The Billionaire’s Temptation 8. Bringing her to the family
LoganAs I dropped Olivia off, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions swirling inside me. On one hand, I was relieved that our agreement didn't end up in an argument, and that we could focus on our businesses without any distractions. On the other hand, I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt for having to lie to my family about our situation.I knew my family would never approve of the co-parenting agreement, let alone the idea of getting married to someone I barely knew. But it was the only solution I could come up with to save my business and my reputation. And Olivia was the only one who was willing to help me out.As I drove home, my thoughts drifted back to Olivia. I wondered how she was doing and whether she is preparing for tomorrow. I knew that we had a long road ahead of us, but I was determined to make things work.I walked into the dining room to find my entire family seated and engaged in lively conversation. It was as if nothing had changed, but I knew that everyth
The Billionaire’s Temptation 9. Rules and traditions
OliviaFinding myself in the kitchen at 6 o'clock a day after my arrival at Logan's family house is the last thing I expected to happen to me. My sleep from last night to morning was like a one hour nap. I couldn't help but feel a bit confused. The maid had said my attention was needed at the kitchen, but now it seemed like there was no one around. I glanced at the clock on the wall, confirming that it was indeed 6 o'clock in the morning. It was still early, and I wondered why I had been called to the kitchen at this time.Feeling a mix of curiosity and apprehension, I decided to explore the kitchen a bit more. Perhaps someone would show up soon and shed some light on why I was summoned here. As I walked around, I noticed the neatly arranged pots and pans, the gleaming countertops, and the faint aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingering in the air. It was a well-maintained and organized kitchen, reflecting the grandeur of the mansion.I took a seat at the island in the center of the
The Billionaire’s Temptation 10. Fractured Trust
LoganI sounded my fist on Olivia's door while waiting for her to open up. I'm running late. And after what she told me last night, we have to be cautious. My family shouldn't know about it. I have to warn her to be careful. "Oliv-"And then the door swung open, revealing Olivia in her sleep-rumpled state. I don't know if the rules have been explained to her. "Good morning," she muffled out, yawning. I walked past her into the room, a sense of urgency driving my words."We have to be careful," I started, my tone serious. "Last night, you mentioned that Amelia knows about your pregnancy. It's crucial that we keep this information hidden from the rest of the family. They can't find out."Olivia regained her composure, her eyes meeting mine in disbelief. "You should have informed me that your sister-in-law is a doctor. I wouldn't have agreed to come to your house if I knew that."I ran my hands through my hair in frustration, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on me. "That

Olivia"So you mean to tell me that you can't stay outside past 10pm?" Jamie asked after I broke the news of the rules and traditions in the Nero family."Yes, that's what I was told," I replied, feeling a mix of frustration and resignation. Jamie's disbelief mirrored my own sentiments. It seemed unfair and restrictive, but I knew I had to abide by these rules for the time being."Wow. What a tradition. But that's bullshit. You're not part of the family, so I don't see the reason why you would be included in their traditions," Jamie exclaimed, voicing the thoughts that echoed in my mind. If it were Jamie in my position, she would never agree to such limitations. And to be honest, neither would I under normal circumstances. But now, I had to prioritize my baby's well-being and make sacrifices."I'm part of the family and yet not part of the family," I mused, sitting up as a customer walked into the clinic. Being in a complicated situation like this required delicate balance and tact. I
The Billionaire’s Temptation 12. Whispers of deception
Olivia I thought I would be able to go back to sleep but as soon as I heard the knock from the door followed by the maid voice, I know my sleep will be short lived."Yeah, I will be on my way now" I yelled out before she could announce to me. I'm ready for them today. I'm definitely going to break a rule today. That one is for sure. And Logan will have to bear the consequences for that. As I finally mustered the courage to get out of bed, I walked straight to the bathroom and took a shower before I embark on the journey to the kitchen. Only for me to see the maid there. I wonder why they choose to hire one maid. Is it because of the so called tradition. "Where are the rest?" I asked her."They're-""Amelia has left for the hospital. I'm the only one here. Looks like you've gotten ready for the today already" Sarah access my body as she stepped into the kitchen. I couldn't help but be cautious of how her eyes raked my body. I shrugged off Sarah's comment, trying not to let her judgm
The Billionaire’s Temptation 13. Confronting conflict
LoganToday had been one hectic day for me. First of all, I didn't get enough sleep. Only I know the amount of rage that filled me when my phone rang in the middle of the night, waking me up from the sleep I struggled to create for myself. It took every ounce of patience within me not to storm to Olivia’s room and give her a piece of my mind.Living with anxiety has always made falling asleep one of the hardest things for me. The medication that Amelia prescribed used to work, but now it feels like the anxiety has overpowered its effects. It's a constant battle, and it leaves me feeling exhausted and on edge.Secondly, the meeting with the investors was beyond stressful. Running a business isn't easy. There are constant challenges, ups and downs, and today was no exception. Negotiations, financial projections, and high expectations weighed heavily on my shoulders. It's a delicate balancing act, trying to secure deals while maintaining the stability and growth of the company.As I fina
The Billionaire’s Temptation 14. Bickering
Olivia I could feel his gaze as he followed me downstairs out of Jamie’s apartment. I didn't know what has gotten into me that I lash out on him. At some point, I needed someone to let out my anger on. Some part of me wants him to care even if not for me. At least for the baby. I know there’s no way he will leave there without me not with the way his eye danced with sadness after my outburst. At least he would drive me home for the sake of his so called reputation. The night was already mingling with the clouds of midnight. There are barely taxi passing by. “Get in the car” I heard him say. I pretended as if I didn’t hear him until he said it again.I rolled my eyes before walking towards the car. As I got in the car, I could feel the tension thickening in the air. The silence between us was suffocating, heavy with unspoken words and unresolved emotions. I slid into the passenger seat, avoiding eye contact with Logan.The engine roared to life, breaking the silence with its familia
The Billionaire’s Temptation 15. Uninvited slap
OliviaI lifted my face from the computer screen as Mr. Cameroon walked into the clinic with his dog. A smile immediately spread across my face as I greeted them both. With enthusiasm, I crouched down to the dog's level and began petting him gently."Hey buddy, how have you been?" I cheerfully asked the furry friend, who responded with a wagging tongue and wiggling body. Mr. Cameroon stood by, a grateful smile playing on his lips."Well, he's been pretty fine. He wouldn't allow me to rest ever since he got his energy back," Mr. Cameroon shared, and I nodded in understanding. "I'm glad he is," I replied, genuinely happy to hear about the dog's progress.Mr. Cameroon's appreciative smile grew wider. "I was on my way from meeting a friend when I thought I'd stop by to check up on you. Glad you're good," he said, his kind words touching my heart."Thank you, Mr. Cameroon. Let me get you a cup of coffee," I offered, wanting to show my gratitude for his unexpected visit.But he shook his he
