The fitting room descended into a silent, suffocating freeze.

The master tailor and his assistants backed out of the space in hushed terror, slipping through the side doors as if the air itself had turned into poison. I stood frozen on the velvet podium, clad in the midnight-blue silk gown that now felt less like armor and more like a silk shroud.

His first secret marriage in Zurich.

His first wife is still legally alive.

You are his mistress.

The words hammered against my brain with merciless

  • The CEO’s Contract Mommy   Crimson Gas

    The sweet, heavy white fumes billowed instantly from the canister, turning the ambient air into a suffocating, blinding cloud.My lungs burned with the instinctive urge to inhale, but Alexander’s hand was locked over my mouth and nose like an iron clamp. His massive frame crushed me down against the plush velvet booth floor, completely shielding my head and torso beneath his dark suit jacket."Hold your breath, Chloe," his voice rumbled fiercely against my ear, low and razor-sharp despite the chaos.Above us, heavy tactical boots slammed against the hardwood floor."Take the girl! Vance wants her alive!"The distorted, synthetic voice barked through the thick haze. The velvet curtain separating our private alcove was ripped off its rings with a loud metallic tear. Two mercenaries clad in black tactical gear and breathing masks surged into the booth, their boots skidding on the broken crystal glass from our spilled champagne.Alexander didn't wait for them to acquire their targets.Ope

  • The CEO’s Contract Mommy   The Ghost of Zurich

    The fitting room descended into a silent, suffocating freeze.The master tailor and his assistants backed out of the space in hushed terror, slipping through the side doors as if the air itself had turned into poison. I stood frozen on the velvet podium, clad in the midnight-blue silk gown that now felt less like armor and more like a silk shroud.His first secret marriage in Zurich.His first wife is still legally alive.You are his mistress.The words hammered against my brain with merciless precision. I turned slowly on my heels to face Alexander. The ten-carat diamond on my finger suddenly felt like a scalding iron branding my skin.Alexander didn't flinch. He didn't blink. But the muscle in his jaw twitched so violently that a vein pulsed along his throat. His ice-blue eyes turned into absolute zero, locking onto Chief Marcus with a gaze that could wither steel."Say that again," Alexander commanded, his voice dropping into a register so low it vibrated through the floorboards un

  • The CEO’s Contract Mommy   Echoes of Betrayal

    The audio file hissed through the tiny speaker of my phone, a low, ominous white noise that seemed to suck all the oxygen right out of the penthouse suite."Chloe... if you're hearing this... don't trust Alexander Sterling. He didn't save me... he's the one who framed me..."My father’s voice—weak, raspy, and filled with a raw, agonizing terror—echoed in the sun-drenched room.The world around me tilted on its axis. The floor beneath my heels suddenly felt like thin glass suspended over a bottomless abyss. I stared down at the glowing screen of my phone, my fingers locking up so tight they went completely numb.Alexander.The man kneeling beside me. The man who had pulled me into his arms, who had shielded me from bullets in an elevator, who had kissed me in front of hundreds of screaming journalists and sworn that my war was his war.He didn't save me... he's the one who framed me."Chloe?"Alexander’s deep, baritone voice cut through the roaring sound in my ears. I snapped my head u

  • The CEO’s Contract Mommy   The Viper's Entrance

    The heavy glass doors of the Sterling Enterprises atrium slid shut behind us, cutting off the deafening roar of shouting reporters and the blinding storm of camera flashes.Inside the marble sanctuary of the lobby, the air was cool, quiet, and thick with tension.My lips were still burning from Alexander’s kiss. My heart thundered against my ribs like a trapped bird, every nerve ending in my body firing off warning signals. It had been meant for the cameras—a cold, calculated stunt to silence the media and rewrite the narrative. But the sheer, possessive intensity of his touch, the way his long fingers had cradled the back of my neck, and the raw heat that had surged between us was dangerously, terrifyingly real.I forced myself to smooth down the front of my cream-colored silk dress, stepping an inch back from his broad frame. "That was... quite the show, Mr. Sterling."Alexander adjusted his dark blue silk tie, his posture shifting seamlessly back into that of an untouchable billion

  • The CEO’s Contract Mommy   The Morning After

    The soft, warm glow of morning light filtered through the reinforced bulletproof glass of the underground suite, casting long golden beams across the stainless-steel and velvet interior.I blinked against the sudden brightness, my body aching with a deep, heavy exhaustion. For a split second, I forgot where I was. I reached out, my hand brushing against cold silk sheets, and the events of the past twenty-four hours rushed back into my mind with violent clarity.The framed debt. The baby matchmakers. The elevator attack. The broken balcony glass. The blood-pact marriage contract.My breath hitched. I sat up abruptly on the plush leather sofa, clutching the white cashmere blanket to my chest.Directly across the room stood Alexander.He had already bathed and changed into a fresh, immaculately tailored dark charcoal three-piece suit. His crisp white shirt was buttoned to the collar, secured with a silk midnight-blue tie. He was standing in front of a bank of glowing security monitors, a

  • The CEO’s Contract Mommy   Shattered Glass

    The sound of shattering glass tore through the heavy silence of the master suite like a gunshot.Before my brain could even process the danger, Alexander’s hand clamped hard around my arm, yanking me violently out of the path of the windows. In a single fluid motion, he shoved me down behind the heavy mahogany dresser, his body instantly arching over mine to form a protective human shield."Stay down," he hissed, his voice dropping into a lethal, low register.The room was pitch black except for the dying, glowing embers of the fireplace. My heart hammered wildly against my ribs, each beat echoing in my ears like thunder. I could feel the hard, solid muscles of Alexander’s chest pressed against mine, his breathing controlled and razor-sharp as he reached beneath his tailored vest to grip his firearm.Clack.The metallic sound of a safety click echoed sharply in the quiet room.Heavy, silent footsteps padded across the hardwood floor near the balcony doors. Someone was inside the room.
