The CEO's Fake Girlfriend 10.
"That was an opportunity to change your life! You'd rather be the girlfriend of a man that eats other CEOs for breakfast?" If only she knew what I had to do that night. How I'd scrubbed my hands raw afterward."Fuck you, Mom." I typed back with barely contained rage. I should have blocked her back then, but stupidly, I didn't. I shoved the phone in my pocket. The barista called my name. I grabbed Lucien's coffee and dashed out. I slammed the car door, hands trembling on the steering wheel. Selling her own daughter is an opportunity? I scoffed. At HQ, the executive suite was empty. My opportunity to plant the recorder. I set the coffee on his desk and glanced at the door. I crouched under the massive desk, about to stick the recorder when the door opened. "What do you think you're doing?" I banged my head against the desk as I scrambled up. Rafael Cortez stood there, jaw tight."Waiting for Lucien," I said quickly. "His coffee’s getting cold." "Under his desk?" Rafael

I dropped to the ground and curled into myself, waiting for the pain, the blood, anything that told me I'd been shot, but there was nothing except my own heartbeat hammering in my ears. I stood shakily, hearing ragged breaths, and saw a chained woman with a shaved head, bra top, torn jeans, and bleeding cuts, a bullet wound in her shoulder. The bullet hadn't been for me. I turned back to Ronan, my mouth dry. "What... is this?" He was sitting now, Miss Grey standing beside him and holding a gun. His eyes didn't move in my direction. "Come here." I hesitated, looking back at the woman. "Now, Camila. Kneel." I moved to him and lowered myself beside his chair. Ronan made a gesture, and two men stepped forward with metal pipes in their hands. They approached the chained woman and without warning, began striking her legs, her stomach. I squeezed my eyes shut, but Ronan's fingers suddenly dug into the back of my neck, forcing my head up. "Eyes open," he hissed. "Watc

A baby? With him? The mere thought made my stomach clench. "We need to talk privately." Lucien's lips quirked into a cold smirk. "The lady wants privacy, gentlemen. Give us the room." As the last one closed the door, I turned to Lucien again. "Are you out of your mind? That wasn't part of any arrangement we discussed!" He leaned against the couch, arms crossed over his broad chest, his golden eyes holding mine with that insufferable smugness that made me want to slap him. "It's not in the immediate plans, Miss Sterling. But the public loves a power couple with a growing family. If our arrangement continues long-term, it's a natural progression." "There is nothing natural about this entire situation!" I paced the room, trying to keep my breathing steady. "I agreed to be your fake girlfriend for your reputation, not the mother of your child." "The operative word being 'fake,'" his eyes followed me as I moved. "The pregnancy would be announced, not actually carried out. U

By 5:30, I was still pacing our apartment, hair thrown into a bun after running frustrated hands through it too many times. My phone remained silent, its blank screen mocking my earlier confidence. "He's not coming," I finally admitted aloud. Maya looked up from her textbook. "Maybe the driver is just running late?" "Six hours late?" I laughed bitterly. "No. He... dumped me." "You could just go to the Hayes building," Edmund suggested from our tiny kitchen where he was making tea. "Show up at his office." "And what? Beg for his attention?" I shook my head. "After I ran my mouth like that? No way." The thought of walking into Hayes Corp, past security, past all those judging eyes, just to end up groveling at Lucien's feet made my stomach turn. I'd rather starve. By 6 pm, even my stubbornness had to face reality. Maya returned from the nearby coffee shop, handing me leftover pastries and sympathy. "Nothing?" she asked, though my face told her everything. "Nothing." I s

Camila's POV "Name your price." I smirked, leaning back into the leather seat like I owned it. Like I owned him. The thrill of those three words shot through me even as my stomach twisted with anxiety. This was exactly what I needed, but one wrong move and I'd blow it all. "Wow, straight to business," I said, tapping my fingers against my knee to hide their trembling. "No foreplay with the great Lucien Hayes?" His jaw tightened. "Don't waste my time, Sterling." I tilted my head, studying him. How far could I push before he snapped? Before he realized I was more trouble than I was worth? I needed to be valuable enough to keep around but not so greedy he'd toss me aside. "What exactly am I worth to you?" I asked, filling my voice with saccharine sweetness. "Half of Hayes Corp? A helicopter? A penthouse in Paris?" Not even a flicker of amusement crossed his face. "Either get serious, or get out." "Who said I was joking?" I leaned forward, invading his space just enough to

Lucien's POV "What was that supposed to mean?" I remained composed, my expression the exact look Rafael alongside my PR team had drilled into me for tonight; Part possessive alpha male, part lovesick fool who couldn’t live without his woman. A man reclaiming what was his after being publicly dumped. If only she would stop looking at me like she wanted to stab me with the nearest champagne flute. "What don’t you understand, Ms. Sterling?" I talked lowly, aware of the curious glances circling us. "Why the hell you kissed me, for starters." She spat the words, not attempting to hide her disdain. I grabbed her hand before she could pull away, bringing it slowly to my face. Her fingers were stiff, but I pressed them against my cheek anyway, planting a kiss on her palm. Her skin smelled faintly of vanilla. "Is it a crime to kiss my girlfriend in public?" I asked, loud enough for nearby eavesdroppers to hear. Her green eyes glinted fiercely, and her fingers twitched agains
