The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate Chapter 91- Letting go of the reins
Stop Killian! Penelope giggled as while running around the marble with Killian on a hot chase. He scooped a handful of the flour mix and aimed it in her direction. Her gaze widened as the mixture moved towards her in slow motion. It smacked her right on the bridge of her nose. She squealed at the squeamish feeling and grabbed the whole bowl. With a coy smile and a roar, she ran and closed the short distance between them to dump all the content on him. He didn't move an inch and stood there, welcoming her assault. The mixture dropped like a gooey down his head face. Penelope grabbed her small bump and laughed, pointing at him mockingly. "Look at you." She continued to laugh. Killian smirk and marched towards her with predatory steps. His gaze showed a devious intention. She retreated after seeing the expression on his face. "Oh... OH..." Her gaze darted to the exit to plan her escape. But she didn't make it before Killian swooped her into his arms and ran up the stairs. She sat st

Penelope woke up tangled in the sheets. The morning sun softly beamed through the windows and onto her face. With her eyes still closed, she patted the spot beside her but her hand came up empty. Immediately, her eyes snapped open. “Killian?” Her eyes darted to every corner of the room, looking for him. Had he left her? She asked herself warily. She slowly climbed out of the bed, wrapping the sheet around her small body. At the same moment, the door opened to reveal Killian wearing an apron with a tray in hand. Subconsciously, she let out a huge sigh of relief. “Killian.” She whispered in shock. Killian shot her a confused look. “Morning, Ms. Winters. You look like you have seen a ghost. What were you doing?” He inquired, staring at her wrapped in the sheets, along with trying to decipher the strange expression on her face. She stared down at how ridiculous she looked with the sheets wrapped around her being, “Uh… Nothing.” “Indeed.” Killian said. “Come here. I made breakfast.

The sun had set. It had become dark but a soothing kind of darkness ensued on Penelope. It served as a sanctuary for her thoughts running in circles. The waves crashed along the shoreline, pulling itself back and leaving the sand bare. Penelope sat in from of the sea water and watched it splash on her feet before pulling back. The action was synonymous to her life. One minute, she had all she wished for. Or at least, she thought she did. Then, the blurred lines became evident that it was all her imagination. Bryan. She hadn't expected her brother to desert her, desperately wanting to break things off. It was the first time she was happy and felt being provided for. It was the first time the heavy burden was lifted off her shoulders. But at what cost? At the cost of not being truly seen. She ran a hand down her arms, trying to create some warmth to shield herself from the cold. Her hand traced circles on her belly. "Little one." She started speaking to it, "Uh... I don't know h

Brie regained her consciousness after almost an hour. "What can be done? It's just a day away. Where will I find a dress in such a short time?! I don't like any of these dresses." Penelope vented out, pacing back and forth. "Maybe I should just pick any damn one. The wedding isn't real, anyway." She added. "Shhh…Keep your voice down, Penny. Your back and forth pacing is making me dizzy." Francine chided and dragged her out of the store. "We will find you a dress, okay? It's your day. Damn the authenticity of it. As girls, we all have a dream of looking and feeling our best on our wedding day. So, dead squash that thought on your mind right now." She warned sternly.

She kept her gaze on the door to see who came looking for her. The dope opened to reveal Bryan. She squealed out of excitement and ran to hug him. "Bryan!" "Penny! Your makeup!" Francine called after her. "Hey... Buttercup!" Bryan spoke, forcing a smile. "I was not sure if I could come. It is still your big day. Can't miss it for the world. Since... Since dad is not here, I thought I could walk you down the aisle." He explained. "Of course, you are always welcome here. I tried so hard to reach out. You didn't answer any of my calls." She said, playfully punching him on the chest. "Oww..." She yelped, feigning her knuckles in pain.

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.

"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?"

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
