The CEO: My Baby's Father
They had engaged in an illicit affair.
All Penelope wanted was to forget about him. He probably didn't even remember her.
Penelope Adams had moved on, slowly building a moderate life and raising her six-year-old daughter, Shirley, far from the chaos of her past. A past that included one reckless night with a powerful stranger she never thought she'd see again.
But fate had other plans.
When Penelope lands a job at one of Alabama's top interior designing firms, she’s stunned to discover the new CEO is none other than Calvin Dawson, the man she gave her body to... and the father of her daughter.
He doesn’t remember her – or so she thinks.
Caught between a web of deceit, corporate politics, and a scandal that could destroy both their careers, Penelope must do everything to keep her secret buried.
But when Shirley is kidnapped by someone targeting Calvin, Penelope is forced to reveal the truth, shattering the fragile balance of their lives. Now, they must work together not only to bring Shirley back, but to uncover who wants to destroy them – and why.
Because what began as a one-night affair…
Might have been a setup from the very beginning.

Chapter: CHAPTER 33: The Quiet Between ThemThat afternoon carried a strange stillness after the conference meeting.Dawnat remained its usual machine of clicking keyboards, distant phones, hurried footsteps and murmured conversations.But inside Calvin’s office? Something felt stiffer. Not stiffer, per say, but a bit heavy.Penelope felt it more the longer she stayed there.She was currently trying to rush up the project she had with Calvin, so she could prepare for the huge one oncoming.But once in a while, she glanced at Calvin.His attention seemed…drifting. It reminded her of that day he spoke about meeting his parents or so.What was bothering him now?Twice, she caught him staring absently at the same page of his file. She knew it was the same page, because it was the same diagram she had been seeing on the previous page, that was turned to her, for a while now. Calvin Dawson was not a man who lost focus. He was someone who could sack someone for even losing focus.Her fingers tightened slightly around the file she he

Chapter: CHAPTER 32: A Big OneDays passed in the city of Birmingham. Everyone was up for their work and business. And in Dawnat, the energy was twice that.Phones rang endlessly, the staff hurried through the hallways carrying files and tablets.Even Wilson looked mildly stressed, which Penelope was beginning to believe was biologically impossible.“What’s happening?” she asked as she walked into the design department with her coffee.Wilson looked up from his laptop dramatically, “Chaos. Absolute chaos!”Penelope blinked with a slight chuckle, “That explains absolutely nothing.”“A new luxury contract,” he lifted a brow.Penelope paused, “Oh?”Wilson leaned back in his chair.“Massive project. Some billionaire family just purchased a historic property in Chicago and wants Dawnat to redesign the entire interior before winter.”Her brows lifted immediately, “Chicago?”“Yup.” He pointed toward the conference rooms. “The senior design teams have been scrambling since morning.”Penelope nodded slowly, sipping her coff

Chapter: CHAPTER 31: Weight in His EyesBy the time Calvin Dawson arrived at Dawnat, the afternoon sun had already stretched across the city in pale gold ribbons.The office floor was still busy, focused on whatever task they had.But Penelope?Penelope had checked the clock so many times that her neck had begun to hurt.What exactly was she doing?Penelope frowned at her computer screen, pretending sudden interest in spreadsheets, so as to keep her eyes from the clock. But then, her eyes could just stray down to check the time on the computer screen.She didn’t understand herself at all.All morning, Calvin’s absence had sat strangely in the back of her mind.It was as if she was noticing missing background music you didn’t realize you’d gotten used to.It was so weird. And she definitely did not feel relieved when she suddenly heard familiar footsteps approaching down the hallway.Definitely not.The office door opened moments later. And Calvin walked in.Her eyes snapped up. Great. He was here. And now oxygen had run aw

