AUTHORS POV

When they reached the parking lot, Pablo walked ahead slightly and opened the passenger door of his car. He gestured politely for her to step in.

Regina paused in her tracks for a moment, frowned, then walked to the door, shut it violently, and opened it herself.

“See, I have hands, and they are working; I can open my own doors,” she rapidly said, sliding into the black leather seat.

Why did he open the door for her like that?

Who did he think he was, and what was he trying to prove?

For what it’s worth, she could open her own doors. She had been doing it for years now—since the day her ex-boyfriend, Cedro Cortez, left her standing there in that church like a fool all those years ago. Since the day she realised that sweet gestures didn’t mean love. They meant nothing if the man behind them was a coward like Franco.

It should’ve been Franco opening that door. And the idea of meeting him secretly began to irritate her. The one who should’ve held her hand in front of Da

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   The Power Shift

    AUTHORS POVIf there was any space Tessa felt so powerful for the first time in a long time, it was at genmark.The boardroom at Genmark International gleamed in cool, modern tones—glass walls, neatly tiled floors, and a long gigantic table that reflected the morning light like water. Tessa stood at the far end of the room, dressed in a crisp navy suit. Her hair was pulled back in a sleek waist length ponytail, her makeup subtle but sharp. She rocked her pepper red lipstick because it made her stand out and complete the fears lethal look she was going for that morning. She looked every inch the woman who had returned with purpose.On the table before her sat a leather folder, embossed with the Ramon Enterprises seal. Inside it were hardwork of many sleepless nights and months of preparation—contracts, projections, strategy notes, and a pitch so refined it had already caught the eye of three international partners. But this deal with Genmark was the real prize.Opposite her sat Mr. Em

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   You can be both

    AUTHORS POVTessa looked at her, her expression unreadable. And it was normal for clarissa’s face to be unreadable whenever she was saying something she deemed very honest or whenever she was simply goofing.Clarissa gave her hand a little squeeze. “You can be both. You deserve to be both.”Tessa gave a faint smile but didn’t respond. Clarissa sipped her tea again, then leaned back, eyes twinkling.“Well, if you’re curious about my love life, I suppose I should indulge you.”Tessa chuckled. “Go on, then.”Clarissa lit up. “I have got a new man and his name’s Mateo. We met at a wine-tasting event, of all places. I was there to support a friend’s business launch, and he was just passing through from a corporate retreat. We ended up paired for a tasting game, and he made this awful joke about Merlot being the wine equivalent of a sleepy Labrador.”Tessa laughed. “That’s terrible.”“I know,” Clarissa giggled. “But I couldn’t stop laughing. And the more we talked, the more I realised—he li

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   Being a Woman

    AUTHORS POV It was Clarissa, in her night robe, holding two mugs of piping tea. The tea was piping hot that Tessa could see the steam brewing from where she was seated and honestly, she appreciated the gesture. The tea would help relax her nerves as she scanned through the paper work and everything for the meeting. She had been impressed with how Clarissa had handled everything down to the minutest detail, nothing was aloof upon her cross checkings. Nothing was aloof or amiss, and it made her more grateful that she sorted for Clarissa’s help. “I figured you were still awake,” she said. Tessa smiled and waved her in. “Can’t sleep.” “I get it.” Clarissa handed her a mug and sat on the edge of the desk. “You’re really going through with it.” Tessa nodded slowly. “Tomorrow begins the unraveling.” Clarissa looked at her seriously. “Just promise me one thing.” “Anything.” “Don’t let your anger blind you. Be calculated, not emotional.” Tessa looked into her tea. “You sound like m

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   Like Siblings

    AUTHORS POVClarissa took a long sip of wine, eyes drifting to where Dean and Sofia chased each other in the garden. The late afternoon sun dipped behind the trees, casting a golden lights over everything.“They look like siblings,” she said quietly.“They might as well be,” Tessa replied, her voice distant. “They’ve only known each other over video calls, yet they act like they’ve grown up together.”“They’ll need each other in the coming days,” Clarissa added.Tessa placed her glass down on the table. “Tomorrow changes everything.”Clarissa nodded. “I’ve kept your name completely out of the paperwork. You’re listed as Clara Moretti—an investor based in Geneva.”“Smart.” Tessa’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Let him be blindsided. Let him beg before he realises it’s me behind the fall.”Clarissa reached across the table. “You don’t have to do this alone. Let me take part of the meeting if it gets overwhelming.”Tessa gave her a grateful look. “I’m glad you stayed, Clarissa. I can’t imagin

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE    Scared & Valid

    AUTHORS POVTessa nodded, though the tension in her jaw betrayed her. “I just… It’s strange being back.”It was really strange, the last time she was in Monterrey was some years back, about 3 yrs ago, before traveling back to Canada.At some point she had even considered a permanent relocation to Canada but tried to prevent herself as she had a promise to keep.So yes, returning to Monterrey after the painful memory this place had caused her was like she embraced a bad idea.Clarissa’s voice softened. “You’ll find your footing again. This time, you’re not alone.”She hoped she was not alone.Even though she trusted clarissa to handle things perfectly in her absence, there was an uncanny desire to balance out anything.The business world was rugged and she needed to be tough, so if having clarissa by her side would help ease the pressure, why not?She needed all the help she could get to pull through because Dean was now in the picture and she was almost done trying to cook up lies.T

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   Where’s My Daddy

    AUTHORS POV Tessa was definitely jet lagged from jumping from one business meeting to another but she could not help but enjoy the small joys of watch Dean get so excited about their return.She stood in front of the airplane window, her hand gently resting on the back of Dean’s neck as the plane began its descent into Monterrey. The city below looked unchanged from above, yet she knew everything had changed—for her, for Clarissa, and for what was to come.She honestly did not know what to think about her return. It sounded like a bad idea but she must do it.Dean leaned closer to the window, his tiny breath fogging the glass. “Mummy, are we going to see my daddy now?”Tessa’s heart clenched at the question. She hadn’t expected it—not today, not now. The timing was uncanny. “Why do you ask that, sweetheart?”Dean shrugged, still gazing out the window. “I dunno. I had a dream last night. A man said he was my daddy. He looked like me.”Tessa blinked. Her stomach knotted. Was this chil
