Mag-log inBlurb. Logline. A ruthless billionaire known as “The Devil” offers Paige the one thing she needs to save a child, but the price is her freedom, reputation, and heart. Paige Harper never wanted a billionaire’s ring, she wanted to keep a promise. When her best friend dies, Paige vows to raise the baby she left behind like her own. But the system is cruel to single women with empty bank accounts, and love alone isn’t enough to win an adoption case. One desperate lie during an interview changes everything: Paige claims she is engaged. The problem? The man she names is her boss. Dante De Luca is a ruthless billionaire CEO the media calls The Devil. He is Cold, powerful, and untouchable, he doesn’t tolerate betrayal, especially not from his personal assistant. When Paige’s lie makes global headlines, she is certain she will be fired. Instead, Dante makes her an offer she can’t refuse. He will give her the ring, the money, and the public image she needs to secure the adoption, but only if she agrees to be his fiancée in every way that matters. Public appearances. Private nights. Absolute obedience. And a contract that binds her life to his. Paige accepts, knowing she is selling herself to save a child. What she doesn’t expect is Dante’s possessive gaze, the tenderness he shows the baby behind closed doors, or the dangerous way fake feelings start to feel real. And when Paige discovers the devastating truth behind Dante’s plan, she must choose between the man who owns her future and the child who owns her heart. Because loving the devil was never part of the promise, and walking away from him might cost her everything.

I didn’t think I was going to even like her, but she got my attention immediately, she was professional but still warm and I knew Paige would like her. And yet, I have not stopped thinking about the way Paige looked at me when I told her we had a party to attend and we were going to leave Kyla with a night nurse.She didn’t say everything she was thinking, but I could see it in her eyes. The questions, the resistance, the quiet defiance she tries so hard to mask behind composure.She thinks this is about control and appearances, about maintaining my public image. A soft click from the bedroom door pulls me out of my thoughts and then she steps out.For a moment, I forget how to breathe completely.My mind goes blank in a way that is both inconvenient and deeply inconvenient.She is stunning abd and that word is insufficient.The dress fits her like it was made specifically for her, she looks elegant, refined, sophist
Paige.I am still staring at the huge bed when the silence finally starts to feel too loud.The suite looks like it was designed for a married happy couple on a luxury getaway instead of two people stuck in a complicated arrangement they pretend not to define.My fingers tighten slightly around the handle of my suitcase as I step further inside, my heels sinking softly into the plush carpet. The suite is beautiful, unnecessarily beautiful with floor to floor ceiling windows, soft gold lighting, and a quiet elegance that feels almost suffocating.Because it feels intimate, too intimate for whatever me and Dante have going on.Behind me, I hear the soft rustle of fabric and the faint sound of Kyla’s sleepy babble. I turn slightly and watch as Dante walks deeper into the suite, completely unbothered by the fact that we are now sharing a bedroom.He doesn't seem bothered at all by our arrangement, and that irritates me even more. He gently places Kyla in the bassinet that has already bee
Paige.I don’t start packing when we get back to the house. I tell myself I will there is no rush, I even walk into the bedroom with the full intention of doing it, but instead, I just stand there for a moment, staring at the open wardrobe like it personally offended me.Dante just sprung the trip on me, just like that no Intel at all, no discussion and I was supposed to go along with it. My fingers tighten around the strap of the baby bag still hanging from my shoulder before I slowly set it down on the bed.“What even is this?” I whisper under my breath.Because I genuinely don’t understand, yesterday, he was distant, he left and didn't want to spend any time with us, but this morning we were going on a family trip, pretending to be happy and in love. I pull out Kyla’s small suitcase and place it on the bed, unzipping it slowly. The soft sound fills the quiet room, and immediately I begin folding her tiny clothes with automatic precision onesies, extra socks, bibs, blankets, wipe
Paige. I sit in the passenger seat, my hands resting on Kyla’s baby bag on my lap, fingers absentmindedly tracing the zipper over and over again. The car hums softly as Dante drives, his eyes fixed on the road, his jaw set in that unreadable way that makes it impossible to tell what he is thinking.He hasn’t turned on the radio and he hasn’t said a word either, we are just driving in silence.In the backseat, Kyla babbles softly to herself, occasionally letting out tiny squeals that fill the quiet space. Every time she makes a sound, my heart softens just a little, grounding me, reminding me what today is actually about.I glance sideways at Dante for a brief second.His grip on the steering wheel is firm but not tense. His posture is relaxed, almost too relaxed for someone who showed up smelling like alcohol this morning and casually announced a family trip as if it were nothing. His expression is calm, composed, controlled as always. My chest tightens, but I quickly look away, s