Chapter: CHAPTER 30: The Dawson Heir 2The Dawson family mansion loomed ahead of Calvin. He was home. But it did not feel like a home.He felt like he was walking through a historically important structure, wrapped in marble and gold.As Calvin’s car rolled past the enormous iron gates, his jaw tightened slightly. The estate stretched endlessly ahead, manicured gardens gleaming beneath the pale morning sun while towering fountains spilled water with almost proud elegance.Trust his parents to make a show of their home. It looked so Victorian, beautiful …and worrisome .The mansion itself stood like a monarch overlooking its kingdom, all ivory stone and massive windows.He remembered when he taught Vanessa how to ride a bike on this vast space. A smile flickered on his lips. Such good times.Calvin stepped out of the car smoothly, adjusting the sleeve of his black coat as one of the staff hurried to greet him.“Welcome back, Mr. Dawson.”He nodded and walked into the grandeur.The interior was exactly as he remembered. High

Chapter: CHAPTER 29: The Dawson HeirPenelope woke up with a violent jerk. Her eyes flew open. For two horrifying seconds, she had absolutely no idea where she was.Then reality crashed back in. Office, desk, Dawnat, Calvin.Oh dear God.Her spine straightened immediately and she nearly knocked over her computer in panic. The office lights had dimmed considerably, leaving only the warm glow of desk lamps and the storm-muted city outside.And directly across from her, Calvin Dawson sat watching her.Penelope froze. Her heartbeat malfunctioned instantly. Ghost! What sort of man was this?!“…How long was I asleep?”Calvin glanced briefly at his watch, “Twenty-three minutes.”“That’s oddly specific.”“You drool when you sleep.”Her soul exited her body, “What?!”A faint smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.“Relax. I’m joking.”Penelope stared at him in shock, “That wasn’t funny.”“It was a little funny.”She narrowed her eyes at him before rubbing her face tiredly. The clock on the wall made her stomach drop. 9:47 PM.

Chapter: CHAPTER 28: After HoursBy six-thirty in the evening, Dawnat had begun emptying out floor by floor. The once-busy office had slowly dissolved into quietness.And yet, Penelope Adams was still very much trapped inside Calvin Dawson’s office with approximately seventeen unfinished reports and a rapidly dying will to live.She stared blankly at her screen. Then at the spreadsheet. Then back at the screen again.“…I hate numbers,” she muttered.“You’ve said that three times in the last hour.”Her soul nearly evacuated her body. Penelope spun around sharply to him.Calvin looked up from his desk without even blinking, one hand still flipping through documents.“You are like a ghost,” she accused.“That sounds like a you problem.”Her lips twitched. So unfair. This man shouldn’t be capable of humor. Not after ruining her peace daily.Outside the massive windows behind him, rain poured heavily over the city now, turning the skyline blurry and silver. Occasional thunder rumbled faintly in the distance.Very cinemati

The Temporary Mrs. Wade
Rosa never imagined that her quiet, ordinary life would be turned upside down by colliding with a billionaire. Literally.

Chapter: CHAPTER 130: A Perfect OneWhen morning came, Rosa woke up to sunlight filtering through the curtains, painting the suite in pale warm gold. For a moment, she laid still, listening. She could hear the steady rhythm of Alexander’s breathing on her, with his arm warm and secure around her waist.She turned slightly, studying his face as he slept. In daylight, the sharp edges softened. The man who carried the world on his shoulders looked peaceful, almost boyish. Her lips curved into a soft smile.Last night had changed everything.Not just the wedding. Not just the marriage, but her father.The thought made her chest tighten all over again.Alexander stirred when she shifted. His eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the light, then focused on her.“Good morning, Mrs. Wade,” he murmured, his voice hoarse with sleep.She laughed softly. “Good morning, Mr. Wade.”He pulled her closer, pressing a lazy kiss to her forehead. “You okay?”She nodded. “I think so. Just… processing.”He brushed his thumb along her arm. “Today

Chapter: CHAPTER 129: Love in BlushesThe moment the door shut behind Corey and Javin, the suite fell into a rare kind of silence. A soothing one.Javin walked Corey down the hallway, speaking softly, giving directions, making sure he was settled into his room for the night. Corey followed him with a grateful heart, still dazed by everything that had happened.At the door to his room, Corey paused.“I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you,” he said, voice thick with emotions.Javin smiled faintly. “You already have. You showed up.”Corey nodded, emotion clogging his throat. With one last look down the hall toward where Rosa was, he entered his room, closing the door gently behind him.Javin lingered for a moment, exhaled, then turned and walked away.Back in the suite, Rosa stood still, with her hand still loosely curled in Alexander’s. Her emotions had finally begun to settle, leaving behind a soft, trembling afterglow. Joy, shock, relief, love, all tangled together.Alexander watched her closely.She looked different now.

