The Enemy Took His Wife And Baby.
"You divorced me like I was nothing. Why do you care who I marry now?"
“Because I still love you, Alessia. And he’s my enemy.”
“You should’ve thought of that before you threw me away.”
Alessia Velez gave everything to her cold, ruthless husband, Roman Velez. On their fifth wedding anniversary, he handed her divorce papers without a word, never knowing she was pregnant.
She agreed to Zane’s fake marriage proposal for revenge but now Roman wants answers. And custody. And her heart, once again.
The past was built on betrayal, but the present is tangled in lust, lies, and secrets. Alessia is the ultimate prize and both men are willing to burn everything to claim her.
But what happens when the woman they both want has secrets of her own?
The war over love, legacy, and lies begins now.

Chapter: Roman failed. The late-afternoon light slanted through the tall windows of Zane’s office, striping the polished desk with gold and shadow. He sat in his leather chair, sleeves rolled back, pen poised above a column of numbers.Contracts that were dry, necessary, predictable. He liked predictable.The phone on the corner of his desk buzzed, the vibration sharp against the wood. He almost ignored it, until he saw the name flashing on the screen.Roman Velez. His hand froze mid-note, pen tip bleeding a small pool of ink onto the page. He wondered why Roman would call him. Or why he had his direct line. He picked up, his tone clipped. “Roman.”“We need to meet.” Roman’s voice was calm, deliberate. The kind of calm that meant trouble.Zane leaned back slowly, weighing the sound of it. “I’m busy.”“You’ll make time.” A pause. “It’s about Alessia.”A muscle jumped in Zane’s jaw. Roman had a way of saying her name like it was still his to claim, like the divorce hadn’t happened, like the ink on the cust

Chapter: You are losing her. The automatic doors hissed open, letting in the faint smell of antiseptic and something sharper that made Alessia’s stomach turn. She hugged her bag closer, head down, trying to keep her breathing even. The ultrasound appointment wasn’t supposed to be a big deal. Just a routine check. Just her and the baby.Except… he was there.Roman leaned against the reception counter like he owned the place. Crisp suit, tie knotted too perfectly, dark hair pushed back as if he’d stepped out of some high-profile meeting just to taunt her. His gaze slid over her slow, deliberate, like she’d walked in wearing a dress made of glass.“Alessia,” he said, her name rolling out like a challenge.She didn’t stop walking. “What are you doing here?”“Coming with you.” He straightened, falling into step beside her. “It’s my child too.”A bitter laugh threatened, but she swallowed it. “You weren’t invited.”His jaw flexed. “I don’t need an invitation.”The nurse called her name, and before Alessia could shut hi

Chapter: Zane’s insane! The city was turning dark, neon buzzing on like it couldn’t wait. Rain threatened somewhere up high, thick air smelling like wet concrete. Zane kept his cap low, his face shadowed. Across the street, Roman’s glass tower stabbed into the sky, cold and ruthless. It swallowed everything.Inside, marble floors gleamed, the smell of leather and coffee thick in the air. People whispered deals, heels clicking, voices low but tense. Zane moved like a ghost—unseen, unwanted, stepping into Roman’s world.A hand on his shoulder made him turn. Sasha. Used to be Roman’s right hand with the law, now Zane’s secret weapon.“He’s desperate,” she said, voice tight, like steel wrapped in silk. “Pushing through deals that’ll crush anyone in his way. Trying to squeeze us dry.”Zane’s eyes cut sharp. “Who’s in? When’s it done?”Sasha pulled out her phone, fingers fast. “The merger closes next week. And get this—Roman filed emergency custody papers. Fast track. No warning.”Zane felt ice crawl down his spin

