Mag-log inWhat’s worse than catching your boyfriend cheating? Falling into bed with a billionaire to get revenge… and ending up pregnant. ***** Daphne thought the worst part of her week was walking in on her boyfriend tangled up with someone else. she was wrong. The real humiliation? Facing them both the very next day at her art exhibition—with the other woman on his arm. As if curating the biggest show of her career wasn’t stressful enough, now she’s stuck smiling through the pain while her ex flaunts betrayal in front of billionaires and buyers who could make or break her future. But when her ex gets a little too smug, and the crowd watches a little too closely, Daphne makes a snap decision. She grabs the nearest man. Kisses him like she means it. And pretends she didn’t just burn every bridge behind her. Only… the man she uses to deliver her revenge? He’s pasha. Reclusive billionaire. Art-world kingmaker. And the man about to drop five million dollars at the auction. One night with him was supposed to be reckless and forgettable. It turns out to be unforgettable—for all the wrong reasons. Because weeks later, Daphne’s world tilts again. She’s pregnant. And the baby’s father is a man who’s never let anyone close… and isn’t used to losing control. Now she’s caught in a dangerous game of secrets, desire, and consequences—where love was never part of the plan, but fate has other ideas. And the closer Pasha gets, the harder it becomes to remember who used who first. He gave her one night. She gave him an heir. But what happens when the fallout costs more than they’re both willing to pay?

I’ll order pizza later.Food isn’t what I’m hungry for, anyway.“You, Daphne, are everything I have ever wanted. Everything I never knew I needed.”I pause here and there along the way to taste Daphne’s sweet mouth. She lets me sweep my tongue past her lips and claim her again and again.“Pasha…”“Hush.” I slowly trail more kisses along her jaw to her ear. “Be my good girl. Let me show you everything I love about you.”When we reach the bedroom, peeling off her leggings takes no time at all. I hook my thumbs in the waistband of her panties, too, and nip her soft skin when I see how wet she already is for me.It’s so tempting to stay down here, to taste her pussy and make her cling to my head to stop from levitating off the bed.But I have other plans.When I stand back up, I turn her around so her back faces me
PASHAI love coming home to the sound of Daphne’s laughter.I hate knowing I’m about to ruin it.“Pasha!” My mother wipes her hands on her apron and nudges Daphne toward me. “I hope you’re in the mood for pierogi. We’re trying to find comfort foods that agree with her tummy.”“Solyanka sounded amazing until we popped the can of brined pickles,” Daphne explains as she slips into my arms, wrapping her own around my waist. It’s getting a little more challenging to do now that her womb is growing.I give my mother a look over the top of Daphne’s head and murmur in Russian, “I need to speak to Daphne.”Mama, to her credit, doesn’t press for details. She shucks her apron, kisses Daphne on the cheek, and slips away.Daphne watches in confusion, saying nothing until we’re alone. Then she turns to me with a hesitant eyebrow raised. “Is something wrong?”I sigh. “Brittany Cleary paid me a visit today. In my office. In what was basically themed lingerie.”Daphne stiffens. Her face falls. “Oh.”F
PASHA“The hell you will.” Mak glares at Conrad’s little consort, his fingers twitching over the piece tucked in his hidden side holster.We don’t kill civilians as a rule, but we don’t tolerate anyone who torments our family, either. And to him, Daphne is his new sister.He just might do it.Brittany all but ignores him. “Per the contract Chekhov International holds with Cleary Consulting, every department is assigned a liaison and general representative. It has come to our attention that the C-Suite was overlooked in recent restructuring. I’m here to resolve that.”Sofi arches a brow. “So resolve it, and get the fuck out. Send someone else.”“Unfortunately, I can’t do that.” The way she says it is so patronizing, like Sofi is some naive child. “There’s no one as qualified as me to handle the rigorous demands of the corporate level. It would be a gross disservice to leave you with someone less than adequate.”Brittany eyes me like I’m something on the menu she’s about to order.But i
“Aye aye, captain.” She starts texting her men the orders.Mak waits a beat to make sure we’re done plotting, then scoots up to the edge of the couch. “Cool. Great. Now, can we talk about Mama and this Arlo asshat?”Sofi rolls her eyes. “Mama is allowed to love her own life, you know. That includes boyfriends, lovers, one-night?—”“Ew. No. Fuck that.”“I think that’s his idea, yes.”Mak turns a light shade of green at the thought. “Nope. Not with that guy. Who the hell is he, anyway?”She sighs and swipes through her phone to pull up files. I’d bet a testicle she has everything from the guy’s birth certificate to the location of his prepaid burial plot.“Arlo Fedorov, fifty-eight years old. Russian national. Got married to Sasha Moskowitz Federov only two years after Otets and Mama got married. Three kids, all healthy. Wife is dead, though. Passed five years ago from ovarian cancer.”I take in every detail, my mind scrambling to fill in the blanks. “Can we trust him?”“We can trust hi
