• Ruthless Temptation   The Gender Reveal Drama

  Emma’s POV I wanted something simple. A small gathering. Close friends. Just Killian and me in the backyard, popping a balloon or cutting a cake. Something understated, maybe even private. But the moment my father got wind of the idea, it spiraled into a full-blown event. Caterers, photographers, floral installations, a drone team—yes, a drone team. “This isn’t a merger,” I muttered under my breath as I walked through the estate’s garden, watching the staff string up pastel-colored lanterns. “It kind of is,” Killian said beside me, adjusting his tie. “A merger of DNA.” I shot him a glare, but couldn’t help smiling. Damn him. Even now, while I was hormonal and annoyed and bloated, he still found a way to make me laugh. Of course, my father was at the center of the chaos, giving orders and ensuring the media got “a glimpse of the future Scott heir.” I didn’t want this to

• Ruthless Temptation   Work-Life Balance Struggles

  Emma’s POV The irony of it all is that I fought so hard to keep Killian in my life, only to now struggle with feeling like we’re slipping away from each other. Not emotionally, no. He’s still my partner, still the one I glance toward in every meeting, still the man I trust more than anyone. But physically… intimately? Pregnancy doesn’t come with a manual for preserving desire. I stare at myself in the mirror before bed, hand instinctively resting on the growing swell of my belly. The woman staring back at me is softer. Rounder. More exhausted than she wants to admit. I’ve always been so polished—flawless makeup, heels that clicked like power with every step. Now I live in oversized shirts and struggle to stay awake past nine. Killian walks in, tie loosened, his expression tired but affectionate. “Hey,” he says softly, eyes flickering to my bare legs. “You look beautiful.” I don’t fee

• Ruthless Temptation   The Announcement

  Emma’s POV I never thought a single sentence could feel so heavy. “I’m pregnant.” Two words. Three syllables. Yet it felt like I had just thrown a live grenade into the middle of my father’s pristine office. He stared at me across his desk, expression unreadable. My fingers curled into the fabric of my blouse, hiding the slight swell beneath. He hadn’t noticed it before—hadn’t pieced together the extra breaks I took, or how I avoided coffee and alcohol at events. But now… now the truth hung in the air, undeniable and irreversible. “You’re what?” he said, voice low and dangerously calm. I swallowed. “Pregnant, Dad. I’m pregnant. Killian and I are expecting.” The silence that followed could’ve cracked glass. His jaw flexed. “And you’re telling me this now because…?” “Because I wanted to be sure. Because it’s our life—not yours. And because I

• Ruthless Temptation    Big Decisions

  Emma’s POV It was like a switch flipped in my brain. One moment, I was just Emma—the boss’s daughter, the wife navigating corporate gossip, the woman still trying to shake off the label of “scandalous affair turned real.” The next, I was Emma, a woman growing life, carrying something precious inside of me. Every breath felt heavier. Every decision, more significant. “Should we tell your father?” Killian asked one evening, as we laid in bed, lights off, but the silence loud between us. I stared at the ceiling, fingers laced over my stomach. “No. Not yet. Not until I feel ready.” He nodded, turning on his side to face me. “What about work? People will notice eventually.” “I know,” I sighed. “I don’t want to deal with the stares. The whispers. They’ll say it was planned. That I trapped you.” His eyes darkened. “Let them talk. We know the truth.” “But they w

• Ruthless Temptation   A Real Pregnancy Twist

  Emma’s POV There was a certain irony in the way life delivered its curveballs—when everything finally seemed to settle into place, it unraveled in the most unexpected of ways. I stared at the tiny stick in my hand, the second one this morning. Two pink lines. Not faint, not questionable. Clear. Bold. Undeniable. Pregnant. The word didn’t even feel real. I sat on the cool marble floor of our bathroom, my silk robe pooling around me. My entire body felt like it had gone numb. And yet, somewhere in the back of my mind, a flurry of thoughts swirled—like leaves in a violent gust of wind. I was married. We were stable. Happy even. This shouldn’t be terrifying. But it was. Because this wasn’t part of the plan. Not now. Not while we were still fighting off the scandal of our past being leaked to the media. Not while Dad was still watching us like a hawk, waiting for us to mess

• Ruthless Temptation   An Unexpected Pregnancy Scare

  Emma’s POV It started with the smallest thing—a missed period. At first, I brushed it off. Stress, jet lag, long nights and even longer meetings… it could’ve been anything. But by day three, my confidence began to crack. Day five? I was panicking. I stared down at my calendar, then at the unopened pregnancy test sitting at the bottom of my Louis Vuitton tote like a ticking time bomb. I’d bought it in secret during lunch, wearing sunglasses and a scarf like I was hiding from the paparazzi. Because honestly? I felt exposed. Vulnerable. I wasn’t ready for this. We’d only just gotten married. We were still figuring out how to be partners outside of boardrooms and bedrooms. How would we handle a baby? Hell, did I even want one? My stomach twisted with guilt at the thought. I didn’t hate the idea… I just wasn’t sure. And Killian he deserved to choose. Not be b