Chapter: Belgrave. The next day. “I am being watched.” Zane muttered as he walked around his office. He cleared his throat and sat behind the large oak desk, reviewing contracts when an envelope slid silently under the door.He didn’t look up. Without hesitation, he reached down and picked it up. The envelope was heavy, unmarked, with no return address.With precise fingers, he tore it open and pulled out a stack of photos. The images were dark and grainy: a man lying face down in a rain-slicked alley, clothes soaked in blood. On the back of one photo, scrawled in rough handwriting, was a single word: Belgrave.Zane’s face tightened, but he didn’t flinch. The name Belgrave stirred memories he had buried deep memories he never intended to share with Alessia. The man in those photos was no ordinary threat. He was the ghost from Zane’s past, the man Zane had been hunting for years.Alessia’s father.Except Alessia believed her father was dead. She never knew the truth that Belgrave had disappeared, pre

Chapter: The night they fucked. Back at home.The door to the shower clicked shut behind Alessia and the hot water roared to life, steam curling thickly around the white tiles. She stood beneath the spray, hands pressing hard against the cool tile wall as if she could push the weight of the day away. The media’s flashing cameras, the press’s sharp tongues, the ever-present pressure pressing on her chest — and underneath it all, the steady thrum of new life inside her. A life she barely felt ready to protect.The sound of a quiet knock pulled her from the fog of her thoughts. Lena’s voice came soft but firm.“Alessia, are you alright?”She wrapped a towel around herself and opened the door. Lena’s eyes flicked over her with a mix of concern and something else: steel beneath silk.“I’m tired,” Alessia whispered, hair dripping down her shoulders.Lena nodded slowly, stepping inside. “I know this isn’t easy. But you’re stronger than you think. Remember, Zane’s here. For you. And the baby.”Alessia managed a small, frag

Chapter: Realizing Zane might be too perfect. Alessia felt empty, her shoulders slumped. Her eyes had bags. The house around her felt less like a sanctuary and more like a battlefield. Every whispered rumor, every leaked story, every sideways glance carried the weight of the war she never wanted to fight.She stopped and turned to face Zane. His eyes were steady, as always controlled, like a man who built walls around his heart to keep the world out. But tonight, there was something else there. Exhaustion? Sadness? A flicker of doubt?“This isn’t your fight,” she said quietly, voice barely above the steady tick of the grandfather clock. “You can walk away. You don’t have to burn yourself down for me.”Zane’s gaze sharpened. “Don’t insult me like that.”Alessia swallowed hard, the lump rising in her throat heavier than usual. “I’m serious.”He stepped closer, voice low. “I don’t get to walk away from you.”She looked down, biting her lip. “I’m not the prize here. I’m the war.”“And I’m the soldier,” he said simply.The room was

Chapter: Blurred LinesLeonardOut of the substantial amount of fucked ups I've had in my lifetime, this is the worst. The absolute fucking worst. “I think you've had too many drinks tonight, Liv.”She laughs but there's no humor in it. “I fucking knew it. You lied to me!”She throws her arms in the air furious. “Everything we've had from the start was a lie, Olivia.”Not everything entirely but I don't add that. “God, I'm so stupid.” Her eyes are glassy as she tries to grab the door handle. I hate myself for it. But I do the exact opposite of what I know I should do. I stop her from leaving, I can't let her go. “Olivia,” I breathe. Her name is stuck on my tongue with no other words. What do I say to her? That I'm a fucking undercover agent that used her to get to her ex-fiancé? I'd hate me if I were her. “Let go of me.”Her jaws are tense, eyes heavy with rage in them.“I can't. Not like this.”I want to kiss her temple. Take back every hurt in her eyes. She doesn't deserve any of it. I'm the piec

Chapter: The perfect couple Leonard“Kill me,” I mutter underneath my breath as I lean a bit closer to Olivia. I had no idea of this party until this evening when I got her message. Olivia's father wanted us to be here by all means. I couldn't let her down. She owes me a fucking whole lot. The crystal chandelier above casts dancing shadows across the mahogany dining table as I adjust my tie. It's suffocating being here. Acting as Liam. It's different when I'm with Olivia. I get to be Liam and Leonard at the same thing. Sound crazy right? Maybe I'm going crazy already. I have more clones of myself than Spiderman has in different multiverse. I almost choke on a laugh at the thought of it. Olivia sits beside me . Her fingers wrapped around the stem of her wine glass, knuckles white with tension. Even in her anger, she's breathtaking. The emerald dress she wears brings out the fire in her green eyes, and I find myself stealing glances at the curve of her neck. The way her lips purse when she's trying to contain

