Sleeping With My Billionaire Step-Brother
Fiona vanished ten years ago, walking away from her billionaire father, his new wife, and the stepbrother she refused to meet. She built a new life, married a man she trusted, and created a company from nothing—until the night she walked in on her husband and best friend in bed together.
Devastated, she escaped to a bar, where one reckless kiss with a stranger led to a night of passion she could never forget.
She never expected to see him again.
She definitely didn’t expect him to be Rafael Velmera, her powerful new boss… and the stepbrother she never met.
Neither of them knew the truth that night.
Now, they are trapped in a world of secrets, betrayal, and a desire they should never feel. But Fiona is hiding more than just her name. She’s hiding a child… and a war is coming.
Because the night she gave in to him didn’t just destroy her morals, It destroyed the lie her entire life was built on.
And what she’s about to discover will change everything.
What if the man she’s forbidden to love… is the only one who has ever truly been hers?

Chapter: Chapter TwentyRafael:I watched her taillights disappear around the corner, my hands clenched into fists at my sides. The Camry's engine noise faded into the distance, taking with it the only woman who'd ever made me lose control."Fuck," I breathed, the word torn from somewhere deep in my chest."That went well," Marcus said from behind me, his tone dry as dust. "Really smooth, boss. I especially liked the part where you told her she was running scared. Women love that."I spun around to face him, my jaw tight. "Not now, Marcus.""When then? When she's three states away? When she's changed her name again and disappeared forever?" He leaned against the hood of my Rolls Royce, completely unbothered by my anger. "Because at the rate you're going, that's about ten minutes from now."Before I could respond, Dad's voice cut through the tension."Rafael." He stood in the doorway, his face grim. "Inside. Now."The command in his voice was absolute. I'd been raised to obey that tone without question, and e

Chapter: Chapter NineteenFiona:The box slipped from my numb fingers, landing with a dull thud on the concrete. I couldn't look at him. Couldn't breathe. The sight of Rafael standing there, blocking my only escape, made my chest burn with a rage so pure it felt like acid in my veins."Move your car," I managed to say. The words came out steadier than I felt. I didn't look at him, couldn't risk seeing whatever expression he wore. Pity would destroy me. Desire would be worse."Fiona, please." His voice was softer than I'd ever heard it, almost hesitant. "Just... give me a chance to explain. I can help you with this. I can talk to my father—our father—he listens to me."The vulnerability in his tone caught me off guard. This wasn't the predatory businessman who'd pinned me against his office wall. This was something else entirely."Help me?" I laughed bitterly, still not bending to pick up the box. "Like you helped me this morning when you told me I was legally dead? When you enjoyed watching me fall apart?"Som

Chapter: Chapter EighteenFiona:I pulled into the first coffee shop I saw, my vision blurred by tears that would not stop falling. The steering wheel was slick with sweat from my palms. My chest rose and fell in ragged gasps as I fumbled for my phone.“I won’t back down, I have to fight.” I thought as I typed for how to reverse a death certificate," The results loaded like a countdown to my execution. Each blue link felt like another nail in my coffin. I pressed the first one with the desperation of someone drowning."Death certificates can only be amended for clerical errors, not reversed for living persons previously declared dead."My stomach dropped. I clicked another link, my heart hammering against my ribs."Resurrection from legal death requires extensive court proceedings and may take years to resolve."Years. The word stabbed through me like a blade. I gasped and clicked frantically on the next result."Once a death certificate is filed and accepted, the legal presumption of death is nearly impossib

Chapter: Chapter SeventeenRafael:Rafael's hands pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window, his breath fogging the glass as he watched the Toyota Camry twenty floors below. Even from this distance, he could see her shoulders shaking."Shit," he muttered, his jaw clenching.The sight of Fiona breaking down in that pathetic car made something twist in his chest. Something he refused to acknowledge. She was hunched over the steering wheel like the weight of the world had finally crushed her, and he was the one who had delivered the final blow."Boss?" Marcus's voice cut through the silence. "You've been standing there for ten minutes."Rafael didn't turn around. "Have I?""Staring at the parking garage like it holds the secrets of the universe." Marcus moved closer, his footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. "Or maybe just watching a certain someone have a breakdown in a beat-up Camry.""I'm not watching anything.""Right. And I'm not your underpaid assistant who has to clean up after your emotional disasters.

