The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception I was selfish
Knox, Three days later "Knox! My Sarah has always been a bit insecure about her relationship. I know you don’t have any romantic involvement with Violet, but I still hope you will keep your promise!" Mrs. Smith's words left me speechless and flabbergasted. The reason I hadn’t met Violet wasn’t because of anything else but time. Handling five different projects, going on blind dates, and adjusting to this new life—completely different from the one I had built with Violet—had kept me occupied. Still, unlike before, after deciding to take slow steps toward this new chapter, I had unconsciously distanced myself from Violet. And yet, people kept seeing our friendship as something more. It had always bothered me. "Violet is my best friend. I can’t imagine seeing her as my wife. Everything I’m doing is for Sarah. I know our marriage is arranged, but I don’t like breaking promises." But the moment Violet walked in, followed by Sam, my words felt bitter. 'I don’t like breaking promis

Violet, I wonder how it feels when someone has their love reciprocated. After the initial suggestion of surrogacy, I thought I would ask for time to think about it. However, I completely forgot that my family had little respect for my decisions. Somehow, they knew Knox was my weakness. Although I hated to admit it, they were right. Maybe after seeing him in that condition, I couldn't say no. Or maybe… I wanted to be connected to him in some way, whether through a child or a fake relationship. Maybe he never saw me as a woman. Maybe he started prioritizing his life partner over me. But I was the one who initiated love for him. I loved him in secret, and I would choose him. It wasn’t about him loving me back. It was about making myself happy with my own love for him. "Violet!" My mother knocked on the door as I rested in my bedroom. I sat up, facing her with an indifferent expression. My relationship with my family wasn’t worth mentioning. It had been strained for the past sev

Knox, The moment the doctor announced that the pregnancy was successful, a rush of mixed emotions surged through my chest. Before I could even process my own actions—or the pain in my elbow and chest—I reached out to her. Violet, who once wore her heart on her sleeve, now showed no emotion at all. I was grateful. But every time she questioned our promises, guilt twisted inside me like a knife. Still, hearing that I was going to be a father, knowing that Sarah’s dream was finally coming true—I couldn’t stop myself from feeling happy. "Thank you, Vio. You have no idea how much this means to me. Sarah would be so grateful for this." Violet said nothing, only giving a small nod. We used to talk endlessly, like kids with no sense of boundaries. But now, every response from her was careful, calculated—like she was measuring each word before speaking. "Anyway, I hope you’ll be careful and not overwork yourself," Dr. Suzanne, who had known Violet since we were teenagers, warned her ge

Violet, The stronger you get, the lonelier you become. Earlier, I received a call from the bank informing me that my account, holding ten million dollars, had reached its target. This account was created when I was seventeen, right after I first bought the cottage with Knox by the beautiful lakeside. Our sanctuary—the only place where no one was allowed to enter. Hearing the news that my target had been fulfilled by the time I turned twenty-five, I felt a mixture of emotions. Happiness, because I could finally buy the villa we had dreamed of for the past eight years. And hesitation—what if Knox refused to buy it with me since he wasn’t single anymore? Yet, I wanted to take a leap of faith, just to prove myself wrong for thinking this way. Little did I know, I was about to face another betrayal. Sitting in my car by the park, I closed my eyes. The supposedly perfect life I had built started feeling suffocating, heavy. I didn’t want to go home—the place that once brought me pe
Last Updated : 2025-03-08The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Not the same anymore
With the pure intention of avoiding Knox, I returned home around 11 after having a late-night snack and enjoying the night view from the rooftop of the largest commercial building we owned. Not gonna lie, the rooftop was the only place where I could gather my emotions and thoughts without any interruptions. Since Knox usually went to bed around 9, I assumed he would already be asleep by the time I got home. As soon as I walked in, the first thing I did was take off my heels. My ankles were aching, and my soles were burning. While heading toward the stairs, I planned to soak my legs in water for a while. However, I paused midway when I heard something fall to the floor and shatter into pieces. I turned toward Knox's bedroom. The doctor had warned him not to move without a wheelchair since his ribs were still healing. Narrowing my eyes, I stood still, wondering if I had misheard. It was past 11—Knox should have been asleep by now. But to my absolute horror, I heard his groa

Moon-Tears, A fabric I had personally customized over the years with the help of some of my clients. From collecting the cotton to reviewing the final product, I oversaw every step of the process, savoring the experience. That was why it had taken me five years to perfect. "Boss, how about we hire some freelancers? There are plenty of fashion designers eager to work with us!" Mirah suggested, her freshly manicured nails tapping rhythmically against the keyboard. Leaning back in my chair, I sipped my afternoon coffee and hummed thoughtfully. Freelancers? It was a better idea than halting the project altogether. Our company wasn't in the fashion or entertainment industry, but I had always enjoyed gaining experience in different fields. This particular endeavor had intrigued me since I was twenty when I first started working for our company. But now that I thought about it, my father hadn't sent any updates after his meeting in Qatar. "Mirah, has my father sent any emails? It

