"You’re fighting a losing battle,” he says, his voice dangerously low. “I suggest you save yourself the pain and step aside.” I can’t believe my ears. Anger rises up my throat. “You don’t scare me, Mr. D’Amato," I snap. “Erik belongs with me, and I’ll fight for him no matter what it takes.” ***** A grieving aunt. A powerful billionaire. And a baby caught in the middle. When Pamela loses her little sister, she vows to raise her nephew, Erik, all by herself. But Massimo D’Amato has other plans. His proposal is simple: A two-year marriage contract or she'd never see Erik again. As they both fight for Erik’s future, feelings they never expected begin to grow. But love was never part of the deal nor were the secrets that could tear them apart.

Chapter 1

(Pamela)..I HAVE BEEN crying for the past two hours.Maybe even longer because I lost count. The tears keep pouring uncontrollably, and I keep digging into my handbag to pull out more tissue wipes. The same bag that my little sister, Anna, had gifted me on my last birthday. The memory brings a fresh round of tears to my eyes.I still can’t believe that I won’t see Anna ever again. It’s as if I’m in a nightmare that just doesn’t want to end. I desperately want to wake up, to hold my little sister again, to stroke her long, black hair and tell her that everything is going to be OK. But everything is not going to be OK. Because Anna is dead now.She died three hours ago, while pushing out her baby. I thought she was going to make it. She had a very determined look on her face that I have never seen before. I had even held her hand throughout the delivery process, whispering words of encouragement in her ears.“You can do this Anna,” I whispered. “Just one last push.”“Yes, Anna,” the...

Chapter 2
(Pamela)..MY MOUTH FALL open at what I’d just heard.I can’t believe my ears. Did he just say full custody? Or had I heard wrong?“Excuse me?” I ask, just to be sure.A mask passes over his face and he watches me closely, as if he’s trying to figure out my reaction. He’s still standing over me, his tall frame casting shadows over me against the bright overhead lights. “Excuse me?!” I repeat, my voice sharper now.His gaze narrows slightly, but I don’t care. The audacity of his words hangs in the air, suffocating me.“You think you can just waltz in here, claim ‘full custody,’ and walk out with my sister’s baby like he’s some kind of prize?” My voice trembles, but I press on.I rise to my feet, ignoring how small I feel compared to his towering figure. “Where were you when my sister was struggling? When she needed support? And now that she’s gone, you—” My voice cracks, but I force myself to continue, “you think you can make decisions about her child without even considering me? Wi

Chapter 3
(Pamela)..I’M SEATED at my kitchen table, a bowl of mushroom soup in front of me. But I’m not looking at my plate, rather at the thick stack of legal documents right next to the bowl. My hands tremble as I read the name at the top: Massimo D’Amato.I can barely breathe.“You’re joking, right?” I ask no-one in particular. I’m still finding it hard to believe that that man had actually kept to his words.His last statement echoes through my head and I shiver slightly: See you in court.Erik lets out a soft whimper from his crib, right next to the couch, where I can keep a close eye on him from the kitchen. It’s as if he can sense my distress at everything that’s been happening.Clara, another one of my childhood friends, leans against the counter. She doesn't look too happy either. “I wish I were. They’re coming after Erik, Pam. They’re going to fight tooth and nail.”I get up from the table and begin to pace around the tiny space of my apartment. My head is already aching from think

Chapter 4
(Massimo)..I ANGRILY TOSS the tabloid and it clatters with a loud sound onto my desk. I can’t believe it but the headline is still there for the past two hours:Heartless Billionaire Steals Baby from Grieving Aunt.What. the. Hell ?“This is a PR nightmare,” my publicist, Veronica, says as she paces the office. “We need damage control and we need it now.”I slowly rub my temples in an attempt to stop the migraine from coming in full force. It all feels like some sort of prank. What idiot would publish such a ridiculous article against me?For years, I have managed to keep my family affairs out of the news. But I’ve been so preoccupied with the court case to have paid attention and this one had slipped right under my nose.“What do you suggest?”Veronica stops in front of my desk, a frown on her face. That means the gears in her head are already working.“A story,” she says at last. “Something that shows you’re not the villain they think you are.”I glance back at the tabloid. The a

Chapter 5
(Pamela)..THE WEIGHT OF the contract in my hands is a constant reminder that this is a very big mistake. I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't even be entertaining this ridiculous offer.But I find myself still skimming through the terms of the contract. It's a whooping 12 pages and each page ends up being worse than the last one.Massimo is seated across from me. He doesn't say anything but his eyes speak volumes. I can’t bear to look at him so I focus on the document that I'm holding.“Let me get this straight,” I begin, my voice shaky. “You want me to give up two years of my life, parade around as your wife, and pretend to be part of some picture-perfect family ... all to make you look good in the eyes of the media?”“It's not just about me,” Massimo responds in a calculated tone. “Like I said earlier, it's also about Erik. He needs a home. Stability. Safety. You can’t give him that alone.”My chest tightens as his words strike a nerve. “You don't know what I can or can't give him.”

