BILLIONAIRE'S PREGNANT MISTRESS

BILLIONAIRE'S PREGNANT MISTRESS

When Naila wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of her past, she is told two shocking truths, she is five months pregnant and she is engaged to billionaire hotel heir Toby Anetakis. Toby claims to be her fiance, but yet he keeps her at arm’s length, his golden eyes filled with suspicion and restraint. He says she betrayed him, stole from him and lied to him. But Naila remembers none of it. As he takes her to his private island in Greece for recovery, buried emotions begin to surface with familiar touches, stolen kisses, and a dangerous chemistry her body remembers even if her mind does not. Yet the deeper truth is far more terrifying. Because Naila’s abduction was no accident. Now trapped between forgotten love, hidden enemies, and a baby that binds them forever, Naila must uncover the truth before her past returns to claim her. But when her memories finally return, will Toby still choose her? Or will the truth break them beyond repair?

Chapter: Chapter Six
TobyI leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly as I stared at the list of missed calls on my desk from my brothers Theron and Piers.They had tried calling me multiple times.They wouldn’t let this go.A muscle ticked in my jaw as I picked up the phone, already knowing this conversation would be unpleasant.There was no version of this situation that made sense to them, none of it made sense to me. The line rang once before Theron answered.“Toby.” His tone was calm.“How did the groundbreaking go?” I asked in Greek, keeping my voice even.“You disappear without any explanation, miss a major event, and that’s your first question?”. I didn’t respond.“I will add Piers to this call,” he continued. “You can explain everything once.”Before I could object, the line shifted and Piers didn’t waste time.“What the hell is going on?” he demanded. “You vanish, ignore calls, and now you are still in New York when you should be in London. Start talking.”I closed my eyes briefly, already feeli

NailaTwo days later, I sat stiffly in the wheelchair, my fingers gripping the edge of the blanket draped over my lap.The hospital had become safe, more familiar and predictable. And now I was leaving it behind for a life I couldn’t remember.For a man I didn’t truly know or couldn't even remember.My gaze drifted to Toby as he stood beside me, listening intently while the nurse gave instructions. His posture was rigid, his expression controlled, but there was an edge to him I couldn’t quite understand, possessive maybe. Like he was guarding something or someone and that someone was me. “Take it slow,” the nurse said gently, giving me a reassuring smile. “And don’t hesitate to call if you feel overwhelmed or feel like something is wrong or you need to talk.”That felt like an understatement when he said overwhelmed, I nodded anyway.Because what else could I do?Moments later, Toby’s hands closed around the handles of my wheelchair, and he began pushing me down the hallway.Each t

NailaI drifted somewhere between sleep and waking up, trying to open my eyes, trapped beneath a heavy fog that refused to lift.A soft groan slipped from my lips as awareness began to return.I didn’t want it, sleep was easier and safer.In the darkness, there were no questions just emptiness.No terrifying realization that my entire life was gone.I turned my head slightly against the pillow, willing myself back into the void but a hand closed firmly around mine.I jerked, panic surging instantly through my chest.My breath came fast and uneven, as fear climbed up my spine, until memory caught up with me.I forced myself to breathe.“You shouldn’t go back to sleep just yet, Naila." he said, his voice low and controlled and strangely familiar in a way I couldn’t explain.Slowly, I turned my head and looked at him.He was watching me, he was tall, broad shoulders. Commanding in a way that filled the room without effort.His eyes were golden, piercing held mine with unsettling focus.T

TobyThree months later.Silence filled the penthouse, the kind of silence that should have brought peace.Instead, it pressed in on me heavy, suffocating me.I stood by the floor to ceiling windows, a glass of untouched whiskey in my hand, my gaze fixed on the city below. Everything was exactly as it should be.My company was secure.The internal leak had been contained.The traitor exposed.There was no longer any threat to Anetakis International and yet, there was no satisfaction.My jaw tightened as I turned away from the glass, my attention falling to the documents spread across my desk.Contracts, blueprints, reports.All of it proof that I had regained control.All of it meaningless.Because despite everything, I still didn’t have answers.Naila.Even thinking her name irritated me, or at least, that’s what I told myself.Three months, and she had completely disappeared, no calls, no attempts to defend herself, no explanation.I should have been relieved, but InsteadA muscle t

