SCANDAL IN HIS BED
Dianne Blake, a strong and independent woman, faces public humiliation when she wakes up in a stranger’s bed—Roy Sinclair’s—on what should have been her wedding day. Betrayed by her ex-fiancé, Damian, and her former best friend, Chloe, Dianne is thrust into a whirlwind of scandal, heartbreak, and media scrutiny that threatens both her personal and professional life.
Determined to rebuild herself, Dianne leans on her supportive sister, Maya. Meanwhile, Roy Sinclair—the dominant and intimidating billionaire whose bed she mysteriously woke up in—finds himself intrigued by her resilience. Their early encounters are tense, marked by sharp words, ego clashes, and undeniable chemistry. Slowly, a slow-burn romance begins to unfold between them.
But their growing bond soon faces a greater challenge: Roy’s family. The Sinclairs, especially his mother and sister, openly reject Dianne. They view her as a scandalous outsider unworthy of Roy’s status, humiliating her during family gatherings and treating her with outright hostility. Their disapproval reopens fresh wounds for Dianne, threatening her already fragile sense of stability.
The situation worsens when Damian and Chloe resurface in her professional life, attempting to sabotage her work and revive the gossip surrounding her name. The office becomes a battleground of manipulation and silent warfare. When their attacks escalate, Roy intervenes decisively—removing Damian from a major project, confronting Chloe, and making it clear that Dianne is no longer a target.
Through late-night conversations, moments of unexpected vulnerability, and Roy’s unwavering support, their relationship deepens despite external pressure. Roy’s conflict with his family intensifies as he chooses Dianne over their expectations, adding emotional stakes to their journey.
In the end, Dianne and Roy fully embrace their feelings for each other. Their love—born from chaos, strengthened through betrayal, and tested by family rejection—emerges powerful, passionate, and unbreakable.

Chapter: CHAPTER 20 — BROKEN EDGES Roy left Dianne’s doorstep with a hollow ache in his chest, each step heavier than the last.He didn’t drive home—he dragged himself there, soaked, shivering, and emotionally drained.The moment he entered his bedroom, everything inside him snapped.He slammed the door, kicked off his wet shoes, grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the shelf, and downed it like water. The burn barely registered. He poured another. And another. The numbness helped. The silence didn’t.He tried calling her.Once. Twice. Ten times.No answer.He stared at his screen, eyes bloodshot. “Dianne… please…” he whispered into the empty room, but the phone kept ringing and ringing without end.He sent messages.Voicemails.Everything he could think of.But nothing came back.He slid down the wall, the room spinning around him. “I’m losing her…” he choked.Meanwhile — Dianne’s ApartmentHer phone buzzed nonstop.Call after call.Message after message.Roy’s name lighting up her screen like a warning signal she couldn’

Chapter: Chapter Nineteen —The Memorial The Sinclair estate looked different that morning—quieter, heavier, as though the walls themselves understood what the day symbolized. A soft drizzle had washed the driveway at dawn, leaving the air cold and clear, sharpening every scent, every sound.Inside the guest room, Dianne stood before the mirror, palms pressed to the wooden vanity. Her heart beat steadily—not out of fear this time, but because she knew something in her life was about to shift.And she was ready for it.She slipped into the gown Maya had sent up earlier—a deep, liquid gold with a slit that climbed mid-thigh, the fabric hugging her curves like it had been crafted solely for her body. Her curls were styled in soft waves that cascaded down her back, the front pinned to reveal the full symmetry of her face.Her skin glowed—warm, soft, and flawless—thanks to the light shimmer she dusted across her collarbone. A pair of diamond-drop earrings framed her jaw gracefully. She finished with a soft, warm-toned lipstick th

Chapter: Chapter Eighteen —Break fast Morning light slipped softly through the large curtains, casting a pale gold glow across the room. The storm had passed, leaving behind a calm so gentle it felt unreal compared to the chaos of the previous night.Dianne woke first.For a moment, she didn’t move. She simply lay there, staring at the ceiling, aware of the steady, warm presence beside her. Roy was still asleep, turned slightly toward her but careful, even in rest, to keep a respectful space between them.His breathing was slow, calm… peaceful in a way she hadn’t seen before. Without the tension of dinner and expectation weighing on him, he looked younger—softer, almost vulnerable.Dianne studied him quietly.He really tried for me, she thought.A small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before she rolled slowly onto her back again.Roy stirred.His lashes fluttered, and then his eyes opened—sleepy, unfocused, then widening slightly when he realized where he was and that she was awake.“Oh.” He immediately shifted, g

Chapter: Chapter 17 — The Dinner The dining room was enormous, with high ceilings, golden chandeliers, and a polished table that gleamed under the soft light. Dianne couldn’t help but glance around nervously, taking in the opulent setting. Every chair had been placed with precision, every plate aligned perfectly. The Sinclair family was in their element, and she felt like an intruder.Roy walked beside her, his hand lightly brushing hers, a quiet anchor amidst the intimidating grandeur.“Remember,” he whispered just before they reached the table, “we stick to the plan. Keep it simple, polite, don’t react to anything… and stay close to me.”Dianne swallowed hard and nodded, smoothing the front of her dress.They sat.Almost immediately, Mrs. Sinclair began speaking, her voice a practiced mixture of pride and control. “Roy, darling, I hope you’ve told Dianne about Karen. Such a remarkable girl. Harvard, internships, the perfect socialite, fluent in three languages… and, of course, she can play the piano beautifully.”D

Chapter: Chapter 16—Preparing for the Memorial Dianne stood in front of her wardrobe, her fingers trembling slightly as she pushed hangers aside. She had attended weddings, birthdays, office events—nothing had ever made her this nervous. But walking into the Sinclair mansion pretending to be Roy’s girlfriend?That was a different story.She pulled out a simple but elegant wine-colored dress and laid it on the bed. It was modest, classy, and wouldn’t scream I’m trying too hard. Maya walked into the room at that exact moment and eyed the dress.“That’s the one?” Maya asked, arms folded.Dianne nodded. “I don’t want to look cheap or too loud.”“You won’t,” Maya said, softening. She stepped closer and adjusted the neckline. “You’ll look like a woman who knows her worth. That’s what matters.”Dianne smiled faintly, trying to breathe through her tension.Roy showed up at Dianne’s door, hands in his pockets, avoiding her eyes.“Dianne,” he began carefully, “I was thinking… maybe we should go shopping. Get you a few things for the memoria

Chapter: Chapter 15 — Lines Drawn, Lines Crossed The next morning carried a strange calm.Not peaceful—just quieter than the storm the sisters had survived the night before.Maya made breakfast without her usual commentary.Dianne moved around the kitchen with soft steps, trying not to disturb the fragile peace.They weren’t angry anymore.But the air still felt delicate.Like one wrong word could break the truce.When Dianne’s phone buzzed on the counter, both sisters looked at it.Roy.Good morning.Are you okay?Maya raised a brow. “Are you going to answer him?”Dianne hesitated. “Do you want me not to?”“I want you,” Maya said slowly, “to do what you want. Not what you think I want.”It was progress.Dianne breathed out, relieved.She typed back:Good morning. I’m fine.Thank you for checking.Almost immediately:May I see you today?Just for a few minutes.Her heart tripped.Maya’s eyes narrowed but she didn’t speak. She simply rinsed a plate, expression unreadable.Dianne typed:Maybe later. I’ll let you know.Roy responded wi
