The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 64- Silent noise
Penelope didn’t talk. Which unnerved Killian. She didn’t even look in his direction. Killian tugged at his tie out of frustration.What can he do to get her to talk? He couldn’t handle the silent treatment anymore. He preferred her chatting his ears off and berating him.“Let’s get out of here.” Killian pulled Penelope along harshly.For a brief second, she relished in his hold and yanked hers out of his. She stomped her way towards his car.She yanked the door open after the Valet handed the keys to Killian and sat in the passenger’s seat. She really couldn’t wait to go home,Killian marched with equal intensity and sat behind the wheel. He slammed the door shut, making Penelope jump in fright. Regardless, Penelope uttered no word, not even a sound.The car was started and Killian sped away from the Villa and onto the streets. His foot pressed harder on the accelerator. The car roared angrily. The sight outside the window blurred into colourful block lines.Penelope grabbed the hand

The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 66- Girls Got Girls
The atmosphere was bustling with giggles and joyous laughter. Francine stared at the couples around her with longing. It was the first night of the weekend. Of course, couples would take the day to catch up from their busy schedule during the week.The restaurant was their favourite. The spot was theirs, too. The owner of the restaurant never failed to make it available for them whenever she requested for it.“Babe?” Freddy arrived at the restaurant. “I am so sorry I kept you waiting.” He came in and pecked her on her lips. “Killian almost drove me to nuts on his search for Ms. Winters.”Francine’s eyebrows furrowed. She wondered what he did to Penelope again.Freddy frowned at her lack of reciprocation, “What is going on?” He asked as he pulled out the seat opposite Francine out for himself.Francine let out a sigh and stared out of the window. “The view is beautiful.” She said quietly.“Is this about your grandfather?” Freddy inquired. “I have a solution.” He announced excitedly. “

"Where is she, huh?" Killian bellowed in his study. "Can we report her missing?" "It hasn't met the duration to file such report." Nathan countered. Killian scoffed, "The 72 hours duration? What if she is in danger? Where the hell is Freddy, by the way?!" Nathan shrugged and leaned into his seat, "That would be on you. Who leaves a woman stranded in the middle of nowhere? Definitely not a gentleman."Killian glared at Nathan. "It's not the time, Nathan." He spoke gently. He already had enough of self-blaming. He had yet to get a wink of sleep, worrying about her safety. A series of knock sounded on the door. "Come in." He answered, sounding tired. Boyles poked his head into the room. His dark hair was combed to the back. He had on a brown leather jacket, paired with black jeans. "Is this a bad time?" He asked grinning, "Looks like it's a bad time." He answered himself, cringing. Killian wasn't the least interested in his theatrics gimmicks. "Depends, Boyles." Killian responde

"Have you seen Ms. Winters?" Killian inquired from Ms. BShe shook her head, "She has been behind closed doors since your return from the hospital." She answered. Ms. B wondered what happened at the hospital. She was well aware of Killian's desire to possess an heir. It had caused a rift between his deceased wife and him. She had been there their entire marriage. But she could feel whatever was between Killian and Penelope, it exceeded the pregnancy. "Thank you," Killian said and turned towards Penelope's wing in the manor."Uhm..." Ms. B started uncertainly, "Maybe you should give her some alone time?" She suggested.He needed an answer and he needed it very soon. He gave a nod hesitantly. His gaze wandered towards her wing, wishing she could materialize from her room. He shook his head and grabbed his car keys. He sped out of the manor like a maniac with no destination in mind. ***Penelope lifted the hem of her top and stared at her reflection in the mirror. She felt her tummy
The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 69- Broken Mended Hearts
"Bryan!" She squealed over the phone awkwardly. "You didn't tell me you were back. Thought you would be in Germany for another two months." She said trying to buy some time on what to do."You don't sound too happy to hear about my arrival. That's heartbreaking." Bryan retorted."No no... I am happy. Of course... I am. You know I don't like surprises. I would have got things in place ahead of your arrival. But don't worry. I'll get a cab and meet you at the airport in a couple of minutes." She quickly explained to diffuse the situation.Penelope changed into a pair of shorts and a tank top. She wore a Jean jacket over it and slipped into pink sanders before leaving her room.The next step is how to get a cab. A thought popped into her head.She went to the drivers' quarters in search of Max. "Max!" She called from outside.She heard some movement before a man poked his head out. It was Van, Killian's driver."Ms. Winters!" His eyes widened. He had wanted to lash out at whoever was di

Penelope paced back and forth in her room. It had been over a week since Bryan returned from the country. She needed to come up with something soon. Her phone chimed. She walked over to it to see the notification of a message from an unknown number. But there had been messages persistently for some months. The message wasn't any different but a name was added this time. "I love you."DrewThe message read. She threw her phone back on the bed. She had thought it was a message from Killian. She could care less about Drew. He was her past, a history. It was best he stayed there. The message failed to stir any emotion from her. She regarded the words baseless and him, a liar. Penelope wanted to ask for his permission to inform her brother about the pregnancy, the engagement hasn't been fully established. She needed more time.Plus, she had to devise a means of living in the condo to rid Bryan of any suspicion towards her. She heard the faint roar of the car. Quickly, her bare feet sl

Penelope took a deep breath and scanned her thumb. The machine beeped and clicked open."This is where I live." She led Bryan in and gestured to around. "But only on weekends. I stay at the staff's wing on weekdays." She thought to quickly slip in an excuse for her absence.Bryan looked around and nodded. "It looks expensive." He arched his brow."A lot of savings... And loans.' She lied. Everytime her mind nudged her to tell the truth, she decided against it.The time wasn't right yet. Besides, she needed Killian' s approval to inform him. Breaching the contract wasn't a choice when she was in so deep. Her hand rubbed her tummy subconsciously."Are you hungry?' He asked, looking pointedly at her tummy.Her eyes widened. She retracted her hand immediately." Yes... No…" she stuttered, then calmed herself. "I will just make something for the both of us." She ran to the kitchen, happy to be out of his scrutinizing gaze. "By the way, you…we have a roommate.""A roommate?" Bryan dropped h

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

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