Naila.“Mistress?” I repeated the word.The word didn’t belong to me. It felt dirty, heavy and wrong.Girlfriend, lover, the woman he was seeing were some of the words I had imagined he would use to describe me, but I was wrong. Those were the terms I had clung to in my mind, shaping them into something softer, something that resembled love.But mistress?A woman kept, a woman used.Nausea surged violently in my stomach.I shoved his hand away and stumbled back, putting distance between us as if his touch burned.“Toby, is that truly all I am to you?” My voice trembled despite my effort to steady it. “A mistress?”He exhaled sharply, irritation flashing across his face.“You are clearly upset,” he said in a clipped tone. “Sit down, I will get you something to drink.”As if that would fix this.As if a glass of juice could soften the blow he had just dealt me.“I am not”But he was already moving, already dismissing me as he turned and walked out of the room like none of this mattered

Naila“You are five weeks pregnant.” The doctor’s voice echoed in my head long after I had left the clinic.Five weeks pregnant the nurse had said.I sat on the small bench across from Toby’s building, staring at nothing, my fingers clenched tightly in my lap. The summer sun was warm against my skin, but I felt cold, unnaturally cold.Pregnant, the word echoed in my mind again. My hand moved slowly to my stomach, pressing lightly as if I could feel something already there.This wasn’t supposed to happen, we had been careful always. But one night, that one night, heat rushed to my cheeks as I thought about it.He had just come back from a long business trip, we had been weeks apart. Weeks of tension building, weeks of me missing him, craving him.That night, Toby hadn’t held back and neither did I. My eyes squeezed shut as the memory surfaced his hands, his voice, the way he had whispered things that felt dangerously close to promises but deep down I knew were just pillow talk.My c

ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY STEPBROTHER

ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY STEPBROTHER

It was supposed to be one reckless night to be forgotten by morning. For Yubi, it was an escape from a broken home, a mother who never loved her, and a past haunted by guilt and loss. She gave her innocence to a stranger in a club, walked away before dawn, and told herself it meant nothing. Four weeks later, her world collapses. A positive pregnancy test. A new marriage. And the man she can’t forget introduced to her as her Stepbrother. Trey De Luca is everything Yubi should stay away from, arrogant, dangerous, and heir to a powerful empire built on money and secrets. He doesn’t believe in love, doesn’t want children, and doesn’t remember the girl he once held like she was everything. Until the truth explodes between them. Pregnant with her stepbrother’s child, Yubi is forced into impossible choices, between survival and desire, shame and longing, silence and scandal. When a violent accident leaves Trey fighting for his future, lines blur even further, and secrets buried inside the De Luca family begin to surface. Power, betrayal, obsession, and love collide in a world where nothing is clean not family, not loyalty, not desire.

Chapter: Chapter Forty Three
Yubi.I don’t even wait for the dust from Trey’s tires to settle before the feeling hits me, something is definitely wrong. Not the usual wrong, the tense silence wrong, the unspoken feelings wrong, the we are dancing around each other wrong. This is deeper. He didn’t look angry when he drove off. He looked hunted. Like someone had just lit a fuse inside him and he was racing against it burning down.I stand there in the driveway for two seconds too long, Chanel shifting against my chest, my heart pounding so hard it makes my ears ring.He lied, I know he did.And whatever he is running toward is dangerous.I turn on my heel and rush back into the house.The living room is quiet, almost eerily so. Michael isn’t here. That realization lands heavy, confirming the dread curling tighter in my stomach. Kiari is in the kitchen, pacing slowly with her phone in her hand, worry etched across her face in a way I’ve never seen before.“Kiari,” I say breathlessly.She looks up, startled. “Yubi?

