I guess Santa has a funny way of playing for the season, don't you think?” ******** Naila Cole escapes to a snowbound mountain cabin days before Christmas, desperate to outrun a life that’s falling apart. She expects silence, isolation and healing. She doesn’t expect Remy Sterling. Her ex-boyfriend. The man she walked away from years ago. One booking mistake. A brutal blizzard. One night they swear will mean nothing. But weeks later, Naila is hiding a secret that could destroy them both. When a new job offer drags her into the city, she’s ready to rebuild—until she walks into the boardroom and comes face to face with her new boss. Remy Sterling. CEO. Ruthless negotiator. And the father of the child she hasn’t told him about. As Christmas approaches and a dangerous corporate merger tightens its grip, Naila is forced into close quarters with Remy once again—while rumours ignite, rivals circle, and someone begins leaking secrets meant to ruin her. With her career in flames, her body changing, and the truth ticking like a time bomb between them, Naila must decide how long she can keep the secret that could cost Remy his empire… or her heart. Because some mistakes can't be hidden. Especially not the ones conceived on Christmas night.

Okay, I had to inform my boss that I wouldn't be available the next day but he didn't look too happy about the newsㅡ a scowl visibly pulled at his lips when he heard Elias's name.“Yeah…just to discuss some stuff.” I shrugged like it was something casual.The look of irritation on his face didn't falter. “And is that supposed to be professional, Naila?”My brow raised and I folded my arms this time. “What's that supposed to mean?”I wasn't seeing things. Remy Sterling was actually…jealous. Of Elias? No way.He ran a hand through his hair for the umpteenth time, looking conflicted. “If you needed some air, you could have let me know, Naila. I would have taken you out on the date.”That made me pause and frown. “It's not a date.” I corrected.“Sure it's not.” He scoffed under his breath.Oh fuck him.“Look, I couldn't turn him down. Not after what happened earlier. The last thing we need is him gett
NAILA'S POV Goosebumps prickled my skin and I broke into a cold sweat.Everyone was looking at me. I could feel cold accusing eyes burning into me from all corners of the room.It felt like I had failed on my first day. And I couldn't afford that, not after the scrutiny I had already received. I couldn't afford another mark against me.How did this happen? I had made sure that I had put all the files and sent some to their various departments for reviews.I gave the file to the financial team andㅡThe realization dawned on me. Paul had collected the files yesterday for a final review and had handed them back to me this morning. I had barely gone through the folder as I felt sick and didn't expect them to edit anything.Wait …did I see the financial addendum?My stomach churned and I straightened, brows furrowing.“Where's the file?” Lila spoke up from her chair, her voice hard.I snapped out of my daze and looked up at her, my heart thrumming loudly in my chest. “The finance team…”R
REMY'S POVI had seen her leave.I wasn't stupid. I had my gaze on her the whole time. Even when she thought I wasn't looking.But I didn't want to go after her. She needed her space. It's not like the brunch was that important.The look in her eyes flooded my head and I turned to Daniel. “Daniel?” I called out, my voice bland.He looked up at me, straightening. “Yes sir?”“Come with me.”I didn't wait for him to respond before I started walking away to a secluded corner. He followed after me quietly, stopping when we were out of earshot. “Yes sir?”I turned to him finally, the look in my eyes dark. “What was that move you just pulled?”Confusion filled his expression and he shrugged. “What move?”The urge to sucker punch him roared up my veins.

That was fun.” He looked like he was reminiscing about the moment.I stepped closer, breaking him out of his rever

Find a quiet place to sit for the rest of the brunch.Before I could slip away, Daniel's voice made me pause in my tracks. “Hey, Naila. Where are you off to?”Suddenly, every pair of eyes were on me, rooting me to the spot. I cursed in my head and forced a smile. “I was just about to get a drink.”Daniel nodded, his eyes slightly narrowing at me. “I was assuming you didn't want anything to do with us. Considering how much I wanted to get to know you. You know…since Mr Sterling here vouc
