Secret Love

Nina never imagined that saving her family would come at the cost of her freedom. When her father’s company falls into financial ruin, Nina discovers that the only way to save everything her family has built is through an arranged marriage with the one man she has spent years despising—billionaire Alex Sterling. Alex is arrogant, cold, and infuriatingly impossible to read. Their history is filled with arguments, rivalry, and enough resentment to last a lifetime. Now, they are expected to become husband and wife. Neither of them wants this marriage. Alex makes it clear that he has no intention of falling in love with his new wife, while Nina refuses to let a marriage contract control her life. But living under the same roof changes everything. The arguments become lingering glances. The hatred becomes undeniable attraction. And the man Nina once believed was her worst enemy begins revealing secrets that make her question everything she thought she knew about him. But Alex has secrets of his own. And when Nina discovers the real reason their families arranged their marriage, she realizes their wedding may have never been about saving her family at all. She was forced to marry her worst enemy. She just never expected to fall in love with him.

1: The Marriage Deal
CHAPTER ONENinaThe first time I was told I was going to marry Alex Sterling, I laughed.Not because it was funny.Because sometimes, when life becomes completely ridiculous, laughter is the only thing standing between you and a breakdown.I remember sitting at my mother’s dining table, staring at her as though she’d just announced that we’d all be moving to the moon.“I’m sorry,” I said slowly. “What did you just say?”My mother wouldn’t meet my eyes.My father did.“You heard me.”I looked from one parent to the other.Then I laughed again.“You’re joking.”Neither of them laughed.The room suddenly felt too quiet.“You’re actually serious.”My father folded his hands on the table.“Nina, this marriage has been discussed between our families for some time.”“Some time?”“Yes.”“And nobody thought to tell me?”My mother’s voice was soft.“We were waiting for the right moment.”“The right moment to tell me I’m being sold?”“Nina—”“No.”I pushed my chair back.“Absolutely not.”I sto

2: Behind the Contract
AlexI knew Nina would hate me.I expected it.What I didn’t expect was how quickly seeing her again would make me forget every reason I had spent three years avoiding her.I stood at the bottom of the staircase, watching her beside her mother.She looked exactly like I remembered.No.That was a lie.She looked better.Much better.Her hair was pulled away from her face, exposing the delicate line of her neck. She wore a simple dress that somehow made her look more dangerous than any woman covered in diamonds ever could.And those eyes.Those same eyes that had challenged me since we were children.They found mine.For a second, everything else disappeared.Then she lifted her chin.“Alex.”There it was.That voice.Still capable of irritating me with one word.I walked toward her.She didn’t move.Good.I stopped in front of her.“You look exactly as I remember.”Her eyes narrowed.“Disappointed?”I almost smiled.Still difficult.“Still difficult.”“Still arrogant.”“Still angry.”

3: Before I Become His Wife
NinaThere should be a support group for women who are being forced to marry assholes.I would be the founding member.Surviving Your Billionaire Husband Before the Wedding Even Happens.Catchy.I stare at myself in the mirror of the bridal boutique and fight the urge to laugh.The dress is beautiful.Absolutely beautiful.Ivory silk hugs my waist before falling into a dramatic train behind me. The neckline is elegant, the fabric soft against my skin, and the tiny crystals sewn into the bodice catch the light whenever I move.Any normal bride would probably cry.I want to set the dress on fire.“How do you feel?” the stylist asks excitedly.“Like I’m attending my own funeral.”She blinks.My mother gives me a look.I smile.“Sorry. I mean…beautiful.”Kimora snorts from the couch.I glance at her.She has been my best friend long enough to know when I’m lying.The stylist smiles again.“You look stunning.”“Thank you.”I turn toward the mirror.Three months.That was how long I had.Th

4: Love Is a Liability
AlexBy eight in the morning, I was already back where I belonged.At the top of the world.The thirty-eighth floor of Sterling International overlooked half the city, all glass towers and moving traffic beneath a gray morning sky. From my office, everything looked small.Manageable.That was how I liked my world.Numbers made sense.Contracts made sense.Power made sense.People were the problem.I loosened my black tie and dropped a file onto my desk.“Where are we with Milan?”My assistant looked up from her tablet.“The acquisition team is waiting for your approval.”“Tell them to stop waiting.”She blinked.“Sir?”“They have until noon.”She nodded quickly. “Yes, Mr. Sterling.”She disappeared.I sat back in my chair.Sterling International wasn’t simply a company.It was an empire.Real estate. Private equity. Luxury hotels. Shipping. Technology. Energy. Investments spread across Europe, America, and parts of Africa.My grandfather had built the first Sterling company in Milan w

