The Sterling Vow
"I pulled you out of the fire, Mr. Sterling. I do not want your money. I want your baby."
Sienna is a poor orphan cleaner with nothing to her name. Alexander Sterling is a cold, untouchable billionaire CEO.
When a deadly explosion traps Alec in a burning factory, Sienna risks her life to save him. In return, Alec owes her a life debt. He agrees to grant her only wish: a child of her own.
They marry on the spot.
Alec brings his new bride home to his private island, where his wealthy fiancée is already waiting for their planned wedding. Furious and desperate, the fiancée drops a bombshell. She claims she is already pregnant with Alec's heir.
To protect the family empire, Alec's twin brother Julian makes the ultimate sacrifice and marries the greedy fiancée instead.
Alec moves Sienna into his master bedroom and lays down one cold rule. They must share the bed every night until she conceives.
Alec swore this was just duty. But in the dark, the sweet, curvy girl in his arms tests his control to the breaking point.
Will their contract marriage ignite a dangerous obsession, or will family lies tear them apart?

Chapter: Chapter 7: The Grand Entrance"Take your hands off that luggage!"Genevieve’s sharp voice cut through the grand foyer like a siren.She marched across the white marble floor, her emerald heels clicking with aggressive force. She wore a tailored green pencil dress, oversized dark sunglasses, and thick gold chains resting against her collarbone."Miss Genevieve," Thomas the butler said, holding two heavy leather suitcases with white-gloved hands. "Madam Eleanor gave direct orders for your luggage to be placed in the carriage house suite.""The carriage house?" Genevieve snatched the vanity case straight out of his grip with a sharp snap of her wrist. "Are you out of your mind? I am Alexander's future wife. My belongings go into the master villa on the south bluff. Where is he? He went completely silent for four days after that explosion. My father and I have been calling the harbor office nonstop. Why was he not waiting at the landing pad when my father’s pilot touched down?""I am right here, Genevieve."Alec walke

Chapter: Chapter 6: A Quiet Burden"Why did you not stop him at the site clinic?"Julian set his water glass down on Alec's mahogany desk with a sharp, echoing crack."Nobody stops me from doing anything, Julian. You know that better than anyone on this island."Alec stood behind his heavy desk inside the north study. He had already showered, washed the black soot from his neck, and changed into a clean dark blue dress shirt. The white medical tape on his forehead was clean, but his face was rigid and exhausted."Genevieve has been calling my mobile phone every ten minutes since noon," Julian said, pacing across the hardwood floor. "She thinks you are meeting her at the south landing pad with flowers.""Let her think what she wants. The engagement is finished.""Our deep-water port permits are tied to her father's signatures, Alec. Do you understand how state politics operate?""Richard Mayor needs our shipping infrastructure just as much as we need his municipal approvals. He will not pull the port agreements.""He wi

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Island Arrival"Who is the girl behind you, Alexander?"Eleanor Sterling stood at the edge of the private wooden dock. The ocean breeze blew across the water, but her beige linen dress stayed perfectly straight. Her hands were folded over her silver walking stick, her sharp gray eyes scanning the yacht deck."Her name is Sienna."Alec walked down the gangplank first. His heavy leather shoes hit the wooden planks with loud, hollow thuds. His suit jacket was slung over one broad shoulder, his dark hair messy from the salt air."That is a name, Alexander. It is not an explanation.""She is my wife, Mother."Eleanor did not flinch. She did not raise her voice. She simply adjusted her grip on her walking stick, her eyes drifting past Alec's wide chest to the small figure walking slowly down the wooden ramp behind him."The magistrate from the lower district telephoned my private office two hours ago," Eleanor said, her voice smooth and cold as polished stone. "He informed me that the senior heir of Sterl

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Cabin Bargain"Take that bag off your shoulder."Alec kicked the heavy cabin door shut. The brass lock clicked into the frame."Where are we going right now?""We are forty minutes from my family estate. Drop the canvas bag on the floor."Sienna stayed near the small round table bolted to the wooden deck. She clutched the rough strap with both hands."You said we were just traveling to the island.""I said we had business to finish before the boat touches the pier."Alec tossed his suit jacket onto the leather couch. He pulled his silver cufflinks free and set them on the desk."Why are you taking off your clothes?""You stood in front of the magistrate two hours ago, Sienna. You signed your name on the state paper.""I signed because you told me to.""You signed because you asked for a baby in exchange for four lives. Do you think babies arrive by mail?"Sienna backed up until her hips hit the wooden dresser."Not like this. Not on a moving boat in the middle of the sea.""Once we hit that dock, f

Chapter: Chapter 3: The Cold Signature"Sign on the dotted line, Mr. Sterling. Right beside the red mark."The city magistrate did not look up from his metal desk. He was an older man with thick glasses resting on his nose, smelling of stale black coffee and dry paper. The small room at the edge of the industrial town had yellow walls, peeling paint, and a wall clock that made a loud clicking sound every single second.Alec stood over the desk. His tall frame blocked the morning light coming through the dirty blinds. His hair was combed neat, but the white bandage was still wrapped tight around his forehead. He wore a dark business suit his assistant had brought from the city hours earlier. He looked completely out of place in the dusty government office.He picked up the heavy black pen. His hand did not tremble, but his fingers pressed into the plastic casing until his skin turned white."Is this valid right now?" Alec asked, his voice low, flat, and dry."The second both of you finish signing," the magistrate said, stam

Chapter: Chapter 2: The Solemn Vow"She needs absolute bed rest.""I do not care about the medical cost. Put everything on my private account. Make sure she gets the best care available."Alec stood at the edge of the white curtain in the field medical tent, his forehead covered with clean white bandages. His chest was sore, but his eyes were sharp, dark, and fixed entirely on the small hospital bed.Sienna looked tiny under the heavy blankets. Her face was pale as paper, her lips dry and cracked. The baggy work clothes she always wore on the site had been cut away, replaced by a simple hospital gown that rested loosely on her shoulders.Alec walked closer, his boots clicking softly on the floor. The three surviving workers she had dragged out before going back for Alec stood near the end of the bed, their faces bruised, their hands shaking with nervous energy."You saved every single one of us, young lady," Miller, the oldest worker, said, his voice cracking with emotion. "The doctors told us you pulled three of us ou
