Until The Baby Is Born: CEO's Temporary Fiancee The restlessness
HIS APARTMENT The apartment was dark when Asher stepped inside.The soft hum of the city beyond the windows barely reached the quiet here, a quiet that felt wrong. Too still. Too empty.He closed the door behind him, the sound echoing faintly through the halls. The air was cold, sharper than it should’ve been. It used to be warm when she was here. Somehow, her presence always softened things, filling the space with a kind of calm he could never explain.Now, it just felt hollow.He walked toward the bedroom, his heartbeat loud in his ears. The room looked exactly as they had left it, two cups on the bedside table, her book still facedown on the pillow, his shirt thrown over the chair. But the bed… the bed was empty.The blanket was untouched. The pillow is cold.A lump rose in his throat. “Ivy?” His voice came out low, unsure.Silence.He checked the balcony, the kitchen, even the little reading nook where she liked to sit with her tea when she couldn’t sleep. Nothing.His chest tigh

Asher pulled up to the airport, his hands tight on the steering wheel. The arrivals gate buzzed with noise, footsteps, laughter, suitcase wheels rolling across the floor. Then, amid the crowd, he saw her.Riley Green.Her long beige coat brushed her knees, hair swept to one side as she searched the crowd. When her eyes met his, she broke into a relieved smile and rushed forward, dropping her bag to throw her arms around him.“Asher,” she breathed out, hugging him tightly. “You came.”He hesitated before returning the hug, his arms wrapping around her loosely. “Of course I did, I promised,” he murmured. “You sounded… upset.”She pulled back slightly, wiping the corner of her eye and giving a small, embarrassed laugh. “I know, I overreacted. It was just, everything’s been so overwhelming. I came back from Europe. The business expansion, the meetings, the people... I just needed someone who still feels like home.”Asher gave her a faint smile, though his chest ached for reasons he couldn

IN THE HOSPITAL The doctor closed the file and looked at Asher with a calm but serious expression.“She’s stable for now,” he said, his tone steady but carrying the weight of warning. “But she was clearly under a lot of emotional stress. That’s not good for her or the baby. You understand, Mr Cole?”Asher only nodded, though his chest felt like it was caving in. His throat was tight, words refusing to form.“The pregnancy is already complicated,” the doctor continued, flipping through a few last pages before shutting the chart. “Her body’s exhausted, and the baby reacts to her distress. She needs complete rest and no tension at all. If she stays calm, she’ll recover. With the due date approaching, things will get delicate, so be careful.”“I will,” Asher said quietly. His voice came out strained, rough, almost unfamiliar to his own ears.The doctor gave him a knowing nod before leaving the room, the soft squeak of his shoes echoing down the hall.Then…silence.The faint rhythmic beep
Until The Baby Is Born: CEO's Temporary Fiancee In a mess
Ivy sat at her desk, the glow of the computer screen lighting her tired face. Her eyes burned from staring at it for hours, but she didn’t stop until she hit send. The final file uploaded, the progress bar turned green, and a soft chime confirmed the delivery.It was done.She leaned back in her chair, exhaling a shaky breath. The project was finally complete, the one she had worked on for days with sleepless nights, endless edits, and too many tears she’d wiped away before anyone could see. Her hands trembled slightly as she closed her laptop.Her phone rang.The screen showed Mr. Christopher.Her heart jumped.She hesitated a moment, then answered. “Hello, Mr. Christopher.”“I just got the file,” his deep voice came through, calm but curious. “Tell me something, Miss Marlowe… is this Asher’s project?”Her stomach knotted. She knew this question would come, she just didn’t expect it this soon.She swallowed hard. “As far as I know… yes.”There was silence on the line. Then his tone s

The ride home was painfully silent. The hum of the car engine filled the space between them, the only sound in the air that wasn’t heavy with unspoken emotions. Ivy sat turned toward the window, her arms crossed over her chest, her reflection staring back at her through the dark glass. Asher’s knuckles were white against the steering wheel, his jaw tight, eyes fixed on the road as if it had personally offended him.When they finally stepped into the apartment, the door hadn’t even clicked shut before Ivy turned to face him.“What was all that about?” she demanded, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and confusion.Asher’s expression didn’t change. He shrugged off his coat and set it on the couch, refusing to meet her eyes.“What do you mean?” he said, his tone low but guarded.Ivy frowned, stepping closer. “Don’t play dumb, Asher. You spent a fortune tonight, on me! You outbid every single person there like it was some kind of battle. Why? Why did you become so… possessive?”Ashe

AT THE BALLROOM “…You really outdid yourself with this project, Mr. Cole,” one of the investors said, clapping Asher lightly on the shoulder. “If this goes through, Cole Corporation’s name will dominate international holdings.”Asher gave a faint nod, his tone calm and confident. “That’s the goal. We’re not here to compete, we’re here to lead.”The men around him laughed approvingly, glasses raised. “Spoken like your grandmother,” another said. “No wonder she’s grooming you for the top seat.”Before Asher could respond, a familiar voice sliced through the chatter.“Grooming him?” Jason Cole’s tone dripped with mock amusement. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, gentlemen.”Asher turned slightly, his expression hardening the moment he saw his cousin approach, slick hair, smug grin, and a glass of whiskey dangling lazily from his hand.“Jason,” Asher greeted flatly.“Cousin,” Jason replied smoothly, stepping into the circle. “Still charming the investors, I see. Must be exhausting prete
