kids, just as they did with their father likewise. It seemed like he was trying really hard to make up the

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
