The Surrogate-in-law: The Billionaire CEO's Deception You should cherish her
Violet, When I woke up with a sharp pain in my head, I noticed Mom, Knox, and Sam were having a conversation—or maybe a heated argument, I couldn’t quite fathom. A bit of confusion worked within me about my surroundings, and then I recalled the situation I was in earlier. A bitter laugh escaped me as I realized how foolishly I had overreacted to Knox’s words. How foolish! He was right when he said that. He never saw me as anything more than a buddy who grew up with him. The woman who had lost everything was his love of life. I should have shown a bit of compassion. But then again, I didn’t know how to show compassion to anyone. It was worthless to even talk about. Whatever it was, I should have said something else instead of calling his woman infertile. “Violet! You’re up!” Sam approached quickly. My mother rushed to me and held my hands. “How are you feeling, sweetheart?” I pulled my hand away. Her sweetness felt as fake as ever. But I didn’t want to make any conversation. “Yea

Sarah Smith,"Ms. Sarah, we have appointed a psychologist to help you cope with the overwhelming emotions you're feeling right now. Trust me, she's an expert—absolutely perfect for the situation."Sam Riverwood, Violet’s brother, stood near the foot of my hospital bed, his voice calm, his smile professional. He scribbled something in his notebook as he spoke, as if I was just another patient, just another case in his daily life.I barely nodded, eyes fixed on the pale wall in front of me. The silence in the room was thick, but I wasn’t interested in breaking it."Any discomfort? Headache or nausea?" he asked, glancing at the IV drip connected to my arm."No. Thanks." I shifted my gaze to his face. "By the way, Doc," I said, my voice low but clear, "does your sister like my fiancé?"Sam paused, visibly taken aback. His pen stopped midair, and a faint frown formed between his brows. "If you mean romantically... I don’t think so," he replied after a beat, clearly confused by my directnes

Violet,Although at first I didn’t actually feel anything, recently I started feeling drained and exhausted out of nowhere. Earlier today, I had an important meeting with one of the biggest clients, and I almost collapsed on the floor while talking to him.Certainly, it’s normal to feel a bit under the weather, and clients understand that we’re human too. But I hated the fact that I had to pause the meeting for five minutes to deal with it.My blood pressure was fine. I took my vitamins, and the meal was from my regular diet—yet I was weak?Does it even make any sense?Running my fingers through my hair, I sat in the car. Mirah had been a bit more attentive to me than her work. Is she trying to slack off?However, before I could tell the driver to move, a knock on the car window made me look up.At first, I didn’t recognize him. But Mirah gasped when she did. She hurriedly moved to me and opened *my* door without even asking for permission.“What are you doing, Mirah?” My voice was co

"I don't understand! What happened seven years ago that caused you to lash out?" I scoffed, standing up. I had been an expert at feigning my emotions. Hopefully, he wouldn't see through me. "You are childish. You better clean up yourself before returning home."I said, walking out of the bathroom. However, he stopped me, holding my wrist. "You never said what made you leave the country so suddenly. It's a mystery to everyone, even me!"My eyes widened when he said that. I thought he believed me when I said I needed to leave for some personal reason."It's even!" I said, my voice light. "Let's not dwell on this anymore!""What do you mean by 'it's even'? What is even?" he asked, his voice frantic.My eyebrows arched as I faced him. "Since I ghosted you for six months when we were in senior school, and now you ghosted me for a whole year... I think we both know what kind of pain we felt when we were ghosting each other and prioritizing anything else!""Wh-What? No. That's not the same!"

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

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.

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?

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 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

"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

"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
