The package

Ethan's POV.

Announcing to my employees that Ella was my wife wasn’t just impulsive—it was dangerously off-script. Definitely not part of the contract.

But why did I do it?

Maybe because I’m starting to like her. God help me. I didn’t plan on it, didn’t ask for it, but here we are. They say you don’t choose who you fall for, right? Your heart just leaps off a cliff, and your brain is stuck at the top shouting, “Wait, we didn’t agree to this!”

By the time we pulled up to my family’s estate—the kind of mansion that tried too hard to look casual, we were both silent. The night air felt thick, and Ella had her hands folded on her lap like she was going to a job interview she didn’t apply for.

Inside, the chandelier twinkled above like it was laughing at us. My dad was already at the dining table, swirling a glass of red wine with one hand while stabbing a steak with the other. Across from him sat Victoria, draped in silk like some villainous duchess from a daytime soap.

  • CEO'S UNEXPECTED BABY    Tangled in fate

    Ella’s POV.A small, almost hidden smile tugged at the corners of Ethan’s lips when he heard what I’d said. It wasn’t one of those full-blown, show-all-your-teeth smiles — more like the kind that sneaks in before the person even realizes it’s there. Without another word, we stepped inside together, the air between us warm yet unspoken.We ended up lying in bed, our backs to each other. It wasn’t awkward, just quiet, like two people sharing the same space but swimming in their own thoughts. I didn’t even remember falling asleep; one minute I was staring at the wall, the next I was opening my eyes to the gentle kiss of morning sunlight peeking through the curtains.And, of course, Ethan was gone. Again.Honestly, I don’t know why I still expected anything different. He had this habit , to vanish in the early hours like a phantom who didn’t believe in proper goodbyes. No “see you later,” no “have a good morning,” not even the breakfast-and-note combo he’d done before. And for some reaso

  • CEO'S UNEXPECTED BABY    Through her guard

    ELLA'S POV.“I’m okay…” I muttered, though my voice shook just enough to betray the lie. My palms were clammy, my heart was a little too loud, and my legs felt like they’d borrowed someone else’s knees—shaky and unreliable.“This won’t do. I’ll take you home.” Ethan’s tone was calm but left no room for negotiation.Before I could object, he turned to Kenneth, one of the tall, over-serious male employees who always smelled faintly of cologne and printer ink.“Please contact the police.”“Yes, sir,” Kenneth replied, already reaching for the office phone like it was his life’s calling.Ethan’s hand found mine, not forcefully, but firmly enough to make me feel like my pulse had been hijacked and we left the office.I didn’t say a word during the drive. I kept my eyes glued to the window, pretending the city lights outside were far more interesting than the string of bizarre, borderline dangerous events that had been happening since Ethan showed up in my life.Coincidence? My gut said no.

  • CEO'S UNEXPECTED BABY    Tangled in Trouble

    Ella’s POV.Patting his back was supposed to be nothing—a silly favour for a grumpy man-child who couldn't sleep without a lullaby. But somehow, we got here.How did this happen? It’s actually funny when I think about it. I used to glare at him like he was a mosquito buzzing in my ear. Now here I am, in bed with him, singing lullabies and playing human melatonin. From enemies to... whatever this is.The way he looked at me that night made my stomach do a little Olympic flip. And when his fingers brushed against my lips unintentionally, I think…I stopped humming. My voice died in my throat. He just... left his fingers there for a second, gently parting my bottom lip.I should've slapped him or at least asked what the heck he was doing. But instead, I froze. My brain stopped functioning, and my hormones apparently took over.Then he pulled his hand away like he just realized what he’d done. A sane person would’ve ended it there, right?But no. Me? I held his hand.And I licked it.I. L

  • CEO'S UNEXPECTED BABY    Borrowed Arms

    Ethan’s POV.After the military, nightmares became my shadow—silent, persistent, and brutally loyal. Every night, I brace myself for the familiar images: gunshots, blood, screams, and the terrifying stillness that follows war. It’s the same loop. And whenever I have them, sleep becomes impossible.I really don't know how to describe that feeling but it's scary.But last night… Last night was different.Her hand—small, warm and steady—patting my back like I was a child lost in a storm. I can’t even explain the feeling. Like my soul had been wrapped in something soft for the first time in years. Not even Evelyn, my ex, could calm me like that. Sure, we slept together, physically, but the silence after my nightmares was always mine to endure.But her? Ella? That tiny, sharp-mouthed woman who’s not even afraid to roll her eyes at me in public?She didn’t do anything fancy, she didn’t even say much… but for the first time in ages, I slept. A proper, uninterrupted sleep. That’s not just rar

  • CEO'S UNEXPECTED BABY    The nightmare

    Ella’s POV.I shouldn't have sent that text, right?Now he probably thinks I’m missing him or something. Ew. That thought alone makes me shiver like someone poured cold water down my spine. It’s not like I was checking if he ate or anything — I just happened to walk past the food tray I left for him and saw it untouched. That’s all. I didn’t care. Nope. Not even a bit. I was just being… civil. That’s right, civil.I mean, I told the maids not to prepare dinner, so leaving him food was just… common courtesy. A good person thing. Not a soft-for-him thing. Ugh.Anyway, I had moved on to the better part of my evening: watching the most ridiculous telenovela on earth. I was stretched across the softest couch in this luxury penthouse, laughing so hard I was practically crying. The male lead had just confessed his love while hanging off a cliff — very realistic, I know. I laughed so loud I nearly rolled onto the floor.That’s when I heard the beep of the front door unlocking.“Oh, he’s back