The first red flag I should have noticed about the meeting with the actor and his company was the location they requested—a VIP club. I didn't know what they had planned for this meeting, but as usual, I had a gut feeling that something interesting was about to unfold. The moment my car entered the VIP parking lot, the club grew silent. The coworkers and the manager's footsteps echoed in the hallway as they all stood in two lines. My two bodyguards opened the door. Mirah got out first and held my hand as I stepped out. Not to mention, I was wearing heels, and my foot had been bandaged. My attention shifted to the people—neat and clean—but their expressions changed to pure confusion when I walked toward the door. "What's going on? I heard the CEO of Riverwood is here. Where is he?" one of the waitresses asked. "This is Riverwood's logo. They are the ones. But... is the CEO of Riverwood a woman?" I wasn't surprised by their supposedly whispered words. I had never app

The deal had been canceled the moment I said I didn’t want it. The payment for the damage at the club had already been sent, along with the CCTV footage of that man... I didn’t know his name—like I cared—to the Dales Entertainment Company. It was one of the biggest entertainment companies. However, judging by how they treated their employees, it wasn’t long before they got involved in some sort of controversy. Not to mention, fans think they own their idols, becoming enemies of their idols if they get involved in any scandal. I avoided situations that might cause me a loss. I would rather keep them away from my company instead of bringing them in. “I’m disappointed!” Mirah placed a bunch of files on her desk before breathing heavily. “I really loved the Dales Entertainment Company. I even wanted to work there!” I folded my arms and leaned into my chair. I didn’t know much about Mirah’s personal life. So she liked some actors? It was news to me. “Aren’t you happy that you co

