“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.

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.

I woke up feeling so terrible, my head was aching so badly and I could barely see. The sun filtering through the curtains made it worse. I got up to close it and a wave of weakness hit me so fast that I crashed back into bed.
“Damn it… how much did I drink last night?” I muttered under my breath while I sat still for a second, waiting for the odd sensation to pass. It hit me again when I stood up. Knocking over a half-empty bottle of vodka and my leather travel bag, I caught myself before I pitched face-first onto the floor.
The spell finally passed, and I slowly walked to the window. I just need the room dim and that’s all. I pulled the curtains in a hurry and then heaved a sigh of relief.
I turned back and that was when I saw it. There was a strange man in my bed and he was naked.
“Arrrrrghggghhhh!!!” I screamed so loudly that he jumped out of bed. Once he saw me, he screamed too.
“Who the heck are you and why are you in my room… naked?” He finally stopped screaming and asked.
I was about to yell at him that he was the one in my room, but then I stopped. That wasn’t as important as the last part. Did he just say naked?
I looked down at my body and truly, I was naked. Bo*bs, a*s, full-blown naked with a strange naked man.
I screamed again, but my voice was soon muffled when he threw the sheets at my face.
“Will you just stop screaming? What are you doing in my room and who are you?” He asked again while I quickly wrapped the sheets over my body.
He got his shorts on too, and was staring at me like I was some piece of trash.
“Ohhh… I know what this is? You’re one of those girls who think they can f*ck their way into my heart?” He let out with so much pride.
The arrogant smirk on his face irked me to the bones.
“Excuse me?? I’m not one of those girls and who the heck do you think you are? I don’t know you and don’t care about whatever arrogant thing you have going on. You’re the strange one in my bed. This is my room! Why are you in my room!!” I yelled at him.
For a second, there was silence as he scanned the room. I was sure he realized his mistake, but his ego definitely wouldn’t let him admit it.
“You know what? I don’t have time for this. You’re just going to keep lying and pretending. But keep in mind that if you even think of ever blackmailing me with this, I’ll make sure I ruin you. I’ll make sure you disappear without a trace even before you make your first public appearance!” He let out firmly while dressing up quickly.
“What are you even talking about?” I let out, obviously so confused, but before I could say another word, he threw a huge wad of cash on the bed.
“That’s for your silence. Don’t ever show your face in front of me!” He fired at me, and before I could say Jack, he was out the door.
The loud bang slapped me back to my senses. My mouth was still open while I shuffled between staring at the door and money on the bed.
“Did he just pay me for s*x?” I finally found my voice.
My headache came back then and this time it was bad. Seeing the money there made it worse. How dare he pay me off like I’m some wh*re?
Oh my goodness! I had never been this embarrassed my whole life. I felt so dirty, and I just knew I had to get that shame off of my body.
I rushed into the bathroom, and stepped under the shower. I lathered myself and scrubbed every part of my body so hard. I felt relieved as the water coursed through me, washing away the humiliation.
How did I even get here?
Just a few hours ago, I was a billionaire heiress with everything I could ever want at my disposal. That came to an end when my dad rushed home and asked me to start packing my things. Not everything, just the important ones that could fit into one leather box. That was the only thing I was able to take out of the house before everything collapsed. Not the building. Our lives… my life. My world!
“What’s happening dad? Why are we moving out?” I had asked in a hurry as we rushed into the car and he zoomed off.
He didn’t answer me until we were at a safe distance from the house. He stopped the car and then turned to me.
“It’s all gone, Viola. I’m in a deep mess and I can’t drag you down with me. They found deep evidence pointing out that I embezzled the company funds. The company is in great trouble, and investors and shareholders are calling for my head.” I couldn’t even wrap my head around what he was saying and just stared at him in disbelief.
“But that’s a lie, dad! I’m the CEO, I’d know if funds are being embezzled!” I cried out.
“I know sweetheart. It’s all a setup to ruin me. But there’s nothing I can do now. I managed to escape arrest and I know they will be looking everywhere for me. I have to go into hiding for now till I find a way to prove myself.”
“Take this, it’s Frank’s address. He knows you’re coming, he will keep you safe till I’m back.” I refused to take the card from him at first, but he kept begging till I agreed.
One glance at the card and I threw it into my bag. If I’m going anywhere, it’s my boyfriend’s place. I got a ride, and I was soon outside Jake’s apartment.
The front door was locked, so I went through the back, thinking he wasn’t home, and I would just wait for him. I got to his room and I froze.
Jake was there on the bed and a lady was on him, riding the hell out of him. It wasn’t just any lady. It was an older woman, and definitely married because her diamond ring shone bright in their shamelessness.
The room was dark so they didn’t see me. They were too busy moaning and pounding hard.
Just when I thought my day couldn’t get any worse. My heart started to race, my eyes blurry from the tears now welled up in them, and my head felt so light. I couldn’t believe the sight in front of me.
Jake was so engrossed in it, fondling and kissing her, making her moan even more. Everything he did to me, I watched him do to her too.
My legs threatened to give out then, and I had to quickly grab the door frame for support. I continued watching with much horror until something in me suddenly snapped.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I just couldn’t keep watching him enjoy it while my heart shattered into pieces.
“Hey baby,” I let out as I flipped on the light switch.
My voice was shaking, but I still tried to be firm. They immediately looked in my direction but then, they couldn’t stop. They were both close to finishing, and found it hard to stop.
“Damn it! Babe… what are you doing here? Why didn’t you call me before coming?” He managed to say. But I could see the struggle on his face as he gripped her and pounded her so hard from under.
I had never been that horrified my entire life. I literally watched my boyfriend ejaculate into another woman while maintaining eye contact with me. What horror could be more than that?
