Ruthless Temptation
Emma Scott has always had it all—wealth, beauty, and power. As the privileged daughter of a business tycoon, she ruled her university years with confidence, arrogance, and an undeniable presence. But beneath her sharp tongue and ruthless attitude was an obsession she never dared to name—Killian Thomas, the one man who never bowed to her.
Killian, a hardworking scholarship student from a middle-class background, despised Emma for the torment she put him through. She was cruel, entitled, and always seemed to have a target on his back. But when one heated argument after class turns into something far more physical, their hatred transforms into an addiction neither of them can resist.
What starts as secret, no-strings-attached encounters after lectures spirals into something far more dangerous. They become study partners, but their breaks are filled with untamed passion. One night, they get locked inside the library and spend the entire night indulging in their darkest desires. Their obsession only grows stronger.
Upon graduation, Killian is offered a job at Emma’s father’s company, the very place where Emma works. Their sinful rendezvous continue in secret—stolen moments in offices, forbidden trysts during business trips. They think they’re careful, but when Emma’s father catches them in a compromising position overseas, their affair is exposed.
Faced with an ultimatum, Emma refuses to back down. She confesses that her bullying was always a twisted way of masking her love for Killian. She threatens to leave everything behind if her father dares to fire him.
Forced to confront their true feelings, Emma and Killian finally make their relationship official. But even after marriage, their hunger for each other remains insatiable—whether at home, at work, or in places they should never be.
Their passion is reckless. Their love is ruthless. And their temptation?

Chapter: Sharing the News POV: Killian Killian stood at the stove, stirring the marinara sauce with a wooden spoon, but his mind wasn’t on dinner. It was on the two girls upstairs, entirely unaware that their world was about to shift. Again. He exhaled through his nose, glancing at the clock. Any minute now, the stampede of feet would thunder down the stairs. Alina would pretend she wasn’t hungry but end up taking seconds. Amelie would chatter non-stop about school, soccer practice, and the new kid in her class who had a pet snake. And then… they’d tell them. The baby. The news sat like a weight on his chest. Not a heavy one—just enough to make his heartbeat trip a little. He’d faced hostile boardrooms and million-dollar acquisitions with less anxiety than this moment. Emma stepped beside him, gently bumping her hip against his. She’d just finished setting the table, hair tucked into a loo

Chapter: The Decision Emma The fluorescent lights of the OB-GYN clinic hummed softly overhead, casting a sterile glow over the quiet waiting room. Emma sat with her hands pressed to her lap, fingers intertwined, heart fluttering so wildly she could feel it in her throat. Killian sat beside her, his hand resting over hers, warm and grounding, though his thumb tapped an anxious rhythm. She stared at the closed door ahead, behind which they’d soon hear confirmation of what she already knew deep in her bones—she was pregnant. Again. Her mind swirled with a thousand questions, doubts, and dreams all colliding at once. She’d barely slept the night before, lying awake thinking of diapers and sleepless nights, of first words and first steps, of the way a newborn’s cry could shatter your heart and fill it all at once. Killian gave her hand a soft squeeze. “You okay?” he murmured. Emma nodded, not trusting her voice. The doo

Chapter: A New Beginning Emma stood in front of the bathroom mirror, her heart racing as she stared at the small plastic stick in her hand. The words “Pregnant” blinked up at her, bold and undeniable. Her breath caught in her throat, and she leaned against the counter, unsure of how to react. This wasn’t in their plan. She had just started to feel like they were settling into a rhythm—Alina was getting ready to graduate college, their son was excelling in high school, and life had started to feel like it was slowing down. The idea of starting over, of becoming parents again, was terrifying, yet, in a way, it felt right. She took a deep breath and reached for her phone, texting Killian, her fingers trembling. We need to talk. I think it’s time for another surprise. She hit send, leaning back against the cool tile, waiting for the response. She had a thousand thoughts running through her head, but she couldn’t find the right words. A part of her was thrilled—she had always wanted mor

Chapter: A New Beginning – The Tuscany Home Emma’s POV: The morning sun filtered through the open windows of the villa, casting soft rays of light on the newly furnished space. It was surreal, stepping through the doorway of what had once been just a dream, now a reality. The Tuscany vacation home was everything they had envisioned and more. From the rustic charm of the exposed beams to the grand view of the rolling hills outside, it felt like a piece of their future had taken root here. I smiled as I turned, watching Killian as he stood by the window, his broad shoulders framed by the picturesque landscape. His presence, as always, filled any room. Today, however, I saw something different in his gaze. There was a sense of peace, as if this home was more than just a place to escape; it was where we could truly begin our next chapter, together. “You know, it feels like we’ve just stepped into a dream,” I said softly, my voice a little shaky with the emotion of it al

Chapter: Back to Us Killian’s POV The hum of the jet had lulled Emma to sleep beside me. Her head rested on my shoulder, her fingers still loosely wrapped in mine. Even in sleep, she looked peaceful—serene in a way that reminded me of that sun-drenched afternoon in Tuscany. I glanced out the window. Clouds stretched endlessly below us, and yet my mind wasn’t thousands of feet in the air. It was grounded—back at that villa. The one that felt like a promise waiting to be kept. We’d made the first call before we even left the country, already in talks with our legal team to move forward. Emma was already talking design ideas with our interior consultant. But for now, reality waited back home: kids, school, work, and the life we’d built. And I couldn’t wait to step back into it. When we landed, the kids were at the front door before we could even get out of the car. Amelie launched into my arms, and Alina, always a little

Chapter: The Promise of Tomorrow Emma’s POV The winding roads of Tuscany unraveled before us like silk ribbons, golden light spilling across rolling hills. Killian reached for my hand as the car crested a slope, revealing the villa perched just ahead—a beautiful, rustic estate with terracotta roofs and ivy-covered walls that felt like a dream suspended in time. I sucked in a soft breath as the car rolled to a gentle stop in front of the stone archway. “It’s… breathtaking,” I whispered, unable to tear my gaze away. Killian smiled, his thumb brushing over my knuckles. “Wait until we get inside.” We stepped out into the warm afternoon sun. The air smelled of lavender and old stone, of earth and possibility. A local agent greeted us, unlocking the front doors and gesturing for us to explore freely. The house, she explained, had been restored but preserved in its original charm. We’d have the space to make it ours. We wandered slowly t
