LOGIN“We didn’t say a word before we both crashed into each other’s arms and started making out. I jumped on him, and he grabbed me. We barely made it to the bed before we started tearing each other apart. It was wild. It was intense. And I didn’t want it to end. For about twenty minutes, he did things to me that had me screaming until my voice gave out, and I passed out. The next time I opened my eyes, it was morning. I was sober again... but I had no idea what a naked stranger was doing in my bed!” Viola Sterling is a billionaire heiress whose life suddenly takes a hit when her family goes bankrupt. She becomes homeless, and as if that isn't enough, she catches her boyfriend cheating the very same day. Heartbroken and drunk, she tries to numb the pain… only to wake up the next morning with a naked stranger in her bed. Turns out, he’s a billionaire who couldn’t afford a scandal. He arrogantly pays her for her silence and disappears, leaving her embarrassed. She thinks that’s the end of it until she turns up at her new guardian’s house and gets the shock of her life. The naked stranger? He’s their son. They vow to remain strangers. But when Viola discovers she’s pregnant, everything changes. To protect their families' reputations, they agree to marry. To their families, it’s an arranged marriage. To them, it’s a contract, strictly business. And it comes with just a rule… Never to fall in love!

When I was finally done, he leaned back in his seat and let out a low breath, like he was trying to make sense of what I’d just said. I didn’t interrupt and I just let him process it all.“No.” he finally let out while shaking his head slowly.“Excuse me?” I blinked in unbelief, hoping that I'd misheard him.“I’m not doing this with you, Sophie.” His voice was calm but firm, like he’d already made up his mind. “This isn’t some petty high school game where we sabotage people’s lives because we can’t have what we want. I’m not doing it.” he added while I smiled, mostly out of amusement. “You think I’m playing a game here?” “No, I don't think you're playing a game. I think you’re obsessed,” he said. “And that's actually none of my business. Viola made her choice and if she’s marrying someone else, that’s on her. I'm not getting dragged into your little revenge plot. Even if I w
Sophie I made sure to get to the restaurant before him. I always do that because I like to first observe the crowd, the waitstaff, the lighting and everything else. I picked a spot in the far corner of the private lounge, one that gave me a clear view of the entrance. It was dim enough to feel intimate but not too dark to look suspicious. The jazz band playing in the background helped set the tone which was just perfect for what I wanted.Jake was exactly three minutes late and he stepped in looking hesitant. Just like me, he scanned the whole place but the only difference was he looked like he wasn’t sure what he was walking into. I on the other hand was so sure.Calvin had done well finding him for me. He gave me all his details and I handled the rest. I reached out to him, fixed a meeting and here we are. He seemed more different than what I expected though. He was taller and more rugged but with something boyish about his eyes, like he was still figuring life out. Viola definit
MarkI so much hate this part of weddings. Having to get outfits is so annoying and to think it’s for a wedding that I have no interest in whatsoever. That was why I asked Sophie to take care of it but the high and mighty Barry had other plans. I’m not even in the mood for any of this but I know he wouldn’t shut up about it which is the reason I’m now standing still in the middle of Stefano's Atelier, while he measured my inseam and now commenting on the tone of my frame.“Mark Rowland,” Stefano greeted me like I was royalty returning from exile. “The last time I saw you, you were refusing to wear cufflinks.” He added while I grunted. “Well you know me well, and yes, I still don’t like them.” I chimed in while he only smiled.“But he’s still wearing them,” Barry jumped in from the couch, flipping through a glossy catalogue like he was shopping for a yacht. “We’re not here for a board meeting, we’re here for your wedding. You should look the part.” He added while I just ignored him.
MarkI barely had time to register what was happening when Viola let out a scream that damn near pierced my skull.“Jesus, will you just stop shouting!” I barked, the sound sharp and raw from my throat as I instinctively pushed her aside. I didn’t realize how fast and hard the push was until I saw her body wobbled. I saw it before she hit the ground. Her knees buckled backward like she was about to crash, and in that split second, everything inside me went still.The baby!!! My parents were going to have my head if anything happened to their precious heir. I didn’t think further, I lunged forward, catching her just before her back could meet the floor. My arms wrapped around her waist, the slick heat of her skin instantly pressed against mine.We were both naked and breathless, and for just a second, time stopped. I don’t even know what it was… I couldn’t tell if it was the heat or the fact that out naked body was on each other. Or maybe the weight of two people who’ve been toeing t