Chapter: Investigating Liam. Olivia “What?” The coffee cup trembles in my hands as Emma leans forward across the small café table, her voice dropping to barely above a whisper. “I'm just saying, Olivia, don't you think it's strange how Liam never talks about his childhood? Or his family?"I set the cup down, the ceramic clinking against the saucer louder than I intend. “Not everyone's as open as you, Em. Some people are just more…private."Emma's eyes narrow slightly, and I catch that look she gets when she's determined to make a point. "Private is one thing. Evasive is another." She stirs her latte methodically, the spoon creating tiny whirlpools in the foam. "Last week at dinner, I asked him about his hometown, and he changed the subject so fast."Heat creeps up my neck. I had invited Emma and Liam for a casual dinner at my place. "Maybe he just didn't want to talk about it. Not everyone loves sharing their life story over appetizers.""Olivia." Emma reaches across the table and touches my wrist. “I car

Chapter: Dangerous GamesLeonardOlivia's body is warm against my palm as I flutter my eyes open. I have no idea when I got my arm around her after we had slept off. Her breaths are steady as I watch her for a moment. Lips parted in the tiniest space. I get the urge to kiss them but I stop myself. Last night was incredible but it doesn't change the dynamic of our relationship. No matter how dangerously intoxicating making love to her is. I can't have this situation messier than it already is. “Is there something on my face?” Olivia's eyes bulge out. She is awake now and looks terrified as her fingers run over her face. I laugh. “What?” “I caught you staring,” she replies. The ray of sun from her window makes her eyes glow. “Because you're so goddamn pretty, princess.”Her lips part but she doesn't speak. It's torture not having to lean in to kiss her. Taste every inch of her mouth. She moves her gaze away from me as she clears her throat. Our knees brush against each other under the covers. The tiny gr

Chapter: Lustful Desires with my fake fiancéOlivia “Christ.” Liam holds my waist with steady arms as we barely make it into my living room. His lips are all over my body. Fingers dangerously edging closer to my core. My gown is halfway across my legs and almost bunched up around my waist. I help him out of his jacket, needing to feel his bare skin. I've thought about this moment again more than a few times. His lips driving me crazy as we move further into the room. I wince in pain when my leg hits my sofa. Dammit. We're both of breath when we break the kiss. Stupid furniture. He looks like he is trying to fight something internally. "Olivia," he breathes. The sound he makes as my name falls from his lips causes aches in every part of me. “This…your rules,” he whispers. His voice husky and drenched in lust. I stare at the bulge in his pants. Only a tip gap between us. My fingers trail down his waist to feel his erection. "Fuck," he groans. “Damn the rules. I want you,” I whisper. His grey eyes glimmer with passion as

Chapter: Are you ready. The gravel crunches under Leonard's BMW as we pull into my father's circular driveway. My palms are slick with sweat despite the air conditioning, and I find myself smoothing my dress for the hundredth time. I slowly exhale, keeping my eyes forward. The familiar sight of the Georgian colonial house with its perfectly manicured hedges and imposing stone columns makes my stomach clench."Breathe, daisy," Leonard says, his hand finding mine across the console. His touch is warm and steady. A stark contrast to my trembling fingers. "It's going to be fine."I want to believe him, but he doesn't know my father the way I do. Fernandez Murray doesn't approve of anyone easily. And he certainly won't approve of my whirlwind engagement to a man he's never met. Or even knows. My father's sudden business trip was our excuse to avoid the dinner he requested the first time. It gave Liam and I more time to prepare. But I still don't feel quite ready. The diamond on my finger feels heavy as lead.