Trey.The call comes when I’m least expecting it, I am in the den, staring at absolutely nothing, my mind looping uselessly over everything that’s gone wrong in the past twenty four hours Yubi’s face at the hospital, the way her voice cracked even when she tried to sound calm, the detective’s words echoing in my head like a bad song I can’t turn off.My phone buzzes on the coffee table, it's an Unknown number.I almost ignore it but Something tells me not to.“Hello?” I answer, already standing without realizing it.“Trey,” a familiar voice says, clipped, professional, uneasy. “This is Andrew. Your family’s financial advisor.”My stomach tightens instantly.“Is everything okay?” I ask, even though every nerve in my body is already screaming that it isn’t.There is a pause on the other end. Papers shuffling. The kind of pause that comes before bad news.“I am calling to verify a transaction,” Andrew says carefully. “A very large withdrawal was made today from one of your father’s accou

Chapter: Chapter Forty One
Michael. I don’t tell anyone, not Trey, not Kiari, not even Yubi, especially not Yubi.I sit alone in my study long after the house has gone quiet, the echo of Abel’s voice still ringing in my ears, the image burned behind my eyelids no matter how many times I blink. Ten seconds. That’s all he gave me. Ten seconds of Naomi tied to a chair, her hair matted, her face thinner than I remember, her eyes God her eyes still fighting even through the grainy video.I close my laptop slowly, deliberately, as if that might lock the image inside it instead of my head.If I tell them, I will give them hope.And hope is dangerous.Hope makes people careless. Hope makes people talk. Hope makes people call the police when they shouldn’t. And if Abel is bluffing if that video was old, if Naomi is already, I can’t even finish that thought then I will not drag the children through that kind of whiplash.And if she is alive, if she is still breathing somewhere, waiting for me to do the right thing then

MichaelThe house feels wrong after the police leave, it's too quiet despite the baby sounds coming from Chanel. Even with people still inside it, the walls feel hollow, like they are holding onto their breath, waiting for something worse to happen.I stand in the living room long after the last patrol car disappears down the street. Kiari retreats upstairs. Trey follows Yubi outside, and for once, I don’t stop him. I don’t have the energy to manage emotions right now, not theirs, not mine.Because the moment the front door closes, something inside me hardens.I have played by the rules long enough, sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands to get results.I walk into my study and shut the door behind me, locking it out of habit even though I know no one is going to interrupt me. I sit behind my desk, staring at the phone in my hand like it’s a loaded weapon.Abel.A name I thought I would never hear, a ghost from Naomi’s past that should have stayed dead.The police hav

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Nine
Yubi.The moment the words leave my mouth, Did you find my mom? the room seems to freeze around me. No one breathes. No one moves. It’s like the entire house is holding its breath, waiting for the detectives to either save me or destroy me.The female detective exchanges a look with her partner. Not a good look. Not a hopeful look.Something cold enough to numb bone spreads slowly through my chest.“Ms. Yubi,” the female detective begins gently, “we are going to walk you through everything we discovered. And we understand this is going to be difficult to hear.”My lungs burn but I nod once.Or maybe I don’t. I can’t even tell if my body is responding or if I’m just imagining it.The male detective adjusts the folder in front of him. “Earlier today, we tracked Abel’s movements to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.”My hands curl so tightly around the edge of the couch my nails dig into the fabric. My heartbeat floods my ears loud, sharp, fast like my body already know

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Eight
TreyThe moment I step through the front doors, I can feel the energy in the house before I even see anyone. It’s heavy, thick like the air itself knows something is wrong. Kiari is the first person I spot. She is pacing near the staircase, wringing her hands together, her face pale. The second her eyes land on me, she rushes forward.“Trey!” she cries, throwing her arms around me. The hug is so tight it nearly knocks the wind out of me. “Oh my God, I am so glad you are here.”I stiffen a little, not because of her, but because everything in me is pulled like a magnet in another direction. I hug her back briefly, then ease her off me.“What’s going on?” I ask, my voice steady even though my heart is hammering. “Kiari what happened?”“I’m not sure,” she stammers, shaking her head. “The detectives are, they are talking to your dad right now. They said they want to meet all of us in the living room.”Detectives. Plural.My chest tightens. My mind goes straight to one place, Yubi.I nod
