Synopsis

Dark Romance

First-Person POV

Playboy

Contract Marriage

Pregnant

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 1 – "The Day I Finally Snapped"
Vals POV"FUCK YOU, RICHARD. I QUIT."The words explode out of me before my brain catches up, and for one suspended second, the entire twenty second floor of Holloway Enterprises goes so silent I can hear the air conditioning humming.Twelve faces all staring at me and nobody breathing.Richard Holloway sits at the head of the conference table with my forty page event proposal in his manicured hand, and the expression on his face, that slow, incredulous smirk creeping up one side of his mouth makes me want to flip the entire table into his lap."Excuse me?" he says."You heard me." My voice doesn't shake. After everything, after three years of this man treating me like cheap furniture, and background noise with good typing speed, i end all of that today "I quit. Effective right now. Effective thirty seconds ago, actually."I yank my lanyard over my head and drop my badge on the table. It makes a small, sharp sound, like a period at the end of a very long sentence.Here's the thing ab

Chapter 3 –  “Heat Without a Face”  
Val’s povThe suite door slams so hard the frame rattles.My back hits the wall before I can even catch my breath. Ivan’s body crashes into mine, all hard muscle and burning heat. His mouth finds mine instantly, deep and filthy, tongue sliding against mine like he’s claiming territory. The kiss is messy, desperate, whiskey, rage and pure need. I kiss him back just as hard, biting his lower lip, sucking on his tongue, moaning into his mouth like I’ve lost my fucking mind.His hands shove my skirt up my thighs, yanking my panties aside. His fingers drag through my soaked folds and I jerk, gasping into the kiss.“Fuck… you’re dripping,” he growls against my lips, voice low and wrecked. That rough timbre vibrates straight to my clit.I reach down, palming the thick bulge in his pants, squeezing the heavy, throbbing length. He’s huge. He spins me around, pressing my front to the cool wall. His mouth attacks my neck again, sucking hard and his teeth grazing. One hand palms my ass while the

No awkward daylight conversations where someone pretends last night meant more than a mutual escape. I always leave cash. Cash makes it clean and honest. Everyone knows exactly what they paid for and what they got.By the time the elevator hits the lobby, she’s already supposed to be a memory.Except she isn’t.I step into my penthouse at 4:52 AM, the city is still dark outside the floor to ceiling windows. The place is exactly how I like it, cold, precise and empty. I shower off the scent of whiskey and sex, but the ghost of her stays on my skin anyway. Warm, floral and dangerous.I pull on a fresh shirt, pour black coffee, and open my laptop.The numbers are a bloodbath.Two billion gone with Yamamoto’s withdrawal. Three more deals gone radio silent overnight. The board is drafting emergency motions and my PR team sent a seventeen point

Chapter 5 –  “Two Lines and a Broken Promise”
Val’s POVIt’s been two weeks of hell.I had no job, no money, no plans. Just endless applications, instant noodles, and the constant knot in my stomach that won’t go away. I’ve sent out thirty seven emails in the last seven days, begging for interviews, begging for anything. But its either i get ghosted or i get a message that starts “unfortunenatly” Let's just say the event planning industry is deeply committed to Harrison Cole's version of events. Two people warned me actually, Two separate people in two separate corners of this industry called me privately, kindly, apologetically to tell me my name is making rounds in a way that isn't flattering.He did that.

Chapter 7 –“The Stranger on the Screen”
Val's POVThe silence stretched so long I thought the Zoom call had frozen.Ivan West stared at me through the screen, his dark eyes narrowed, that sharp jaw clenched tight. He looked exactly like the kind of man who ruined lives without even trying expensive shirt unbuttoned at the collar, sleeves rolled up like he’d been working all night, the kind of effortless power that made my stomach twist.“…It’s you,” he repeated, voice low and rough. The same voice that had growled against my neck that night.My hands started shaking so badly I had to grip the edge of the table. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”The mediator lady from Elite Veil cleared her throat awkwardly. “Mr. West, Ms. Rivera… do you two… know each other already?”Neither of us answered her. We were too busy staring at each other like we’d seen ghosts.I wanted to laugh. Or cry. Or throw my laptop across the room. This was the man whose baby was growing inside me. The same man who fucked me senseless in a dark hotel room, le

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

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 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
