Chapter 1

Yeah, my boyfriend is here to pick me up. Oh, look at him,” Valerie Sterling said, her voice smooth, icy, and quiet enough to freeze the room. Without giving the stunned onlookers a fraction of a second to process her words, she turned on her heel, stepped directly into the path of a tall, impossibly sharp-featured man strolling casually past the VIP corridor, and pulled him down by his suit lapels into a deep, deliberate kiss. The man froze for a microsecond. His body went rigid under her touch, but he didn't pull away. Up close, a crisp scent of cedarwood, amber, and rain enveloped her—an aroma so faintly familiar it made her heart skip a beat, though her adrenaline flooded any lingering memory. His hand instinctively rose, catching the curve of her waist with firm authority to steady her against his chest. When Valerie finally broke the kiss, gasping softly for air, her lips flushed pink, she turned back to her tormentors with an idle smirk. The sneers on the faces of h

Chapter 2

Despite the utter chaos and confusion of the moment, Christopher Hugh Blackwood did not expose Valerie’s lie. Instead, his hand remained firmly anchored on the curve of her waist, pulling her closer against his side. “Babe, are you done here?” Christopher’s low, rich voice carried across the silent room, smooth as silk. “I told you I was going to wait outside in the car for you.” Valerie’s mind was spinning at a hundred miles an hour. She had no idea why this striking stranger was playing along with her absurd claim, but the sight of Trevor and Cassie gaping in paralyzed terror was far too satisfying to pass up. “Yeah, I’m done,” Valerie said, forcing a soft, brilliant smile as she wrapped her arm through his. “Let’s go, darling.” Together, they walked past the stunned crowd of alumni, leaving her former classmates whispering in utter shock.As soon as they stepped out of the hotel’s grand entrance, a sleek, custom Maybach pulled up to the curb. The chauffeur immediately

Chapter 3

Valerie followed Christopher out of the private elevator and onto the top executive floor, stepping onto thick, plush carpets that absorbed every sound. Looking around at the massive glass walls and private art galleries, she assumed he was perhaps a senior department director or a high-level executive assistant given his personal relationship with Trevor and his obvious familiarity with the floor. “That’s good,” Valerie said smoothly, turning around with a subtle, confident smirk as they reached the wide, sunlit corridor. “Given how stupid and naive Trevor was acting yesterday, I didn't expect much from his acquaintances. But you seem surprisingly capable.” Christopher tilted his head slightly, his dark gray eyes fixing on her with mild, entertained curiosity. “Oh really? Tell me, what were you expecting then?” “Nothing much,” Valerie replied casually, adjusting her leather handbag over her shoulder. “I’m going back to work now. Bye.” Christopher stood in place, quietly

Chapter 4

All afternoon, Christopher couldn't concentrate on a single financial report resting on his mahogany desk. The word ‘Baby’ replayed in his mind like a persistent, suffocating knot. He tried reviewing quarterly earnings, reading risk assessment sheets, and signing off on multi-million-dollar land acquisitions, but every time he closed his eyes, he saw Valerie’s radiant, tender smile as she answered that call. She had never smiled at him like that. His executive assistant, Luke, stood beside the desk, sweating profusely as he watched his boss blindly sign three crucial financial documents in the wrong execution boxes. The air in the top-floor executive suite felt so thick and freezing that Luke barely dared to breathe. By six in the evening, unable to take the agonizing uncertainty a second longer, Christopher slammed his Montblanc pen onto the polished surface with a loud, echoey thud. “Investigate who she was talking to,” Christopher commanded, his voice dropping into a cold

Chapter 5

Christopher Hugh Blackwood sat in the leather interior of his Maybach, his long fingers drumming a erratic, restless rhythm against the armrest. His tailored suit jacket felt suffocatingly tight across his shoulders, every breath heavy with a sharp, knotting tension he hadn't experienced in over a decade.“Driver, move faster,” Christopher growled, his voice laced with an edge of quiet panic that made Luke, sitting in the front passenger seat, flinch.“Sir, we’re already going twenty miles over the speed limit—” Luke began nervously.“I don't care,” Christopher interrupted, his gray eyes dark as storm clouds as he stared out at the passing streetlights.His mind was a chaotic firestorm. Ever since Luke had delivered the dossier on the Sterling family’s financial ruin, Christopher’s cool, calculating composure had completely disintegrated. The thought of Valerie—proud, brilliant, fierce Valerie—being backed into a corner by predatory banks was bad enough. But the realization that
