One night of whispered promises in silk sheets was all it took to turn Sophia Mitchell's world upside down. Walking away from her own wedding was supposed to be the hardest part of her year—until she discovers the mysterious silver fox who gave her the most passionate night of her life is none other than Marcus Henderson: ruthless billionaire, corporate legend, and her ex-fiancé's father. Now she's carrying his child. Every touch is forbidden, every kiss a betrayal, but their magnetic pull is impossible to resist. As morning sickness threatens to expose their secret and family tensions reach a breaking point, Sophia must choose between her reputation and her heart. Marcus Henderson built his empire with iron control, but one taste of Sophia has him risking everything—his marriage, his company, and his relationship with his son. When scandal threatens to destroy them both, will he choose his family legacy or fight for a love that was never supposed to exist? Some mistakes are worth making twice...especially when they feel this right.

Victoria barely spared her a glance. "Family business. It doesn't concern you.""My sister and my niece concern me," Emma shot back, moving to stand beside me. "The tabloid hit job you just orchestrated? That concerns me too.""A few unflattering articles," Victoria waved dismissively. "Hardly worth
Chapter 23: Victoria's CounterattackI stared at Marcus's phone in horror as James's voice echoed through the hospital room."The trust gives controlling interest to Sophia's baby? How is that even possible?" Marcus demanded, his body tensing beside me."Father amended his will after his stroke," Ja

Chapter 22: Marcus's ChoiceI stared at the ceiling of my hospital room, counting the tiles for the hundredth time while machines beeped a steady rhythm beside me. After the chaos at the board meeting, Dr. Patel had insisted I return to complete bed rest—no exceptions. Three days had passed since I'