Chapter: Chapter SixteenFiona:His words echoed in my head as I stood there, still pressed against the wall, watching him shuffle through papers like he hadn't just turned my entire world upside down. Again. My legs felt unsteady beneath me, and I had to force myself to breathe normally. The air in the office felt thick, suffocating, weighted with the implications of everything that had just happened.Rafael didn't look up from his desk. He had dismissed me so completely, so effortlessly, that I might as well have been invisible. The man who had just been pressed against me, who had been whispering filthy words I wanted to hear in my ear, was now the cold, calculating businessman once more. The transformation was so complete it made my head spin."Miss Delacruza." Marcus's voice cut through the fog in my brain. "I'll take you to your supervisor now. You need to learn how things work around here."I stared at him blankly. Miss Delacruza. The fake name felt like a foreign language, like he was speaking to som

Chapter: Chapter FifteenFiona:The fake identity card stared back at me like a mockery—my face trapped behind lies, my entire existence reduced to a fiction someone else had written. Fiona Delacruza. Even the name felt foreign on my tongue, like swallowing glass."Why do you like shouting? You need to calm down and listen." Rafael's voice cut through my rage like a blade, that infuriating control never wavering."And why do you keep telling me to calm down?" I wanted to laugh. Or scream. Or throw something at his perfect face. "You've erased me. You've literally erased who I am!"I kicked at the papers, sending them scattering further across the polished floor. Work permits, background checks, references—all lies. All carefully constructed deceptions that painted me as someone I'd never been."My name is Fiona Velmera," I spat, my voice cracking on the syllables that had defined me for twenty-four years. "I am a fucking Velmera. You don't get to take that away from me."Something flickered across Rafael's fa

Married To The Devilish Billionaire
She was running from her past. He was still mourning his. What happens when both come back from the dead?
After Samantha's world is shattered by a viral betrayal she never saw coming, the last thing she expects is a lifeline from the coldest man she’s ever met—David Smith. Ruthless, rich, and emotionally locked behind iron gates, David offers her a deal: marry him to fix his image, and in return, she gets her life back. No strings, no emotions, no expectations.
But Samantha isn’t the naive girl she once was. She knows better than to fall for a man who still wears the ghost of his ex like a second skin—especially when that ex is the same woman who once destroyed her in college.
Still, something unspoken brews between them. Something dangerously tender. Just when the ice begins to melt and Samantha thinks she might have found a home in his arms, the unthinkable happens: Kimberly—David’s dead ex, Samantha’s worst nightmare—walks back into their lives… very much alive.
And Samantha? She’s pregnant.
Now trapped between a man she can’t trust, a woman who haunts her every breath, and a secret growing inside her… Samantha must ask herself:
Was she ever more than a placeholder for the woman he couldn’t bury? Or worse—did he already know Kimberly was alive all along?

Chapter: Chapter Fourteen He looked at me like I was someone else.Someone long gone.His fingers hovered inches from my cheek, his eyes glassy and lost. He was not with me in that moment. He was somewhere else entirely. Some night in the past, some memory still clawing at him.“Kimberly,” he whispered again, barely breathing the name.The name slipped from his lips like it belonged there.My chest tightened, but I refused to let him see it.I could have screamed. I could have slapped him again. But instead, I took a small step back, keeping my face calm, even though everything inside me was cracking.“Wrong woman,” I said, my voice steady and quiet.I jerked awake, “Wow, I still re-lived it in my dream. David, you're a real jerk even showing up in my dream.” I thought as I tried to bury it this time. I won't allow him to destroy my entirety. I'm not allowing him to have an effect on my life. I'm not going to cry, I will pull myself together. Because if I shattered now, I would never stop falling.I glanced

