LOGIN"Everything was fine, until it wasn't. And that was because I was carrying a billionaire's baby from a one-night stand. A cold-hearted billionaire with an enormous ego. The question is, will that baby be my escape from my narcissistic parents, or will it bring even more complications, as I strike a deal with a billionaire? "I am your typical billionaire, the kind who walks around with a proud aura. A one-night with a woman brings me a solution to all of my troubles. But the problem was, I couldn't understand if this woman was bringing me another chance at happiness, or she was just karma, here for a payback."
View MoreXavier kissed Sierra deeply while thrusting inside her, wet heat, faster and harder. Her light blue eyes, which almost looked grey are dilated while her cherry red lips are parted. Her black body con dress is pooled around her waist while her heels dug into his back. Her hair is a mess, and she looked like she was ravished thoroughly. Her neck is red because of his bite mark which he left there intentionally.
The room is filled with her low moans and his groans of pleasure. Soon, her walls tightened around him and she came while digging her nails onto his neck. She is biting her lips so as to not make any loud noise and alert Xavier's fiance who was in the other room. He is dressed in his black tux, ready to attend his 'So called' engagement party. He was not planning to ravish Sierra, who is a decade younger than him and also the best friend of his niece. But when he looked at her in that black dress and noticed how she had the attention of every male in the party, he couldn't stop himself from staking his claim like a caveman. He pulled her into his room and found himself buried inside her before she could understand what he was doing. She was left hanging between the irresistible need for him and the guilt that he saw piling in her mind. But her need for him won. She is addicted to him, as much as he is addicted to her. The moment he touches her, her body takes over all of her reasoning, leaving her at his mercy.After his release, he pulled out of her and adjusted his clothes. She is still lying on the bed, looking as if she wanted to be anywhere but here. He ignored her and cleaned up their juices that are now dripping from between her legs. After that, he pulled her up from the bed and adjusted her clothes as if nothing happened.
He saw how her gaze is burning with unanswered questions and guilt. But he is not ready to answer her questions now. He turned to leave, but was forced to stop.
"Why? Why are you doing this? You are about to get engaged to Nancy Thomas. Why don't you let me go? I don't want to live the rest of my life like your mistress" Sierra finally gathered enough courage to talk to him. Xavier stopped dead in his tracks. Slowly he turned to face her. His pitch black eyes are burning with anger. Sierra took a step back, trying to get away from him. He was always cold and detached. But she couldn't feel but drown herself in the abyss of dark gaze, the only place where she could feel alive and breathing.The only emotion she ever saw in his eyes was when they were in bed, and it's more often than she preferred. He never forced her though. Her body has a mind of its own when he touches her, and her body refuses to listen to reason.
"Is it? So you want to replace Nancy and be my wife instead?" he asked in a tone which made Sierra shudder with fear.
But she stood her ground. This is not what she wanted for herself.
"No, I want you to leave me and let me go. Let's just forget that we never met" she spoke honestly.
But her words managed to anger him even more. In two long strides, he erased the distance between them and stood in front of her, invading her personal space. He pinched her chin to the point where she felt the sting.
"Too bad Princess, you should have thought about the consequences when you decided to come into my room and offered yourself to me. I am your first, and I will be your last. You made your choice, now I am obsessed with your body. So you are stuck with me, as mine" he spoke darkly, making her spine shudder.
Her eyes became round and wide at his claim.
His words are ringing with possessiveness which scared Sierra. Her already messed up life took a turn for the worst after she met him.
"Please Xavier" she begged him, tears pooling in her gaze.
Something flashed in the dark depths of his gaze. But he didn't say anything. He simply leaned and planted a kiss on her lips. Just a close mouth kiss, as if to pacify her.
He pulled back and looked at her with his penetrating gaze.
"Be a good girl, Sierra. Compose yourself and attend my engagement party. You don't want to disappoint Claire, now do you?" he asked, using her best friend as bait. Her best friend, who is sweet and also his niece.
With that said, he left her there. She doesn't want to attend his engagement, she doesn't want to be there. But still, she composed herself and left the room.
After ten minutes, she found herself looking at Xavier. His fiancee Nancy is holding his hand while he is speaking with one of the guests. He looked extremely handsome and unapproachable. Most of the guests looked half scared to approach him. Xavier Woods, a man who can make grown men piss their pants with just one glare. A man who is so mysterious, and the CEO of the Woods cooperation. No one knows much about him, except what he wanted everyone to know. His name ignites fear, his cold gaze is a command.
