A BABY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE'S LIE
I made one promise to my mother. No baby without a ring.
Then I got drunk, slept with a stranger who left cash on the nightstand like I was nothing, and woke up pregnant with no name, no number and no way to find him.
Pregnant. Jobless. And my only option is marrying a man I already hate on sight.
Ivan West is everything I cannot stand. Arrogant, cold, and used to getting exactly what he wants. But he needs a wife and I need a husband and somewhere in between desperation and bad decisions we sign a contract that is supposed to fix everything.
One year. Shared penthouse. Fake marriage. Real baby that he agrees to claim as his.
Simple.
Except nobody stays enemies when they are forced to share a bed every night. Nobody keeps their walls up when life keeps finding new ways to tear them down. And nobody, nobody, walks into a contract marriage with a man like Ivan West and comes out the other side feeling nothing.
I came into this with one rule. Do not fall for him.
I should have read the fine print.

Chapter: Chapter 13 -“New Wife New War”Vals PovThe ring felt heavy on my finger.I stood beside Ivan in front of the small crowd of carefully selected guests and press, forcing a smile while cameras flashed around us. Mrs. Ivan West. The words still sounded fake in my head even as the officiant had pronounced them real. My simple white dress hugged my body a little too closely and I kept wondering if people could already tell I was pregnant.Ivan’s hand rested possessively on my lower back. Every time his thumb brushed my spine I felt it between my legs. My body was a traitor. Even after everything last night and this morning I still reacted to him like a live wire.The kiss at the end of the ceremony had not been gentle. He had pulled me close in front of everyone and kissed me like he owned me. Deep and hungry. I had kissed him back because I had to. Because the world was watching. But my nipples had hardened and heat had pooled low in my belly anyway.Now the reception was a blur of fake congratulations and sharp quest

Chapter: Chapter 12 - “The Morning After The Storm”Ivan's POVI watched her from the doorway as she slept.Valentina lay curled up in the middle of my king sized bed, the silk sheet barely covering her naked body. Her dark hair spilled across the pillow like ink, and even in sleep her brows were furrowed. She looked exhausted. Beautiful. And completely mine.Last night had been a mistake in many ways. I should have told her everything before I touched her. But the moment I had her against that window, the moment she moaned my name and clenched around me, all my control had shattered. She was fire and fury and everything I had been craving since that drunken night two months ago.I stepped into the room quietly and set a cup of ginger tea on the nightstand. The pregnancy. My child. The thought still sent a strange warmth through my chest that I wasnt ready to examine too closely.My phone vibrated silently in my hand. Another update from my team.Cole had doubled down overnight. More leaks. More lies. He was painting Valentina as a des

Chapter: Chapter 11 -“Broken Glass and Burning Lies”Val's POVI stood there wrapped in nothing but a thin sheet, staring at the man who had just been inside me, and felt everything crumble.The luxurious penthouse that had felt like a dream minutes ago now felt like a golden prison. My legs were still weak. My body still hummed with the aftereffects of the most intense sex I had ever experienced. And Ivan West looked at me like I was already his to keep.“I can’t do this,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “I need air. I need to think.”“You’re not leaving.” Ivan’s tone left no room for argument. He pulled on his sweatpants but stayed shirtless, the scratches I’d left on his chest still visible. “Harrison Cole has people watching this building. If you walk out now, you’ll be walking straight into his trap.”I laughed bitterly. “So now I’m your prisoner?”“You’re my wife,” he corrected, stepping closer. “On paper and in every way that matters tonight.”The words sent a fresh wave of heat through me despite my anger. I hated my bo

Chapter: Chapter 10 – “The Poisoned Truth”Val's POV My heart stopped.Ivan was still buried deep inside me, his cock twitching with the last pulses of his orgasm, our mixed release slowly leaking down my thigh, and he wasn’t surprised.Not even a little.The cold voice on the phone kept talking, but I couldn’t hear the words anymore. All I could focus on was the lack of shock on Ivan’s face. The calculated calm in his eyes as he listened to Harrison Cole trying to destroy us.He finally pulled out of me slowly, making me gasp at the sudden emptiness. I scrambled backward on the massive bed, grabbing the nearest sheet and wrapping it around my naked body like a shield. My legs were still shaking. My pussy still throbbed from how hard he’d fucked me. And now this.“You knew,” I whispered, voice trembling with rage. “You fucking knew he was coming after us.”Ivan ended the call without a word and tossed the phone onto the nightstand. He stood there completely naked, tall, powerful, and utterly composed while I felt like I was f

Chapter: Chapter 9 –“Penthouse Sins”Val’s POVThe private elevator opened straight into the penthouse and I stepped into pure luxury. Dark wood floors, massive windows glowing with the city lights, and furniture that screamed old money. My small suitcase looked pathetic next to all of it.Ivan was waiting in the open living area, wearing a black button-down with the top buttons undone. The second his eyes met mine, the temperature in the room seemed to rise.“Welcome to your new home, Valentina,” he said, voice smooth but edged with something darker.I swallowed. “Temporary arrangement. Don’t get comfortable with the idea.”He didn’t reply. He just watched me set my bag down, then slowly stalked closer. The air between us crackled. No contract talk. No logistics. Just raw, heavy tension that had been building since that Zoom call.“You’ve been wet for this since my office, haven’t you?” he murmured.“Fuck you,” I whispered, but my voice came out breathy.“That’s the plan.”He didn’t kiss me gently. He backed me against

Chapter: Chapter 8 –“Signed Away”Val's PoVI barely slept that night.After the Zoom call ended, I sat staring at my laptop screen for almost twenty minutes, heart still racing like I’d run a marathon. Ivan West. The name kept repeating in my head like a bad song I couldn’t turn off. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face, those sharp dark eyes recognizing me, that slow smirk when he talked about “figuring out what this thing between us is.”My body was a traitor. Even now, hours later, I could feel heat pooling low in my belly just from remembering his voice.“Get it together, Val,” I muttered to myself as I paced my tiny living room. “He left money on the nightstand like you were a whore. He’s everything you hate.”But he was also offering me a way out. For the baby. For Mama. For my future.The full contract arrived by email at 11:42 p.m.Forty-seven pages of legalese that made the NDA look like a children’s book. I stayed up until 3 a.m. reading every single line, highlighting the parts that made my blood bo