Chapter: CHAPTER 128: Welcome Back The most fun part of the wedding? The wedding night, of course.But tonight, a surprise awaited them, one that would have to halt the icing of the cake. The wedding night.Rosa and Alexander had retired to their suite, laughing over the silly jokes they kept making.Rosa came out of the bathroom and moved toward the window, wearing her robe. She chuckled softly. It was a night robe Nicole had personally chosen for her.Her wedding dress had been carefully stored away. Her hair was loose now, falling freely over her shoulders. She held a glass of water in her hands but hadn’t taken a sip.Alexander stood a few steps away, watching her quietly. When she turned and met his gaze, he winked at her, making her cheeks flush red.But there was more on Alexander’s mind than what Rosa imagined. He had known this moment would come. He had planned it, yet knowing didn’t make it any easier.A soft knock sounded at the door.Rosa frowned. “Who could that be?” she asked lightly. Who would disturb t

Chapter: CHAPTER 127: I Do“It's finally fifth! I thought we would have to wait the whole year!” Claire exclaimed while brushing her teeth.Mrs. Dill looked at her. “Be fast and come and assist us in getting things ready.”The girl pouted. “Although I'm not happy that Ma'am Rosa couldn't convince you enough, I'm still glad. She gave me some clothes, Mom! Like the type Beyonce wears.”Frances sighed, shaking her head. Who had Claire, had a bundle of trouble.“Mom!”Frances heard her daughter call and she sighed again. Whenever her daughter entered talking mode, they wouldn't hear the end of it.“Who's her bridesmaid?”“Nicole.”“Ouu, that's nice. But, Mom. Don't you think my dress should be purple. Why sky blue?”The day of the wedding had arrived.The sky over New York was pale blue, clean and calm, as if the city itself had decided to behave. The wedding was to take place on the beach, and one could see the stretch of the ocean. Its waves brushed the shore in slow, gentle rhythms. The beach had been closed s

Chapter: CHAPTER 126: Arrival of FamilyThe city of New York was restless. Well, did it ever rest? It moved faster than usual, as though it knew something big was coming. And sure it was.Headlines whispered it, billboards hinted at it and social media screamed it. Alexander Wade was getting married to Rosa Hamon, on September fifth. Not just married. Married again, for real this time.The news traveled like fire. From office buildings to cafés, from taxis to apartments. People talked, speculated and waited. It was being called the wedding of the century.And weeks before the ceremony, the city began to receive guests.Rosa stood by the large window of the living room, watching cars line up at the front of the mansion. Her heart beat faster with every passing second.“They’re here,” she whispered.Alexander walked up behind her, resting his hands on her shoulders. “Are you nervous?”She chuckled. “No. I just can't wait to meet them again."He smiled. “They are just seconds away."Outside, the first car door opened.Nardine

Chapter: CHAPTER 125: Have A ConfessionThe night had fully claimed the mansion and everyone slept in soft silence, except Alexander.Rosa slept peacefully on the bed, with one arm tucked beneath the pillow and her breathing slow and even. Her face was relaxed, free of worry or any thoughts. The soft lamp beside the bed cast a gentle glow across her features.Alexander sat on the edge of the bed, his back against the headboard as he watched her for a moment, his chest tightening with affection.She looked so beautiful.He brushed a strand of hair away from her face, careful not to wake her. She stirred slightly, murmured something unintelligible, then settled again. Alexander smiled faintly. He could watch her all night.Then his phone vibrated and he glanced at the screen. Javin. His expression immediately shifted.Carefully, Alexander slipped out of bed, moving slowly so the mattress wouldn’t dip too much and wake up Rosa.He pulled on a shirt, grabbed his phone, and stepped out onto the room's balcony, closing the glass
