The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 52- Emotional Turmoil
The man extended his hand for a shake, “Anderson Boyles.” He introduced himself. Penelope was reluctant to shake his hand but Hailey moved in front of Penelope and took his hand in hers. Hailey had a starry look as she stared at him.On the other hand, Penelope was wary of him. It was all just too convenient for him to step out of the shadows and be a knight in shining armor.“You don’t trust me yet?” Boyles inquired tilting his head slightly to the side.Penelope shrugged in response, not wanting to engage him. The less they spoke, the better for him. He was a handsome man and looked to have his c harms but his piercing gaze held a lot of emotions.“I will need some details. His name… Wh.” Boyles said but was interrupted.“Frank Bottoms.” Hailey squealed, then slammed a hand over her mouth in embarrassment.Penelope and Boyles exchanged a glance. The jerk’s last name really suited him, almost cracking their armors to laugh in unison.But Penelope cleared her throat and diverted her g

Penelope wore an overall jean, paired with a green round neck shirt. Her mood was on the high. She whistled as she tied her hair into a pony tail.She packed all her essentials and went to have breakfast before heading out to the shelter.“Someone is ecstatic this morning.” Hailey chirped brightly.It was nice to see her back in her usual demeanor.“Yes!” Penelope responded enthusiastically. She assisted the maids to serve the food. Killian walked downstairs in his sleep wear. the top was left unbuttoned, showing a little bit of his smooth, bare chest.Penelope quickly averted her gaze.

It was just Penelope and Killian, each at the other end of the table.Penelope chewed slowly, aware of Killian gaze on her. She busied herself with eating.***“Penelope.” Killian called softly, after a long while. He could no longer endure the stretched sile

Killian paced back and forth in the hospital.His hands were bloodied but it was the least of his worries. He was barely holding himself together.Francine and Freddy were the first to arrive at the hospital.“Hey…” Francine pulled Killian into an embrace. “She will pull through out of this.” She consoled him, rubbing his back.“Man.” Freddy was devastated when he got the news. He picked up Francine from the studio and drove to the hospital like a maniac. “Heard from a nurse? Doctor?”Killian shook his head. “No one. She is in the OR. I don’t… I don’t know.” Killian was in despair. His hair was everywhere.Freddy patted him on the back and led him to have a seat. They all waited together.Hours later… A doctor came out.“She is out of harm’s way for now but she has to be monitored for some nights here.” The doctor said, his expression grave.Killian wasn’t sure whether to still be worried or be relieved.“Thank you.” Freddy said to the doctor.The doctor nodded. “One of you can see he

Everyone including Killian, Francine, Freddy, and Hailey took turns to watch over Penelope. For the past 24 hours, she slipped in and out of consciousness. The doctor had informed them that it was totally normal.On Monday, she was fully awake and devouring the meal Ms. B sent through Hailey.“Whoa, Penny. Calm down. My aunt can send more if you want.” Hailey said, chuckling.“This is so delicious and just perfect amount of spice.” She said mouthful of food.Hailey grimaced at the sight. “Who would have thought you would have this much appetite?” She asked, marvelled.Penelope shrugged and continued to eat, grinning with each spoonful of food.”Suddenly, Hailey’s face became gloomy.Penelope frowned. She pushed the food aside and turned to Hailey, “What is wrong?” She asked.“Frank.” Hailey replied.Realization dawned on Penelope. She had almost forgot about the man blackmailing Hailey.“What about uhm the man that gave out his card? Have you reached out to him?” Penelope inquired.“Y

“Fill her discharged paper works. She can leave at noon. Thankfully, the toxins didn’t do any damage to her organs. The only real damage was to the growing foetus.” Doctor Humphrey explained to Killian and Penelope.“Finally!” Penelope blurted. “Sorry!”Melissa smiled. “It is all right. No one loves staying at the hospital.” She said. “I hope I don’t see you strolled into the hospital anymore.” She said, sternly. Her voice, showing a bit of concern.Penelope nodded in understanding. Melissa took her leave thereafter.“Let’s get you home.” Killian said lowly.Van drove them home. Ms. B pulled Penelope into a bone crushing hug.“Ms. B.” Penelope said in shock.“You scared us all to death.” Ms. B, said teary eyed. “I am so happy to see you alive.” She continued, “We all thought the worst.” She finally let go of Penelope. “Mr. King informed me of your arrival. There is a feast that await you.”“A feast? Just for me? You shouldn’t have, Ms. B. That is too much.” Penelope said, her words sh

Francine was painting on the canvas when Freddy arrived. “Babe!” She squealed, dropping the brush and ran to jump into his arms. Freddy lifted with her ease. He carried her to a couch in her studio. “Someone is perky today.” He said, raising an eyebrow. Francine shrugged, wrapped both arms behind his head as he took a seat. “Just ecstatic.” Freddy narrowed his eyes on her. “The past weeks? Including when we were in Singapore? What happened, then?” He probed. “Don’t think I didn’t notice.” Francine shifted on his laps. “It is nothing to worry about, babe.” She hadn’t yet fully grasped the levity of the situation herself. To distract him from his interrogation, she claimed his lips. She had missed him so much. She wondered how long she would keep hiding it from him. She had to lie about her monthly cramps for crying but he had her cycle mastered. She kept on lying to dissuade him. One of the days, it would definitely catch up with her. The door opened to reveal a couple but they

“Shit!” Tristan cursed, holding his in pain. You messed with the wrong dude, man. Do you know who I am?” He asked, looking around. “I will sue your ass to court!” He shouted at the precinct. The officers all glared at him. “Lock him up right now!” He continued, ordering the policemen.Everyone just stared at him blankly and continued with their work.“Mr. Newmann… Mr, Young. I believe you can solve this outside the court.” The officer in charge said, looking bored.Freddy sat completely calm. There were only a couple of bruises on his face. He may not have the muscles but he was a martial artist. Also, he knew how to keep himself in shape.Tristan, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. There were multiple cuts and bruises. He had needed to support his jaw with his hand the whole ride to the precinct.The fight blew up at Hanson’s. Nathan and Killian had tried to stop the fight but the fight only got fiercer. They had no choice but to back up till the cops arrived.Who would ha

Penelope had just finished taking a shower, ready to retire for the night.No sooner had she climbed onto her bed that she heard a knock on the door. She paused and climbed off to open the door."Penelope." Killian lazily dragged while leaning his weight on the door frame. A breath of mint and something she couldn't lay her hands on hit her."Killian?" It was very late into the night. She had expected that he would be asleep at the time. "Are you okay?"He shrugged and smiled, showing his dimples that she never thought existed."You should get some sleep." Penelope urged.Killian shook his head. "No. I wanted to see you, Penelope." He retorted, frowning.She stared at him suspiciously, after his breath hit her again. "You are drunk." She frowned. It wasn't a question. She stated it as a matter of fact. "That's it. Off to your room." She raised her hands to guide him to his room but he held her hand in their air and pulled her into an embrace.His head lay on her shoulder. A sigh of co

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.

"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
