Chapter: Chapter 9 Jess POV At Diaz Enterprises The office was sleek, modern, and intimidating. After a brief orientation, I was shown to my desk and began learning the software I’d be using. I focused hard, trying to drown out the unease in my chest. But then I heard her voice. “Miss Moore, my boss would like to see you.” I froze. My stomach dropped. “Already?” I whispered, but the woman simply nodded, waiting for me to follow. Heart pounding, I stood and walked with her down the long hallway. The glass walls gleamed, reflecting the weight of my nerves. When we reached the large office door, she pushed it open. Inside, a tall, broad-shouldered man stood by the window, his back to me. He exuded power, the tension in the room thick as he stared out at the city below. “Mr. Diaz,” the woman said softly. “She’s here.” Slowly, he turned. And I froze. Gray eyes met mine, sharp and piercing. I felt the air leave my lungs, my chest tightening painfully. No. This can’t be real. Bu

Chapter: Chapter 8Dominic I sat in my office, staring at the mountain of paperwork in front of me, but none of it mattered. The only thing I could think about was her. Those fucking hazel eyes. They weren’t just in my head—they were burned into me, running wild in my thoughts, clouding every shred of focus I had. I drummed my fingers on the desk, frustration mounting. Who the hell was she? How do I find her? Then it hit me—the interview. Snatching the phone, I punched in Samantha’s extension. “Get in here. Now.” A knock on the door barely registered before Samantha walked in. “They make a decision on that position yet?” I asked, voice sharp. She shook her head. “They’re still narrowing it down.” I leaned forward. “There was a woman here yesterday,” I said, my voice lower now, gritting the words. “Hazel eyes. Almond skin. Who is she?” Samantha’s lips curled into a knowing smirk. “I remember her. Jessie Moore.” Jessie.

Chapter: Chapter 6Dominic’s POV After leaving the office, I was done for the morning. No meetings, no calls nothing could keep me from handling this. I drove straight to the Foster house, my grip tightening on the steering wheel with each passing block. I didn’t even bother going home to clean up. Maybe I could use that as an excuse to leave early anything to get out of the trap they’d set for me. As I pulled into the driveway, Leo, my right-hand man, was already waiting. He opened the SUV door without a word, his eyes scanning me like he could feel the fury rolling off me. “You good?” he asked. “No,” I said flatly. “Stay close.” I entered the house, my footsteps heavy on the polished floors. The air smelled like some cheap attempt at a fancy meal. It reeked of desperation. The second I walked in, Hayley came running, her heels clicking against the floor. “Hey, baby!” she squealed, wrapping herself around me like a damn snake. I didn’t move. Didn’t hug her back. Her perfume was cho

Chapter: Chapter 5 Jess POV As i turn in my bed i could feel jumping on the bed mommy mommy goggles kisses splash all over my face i I opened my eyes to see Liam, his little hands patting my face. His messy curls framed his chubby cheeks, and his wide grin made my heart melt. “Morning, sweet boy,” I whispered, pressing kisses all over his face, making him squeal with laughter. “Thank you for waking Mommy up.” Moments like this made everything worth it. But the peace didn’t last long. The bedroom door creaked open, and Ava breezed in, all smiles and energy. “Rise and shine, Jessie! It’s your big day — interview time!” I groaned, throwing the blanket over my head. “Don’t remind me.” Ava yanked the blanket back. “Oh no, you’re not hiding today. You’ve worked too damn hard for this.” She wasn’t wrong. Three years ago, my life took a turn I wasn’t ready for. One reckless night with a stranger left me pregnant, scared, and convinced my future was slipping away. I was alone, terrified, and barely

Chapter: Chapter 4Dominic Diaz Twenty six. Tech millionaire. The only son of the infamous Carlos Diaz a name that opened doors, commanded respect, and left chaos in its wake. And me? I’m next in line to take over the family empire. Not that I give a damn. The family business is all politics, handshakes, and backroom deals with strings attached. But the worst part? The marriage deal my father struck with the Foster family. I barely had a say. He’d picked out the “perfect” girl for me Hayley Foster. Biggest mistake of my life? Sleeping with her once. One night. That’s all it took for her to start calling herself my fiancée. She’s a nightmare wrapped in designer clothes, convinced that one hookup gave her the right to waltz into my life and claim a title she’ll never have. What a mess. I was standing by my office window, staring at the skyline when Leo walked in. My right hand man. Loyal, efficient, and annoyingly punctual. “Here’s the file you requested, sir,” he said, setting a thic
