LOGINHis body pressed me against the wall, his breath hot against my ear. “You would make a good little wife,” Damon whispered, his fingers tilting my chin until I had no choice but to meet his piercing gaze. “And maybe you should...” “I would never marry a man like you!” I spoke very firmly. And yet… my heart betrayed me, racing like it remembered a night I swore I’d buried forever. --- The first night I sold myself, it was supposed to be the last. My father had just died, the debts were drowning me, and desperation drove me into a stranger’s bed. One night. One mistake. One child I never planned for. Three years later, I’ve clawed my way through college, fought to survive, and built a life for my daughter. Now I work for Damon Blackwell—the most ruthless billionaire in America. Cold, arrogant, and addictively dangerous. Then he corners me with a shocking proposition: to be his pretend wife for a year. But how could I? How could I offer my daughter a temporary fatherhood? But Damon doesn't care. And when he meets my little girl, everything shifts. Her allergies, her quirks, her smile… everything about her was so similar to him. And suddenly, I’m staring at the man I fear and desire most, wondering... What are the odds that this man standing before me is the same man from three years ago?

You're being ridiculous.” He said, his voice teasing and dangerously seductive.I scoffed and moved even father away _ if that were possible_ and kept my eyes glued outside.The car was silent for a while and when I looked over at Damon, I realized he had fallen asleep.I let out a sigh of relief and for some reason, I laughed.I watched his face while he slept. I must have noticed before but at that moment, I couldn't help the thought that went through my head.Damon was a gorgeous man. God, Trish, get a grip, will ya? But I couldn't, get a grip, that is.My eyes flicked down to his lips and I found myself wondering what it would feel like to kiss Damon Blackwell.I remembered how his lips had brushed against my neck, my lips…soft and electrical.I shook my head and looked away from him before my th
TRICIA More than an hour went by before we finally fixed the issue. But I couldn't go home because just then he got a call from a client who complained about issues in their contract.We had to attend a last minute meeting at a restaurant which was about a thirty minute drive from the office and discuss with the clients.It took a while but Damon managed to convince them and the project was back on.I could see how the meeting strained Damon and made him tense. Even when he got the call. The contract had been worth billions and it would have been really bad if it had fallen through.As usual, there wasn't much reaction to him just saving the contract.He insisted on treating me to dinner to apologize for having to work overtime.I thought it would be bad considering he was really bad at small talk but we ended up talking about business and it was more than enough as long as we were talking.We ended up having a few drinks and I had no idea if it was because of his heavy drinking last
TRICIAI left for work for after i kissed Melody goodbye as usual. I hailed a taxi when I got outside and got in.“Blackwell Group, please.” I told him and the taxi pulled away. I leaned back with a sigh.During the drive, I couldn't help the way my mind started to drift… Was Damon in the office already? Right, if that happened, it meant I was late.My boss shouldn't arrive after I did. I thought of yesterday and I couldn't help but smile.The conversation in the car, laughing together, him getting the ice cream for Melody, it felt like something had shifted in our relationship and I was excited.Relationship? Come on, you're in over your head, Trish. I checked my makeup for suddenly no reason and stared down at my outfit.Was this an okay outfit? I wouldn't want to appear tardy in front of him. It wouldn't be bad if he noticed my outfit either.I was glad I didn't have to wear an outfit the company insisted on.I paused just as I was about to touch my lipstick, my hands stopping mid
TRICIAMelody didn't come running today. Of course she was late and she probably was asleep right now.I knocked on Mrs Lopez's door and waited. After several minutes, she walked out with drowsy eyes.“I'm so sorry to disturb you so late at night, Mrs Lopez. Melody must be asleep?” I asked.She smiled weakly. “Nonsense, Trish. Come in. She fell asleep a while ago.” She replied and opened door wider.I walked in and she led me to the bedroom where Melody was sleeping soundly wrapped in sheets she must have gotten from our room and hugging her stuffed toy.I carried her up as gently as I could and left after thanking Mrs Lopez again.I went upstairs to our place and went straight to the room. She had to eat the icecream before it melted but I couldn't wake her.I would have to eat the ice cream myself.But before I could lay her on the bed, she stirred and opened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and a smile broke across her face and her eyes brightened once they focused on me.And just li