Chapter 6
(Pamela)..THE RAIN STARTS right as they lower my sister into the ground.It's a light drizzle that quickly turns into a downpour. Everyone takes shade under an umbrella, but I don’t even feel the rain pouring down harshly at us.My entire focus is on Anna's dark mahogany casket that keeps getting lowered away. Soon, my sister is completely gone from our view and now six feet under. Never to be seen or heard from ever again.My fingers clutch the baby-red roses so tightly that the stems dig into my palms. But I don’t feel the pain. I don't even feel my own fingers. I should step forward. I should place the flowers down and whisper a final goodbye. But my body refuses to move because I'm still finding it so hard to believe.She’s gone.She’s really gone. My one and only sister.I'd sacrificed my entire life to raise her, to make sure she didn't have the kind of childhood that I had. I had done multiple jobs at the same time, just to be able to provide her with the best things, an

Chapter 7
(Pamela)..Massimo moves before I hit the ground.It all happens so fast like a scene out of a horror movie. One minute, I'm swaying out of control, and the next minute, his hands are gripping mine in an attempt to stop my fall.His touch is warm and solid, and a gentle comfort from the biting cold. My head tells me to pull away because he's the enemy here. But I don’t. Instead, I allow myself to relax for a bit and everything else comes to a standstill.The tears that have been building up since the funeral finally lets out and I begin to wail into his chest. I'm completely consumed by my grief to even notice that I'm tearing up in Massimo’s arms, of all people.For a long moment, we stand there as I cry uncontrollably with the rain pounding against us. My body trembles, and I hate myself for showing weakness in front of him. But it feels good to let all the pain out.Massimo’s as stiff as a statue for the first few seconds and then he exhales. His voice is quieter when he spe

Chapter 8
(Pamela)..THE CAB PULLS to a stop right in front of Massimo’s company and I jump out, more determined than ever to give him a piece of my mind.Leo, Massimo’s right-hand man, jumps to the rescue before I can even shove through the doors of Massimo’s office.“Ms. Brown.” His voice is firm, but I can see the faintest hint of amusement in his deep-set eyes. “Mr. D’Amato is in a meeting.”He thinks this is funny? Fine, I'll show him what's funny.“I don’t care if he’s meeting the damn Pope!” I fire back as I struggle against his grip. “Move.”Leo doesn't budge. It's as if I weigh nothing, which technically could be true because that man had muscles the size of a horse.“Not a good idea,” he says.Oh, I know this isn't a good idea at all. Which is precisely why I'm doing it. Massimo leaked those fake rumours about us without even telling me first. Like my opinion wasn't important or needed, like I was just a spawn in his games. As if that wan't enough, he dragged Erik into this and pu

Chapter 9
Massimo ..PAMELA BROWN HAS a habit of storming into my life like she has control over it.First was at the funeral. Now, my office. Always demanding explanations. Always wanting to know why I did what I did, or even better what my brother was up to.I let her scream at me, let her slam her phone on my desk in front of my two business partners. I even let her throw her little accusations my way. And not because I have suddenly turned a new leaf. My nephew is very much the reason we've come this far and I'm willing to compromise a little to keep things that way.And now, as she stands before me, arms crossed, blue eyes burning with fury, I can’t help but find this entire thing amusing.She actually believes she has the right to be upset.“I'm not implying anything, but let's go over what has happened lately, shall we?” I respond in a carefully controlled tone, while catching the scent of her floral perfume.To be honest, I wouldn’t have brought this up if she hadn't barged into my of

Chapter 10
Pamela..I CAN’T BELIEVE IT.I just slapped Massimo D’Amato across the cheek. Of all the things that could possibly go wrong today, this isn't one that I'd seen coming. But he'd gone too far. He not only insulted my sister and I, but he also accused us of doing things we never ever did. What happened with Anna and the pregnancy was just an accident. But twisting the entire thing like we'd planned it was totally unacceptable to me.I take step back when I realize what has just happened. The room is awfully silent. I wonder what Massimo will do next. Hit me back? Call Leo to throw me away? Call off the contact and take Erik away from me permanently? God, the thought of that alone scares me. How could I have let my anger take the best of me? I'm not normally this triggered to the point of hitting someone. That's just how unbearable this man is.Massimo slowly turns back to face me and I can see his tongue dragging across his bottom lip. Then, I realized with horror that I hit him
