LOGINJada Adams is just trying to survive-working long shifts at one of the most luxurious hotels in the country, keeping her head down, and ignoring the quiet ways her life is already falling apart. When nausea turns into something she can no longer deny, the truth becomes terrifyingly clear. She's pregnant. Castiel Sterling is thirty, powerful, and untouchable-the CEO of Sterling Hotel, heir to a hospitality dynasty, and a man who has spent years believing he would never become a father. His marriage is already strained by secrets and unspoken resentment, so when Jada tells him the impossible truth, he does the only thing that makes sense to him. He accuses her of lying. Of wanting his money. But the truth has a way of clawing its way to the surface. As lies unravel and betrayals from the past come to light, Castiel is forced to confront the fact that his life and his marriage were never what he believed them to be. And Jada must decide whether love is worth the pain of being doubted, judged, and pulled into a world that was never meant for her.
View MoreJADA'S POVI pushed through the glass doors of the hospital and stepped into the cool, air-conditioned lobby. The place was even much bigger than I'd expected. The floors were spotless, the walls were painted in soft shades of cream and white, and several people sat around waiting to be helped.I looked around until I spotted a large sign pointing toward the Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) Outpatient Department.Taking a deep breath, I headed toward the reception desk and joined the short queue. I kept my head down, hoping I didn't attract too much attention. When it was finally my turn, I approached the receptionist."Good morning. How can I help you?" she asked with a polite smile."Good morning. I'd like to register for an appointment with Dr. Cassian Sterling."She began typing on her computer. "Do you have an appointment already, ma'am?""Yes. Ten o'clock.""May I have your name, please?"I hesitated for a second, but was really no point in hiding my name. "Jada Adams," I answ
JADA'S POVI pressed my phone against my ear, my leg bouncing nervously as I waited for the other person to answer. It rang a few more times before she finally picked up."Hey, Lisa. It's Jada." "Oh, hey, girl! What's up?""I'm okay." I said, shifting the phone to my other ear. "I just wanted to ask you something.""Okay?""Do you happen to know if Rose is working at the hospital tomorrow? Or maybe what time her shift starts?"I bit the inside of my cheek, silently praying that, for once, things would go my way.Please say no. Please say no."Uhm... she's definitely working tomorrow, but I'm not sure what time though."I closed my eyes and leaned back against the couch, placing a hand on my forehead.Of course she was.Because why the hell would anything ever be easy for me?"Do you need her for something?" Lisa asked."No, not really. I just wanted to talk to her." I lied.The truth was, I only wanted to know if I could go to my appointment tomorrow without bumping into her.Was tha
JADA'S POV"Are you okay?"That was the first thing Cas asked me when I stopped in front of him in the lobby.I simply nodded and adjusted the strap of my bag on my shoulder.He looked like he didn't believe me, but thankfully decided not to push. He probably noticed that I wasn't in the mood. I was so angry right now. I didn't want to talk.How dare Clarissa call me a bitch?How dare she accuse me of wanting Amechi?Sure, I found the guy attractive, and if he were to ever ask me out, I probably wouldn't say no. But that didn't mean I had been trying to get with him. I had never flirted with him with the intention of being more than what we already were. I simply enjoyed being around him. I liked talking to him. He was friendly, kind, and always treated me well.That was it.So for Clarissa to come at me like that, throwing baseless accusations, really pissed me off."Come on, let's go," Cas said, gesturing for me to walk ahead.I started walking, and he followed just behind me.I c
JADA'S POVI felt like he could see right through me.The way his eyes stayed on me, his brows drawn together like he was trying to figure me out, only made me more nervous. Instead of calming down, I was freaking the hell out inside. All I wanted was to get the hell out of there.I didn't even understand why the thought of him finding out about the baby scared me so much.Well... maybe I did.He was married, and from everything I had seen, he seemed happy with his wife. So expecting him to be okay with this was probably stupid. This baby could destroy his marriage. And even though I didn't really know him, I wouldn't put it past him to call what happened between us a mistake and tell me to get rid of it.After all, he had already left me alone in that hotel room after sleeping with me.So why would I expect him to act any differently now?"Ma'am, we have a situation down in the lobby." Lenny said, standing at the door.Ms. Baron stood up from where she had been sitting on the edge o