5: The Secret Behind Our Marriage
NinaIf there is one thing I’ve learned about the Sterling family, it’s that they don’t ask.They decide.And apparently, I am now one of their decisions.I sit in the back of my father’s car, staring through the window as the Sterling estate comes into view.Again.“Why are we here?” I ask, even though I already know.My father adjusts his cufflinks.“Dinner.”“With the family?”“Yes.”I sigh.“Wonderful.”My mother turns around from the passenger seat.“Nina, please try to be pleasant tonight.”“I am always pleasant.”She gives me a look.“Fine. I’m pleasant when people deserve it.”The gates open.I watch them disappear behind us.The Sterling mansion looks even more intimidating at night. Warm golden lights spill through the enormous windows, making the place look almost inviting.Almost.I step out of the car and smooth down my dress.“Remember,” my mother whispers, “this is important.”Everything is important lately.The wedding.The company.The Sterling family.Alex.Especiall

6: Under His Roof
NinaMoving into Alex Sterling’s penthouse was supposed to feel temporary.At least, that was what I told myself.Three months.Ninety days.Then I would be married to the man I had spent half my life arguing with.And somehow, that thought felt more terrifying now that I was standing in front of his penthouse with two suitcases, three boxes, and enough anger to burn down the entire building.I stared at the enormous black doors.“This is ridiculous.”My mother glanced at me.“Nina.”“I could have stayed at home.”“You know you couldn’t.”“I could have gotten my own apartment.”“You know your father needs this arrangement.”I groaned.Everyone kept saying the same thing.The arrangement.The debt.The company.The wedding.Nobody seemed to remember that I was the one being married.My mother squeezed my arm gently.“You’ll be fine.”I looked at her.“With Alex?”She smiled sympathetically.“Well…”“Exactly.”She kissed my cheek before stepping back.“Try not to kill each other.”“No p

7: Rules of the house
AlexNina had been in my penthouse for exactly four hours.In those four hours, she had already rearranged the cushions in the living room, complained about the temperature, argued with my housekeeper, rejected three different dinner options, and informed me—twice—that she hated me.So far, everything was going according to plan.Almost.I stood in my study, staring at the city through the glass windows while Lucian sat across from me, looking far too entertained.“You’re enjoying this,” I said.He smiled.“Immensely.”“She hates me.”“She has hated you since you were nineteen.”“I know.”“And now she lives with you.”I turned around.“Exactly.”Lucian laughed.“You’re insane.”“Probably.”He leaned back.“So, how long before you break?”“I won’t.”“Nina is going to drive you crazy.”“She already does.”His smile disappeared for a moment.“That’s not what I meant.”I knew exactly what he meant.I walked toward the bar and poured myself a drink.Lucian watched me carefully.“You’re goi

8: The Jealousy Game
NinaBy the end of my first week living with Alex Sterling, I had learned three things.One, he was impossible.Two, he was infuriatingly attractive when he was being impossible.And three, I desperately needed a normal person in my life.Which was why Kimora was currently sitting across from me at my favorite café, staring at me like I had personally offended her.“You live with him now?”“Yes.”“Alex Sterling?”“Yes, Kimora.”“The Alex Sterling?”I sighed.“How many Alex Sterlings do you know?”She leaned back.“Unfortunately, one is already enough.”I laughed despite myself.Kimora had been my best friend since we were children. Her mother was Nigerian, like mine, while her father was African-American, and Kimora had grown up between Lagos and Atlanta. She had inherited her mother’s warm brown skin and her father’s sharp features, and somehow managed to look effortlessly beautiful even when she was insulting someone.Which was often.She reached across the table.“Tell me everythin

9: Almost
AlexI knew Nina was jealous.She thought she was hiding it.She wasn’t.The moment Victoria touched my arm, Nina’s entire expression changed.It should have amused me.Instead, I found myself wondering whether she cared.And that was dangerous.Because I had spent years convincing myself that wanting her was something I could control.Living with her was making that lie harder to maintain.I watched her from across the room as she spoke with Kimora.She looked beautiful.Not because she was dressed for attention.Because she wasn’t trying.That was always the problem with Nina.She never needed to try.She caught me staring.“What?”“Nothing.”“You’re staring.”“I was thinking.”“About?”I walked toward her.“You.”Her eyes widened slightly.“I doubt that.”“You shouldn’t.”She crossed her arms.“Was that woman your girlfriend?”“No.”“Ex?”“No.”“Someone you’re sleeping with?”My eyebrow lifted.“Are you asking because you care?”“No.”“Then why are you asking?”She opened her mouth

10: The Night We Forgot To Hate
NinaI couldn’t sleep.Which was ridiculous.It was almost two in the morning, and I had been staring at the ceiling for what felt like hours.All I could think about was Alex.More specifically—His lips.The way he had looked at me on the balcony.The way he’d admitted that if I hadn’t told him not to kiss me, he would have.I rolled onto my side.“This is a disaster.”I hated him.I had to remember that.He was arrogant.Controlling.Infuriating.And he was the reason I was living in a penthouse I hadn’t chosen, preparing for a marriage I hadn’t asked for.So why did my heart beat faster whenever he got close?I threw the blanket off and got out of bed.I needed water.Maybe that would clear my head.The penthouse was completely silent when I walked downstairs.Except for the soft sound of music.I followed it.The lights in the living room were dim.Alex stood by the windows.He was wearing black sweatpants and a plain white T-shirt.No suit.No expensive watch.No perfectly style
