Emma’s POV

There was a certain irony in the way life delivered its curveballs—when everything finally seemed to settle into place, it unraveled in the most unexpected of ways.

I stared at the tiny stick in my hand, the second one this morning. Two pink lines. Not faint, not questionable. Clear. Bold. Undeniable.

Pregnant.

The word didn’t even feel real.

I sat on the cool marble floor of our bathroom, my silk robe pooling around me. My entire body felt like it had gone numb. And yet, somewhere in the back of my mind, a flurry of thoughts swirled—like leaves in a violent gust of wind. I was married. We were stable. Happy even. This shouldn’t be terrifying.

But it was.

Because this wasn’t part of the plan. Not now. Not while we were still fighting off the scandal of our past being leaked to the media. Not while Dad was still watching us like a hawk, waiting for us to mess

  • Ruthless Temptation    Big Decisions

    Emma’s POV It was like a switch flipped in my brain. One moment, I was just Emma—the boss’s daughter, the wife navigating corporate gossip, the woman still trying to shake off the label of “scandalous affair turned real.” The next, I was Emma, a woman growing life, carrying something precious inside of me. Every breath felt heavier. Every decision, more significant. “Should we tell your father?” Killian asked one evening, as we laid in bed, lights off, but the silence loud between us. I stared at the ceiling, fingers laced over my stomach. “No. Not yet. Not until I feel ready.” He nodded, turning on his side to face me. “What about work? People will notice eventually.” “I know,” I sighed. “I don’t want to deal with the stares. The whispers. They’ll say it was planned. That I trapped you.” His eyes darkened. “Let them talk. We know the truth.” “But they w

  • Ruthless Temptation   An Unexpected Pregnancy Scare

    Emma’s POV It started with the smallest thing—a missed period. At first, I brushed it off. Stress, jet lag, long nights and even longer meetings… it could’ve been anything. But by day three, my confidence began to crack. Day five? I was panicking. I stared down at my calendar, then at the unopened pregnancy test sitting at the bottom of my Louis Vuitton tote like a ticking time bomb. I’d bought it in secret during lunch, wearing sunglasses and a scarf like I was hiding from the paparazzi. Because honestly? I felt exposed. Vulnerable. I wasn’t ready for this. We’d only just gotten married. We were still figuring out how to be partners outside of boardrooms and bedrooms. How would we handle a baby? Hell, did I even want one? My stomach twisted with guilt at the thought. I didn’t hate the idea… I just wasn’t sure. And Killian he deserved to choose. Not be b

  • Ruthless Temptation    Marriage Doesn’t Change Them

    Killian’s POV If anyone thought marriage would tame us, they clearly didn’t know us at all. Two weeks into being husband and wife, and we were worse than ever—reckless, impatient, insatiable. It was like the ring on her finger had given us permission to abandon every last shred of self-control. Emma was still the same firestorm—sharp-tongued, effortlessly elegant, and impossible to ignore. Especially when she strutted into the office wearing those pencil skirts that hugged her hips like they were sculpted for sin, heels clicking like a warning. And I? I was still the man who couldn’t stop wanting her. “Your wife is on the warpath,” Zoe, one of the assistants, whispered as she passed my desk. I smirked. “Noted.” Emma stormed into the executive wing like a queen her eyes sharp, lips painted deep red, and her walk laced with purpose. She didn’t spare me a glance, but I sa

  • Ruthless Temptation   The Wedding Night

    Emma’s POV The moment the last guest left, and the door to the honeymoon suite closed behind us, the silence felt like a soft exhale—like the entire world had finally fallen away, leaving just us. I turned slowly, the weight of the wedding gown suddenly more noticeable now that the adrenaline had faded. Killian was watching me with that look—that smoldering, soul-piercing gaze that had made me fall so hard for him. He walked toward me slowly, his tux jacket already draped over a nearby chair, bow tie loosened, shirt slightly unbuttoned. Every step he took made my pulse race harder. “We’re finally here,” I whispered, my voice trembling with anticipation. Killian stopped in front of me, brushing a strand of hair from my cheek. “We made it.” There was a reverence in his touch. Like he couldn’t believe I was his. Like we hadn’t just stood in front of hundreds of people hours ago and vowe

  • Ruthless Temptation   Fighting the Backlash

    Killian’s POV The backlash was immediate. The media didn’t just take the bait—they devoured it. News cycles dissected every word, every look, every photo Emma and I had taken together since graduation. Old classmates came out of nowhere, offering embellished stories for a taste of attention. “Sleeping her way to the top,” they called her. “Social-climbing scholarship boy,” they labeled me. It was disgusting. Dehumanizing. But the worst part wasn’t what they said about me. I’d grown used to people underestimating me. No—what gutted me was watching them try to rip her apart. Emma, who had fought twice as hard to prove she was more than just her last name. Emma, who never took the easy way out. She didn’t cry. She didn’t crack. But I saw it in her eyes at night—when her makeup was wiped off and her voice was quiet—that it hurt. So I made a vo