I turned around, burst into tears, while he finally threw the woman to the side and ran after me, naked.
I didn’t wait, and luckily, a ride appeared just then.
“Just take me away from here!” I said to the driver as I hurried into the car.
I watched him running behind, waving at the car, but the driver didn’t stop.
Jake and I have been together for over three years and, ever since we started, I have been nothing but the perfect girlfriend to him. He was a struggling intern at the time, but once I became CEO, I used all my influence and in just six months, he was high up the ladder.
I satisfied him with everything I had. My money, time, body, and everything else. And this is what I get in return? A humiliating betrayal! He f*cking cheated on me with an older woman, a married one at that!
I didn’t even know what to do next, but once we passed Chet Hotel, I knew what I needed. Rest.
I asked the driver to drop me and I went in. I got a room, had a very cold shower and tried to sleep, but I couldn’t. The scene kept replaying in my head and I knew I had to push it out.
The only option was alcohol. Thankfully, the room came with a small bar. My body doesn’t do well with vodka, but I had no choice. I was already drunk on the first bottle but still continued. Halfway into the second one, the door rang.
I knew it was room service. I had ordered some food earlier. I opened the door but to my surprise, it was a hot tall guy standing there. And he was no room service.
His shirt was half unbuttoned and once I saw that broad chest, I was instantly hooked. He was heavily drunk too, and his eyes were also glued on my exposed cleavage.
We didn’t say a word but 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 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 got me screaming till my voice gave out and I crashed out.
The next time I opened my eyes, it was morning. I was back to being sober, but I had no idea what a strange naked man was doing in my bed!
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
Viola I didn’t even know when I slept off last night. Mark had really pissed me off but somehow, I had a really good sleep and didn’t even know how the night went by so quickly.I blinked my eyes open slowly, the faint morning light leaking through the heavy curtains. The dream I had replayed in my head and I couldn’t get enough of it. I was enjoying my old life where everything was perfect and sweet.Looking around the room now, I couldn’t understand what was happening because for a second, I forgot where I was. The sheets smelled unfamiliar, and there was a strong masculine energy in the air. The bed was far too firm, too cold and that was when it hit me. I was in Mark’s room in his bed… our room apparently.I sighed and rolled over to the other side as the reality hit me deeper. It was empty and cold and I stared at the smooth, undisturbed sheets. Of course there was no trace of him around, he must have gone to work early. He probably couldn’t wait to get away from me after the
ViolaI was really hoping Mark wouldn’t make it to dinner. I just wanted to eat in peace without seeing his wicked face. We have been trying to stay out of each other’s lanes despite sharing a room. It was working all well but Frank just had to come up with this dinner tonight and how we all have to be a happy family.Mark was running late and I was so happy until he suddenly showed up. I rolled my eyes and Brenda almost caught me. I quickly forced out a smile and then got Mark a plate just to throw her off.We started eating and I spent most of the time wearing a smile that hurt my cheeks and nodding at things I barely heard. Mark sat beside me, close enough that our arms brushed every now and then, but not once did he look at me like a man should look at his fiancé or even like a man who cared.Still, we played our parts and even when Brenda asked how we were adjusting, he reached for my hand under the table and I let him. He squeezed it like a silent warning and then looked at me
SophieIt was almost five in the evening, and I was still at my desk pretending to be focused on reports I had no interest in. My eyes kept drifting to the glass office just ahead of Mark’s office. He was there, coat already off, sleeves rolled up, leaning over his desk as he signed some documents.I saw his face and saw he looked tired. I know just the perfect way to fix it since I used to be his escape from all this… the work, the family, the pressure. He’d call me at odd hours and I’d be there, just like that. A drink, a laugh, a long night. No one knew him like I did and not only did I see all the sides the world didn’t get to see. He actually trusted me. I was the only woman who truly got him… until she showed up.My stomach churned at the thought of her name in the most annoying quiet way. I couldn’t understand how she thinks she can just come and steal what I had groomed for years. I waited until it was five and others had left for the day, then I slipped in.“Long day?” I ask
SophieThe lobby lights were dim, warm, and familiar. I didn't even have to check the room number. Calvin always picked the same one… third floor, far end, corner and suite. I chose it on our first meeting and that was because of its privacy and quietness. I just like that no one would know or be in my business. Calvin seemed to like it too and ever since then, it became our usual spot. I got to the door and used my access card to open it. The moment I stepped in, I heard the shower running and tossed my purse on the dresser, slipping off my heels. I didn’t bother calling out. He always left the bathroom door open for me. That was our thing, we didn’t do awkward greetings or small talk. Not when we already knew how the night would start.By the time I reached the bathroom doorway, he was stepping out, towel slung low on his hips, water dripping down his abs. His smirk was lazy, like he knew exactly what I came for.He wasn’t wrong though, I desperately needed some attention down ther
SophieMark walked in looking sharp and confident as ever, and as usual, my heart stupidly skipped a beat the second I heard his footsteps approaching.I adjusted my blouse quickly, smoothed down my skirt, and grabbed my tablet before heading toward his office. He hated delays and I’ve never given him one. I live to be ready for him.He had just dropped his keys on the table and was unbuttoning his blazer when I knocked once and stepped inside.“Good morning, Sir:” I let out while he looked at me and smiled. He knew I was goofing around, I always address him by his name but when I want to get some of that sweet smile, I become formal. It always works so I always use it.“Morning Sophie, you look good.” He replied and I smiled too.“Thank you, Mark.” “You’ve got two back-to-back meetings this morning,” I began, standing straight. “First is with the legal team about the Wexler contracts, and then at ten, your father requested a call with the board. Apparently, he wants to go over last
