MARRIED TO TWO RIVAL CEOS

MARRIED TO TWO RIVAL CEOS

To save his twin sister Clara from a terrible fate, lazy and carefree Cole Titan agrees to do the impossible: act like a woman, squeeze into a gown, and take her place in a court-ordered 3-month cohabitation with her cold husband. His temporary spouse is Xavier Sterling, the ruthless, incredibly handsome CEO of Sterling Tech Global. Cole only needs to survive ninety days, wear a strict heart-rate monitor, and stay out of Xavier’s way. There’s just one massive problem...Xavier realizes on night one that his "wife" is actually a man. Instead of exposing the fraud, Xavier decides to keep Cole captive, finding his chaotic panic far too entertaining to let go. Things spiral completely out of control when Julian Vance, Xavier’s charismatic, lifelong arch-nemesis, enters the picture to steal "Clara" away, only to end up hopelessly tangled up with Cole instead. Trapped between two insanely powerful billionaires who hate each other but refuse to let him go, Cole’s simple scheme turns into an explosive game of power, jealousy, and secret family scandals. When the dust settles, who said a man can't end up married to two rival CEOs?

Chapter: Chapter 7: Butts in the dark
Cole's povNo, no, no... what the fuck!Panic flared through every single nerve in my body, hot and blinding. I held my breath, trying to slowly, millimeter by millimeter, slide my leg out from under his heavy thigh. But the more I squirmed and wriggled, the harder it became. The sheets kept tangling around my ankles like a trap.Everything in this damn house is against me!I couldn't make any sudden moves. I couldn't just leap out of bed like I had been shot. If I woke Xavier up right now, he would immediately get suspicious about why I was so desperately trying to break away from him. A normal wife wouldn't act like she was lying next to an active bomb.Then, as if the universe decided I hadn't suffered enough, I felt Xavier shift in his sleep. He lifted his heavy leg, dropping it right between mine and yanking me even closer against his warm, broad frame.My knee bumped into something remarkably solid and thick. My eyes went wide as saucers in the dim morning light, a wave of sheer

Chapter: Chapter 6: Morning Revelations
Cole's pov Why is he not talking? Oh God…has he changed his mind?!“What are you afraid of?” Xavier said with a smirk, taking a calm step forward and sliding beneath the heavy sheets. He pulled the duvet up over both of us, resting his head back against the dark leather headboard without a care in the world."I sleep better with my clothes off," Xavier said smoothly, settling into his pillows. "You don't mind, do you?"Oh, hell yeah, I fucking mind! I screamed in my head, staring wide-eyed at the dark ceiling while my heart hammered against my ribs. Sleeping in bed butt-ass naked right next to me?! What the actual hell is wrong with this man?!I swallowed the lump in my throat, forcing my lips into a small, tight smile. "It's... it's fine. Whatever makes you comfortable.""Good," Xavier murmured, closing his eyes. "Get some rest, Clara.""Yeah. You too."He didn't make another move toward me. He just lay there on his side of the massive king-sized bed, leaving a solid two feet of emp

Chapter: Chapter 5: Unfiltered Distractions
Cole's pov My eyes went wide, and my heart shot straight into my throat.I scrambled across the slick bathroom tile, throwing my entire weight against the door just as the handle turned completely down. The door jostled against my shoulder, but I held it shut with everything I had."Nope! No, stop! Don't come in!" I yelled, trying desperately to sound small and soft despite the pure desperation in my voice. "I just committed a literal atrocity in here! I just finished pooping, okay?! This place smells like absolute shit! Please go away!"A deep, amused chuckle echoed from the other side of the wood."I can't smell anything from out here," Xavier said, his voice entirely unbothered. "I'm pretty sure I can handle it.""No! Please, no!" I squeaked, pressing my back flat against the frame, praying my grip wouldn't slip.While holding the door shut with one hand, I frantically used the other to shove my dick back inside my underwear, cursing under my breath. My hands were shaking so hard

Chapter: Chapter 4: Caught off Guard
Chapter 4: Caught Off GuardCole's pov I spun around so fast to face Xavier that my foot caught in the edge of the heavy duvet, and I went tumbling sideways.Before I could crash onto the hardwood floor, a strong arm shot out, grabbed me firmly around the waist, and yanked me right back onto the mattress. I landed with a soft thud, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird."Careful," Xavier muttered, his voice dangerously close to my ear.I scrambled to sit up a little, clearing my throat and forcing out a small, high-pitched chuckle that almost didn't sound like a chuckle at all. "Not... not what? What were you going to say?"Xavier stared at me in the dim light for a long, heavy second, his dark eyes unreadable. "Never mind."I let out a deep, quiet breath, sinking back into the pillow and trying to look relaxed. But then I felt his hand still resting on my side. His fingers twitched slightly before gripping my waist even tighter, pulling my body back against his warm

Chapter: Chapter 3: Playing Along
Xavier's povI laid in the dim master bedroom, listening to the quiet, steady breathing of the person sleeping next to me.I had murmured "Clara" out loud, but in my head, I knew better. This wasn't Clara. I had only seen my arranged wife once on our wedding day, but I knew this wasn't her. They looked insanely alike, almost down to the exact jawline, the nose, and the hair…but the energy was completely wrong. Clara was stiff, formal, and tried way too hard to project high-society perfection. This person was chaotic, jumpy, and practically radiating panic.So it's either the Titans built a high-tech robot to take her place, I thought, staring at the back of the figure's head in the faint moonlight, or they sent her twin brother.Deciding to test my theory, I reached out under the heavy silk covers. I snaked my hand around the person's waist, feeling the soft, ridiculously loose cotton of the baggy pajamas, not that I planned to actually do anything with him or…it.Before my fingers co

Chapter: Chapter 2: A Close Call
Cole's pov I turned back slowly toward Xavier, letting out a stiff, awkward laugh. "Look what? Look beautiful? Look gorgeous?"I folded my shaking hands into tight fists behind my back, desperately trying to hide my trembling fingers. Xavier just stood there on the stairs, staring up at me with an unreadable gaze."You look... different," Xavier said, his voice quiet and even. "Taller."I laughed awkwardly again, my heart slamming against my ribs the longer I stayed trapped under his heavy eyes. I forced myself to turn away, casually waving a hand."Well, it's been a year since we last saw each other. It's only normal that I've... changed. Or grown a bit taller."Xavier said nothing to that. He didn't argue or probe. He simply turned around without another word and headed back down the stairs toward the open living room.The second his back was turned, I let out a long breath I didn't even realize I was holding. I leaned against the hallway wall for a second, clutching my chest.That