The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Xavier Watson
Violet,It was a spring day when I found him lying under that sacred tree. His long hair covered half of his eyes. The uniform was wrinkled after lying on the grass for a while.I sat beside him, staying silent and enjoying that calm moment where my racing heart and his soft snores were the only thing between us.Earlier that day, when our friends went home after school, one of the girls confessed to Knox. In front of everyone, including our math teacher. I was beyond angry. I wanted to hurt her, get rid of her, or make her suspended.However, one thing that stopped me from doing anything was when Knox mentioned that he was a human, not an object to be controlled and claimed as someone's belonging.That day I realized that no matter how strong, how ruthless, how much of a wild beast I became, I would never force him to love me or harm the people he chose to love.Whenever I saw him with some girls, I knew I was jealous and angry. However, he never broke his promises.Sometimes I wonde
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception She has changed
Sarah turned to me, her expression collapsing into panic. "What does she mean?" she asked, her voice trembling. Her mother clutched her arm, trying to steady her, but Sarah shoved her away, her breathing turning frantic. "What is she talking about? Knox—what does she mean? What does she mean you're married?" I didn't answer fast enough. Her face twisted as realization dawned like a thunderclap. "No. No! Tell me she’s lying. Please—tell me she’s just trying to get back at me! Tell me this is all fake! "Sarah..." I tried to speak, but my voice came out too quiet, too slow. "You married her?!" she screamed, her voice breaking apart like glass. "You married her?!" She dropped to the floor, hands shaking violently as she pulled at her own hair. Tears streamed down her face in ugly sobs. “Why?! Why would you do this to me? Because I can’t get pregnant? Is that it?! You married her behind my back?!” "Sarah—" "You could’ve told me! You could’ve said something!" she wailed, pou
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Exposing the truth
Knox,A woman?Her words reminded me of that day in school—the chaos that erupted when one of our classmates punched her best friend in the face. All because his girlfriend had spread rumors after learning her secrets from him. She was jealous of their bond. That day, we laughed. We said we'd never risk our friendship over a woman.Now, my chest tightened like a vise was wrapped around my ribs. My eyes locked on her. She looked so different. So cold. Her voice didn’t crack. Her body didn’t shake. Her expression was composed, terrifyingly so.How could someone say something that strong while staying that calm?She had changed. Violet had changed—and with her, my world tilted."I don't need you," she said. Her tone was sharp, her words precisely placed like blades. "Because I lost you the moment you thought it was fine risking our friendship, ghosting me for a woman you knew only a few weeks." She breathed in, as if steadying herself before swinging another blow."It's not a lie, it's
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception A woman
"And—" He looked directly into my eyes and said the cruelest words I’d ever heard from him. "I wouldn’t have a child if it wasn’t for Sarah. So you should respect her as the child’s mother. You’re nothing but the surrogate mother."What do you think I felt at that moment? Heartbreak? Anger or humiliation? No... Nothing. Literally nothing. Not a single heartache. I was frozen—blank and numb inside. The person I had once loved, the person who had once been my world, now looked unrecognizable and cruel. I smiled dryly and then nodded with my body shaking with overwhelming emotions. "Good," I muttered, swallowing the pain that cut through my throat like a thorn. "But in that agreement, I said I had the right to terminate the pregnancy. Since you’ve proven just how ungrateful you truly are, I don’t want to waste my time or body for a bunch of ungrateful bitches." Knox’s eyes widened as I smirked. And it wasn’t a smirk of vulnerability or empty threats. I meant it. "You won’t do it," K
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Nothing but a Surrogate
"Tell me, are you here knowing that they wanted to screw me up?" I asked, my voice icy.Mrs. Silverfang looked nervous and glanced away like a thief who couldn’t explain why he was stealing.However, Mr. Silverfang stepped ahead with an apologetic smile. "I think she just said that out of respect for your parents. Please don’t get upset. I apologize on her behalf."Mr. Silverfang, who had the same personality as Knox, knew he couldn’t win against me. No—nobody could, because I was the one in control here.Still, I didn’t feel calm. I felt eerily frustrated, as if after being ignored by Knox for a whole year, this was the final straw they had prepared to break me.They knew I wasn’t like some pathetic people who would act like a doormat and give away everything. Moon Tears was my creation. I had built it with my love and time."It’s always like this, isn’t it?" I asked, locking eyes with Mr. Silverfang."For the last ten years, has anyone asked me how I was doing? Has anyone explained
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception The Moon Tears
Violet,In this family, I am the black sheep. A daughter who was never perfect enough for their flawless family portrait. So, when Knox asked why I was wearing a sweatshirt and pants instead of dressing formally, I wanted to laugh. Just ten months were enough for him to forget that I meant nothing to them. They would never hold a family gathering just for me. At that moment, I had no idea I was about to receive the biggest slap in the face. I was enjoying my ice cream while my parents were planning a trip—for their daughter. The kind of daughter they proudly acknowledged—like Sarah and Knox, obviously. I didn’t feel anything toward them. Not anymore. Although, I felt a twist in my stomach when Knox remained silent about the trip and didn’t say no. “So… everyone!” My mother’s voice was light and cheerful, as if she was about to announce the source of her true happiness. Her eyes briefly met mine before her smile deepened. “I think you’ve all met my second daughter, Anna R
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception Family Gathering
Knox,I was invited to the family dinner as Violet's husband, not as his best friend. I was supposed to set the boundaries to make sure we didn't feel conflicted but... I couldn't bring myself to do it.So I decided to talk to Violet instead, since she knew how to draw a line with her family. I didn’t want to disappoint them or make them upset regarding the matter."Vio!" I knocked on the door. It still felt so weird to knock when we used to walk in without caring about anything."Come in!" she shouted from her room."What are you doing? Aren’t we going to your parents’ house?" I asked, walking in. A gentle scent hit my nostrils when the wind brushed past my face."I am almost ready!" she said in her usual calm tone, twisting her hair into a messy bun.I scanned her — sweatpants, a purse, no makeup. She was never enthusiastic about having dinner with her family. But I thought this dinner was supposed to celebrate our temporary wedding. That’s what they said in their messages."Ready?
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception A scar on her back
Knox,Practically, I was unaware of what I was labeling the relationship that had suddenly taken a turn between us. Although I hadn’t met her in the last ten months, I came to see her every day in secret. I watched the coldness in her grow—slowly, gradually—towards everyone around her.If someone had asked me what I thought about Violet, I could never imagine her as a romantic partner. Not because she wasn’t beautiful or someone that sparked desire. It was because… she was beyond reach.People call me ruthless, a dominating businessman who never bowed to defeat. But that wasn’t true.Violet was the true example of dominance. She was everything a human wished they could become.She doesn’t fake. She doesn’t sugarcoat. She won’t pose in front of the camera to look perfect. She is the example of perfection itself.She never stammered, never hesitated, and never stopped doing what she truly wanted to do.I always wanted to reach her, walk beside her—whether as a man or a best friend. Eith
The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception My wife
Knox,"She is under stress. Please give her the company she needs to feel loved and cherished," the female psychiatrist stood up, leaving me and Sarah alone in her room.Earlier, when Mark informed me about her situation, I came here immediately. Because of my work commitments, I couldn't give her enough time. However, instead of seeing her unconscious or being examined, I was sent to her room with the female psychiatrist.At first, I didn't think much of it, but... the conversation went this way..."Mr. Silverfang, I understand that you trust your best friend and have given her the privilege of having your child. But as Ms. Sarah's fiancé, you should help her understand why you took such a drastic measure!"I took a glance at Sarah, who avoided eye contact. I thought I had had a fair conversation with her regarding the situation."Ms. Sarah has made it clear that she is uncomfortable around Ms. Violet Riverwood. Have you reconsidered your fiancée's emotions in this situation?" she ke
