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 ThirtyFiona;"Rise and shine, sleeping beauty!" Zoe's voice pierced through my skull like a knife. "Time for our morning jog!"I cracked one eye open and immediately regretted it. The morning light streaming through her bedroom window felt like someone was stabbing hot needles directly into my brain."Fuck off, Zoe," I groaned, pulling the pillow over my head. "I'm dying.""Come on, we do this every morning. Five AM sharp, remember?" She yanked the pillow away from my face. "Fresh air will cure that hangover.""I said fuck off." My voice came out as a croak. "Go without me.""Fiona, you promised we'd keep each other accountable. No excuses.""The excuse is that my head feels like someone took a sledgehammer to it." I turned away from her, curling into a ball. "Leave me alone.""Just get up and move around. You'll feel better once we start running.""Zoe, I swear to God, if you don't stop talking right now, I'm going to throw up on your favorite shoes."She stood there for another few second

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-NineRafaelThe elevator doors slid open to reveal my penthouse, but instead of the silence I expected, music drifted from the living room. I stepped inside, my jaw already clenching with irritation."Marcus!" I called out, loosening my tie as I walked toward the sound.I found him sprawled across my Italian leather sofa, a tumbler of my expensive whiskey in one hand and his phone in the other. He looked up when I entered, a lazy grin spreading across his face."Well, well. Look who finally decided to come home." Marcus raised his glass in mock salute. "How was your evening of stalking, Rafael? Did you at least manage not to get arrested this time?""What the hell are you doing in my house?""Drinking your whiskey and enjoying your view. This place really is spectacular at night." Marcus gestured toward the floor-to-ceiling windows that showcased the glittering cityscape below. "You know, for someone who spent a fortune on this penthouse, you barely spend any time here."I walked to the ba

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-EightFiona:The silence that followed Dustin and Paige's dramatic exit felt deafening. I stood frozen in the center of the gallery, my heart hammering against my ribs as thirty pairs of eyes studied me with varying degrees of curiosity, sympathy, and judgment."Well," Brenda Sterling announced loudly, breaking the uncomfortable quiet, "that was certainly more entertaining than most gallery openings I attend."A few people chuckled nervously. Others began moving toward the paintings again, though I could feel their stolen glances and hear the whispered conversations that followed their footsteps.Maya appeared at my side, her face flushed with concern and barely contained fury. "Fiona, I am so sorry. I had no idea this would happen.""It's not your fault," I managed, though my voice sounded hollow even to my own ears. "They have a talent for finding ways to humiliate me.""Are you kidding me?" Maya grabbed my arm, her eyes bright with excitement despite the circumstances. "Do you have any i

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-SevenRafael:The address burned in my mind as I parked across from the coffee shop. 1247 Melrose Avenue. Johnson's information had been accurate—there she was, visible through the large front window, sitting at a corner table with a brown-haired girl.My hands gripped the steering wheel as I watched Fiona lean back in her chair, actually laughing at something the other woman said. The sound didn't reach me through the glass, but I could see it in the way her shoulders shook, the way her face lit up.Have I ever seen her laugh like that?I stepped out of the Rolls Royce, my jaw clenched with determination. She had run from me twice now. This time, I would not let her slip away. This time, I would make her understand that we belonged together, that fighting this connection between us was pointless.But as I walked toward the coffee shop entrance, something stopped me cold.Fiona threw her head back, laughing so hard at whatever her companion had said that she had to wipe tears from her eyes.

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-SixFiona:I didn’t know what came over me, maybe too much anger, because the wine glass slipped from my fingers, shattering against the polished concrete floor in a spray of red wine. The sound interrupted the sophisticated murmur of conversation, drawing curious glances from my carefully curated guest list.Dustin's smile was predatory, the expression that had once made my teenage heart flutter and my adult life crumble. He stood in the doorway confidently, his expensive suit tailored to perfection, his wedding ring gone but replaced by something even more insulting: a watch I had bought him for our second anniversary."Well, well, well." His voice carried across the room with that familiar tone of condescending authority. "If it isn't my dear ex-wife, playing at being relevant again."The gallery fell silent. Every conversation stopped mid-sentence as dozens of pairs of eyes turned to witness what promised to be a spectacular public humiliation."Dustin." I forced his name past the sud

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-FiveFiona:The mattress beneath me felt like heaven compared to that rotting motel bed. I had finally slept deeply, but not dreamlessly.Warm sand between my fingers. Waves lapping at our feet. Rafael's laugh carried on the salt breeze as he pulled me closer, his eyes soft with something I had never seen there before. When he kissed me, his mouth tasted like ocean and promises. His hands traced my skin with reverence, not possession."Just us," he whispered against my throat. "Nothing else matters."The sun painted gold across his shoulders as he moved above me. I arched into his touch, my body singing with pleasure and something deeper. Something that felt like coming home. His name spilled from my lips like a prayer, not a curse."Perfect," he breathed against my ear, his voice rough with want. "You're so perfect."In that place where the sky met the sea, where we were just Fiona and Rafael, nothing more, nothing less, everything felt right.But consciousness was creeping back now, drag

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."
