LOGINBlurb: Elena Hart’s life crumbled in twenty-four hours. Her secret relationship with her boss is weaponised against her. Her promotion is stolen. Her boss’s new fiancé humiliates her in front of the entire company and is if that wasn’t enough— she’s fired over fabricated evidence she can’t even fight because everything points at her credentials. With her father’s life hanging by a thread and her only hope to pay for his surgery stolen, Elena thinks she has reached the end of it all…until Alaric Carrington—and the last person she expected to see again offers her a deal almost bold to speak aloud: Marry me. Carry my child. I’ll save your father and restore your reputation…and give you the power to exact your revenge on Xavier. It’s insane, reckless, almost impossible. But Elena has run out of options —and yet real danger isn’t the contract. She is about the learn that some answers are worth any cost —her sister’s disappearance. And she’s ready to pay; either it could destroy her…or save her.

Because I don’t know why he wouldn’t take any action against Elena.Every conversation ended the same way.“Be patient.”“We’re being watched.”“This isn’t the right time.”I was tired of waiting.While he hesitated, Elena climbed higher inside Carrington Empire.First, the engagement.Then the heir announcement.Now the charity gala.Soon enough, the board would begin seeing her as the future Mrs. Carrington.If that happened…Everything I had worked for would disappear.I pulled my car into the driveway of the Bennett estate just after seven.The sprawling mansion had been Xavier’s home long before we got engaged. It was elegant, secluded, and surrounded by enough security to keep unwanted visitors away.One of the maids opened the front door before I reached it.“Miss Sabrina.” She smile
Alaric’s POVI had just finished signing the last contract when Alex knocked once before entering my office.One look at his face told me this wasn’t routine; the week had been going on. I quickly dropped the pen and turned my full attention to him. I nodded for my assistant to leave us.He closed the door behind him and waited until my assistant had left before speaking.“We have a problem.” He said I capped my pen. “Sit.”He didn’t.Instead, he placed a tablet and a thick folder on my desk.“I think we’ve found the leak.” He rasped as his voice cracked a bit.Every muscle in my body tensed. “What leak?”“The one feeding information about Elena.”The room fell silent.I slowly pushed the paperwork aside. “Explain.”Alex opened the folder, revealing several photographs, security logs, and printed emails.“For the past two weeks, I had IT monitor every digital request involving Mrs. Carrington’s schedule.”I looked through the documents.“Who has access?” I asked.“You.” He replied.
Elena’s POVBy the time I left Carrington Empire, the sun was already beginning to set.Instead of heading home, I gave the driver a different destination.“St. Anne’s Medical Center.”The driver met my eyes in the rearview mirror. “Yes, Mrs. Carrington.”I leaned my head against the window as the city drifted past.It had been almost weeks since I’d visited Dad.Between work, doctor’s appointments, and everything happening at the mansion, I hadn’t realized how much time had slipped away.Guilt settled heavily in my chest.No matter how busy life became…He was still my father.The familiar scent of antiseptic greeted me the moment I stepped onto the recovery floor.Several nurses smiled as I passed.“Good evening, Mrs. Carrington.”I smiled back.“Good evening.”One of them stopped me outside Room 312.“Your father had physical therapy this afternoon.” She said.“How did it go?” I asked.“Very well.” She smiled.“He’s walking short distances with assistance now.”Relief washed over m
Xavier’s POVI hated the Carrington Empire.Not because of the building.Not because of the employees.Because every time I walked through its doors, I was reminded of one thing.None of it belonged to me.It should have.For years, my father had assured me that I would eventually take over the company. I grew up believing it. I acted like it. Hell, most of the executives treated me like the future CEO.Then Alaric Carrington returned. Everything changed.I stepped out of the elevator onto the executive floor, ignoring the polite greetings from employees. Their smiles weren’t genuine anymore.They respected Alaric.They tolerated me.There was a difference.I pushed open my office door.Sabrina was already inside.She didn’t look happy.“They approved it.”I tossed my briefcase onto the couch. “What now?”She threw a folder onto my desk.“The charity gala.”I opened it.At first, nothing caught my attention.Then I saw it.Host: Elena Carrington.My jaw tightened.“They’re putting her

(Elena’s POV)I couldn’t breathe.For a moment, I genuinely couldn’t.The room seemed to shrink around me.The walls.The bed.The windows.Everything.All I could hear was the pounding of my heart.Used Maya’s employee credentials.The words echoed inside my head like a cruel joke.Because Maya wa
(Elena’s POV)Alaric didn’t finish the sentence.The silence that followed his words were worse than anything he could have said.I waited—my heart pounding faster than drumroll, breath shallow just for Alaric to continue. For a name, an identity, a truth that would finally rip the wound open inste
(ELENA’S POV) “Easy,” he whispered above my ears. “It’s over now.” Not yet but that moment I pretended it was. Alaric didn’t let go of me immediately he allowed me to sob out my heart. His arms stayed around me like he was anchoring me in place, steadying the parts of me that were too hard to hi
