Runaway with a Baby
Elena Bennett, the illegitimate daughter of the Bennetts, was never supposed to matter. The unwanted daughter of a powerful family, hidden away like a dirty secret. But one night—one reckless, alcohol-soaked night—changed everything. Elias Vanguard, billionaire bad boy, notorious womanizer, and a man with enough family drama to sink an empire. Their drunken encounter becomes front-page news, and suddenly, they’re both drowning in a scandal neither of them wants. His solution? A fake marriage to clean up his reputation. Her motivation? The chance to finally claw her way out of the shadows and show everyone who they messed with. But playing house with a man who treats her like dirt wasn't part of the fantasy. Elias brings home his mistresses like it’s nothing, and with every insult, Elena’s heart cracks a little more. Until one day, he shoves divorce papers at her—because his precious mistress is supposedly pregnant. Elena signs the papers, disappears, and rebuilds herself from the ashes. Five years later, she’s a tech powerhouse, running the biggest company in the States, raising her son alone. Meanwhile, Elias is down on his luck, crippled from an accident, and abandoned by everyone he thought he could trust. When fate brings their worlds crashing together again, Elias isn’t the man he used to be. And Elena? Well, she’s the woman he should’ve never let go. But with betrayal, heartbreak, and an empire of her own to protect, forgiveness isn’t on her list of priorities. He wants her back. But this time, Elena's playing by her own rules.

The Scandal Elena's POV It's been a few days ever since my steamy encounter with the stranger from the bar, I had never told anyone about it. I had promised myself that I would take the secret with me to the grave but one morning changed everything, placing my carefully curated world that I had built over time on the verge of falling apart. On a Monday morning, I was in the kitchen doing the dishes as usual. Ever since Dad's death I've literally become a slave in this house. I do everything from sweeping to mopping, I also did the laundry but I didn't let it get to me. It was all about survival and I couldn't care less about the maltreatment I was receiving from my step mother and my step sister. Today was no different for my stepmom and stepsister. They were attending another extravagant gala event. “Elena.” My stepmom, Selena, called from behind. “Yes.” I said, I rinsed my hands beneath the running water cleaning it on the apron tied on my waist as I turned towards her.

Family FeudMeanwhile, back at the Vanguard Estate, Elias sat at the back seat of his car as his driver drove into the parking lot of the large building that towered before them. A place where Elias once called home when he was younger but now it's like an empty shell of his younger self. He had felt that way ever since his mother's death and he wouldn't stop blaming his father for her death. He had watched him beat her to pulp whenever they had a little argument. He had always cried whenever he remembered his mother. She had committed suicide because of how Dr. Reginald, Elias' father, treated her. Elias might have been young but he wasn't blind nor deaf. He saw everything, the evening beating, the early morning argument. When his mom had committed suicide Dr. Reginald had lied to the rest of the world that she was suffering from a mental illness. Dr. Reginald called it bipolar disorder, what an intentional and precise liar. The car came to a halt as the driver walked out of his se

The Aftermath Elena's POV The bed felt so soft, the sheets smelled unfamiliar, tinged with something sharp and expensive. I rolled over, the bed quite bigger than the bed I was used to. My hands slowly pat the empty side of the bed only to feel pillows, as I turned, a sharp beam of light flashes through the curtains poking my eyes. I squinted immediately, my hands rubbing my eyes. I turned to see a man standing by the window side at the other end. I looked at the room, taking it all in. The large floor to ceiling window was draped in expensive curtains and the room was large enough to contain five king size beds. By the corner of the room was a mini bar with all kinds of wines in stock. I turned, my eyes darting towards the empty wine glass on the bed side table, a half burnt cigarette and a half filled glass of wine. My gaze went back to the man standing by the window. He was adjusting his cufflinks, he stood there not bothered by my obvious confusion. I tried to recall what happ

A Night UnplannedElena's POV His lips pressed against mine as he held my hands against the cold walls within the large hotel room. The room was dimly lit, a large king size bed sitting heavily in the middle of the room. At the corner of the room was a mini bar that was filled with all kinds of drinks. The kiss intensed as we both separated, gasping for air. “You’re a good kisser.” His voice was a rough whisper, eyes locked on mine like I was some kind of puzzle he was desperate to solve. Something about the intensity of it made me shiver, but I didn’t want to dwell on it. His lips crashed and landed on mine as he pulled me away from the wall, his arms slowly wrapped around my waist as we staggered back towards the large king size bed. His arms went lower as he lifted me and placed me on top of the bed. I was still very dizzy and subconscious because of the excessive drink we had at the bar. We both parted lips, his hands going down his blue pants as he unbuckled his belt, throwin