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen I woke up feeling like I had not slept at all. My body was still, but my mind had been running the entire night. I could not stop replaying everything David had said to me. Every word from our fight echoed in my head like it was happening all over again.The orchid was still sitting on the table beside the bed. I stared at it for a while. It looked beautiful and full of hope when I placed it there yesterday. Now it just looked tired, like me.I could not stay in the house. I needed to escape the air, the walls, the silence. I needed space, so I grabbed my sweater and headed straight to the greenhouse.The moment I walked in, I took a deep breath. The scent of the soil, the leaves, and the faint smell of roses helped calm my nerves a little. I pulled on a pair of gloves and picked up a small pot that needed repotting. My hands went to work while my thoughts tried to stay quiet.I wanted to cry, but I refused to. I kept telling myself I was not weak. I did not need David’s validation. I

Chapter: Chapter Twelve "I'm getting plants for my apartment balcony. What are you doing here besides demolishing the local mean girls club?" "Buying supplies for my greenhouse restoration project.""Look at you, going all Martha Stewart." She grinned. "I approve. Though I have to say, it looks like David is rubbing off of you now. You look... I don't know, fiercer somehow.""Desperation will do that to a person.""Ah." Ella nodded sagely. "Speaking of desperation, how did you handle the whole drama with Vincent and your husband at the club?"My stomach clenched at the mention of my ex-fiancé's name. "I don't care! I think David still has him locked up.”"Good stuff! My friend, he deserves it and more, I wish he's locked there forever.”“I don't give a damn, girlfriend.”"Speaking of men, how's David now? Your husband, the cold and mysterious as the tabloids make him out to be?"I considered how to answer that. The truth was too complicated, too raw."He's definitely... Still complicated.""Oof.

Chapter: Chapter ElevenThe morning air carried the promise of change as I stood in the doorway of the greenhouse, watching David's sleek black sedan disappear down the driveway. His departure felt like the lifting of a weight I hadn't realized I'd been carrying. I could literally breathe freely in the house.I turned back to my sanctuary-in-progress, rolling up my sleeves with renewed determination. The afternoon sun streamed through the newly cleaned glass panels, casting rainbow prisms across the workspace I'd begun to create. This would be mine—the one corner of David's empire where I could exist without apology."Mrs. Smith?" Ann appeared at the entrance, carrying a tray with fresh coffee and pastries. "I thought you might need some fuel for your project."I smiled, genuinely grateful for her thoughtfulness. "Thank you, Ann. And please, when we're alone like this, just call me Samantha."She set the tray on an old potting table I'd rescued and scrubbed clean. "The supplies you ordered arrived this mornin

Chapter: Chapter TenSilence rode with us in the back of the limousine like a third passenger—unwelcome but impossible to evict. I stared out the window, the city lights blurring as we sped through the night. The diamond necklace felt heavy against my skin now, no longer an adornment but a collar, marking me as property. David's property. Or perhaps more accurately, a piece in his elaborate chess game of business and perception.I didn't glance his way. Wouldn't give him the satisfaction. The memory of Olivia's hands on him, possessive and familiar, burned in my mind. More than that, the casual way he'd allowed it—as if I myself were invisible.When the car pulled into the circular driveway of the mansion, David exited without a word or backward glance. His polished shoes crunched on the gravel, the sound diminishing as he strode toward the house, shoulders stiff beneath his tailored jacket.The driver opened my door. "Mrs. Smith."The title still felt foreign on my ears. A name borrowed, not earned. I th

Chapter: Chapter NineThe morning after everything happened was deafeningly quiet. The kind of quiet that crushes your lungs and makes every footstep sound like an accusation.I skipped breakfast. I wasn't hungry, and the thought of sitting across from either David or his mother made my stomach turn. Instead, I stayed in my room until past noon, pretending to read while staring at the same page for an hour.When a soft knock came at my door, I half-expected it to be Ann with some excuse to check on me. But it was neither Ann nor David who stood there.It was Marcus, David's personal assistant. Tall, professionally detached, with those rectangular glasses that made him look perpetually disappointed."Mrs. Smith," he said, voice deliberately neutral. "Mr. Smith requests your presence in his office."I almost laughed. Requests my presence. Like a summons from a king."What for?" I asked."I believe there's an event this evening he wishes to discuss."An event. Of course. Another performance for the cameras."
