AFTER LOSING MY BABY, I MARRIED A BILLIONAIRE
Chloe Hart thought she had everything. At twenty-one, she was five weeks pregnant with the baby of the man she loved, Jace Morgan.
Then she found her best friend's eight-week ultrasound in Jace's truck. Her best friend was pregnant too — by the same man.
Betrayed by the two people she trusted most, Chloe refused to give up her baby. But Jace and Jenna had other plans. One cup of tea laced with abortion pills left her bleeding and broken on a bathroom floor. She survived. Her baby did not.
What Chloe never knew was that someone watched her suffer from the shadows. Sterling Brooks, the quiet man who had secretly loved her since college, was really Sterling Hayes, the hidden billionaire heir to the Hayes Energy empire.
Two years later, Chloe becomes his secretary, unaware her new boss is the man who once saved her life. Their secret office romance gives her hope again — until a forced engagement, a shocking inheritance, and a $20 billion frame-up threaten to destroy her.
Then Chloe discovers she is the rightful heiress to Hart Ranch, a 5,000-acre empire. And the woman who tried to destroy her may become the one who helps her rebuild.
She lost a baby because of the man she loved. Now she must decide if she is brave enough to trust love again.

Chapter: EPISODE SIX—FIRST DAY BACKCHLOEThe shadow disappeared.I kept staring at the glass panel, my heart beating fast. Maybe it was just a nurse passing by. Or someone looking for another patient's room.I pulled the blanket closer and dropped my phone on the other side of the bed. Sterling told me not to look at UT Confessions, and I didn't listen. Now I couldn't get the comments and picture out of my mind.A soft knock interrupted me, and my mother walked in with her handbag and a bottle of water."Baby? You're still awake?"I forced my breathing to calm down. "I was about to sleep."She placed her things on the chair and came closer, touching my forehead the way she always did when she was checking if I was lying."Did something happen? You look pale.""Just tired."She didn't believe me, but she didn't push. Since everything happened—the pregnancy, Jace, Jenna—she had stopped asking too many questions. Instead, she simply showed up. Every day. Holding my hand like she could transfer her strength to me.That mad

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE —THE SHADOW AT MY WARD CHLOE "Did I interrupt anything?" Jenna stood in my doorway holding white lilies like she was attending a funeral. My funeral. Pink sweater. Perfect lip gloss. That sweet-girl smile she always wore when she wanted people to think she was innocent. But her eyes were empty. Sterling was on his feet before I could breathe. "Get out." Jenna blinked. "Excuse me?" "You heard me." She laughed. "Wow. So chivalrous." "Jenna," I whispered. "What are you doing here?" We'd been inseparable since we entered college, sharing notes, sharing meals, staying up late talking about everything. We'd promised to always have each other's backs. I'd never imagined she'd become the person who hurt me the most. But Jenna didn't even look at me. She walked past Sterling as though he were furniture and placed the lilies on top of the paper bag Sterling had brought. The bag crumpled beneath the flowers. A soft squashing sound came from inside. "Move the flowers," Sterling said. Jenna feigned s

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR—DID I INTERRUPT ANYTHING? CHLOE "What the hell is going on? What is he doing here?!" The words escaped my mouth before I could stop them. Sterling stood at the entrance to my ward, his hand gripping the door handle. The quiet guy who had brought me fruit minutes ago now looked ready for a fight. "There you are!" Jace shouted, pointing at Sterling. "You think you can attack me in my own apartment and walk away like nothing happened?" My heart pounded. Attack him? My eyes dropped to Sterling's injured knuckles and the torn collar of his shirt. Had they fought because of me? "Sir, you need to calm down!" a nurse called from behind Jace. "You're disturbing other patients." "I don't care!" Jace snapped. "That bastard came into my apartment and punched me! I'm not leaving until he answers for it!" Sterling stepped away from the door. "Keep my name out of your mouth." Jace laughed bitterly. "Or what? You're going to hit me again?" I stared at them, struggling to understand what was happening. "Sterlin

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE — THE SCREAM FROM BUILDING FOURSTERLING "JACE! PLEASE, HELP ME!" I stopped outside Building 3, the trash bag dangling from my hand. I knew that voice. Chloe Hart. The girl from my department. Jace's girlfriend. I dropped the bag and ran. By the time I reached Jace Morgan's apartment in Building 4, Chloe was already outside the open door, lying on the ground, one hand pressed against her stomach. Blood stained her clothes and her face was so pale that for one terrifying moment, I thought she was already gone. The hallway smelled like iron and cleaning bleach. Someone had tried to mop. I could see the faint red trail leading back into Jace's apartment, and my stomach turned. "Chloe?" She didn't respond. She had already fainted. I glanced through the open doorway. I couldn't see anyone inside. "Jace!" I shouted. Nothing. I didn't waste another second. I called 911, explained what I had found, and followed the dispatcher's instructions while waiting for the ambulance. I stayed beside her, watching her bre

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO — NO EVIDENCECHLOE Beep. Beep. Beep. My eyes slowly opened. The first thing I saw was a white ceiling. I stared at it blankly, trying to remember where I was. My body felt heavy, and a strange pain twisted through my lower stomach. Beep. Beep. Beep. The sound continued beside me. I slowly turned my head and noticed a machine next to my bed. An IV line ran into my hand, and white sheets covered my body. A hospital? How did I get here? I tried to sit up, but the pain in my stomach forced me back against the pillow. Then I heard a familiar voice. "Lord, please. Let my baby be okay. Please, don't let anything happen to my daughter." I turned towards the voice. "Mom?" My mother sat beside my bed, still wearing her nurse scrubs. Her eyes were red, and she looked exhausted. The moment she noticed I was awake, she jumped to her feet. "Chloe!" She rushed to my side and held my hand. "Oh, thank God! Baby, you're awake!" Her voice broke as she brushed my hair away from my face. "How are

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE — THE ULTRASOUND I was bleeding my baby out on my boyfriend's bathroom floor. While my best friend stood outside telling him not to help me. Five minutes earlier, she had put abortion pills in my tea. Three hours earlier, I had hugged her and told her I was five weeks pregnant. My name is Chloe. My mom is a nurse. We are an average family. Not rich enough for luxury. Just average. This is how I got to his bathroom floor. That morning, I was in our dorm bathroom. Two tests on the sink. Two pink lines each. Jenna was pacing between the sink and the door. "What if I'm pregnant?" I whispered. "Then we'll figure it out," she said. My period was five weeks late. "Okay, we are going to the campus clinic. Now," she said. She drove me in her Corolla. I was shaking the whole ride. At the campus clinic, the nurse asked, "When was the first day of your last period?" "About five weeks ago." She handed me a little plastic cup. The lid was still sealed. "Bathroom is down the hall. Leave your sample
