Married to My Billionaire Baby Daddy
BLURB:
Sydney was just trying to find a father figure for her daughter. Zeke Forbes had everything: wealth, power, and legacy, except for the one thing he never knew he needed—her.
Desperate to help her daughter Michaela, who was being bullied at school for not having a father, Sydney agrees to an arranged marriage with Zeke.
He gave his mother one condition: his identity must remain a secret. As the heir to the powerful Forbes empire, Zeke believes women come for the money only.
But neither of them expected the past to catch up.
Years ago, Sydney was the victim of a horrific setup; her stepmother hired someone to violate her. But instead, she ended up in a stranger’s bed: Zeke’s.
That one night, which gave her Michaela, has changed her life ever since that day.
Years later, a familiar ring on her father-in-law’s finger sparks suspicion. A DNA test confirms the unthinkable: Zeke is Michaela’s father.
Then comes another shock: Zeke is revealed on live TV as the heir of the Forbes family.
Now, everything Sydney thought she knew crumbles.
Will she confront Zeke with the truth?
Will he admit what really happened that night?
And if he does… can she ever forgive him?

Chapter: Chapter 5: THE SHOCKWAVESAt Karyn’s Restaurant, sunlight streamed through the large windows, casting a soft golden glow over the table where Sydney sat with Derek and Michaela. The late afternoon air was warm and laced with the scent of fresh bread and roasted herbs. Michaela, legs swinging beneath her seat, focused intently on the colouring page given to her by the waitress.Derek watched them both, a bittersweet ache twisting in his chest. Michaela didn’t recognize him; she had only ever heard his voice over phone calls and video chats from overseas. Now, she sat across from him, a little older, a little wiser, and already trying to navigate the harsh realities of childhood.As they waited for their order, the conversation drifted into deeper waters.“Michaela needed a father figure,” Sydney said softly, her voice laced with determination. “She was being bullied at school. Some of the kids said things… cruel things.”Derek looked down at his hands, the words catching in his throat.“I couldn’t bear to see

Chapter: Chapter 4: TOO LATE TO TAKE His expression shifted, confused, uncertain. “Sydney… Are you… married?”She looked down, startled. “Oh, this,” she said, fiddling with the band. “I forgot to take it off. I wouldn’t want people asking too many questions.”Derek didn’t speak. He stared at her, as if trying to process a truth he never imagined.She could almost hear the heartbreak in the stillness between them.Someone had got there first.Derek had harboured a quiet crush on Sydney since their university days. Through shared ideas, group outings, and late-night study sessions, he had always hoped, prayed even, that someday, Sydney might look at him differently. Not as a friend. But as someone who could mean more.Yet, that day never came.To Sydney, Derek had always been a gentle friend. The reliable shoulder. The one who listened without judgement. She trusted him with her secrets, her fears, even her dreams, but not this one. Not the marriage. Not even Helena, her sister, knew. Only her five-year-old daughter had b

Chapter: Chapter 3: FORCED PROXIMITY “Oh, don’t worry, sweetheart,” Grace chimed in, beaming. “Zeke will come help you move.”Zeke shot his mother a sharp glance, but Grace ignored it completely. Her eyes sparkled with mischief and triumph.Sydney gave a soft laugh. “That’s kind of you, but I think I can manage.”Still, the thought of Zeke stepping into her small two-bedroom home made her nervous. It wasn’t much, but to her and Michaela, it was everything.As they stepped outside the hall, Sydney exhaled. She had told Michaela the night before:“Your new dad will join us soon. Our family is going to be whole.”Her daughter’s eyes had lit up with joy.That joy alone was worth every ounce of this uncertainty.Zeke leaned in and pressed a light kiss to his mother’s cheek.“I will see you during the weekend,” he murmured, not looking at Grace but speaking the words for someone else.Sydney.But his gaze never drifted in her direction. He couldn’t bring himself to.Grace, ever perceptive, caught it. The words were coldly disg

Chapter: Chapter 2: THE TITLE From across the waiting area at City Hall, Zeke Forbes let out a sharp breath, having overheard his mother’s side of the conversation. His jaw tightened, eyes still glued to the screen of his phone.“She’s already making excuses,” he muttered under his breath.For months, his mother had been relentless, praising Sydney’s kindness, her poise, and her strength. He had agreed to the arrangement only to stop the endless pressure to go on blind dates and business mergers disguised as introductions.Now here he was, suited up for a forced marriage, although it came with a condition: she must not know his real identity. He wasn’t expecting love, but he did expect punctuality.Thirty minutes later, a cab pulled up outside the city hall.Sydney stepped out, freshly dressed in a soft blue dress that hugged her figure modestly. Her curls were still damp from the quick shower she had taken, and her cheeks were flushed from rushing.She spotted Grace waiting near the marble steps and approached w

Chapter: Chapter 1: REVERSED EVIL “You’re a wh*re. Get out. We don’t want to see you here again,” Katherine hissed, her voice sharp as shattered glass. She shoved Sydney and her younger sister Helena toward the door, her perfectly manicured hand clutching Sydney’s arm with surprising strength.Helena stumbled, catching herself against the doorframe. “Please, we have nowhere else to go—”Katherine’s eyes narrowed. “I said get out. And don’t ever come back to this house.”The door slammed behind them with a finality that made Sydney’s chest cave in.…“Ouch!”A car sped past, splashing cold, dirty water onto her skirt. Sydney blinked hard as the sting of reality brought her back. She was standing outside her daughter’s school, waiting for a cab to head to City Hall for her marriage entry. Twelve years ago, after her mother died of cancer, everything changed. Her father remarried Katherine, his secretary. A woman with a painted smile and poison in her heart. Katherine came with a daughter, Bonnie, and quickly made it cl
