The Billionaire's secret baby bride
Five years ago, Isabella Reyes walked away from the only man she ever loved—Alexander Knight, the ruthless billionaire who shattered her heart. She left with nothing but her pride… and a secret she swore she would never reveal.
Now, with her family’s company on the verge of collapse, Isabella has no choice but to return to the city she fled. Desperate for a lifeline, she finds herself face-to-face with the one man she vowed never to see again.
Alexander hasn’t forgotten her. He hasn’t forgiven her either. Cold, powerful, and more dangerous than ever, he offers her a deal: marriage. On his terms. For his revenge.
But Isabella is hiding more than scars from the past—she’s hiding their son, a bright little boy with Alexander’s storm-gray eyes. And when the truth comes out, the billionaire who vowed never to love again will stop at nothing to claim what’s his.
A marriage of convenience. A love that refuses to die. A secret that could destroy them both.
Will Isabella protect her heart and her child, or will Alexander’s obsession consume them all?

Chapter: The Weight of DawnIsabella’s POVThe morning came with a cruel kind of stillness — the kind that arrives after a storm, when everything feels too quiet, too heavy, too real. The city below was wrapped in mist, the streets glistening with the remnants of last night’s rain. From the penthouse balcony, I could see the skyline shrouded in pale light, the clouds drifting lazily like exhausted ghosts.I stood there barefoot, one of Alexander’s shirts hanging loosely off my shoulder. The air was cold, sharp with the scent of wet asphalt and salt. But the ache in my chest was warmer — heavy, human, and hollow all at once.He hadn’t said a word since he came back last night. I’d washed the blood from his hands myself — crimson stains that refused to leave, no matter how long I scrubbed. And when his trembling fingers touched my face afterward, I realized it wasn’t just blood that clung to him — it was guilt.He was still asleep, sprawled across the bed, his chest rising and falling with uneven breaths. But even

Chapter: The Storm Before the DawnThe night sky was a chaotic swirl of thunder and rage. Rain hammered down on the glass windows of the penthouse, the storm outside echoing the turmoil that churned in Alexander’s chest. He stood by the balcony, hands gripping the railing so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Every flash of lightning illuminated his face — sharp, angry, and haunted.He had just returned from the underground council, and the news had been nothing short of disastrous. His enemies were closing in. Betrayal was spreading through his ranks like poison, and for the first time in years, Alexander felt the ground beneath him tremble.The sound of soft footsteps reached him. Isabella appeared in the doorway, dressed in one of his shirts — her bare legs peeking out beneath the hem, her hair slightly damp from a shower. Even now, she looked breathtakingly calm, though her eyes carried that knowing sadness she often wore when he was troubled.“Another bad night?” she asked gently.Alexander didn’t turn to her

Chapter: Ashes of Evolution Alexander’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, the world was burning.The air was thick with smoke and metal. My ears rang with the echo of something far away — alarms, gunfire, screams maybe — but everything sounded muffled, distant, like I was underwater.My body ached. My ribs felt shattered. There was blood — mine, probably — streaked across the concrete beside me. I pushed myself up, blinking through the haze. The underground chamber was gone, replaced by chaos. Walls torn apart, sparks raining from ruptured cables. The core chamber had exploded, leaving a crater of molten glass where the helix once stood.And in the middle of that wreckage… Sable stood.Alive. Changed.Her skin shimmered faintly under the glow of dying lights, veins pulsing with faint gold luminescence. Her eyes weren’t human anymore — they were molten, bright like twin suns that saw too much. She looked both alive and unreal, something made, not born.Her voice was calm, eerily so. “You survived. I expected nothing les

Chapter: The Gathering of Shadows Sable’s POVThe vault doors closed behind me with a hiss of compressed air.The room was silent except for the rhythmic hum of the cryo-tanks that lined its walls. Each one glowed faintly blue — like frozen hearts waiting to beat again.I stood in the center, dressed in black, my hair slicked back from the rain. In front of me stood six figures — the Council.The ones who had once ruled the world through whispers and bloodlines.Dr. Voss, the scientist who’d perfected the serum.Elara, the woman who’d built the Order’s financial empire through shell companies and wars.Malik, the soldier who believed in chaos as evolution.And the others — ghosts of power, faces half-hidden by the holographic mist that separated us.“It’s been a long time,” Voss said, his voice rasping like old paper. “We thought you were dead.”I smiled faintly. “Death is inconvenient. Irrelevant. Especially when it comes to those who refuse to stay buried.”Elara tilted her head. “The facility burned, Sable. The arc

Chapter: Shadows of the New DawnSable’s POVThe helicopter sliced through the night sky like a black blade.I sat in the rear seat, eyes fixed on the monitor in front of me — a single flashing symbol: the serpent insignia of the Order, flickering like a heartbeat.“Data core transfer at ninety-eight percent,” the technician said nervously beside me. His hands shook as he worked. “We salvaged everything from the facility before the explosion, ma’am. The genetic archives, the experiment files, and—”“The blood records?” I interrupted.He hesitated. “Yes. Kane’s full genome. Including the prototype sequence.”A slow smile curved my lips. “Good. Then the bloodline survives.”Outside, lightning split the horizon, briefly illuminating the burned ruins below. The fire was dying, but from its ashes, my empire would rise again.They thought they’d buried the Order. They thought fire could cleanse sin.But sin, like blood, never truly burned away.“Set course for Zurich,” I ordered. “Prepare the lab. Phase Two begins now.”Th

Chapter: Bloodline of the Serpent Alexander’s POVThe storm came before dawn.Thunder cracked over the city, rolling through the ruins like a growl from something ancient. I stood by the window of the safehouse, staring at the rain as it washed away the blood on the streets — as if it could erase what we’d done.But I knew better. Blood like ours didn’t wash off. It sank in. It claimed you.Behind me, Damian’s voice broke the silence. “We’ve traced the signal. The woman from the warehouse — codename Sable. She’s moving between three known facilities, all under ghost protocols. But one stands out.”I didn’t turn. “Where?”“North Ridge. Off-grid, old military base. Abandoned twenty years ago.”“Not abandoned,” I muttered. “Reclaimed.”He hesitated, then said quietly, “It matches your father’s old coordinates.”That made me turn. The look in his eyes told me he hated saying it as much as I hated hearing it.My father’s ghost had always been there — in every corridor, every scar, every whisper of who I used to be. But now
