PREGNANT

“Oh God!”Cassandra's hands trembled as she gaped at the double lines staring back at her from the display of the PT strip she was clutching. Her breathing hitched as flashes of that night—the blurred lights of the bar, the scent of expensive cologne, and the weight of a man she didn't even know—played on a loop in her mind.“No, no, no...” She shook her head, her vision blurring as she staggered toward the small sofa in the center of her studio apartment.The space was cozy. Pothos vines trailed down from the top of the refrigerator, and a collection of succulents crowded the windowsill, soaking up the afternoon sun. The sofa was a soft, sage green, covered in floral throw pillows that usually brought her peace. Now, not so much... Between her small bed tucked into the far corner and the cramped kitchen ahead, the apartment suddenly felt like it was closing in on her.The heavy thud of the main door swinging open made Cassandra jump. A redhead dashed in, her chest heaving as if she’d

ETHAN GRAY

Soft gasps. Shallow pants. Heavy, ragged breaths.It took a moment for Cassandra’s vision to stop spinning when she finally came to. Her eyelids felt like lead, but as they fluttered open, the sheer scale of her unfamiliar surroundings forced her wide awake.A sharp gasp escaped her lips. She was in a living room that looked less like a home and more like a fever dream carved from a fairytale book.She was sprawled on a plush, ivory sofa in a space so vast it made her head swim. To her left, floor-to-ceiling glass walls replaced standard masonry, providing a breathtaking, panoramic view of the California night sky. Outside, the moon cast silver and golden hues over a rolling stretch of perfectly manicured greenery and exotic flowers—a botanical garden that put her windowsill succulents to shame.Inside, the architecture was all sharp lines and expensive textures: marble floors that shone like mirrors, a minimalist fireplace taller than she was, and a spiraling glass staircase that see

HIS DEAL

“What? Marry you? Are you insane?” Cassandra wasn't sure if she was more stunned or insulted.Ethan rolled his eyes, the gesture so casual it was infuriating. “Quit being dramatic. It was cute for the first five minutes; now it’s just exhausting. We both know you’d kill for a deal like this.”Cassandra scoffed, her shock hardening into a glare. “You don’t know a single thing about me.”He ignored her, pacing the marble floor like a king surveying a new territory. “It’s a simple contract. Temporary. One year tops, and then we go our separate ways. I get my heir and the keys to the Gray Group; you get the bag and a permanent seat at the table of the elite. We’re talking a billion dollars every month for the entire year we are married, and then a handsome ten billion dollars additional parting gift on the last month.”Cassandra's head was spinning now. Billion dollars? With a ‘B’? The numbers were so large they felt abstract, like play money. But this wasn't a game. If he really was the

SEALED WITH A SNEER

From the floor-to-ceiling windows of his study, Ethan Gray watched the monitor of his security feed with a fascination he couldn't quite suppress. Outside the towering iron gates, the petite brunette was pacing about like a caged animal. Oh, she was so adorable.She was, objectively, a masterpiece of contradictions. Even through the grain of the camera, her beauty was undeniable—thick, chocolate-brown hair that tumbled over her shoulders in messy waves, and a frame so slight it seemed like a strong breeze might carry her away. But it was her eyes—those soft wide, expressive chocolate-brown eyes—that seemed to intrigue him the most.“It’s not an act! Listen to me, Ethan Gray. I was on my way to a clinic to get rid of the baby when your thugs grabbed me.”She was such a spitfire. Fearless. It was fascinating. But then, earlier, when she had screamed these words at him, she hadn't looked like she was lying. There had been this raw, jagged sincerity in her voice… But then his cynicism kic

THE PAWN

Flash. Flash. Flash.The moment the black SUV pulled up the red carpet of the Vanguard Estate, the night exploded.Ethan led Cassandra out of the vehicle and they started towards the entrance. The paparazzi were all over the place. “Ethan! Who is she?”Cassandra squinted against the stretch of camera lights on her face, a wave of nausea suddenly hitting her.“Since you are with a new woman today, Ethan Gray, does this mean things are really over between you and Tiffany?”“Mr. Gray, a comment on the merger with Queens Group… Will that be dissolved now you ended things with Queens Heiress?”Queens Heiress? Tiffany? Ethan had ended things recently with Queens Heiress, Tiffany? Clearly, the paparazzi didn't seem too happy about it… Cassandra felt her head spin even more as Ethan slid a protective arm around the small of her back, pulling her flush against his side.The heat of his palm through the thin silk of her emerald custom piece dress sent a jolt of electricity straight up her sp