Sierra turned away from him, when he lifted his intense gaze and looked directly at her.
'How did my life turn like this?' she thought sadly.
"Si, what are you thinking? Come on, let's go and dance" Claire, her best friend who is oblivious to everything pulled Sierra to the dance floor. On the dance floor, a few men approached Sierra for a dance. But she refused. One of them insisted, only to be pulled away from her roughly by Xavier's assistant and best friend.
"The boss's order" the assistant explained.
Sierra looked in the direction of Xavier, whose gaze is burning with anger.'You are mine' he is staking his claim even without speaking it out loud. And he is still holding his fiancee.
It took her just two weeks to land in this mess. Now, she is thinking if she could ever get out of it.
Asher's pov The week drifted by like a breeze. Since the kiss, something inside Asher had shifted—something he couldn't understand. He felt it in the way his steps no longer echoed with the same hollow rhythm through the marble floors of the house. He felt it in the way his chest didn’t feel so heavy in the mornings, in how the sound of Audrey’s soft laughter seemed to linger longer in his mind than it should.In the office, the boardroom buzzed with cautious energy. Normally, when Asher strode in, silence would fall—everyone waiting for the sharp tone that bellowed out immediate and harsh critiques. But today was different. He sat at the head of the table, with fingers interlinked and soft eyes.He actually listened with rapt attention to the proposal presentation.He even said a short but kind “Good work,” at the end of the proposal, catching his team off guard. Asher didn’t notice their shock. His mind was elsewhere—caught somewhere between the quiet electricity of the kiss of
Third person POV.A week passed, and in that week silence became a third inhabitant of the mansion.The house—so large, so elegantly decorated, so full of staff—felt like an empty cathedral where sound dared not echo. The clink of dishes at mealtimes, the muffled footsteps of housekeepers, the occasional closing of a door: those were the only reminders that life still pulsed within its walls. But between Asher and Audrey, there was nothing. Not a word. Not a glance. Not even the accidental brush of fingertips when they crossed paths.Audrey felt herself fraying at the edges. Her sleep was thin, fragile, torn apart by jolts of panic. Every time she closed her eyes, the dream returned: the faceless woman chasing her, knife glinting, shadows stretching longer than her breath. Even awake, she felt watched. The text still sat in the crevices of her mind, a haunting reminder—I warned him. She had let it replay over again in her mind but she hadn’t told Asher, or anyone. Some nights she w
Third person POV.The morning after Audrey's nightmare was oddly quiet. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, but it felt colder than usual. Audrey stared at the text on her phone over and over again: “I warned him.” She wondered in gut-wrenching fear who exactly had sent her the message, and who was the “he” the message talked about. Did this have to do with her father? Has one of his shady business partners come hunting her down? She stared at the message until her vision blurred, trying to convince herself it was a mistake, a coincidence, heck–even a prank. But the trembling in her fingers and the invisible weight in her chest told her it wasn’t. Someone was watching. And maybe that someone knew. Knew everything about her, maybe even about the baby. Maybe the contract. Maybe everything.She deleted the message quickly, shoved the phone under her pillow, and curled up again, arms wrapped around herself as if they could keep her safe. Her heart pounded for hours until she h
Third person POV.Asher stirred from sleep earlier than usual. The dawn light hadn’t yet broken through the thick curtains of his bedroom, but he was already sitting upright, his mind curiously at ease for once. Last night’s dream was one he wished he wouldn't wake up from, it lingered in his memory and he didn't want it to leave. Audrey in his arms, the softness of her breath against his shirt, the taste of her lips. The ache in his chest had shifted into something warm, dangerous, and real, and he was willing to explore it. He pulled on a grey cashmere sweater and a pair of black slacks, his movements unusually light for a man who carried the weight of an empire on his shoulders.Downstairs, he found Audrey sipping a glass of orange juice, her oversized sweater barely managing to hide the curve of her growing belly. She looked up, surprised to see him so early.“Morning,” he said, voice lower than usual. He let his eyes sweep over her subtly as he walked into the open-plan kitche

I stared at Asher and Mason in disbelief. Asher looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but here, and Mason looked like he was enjoying the situation. It felt like I was the butt of someone's joke, because the universe sure has a fucked up way of being funny. It seemed like all the decisions I
