All Chapters of The Ruthless Billionaire and His Sassy Surrogate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“Penny! Where have you been?” Bryan asked sternly as soon as Penelope stepped through the doorway.Penelope stopped in her tracks. She had quickly rushed over to check up on him before following Ms. Flores to Killian’s manor. Ms. Flores insisted on going with her but she pleaded with her to stay outside.“Uh… I had some work to do.” She responded with a smile sheepishly.Technically, it wasn’t a lie.His gaze travelled from her head to toe. She had worn a beanie over her head so she wouldn’t answer his barrel of questions.“What are you wearing?” Bryan asked. The clothes were totally not my style. I preferred baggy and casual clothes. Not the black fitted jumpsuit with a pair of heels. She only dressed exotic to work.God forbade he saw the new iPhone 15 bought for her.“I borrowed it from a friend.” Penny lied.He definitely didn’t buy it but said nothing. She spent some minutes with him before she got ready to leave. “Bryan. Please, don’t give up hope. You will be out of here soon.

Killian couldn’t believe the nerve of Penelope when he found her in the forbidden room. He had engraved it into everyone’s memory never to enter her room.“K-Killi-” Penelope stammered seeing how he marched towards her with intent. He grabbed her by the arm roughly and dragged her out of the room.His nails dug into her flesh, making her yelp in pain. “You are hurting me, Killian!” She shouted.Hailey and Ms. B could only watch the scene unfold before them as they were peeping through a window.Killian was deaf to her cries of pain. “WHY DID YOU GO IN THERE?!” He roared as he yanked the fur coat off Penelope without mining her tangled elbow in it.For the first time, Penelope was scared of him, especially with the incensed gaze. “P-please.” She pleaded.“THAT ROOM IS FORBIDDEN.” He growled in her ears making close her eyes and break into sobs. No one had been in the room since his wife’s death. Not even Killian.He couldn’t bear the thought of her death. So, he kept the room intact wi

What the hell is he doing here?She was already thinking of how else to get money for her brother’s surgery. Her disappearance from the hospital was spurred when she saw the bruise on her neck.I didn’t sign up my life along with my womb for money.He watched some other men hurdle around him out of nowhere. The hell? How long had he been watching her?But it was only Killian marching towards Penelope with intent, ditching the bodyguards. Penelope remained seated, unbothered.Killian got to where she was seated. “We need to talk.”The cat barred its teeth and claws at him when he spoke. Though it didn’t deter Killian, Penelope felt good about it. She wasn’t the only one that loathed his presence.Killian, however, maintained a safe distance from the cat as his nose began to itch.Seeing Penelope didn’t even spare him a glance, he tried again.“Please, Ms. Winters.” He said, lowering his voice. The words were foreign to him. If Jared saw him right then, he would deem Killian a weakling.

Killian sat on the bed in his bedroom. His phone rang buzzed on the bedside table. So he adjusted his position on the bed to retrieve his phone.“Good morning, Bestie!” Detective Boyles chirped on the phone as soon as answered the call.“Arghh…” Killian grunted at his excited tone. He wished he hadn’t given the detective his number but something told him that he would find a way to retrieve it.Killian got out of the bed and stepped out of his room to make himself coffee.“Boyles. What do you want?” He preferred cutting right to the chase.“We got your culprit. It was a couple of your workers. The protest was apparently a work.” He stated.That arrested his attention as he reached the kitchen where he met Penelope brewing coffee with her back turned towards him.He could not help his traveling eyes that took their sweet time enjoying the way her nightie shaped her voluptuous behind. She would make a good view being spread over the kitchen counter, he thought. His sleeping junior stirr

Chapter 19Penelope returned to the party in cautious steps.If the body wasn’t found, why was she declared dead?Her mind reeled, unable to comprehend the revelation. The woman that attacked at the mall.Maybe she knew something. She remembered the night she met Killian when he was called a murderer.Her mind refused to connect the dots. He couldn’t possibly kill her, could he? Many rumours had spread over the years about the Kings. Some said they could make anyone disappear at will and the authority wouldn’t bat an eyelash.Good lord, Penny. Your mind is running wild. That is completely ridiculous. No one is above the law.“Finally, I get to meet the infamous Ms. Winters.” Penelope heard a voice. She looked up to see two men watching her strangely. Shew was familiar with one of them but had no idea who the other one was. But with his dashing looks, he could pass for a model or celebrity.“Huh?”“I am Nathan Freight. We couldn’t meet that night because of a brute.” He introduced hims
