POV: LAUREN

I opened and closed my mouth a few times, but no words came out. My brain was trying to process what I had just heard. My eyes were wide, locked on him—confused and intrigued.

“What?” I murmured, barely audible.

Henry let out a soft, amused sigh.

“Mrs. Becker, breathe first,” he teased, stepping back slightly to face me directly. “You heard me perfectly. Don't make me repeat myself.”

“Are you insane?” I burst out, shaking my head in disbelief. I brushed past him abruptly, pushing his arms aside to make way. “What kind of boss asks his nephew’s nanny to marry him?”

“The kind who wants to avoid an even bigger scandal,” Henry replied calmly, walking over to the desk and picking up a few newspapers.

I frowned, crossing my arms.

“What exactly does that mean?&rdquo

    POV: LAUREN“Oh, really?” Carter raised an eyebrow, clearly holding back a laugh. “And how do you plan to pay her salary every month? With what money?”“You can give her my allowance!” Theo shot back without hesitation.My heart tightened at his gesture. I placed a hand over my chest, touched, and smiled at such kindness.“Theo, my little one, you don’t have to do that.” I kneeled to his level and hugged him tightly. “But thank you for wanting me to stay.”“Fairy, if you leave, I’m leaving too!” Theo stated seriously, catching us by surprise.“Hey, kiddo, that’s not necessary. I’m not firing your nanny.” Henry intervened, rubbing the back of his neck, visibly uncomfortable.“You’re not?” Theo’s eyes widened as he looked fr

    POV: HENRYThe afternoon heat made the office an unbearable place. The air conditioner hummed softly, but it didn’t seem enough to drive away the uncomfortable feeling lingering around me.My eyes were locked on the pile of contracts on the desk, but my focus was elsewhere. Theo’s childish laughter filled the room—light and carefree, a stark contrast to my mind drowning in numbers and deadlines.I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose.“What the hell is going on out there?” I muttered to myself.Setting the pen aside, I lifted my gaze to the panoramic window. Down in the backyard, Theodor was running around the pool, holding a water gun, and shooting jets of water at Lauren, who was trying to dodge them.“You’ll never hit me, kiddo!” she teased, laughing.Theo laughed even louder, determined to prove her wrong. But my

    POV: LAURENI felt Henry Carter’s gaze fixed on me as I stepped out of the pool with Theo in my arms. The cold breeze sent shivers down my skin, but that wasn’t the only reason. My body was wet, the swimsuit clung too much, and the awareness of being exposed under that intense gaze unsettled me.I took a deep breath, trying to ignore the strange sensation.“Don't start with this, Lauren,” I scolded myself mentally, focusing on what really mattered—getting Theo inside before he caught a cold.The little one trembled slightly but was still smiling, completely oblivious to the way Henry affected me.After Theo’s bath and another playful session with towels and bubbles, the rest of the afternoon passed without any sign of Carter. He seemed to have vanished, and I should have felt relieved. But for some reason, his absence only made the memory of his gaze even more present.To distract my mind, I decided to teach Theo a cookie recipe. He loved the idea. We made a huge mess in the kitchen,

    POV: LAURENMy heart clenched, and I knew that nothing I said now would make this pain completely disappear.“Theo, that’s not what I meant,” I tried to explain, but he was already pulling away.His hurried steps betrayed the weight of what he had just heard.“It’s okay, Fairy,” his voice came out thick with emotion, his shoulders hunched. “My parents didn’t want me either… neither did Uncle Henry.”A sharp ache tightened in my chest.“Hey, kid!” Henry called, his voice firm, but Theo had already bolted down the hallway, slamming his bedroom door shut.A heavy silence filled the room.Henry ran a hand over his face, his jaw clenched tight. Then, without warning, he turned and punched the kitchen counter, the wood vibrating from the impact.“Damn it!” he growled, his teeth gritted.I bit the inside of my cheek, feeling a lump form in my throat. The atmosphere felt suffocating.Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to stay clear-headed. I ran my hands through my hair, trying to ignore H

    POV: HENRYThe warmth of her lips against mine was real, intense. Her uneven breaths mixed with mine, and all it would take was a single word for me to kiss her the way we both wanted. I kept the touch light, teasing and moistening my lips before brushing the tip of my tongue against hers, testing her reaction.“Mr. Carter…” Lauren murmured, her voice low, filled with something she couldn’t quite hide.Her arms slid around my neck, her fingers grazing the back of my head. She lifted slightly onto her toes, closing the space between us. My gaze locked onto hers, trying to decipher just how far she wanted to take this.“You’re not going to seduce me into accepting the contract,” she whispered against my mouth, a challenge disguised as provocation.Before I could react, Lauren gently pushed me away and turned her back, staring out at the view. I took a d

    POV: LAURENThe following days passed without me seeing Henry as often. He was buried in work, and his presence in the house became almost nonexistent. I used the mornings, while Theodor was at school, to go to my prenatal appointments. To my relief, my baby was developing well and healthy. The nausea had eased, and for the first time in weeks, I felt like I could finally breathe a little better.I visited my mother and Kate, hoping to find some comfort in their presence. But reality hit me hard when I went to the bank to negotiate the debt my father had left behind.“This is absurd!” My voice came out louder than I intended, but I didn’t care. I placed my hands on the desk and stared down at the manager in front of me. “These interest rates are outrageous! How do you expect me to pay the creditors when the bank is robbing me like this?”The man before me wore an expensive suit and a

I was supposed to meet some clients at the new nightclub—Lucian’s idea—who insisted on taking the French investors out for a night of fun before closing our business deal.I was just about to leave the mansion when a car pulled up in front.I stood still, watching as a tall, well-dressed man stepped out and walked over to the passenger side, opening the door with a chivalrous gesture.Then, I saw Lauren Becker step out of the car.My eyes narrowed as he took her hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it.Crossing my arms, I felt my fingers dig into my biceps, unable to understand why that small gesture irritated me so much.When Lauren turned around, her body tensed the moment she saw me standing there—like she had been caught in the act.

In one swift motion, Henry pulled me toward him and pinned me against the wall.His strong hands seized my wrists, holding them above my head, keeping me trapped as his face drew dangerously close. His gaze dropped to my mouth before he captured it between his teeth, biting down on my lower lip and sucking it slowly.A low moan slipped from me.He didn’t wait for anything else.He plunged into a deep, intense, and hungry kiss, exploring my mouth with no rush—but with absolute possession.

    POV: LAURENMy hands worked in sync with my mouth, sliding up and down in the same rhythm as my suckers, while my tongue played with precise movements, stimulating every sensitive spot. His length throbbed against my tongue—hot, rigid, utterly delicious.Henry threw his head back, his breathing ragged. The pace quickened, and with my other hand, I cupped his balls, massaging them gently, feeling his body tremble under my touch.“Fuck, Lauren…” he growled, his voice thick with raw pleasure. “If you keep this up, I won’t last, and I want to feel you around me.”In one swift, determined motion, Henry yanked me up, his lips crashing against mine with desperate hunger.

    POV: LAURENA gasp escaped me. My entire body throbbed, my breathing became uneven, and the heat between my legs was unbearable.Henry knew exactly what he was doing to me. And I didn’t want him to stop.“So ready for me, my Becker.” Henry’s voice came out hoarse, thick with desire and possession. His dark gaze devoured me as his fingers slowly slid over the thin fabric of my pants, shifting them just enough to expose my intimacy to his touch.The mere brush of his fingertip against my skin made me gasp, and a shaky moan slipped past my lips. A low, satisfied chuckle rumbled in his chest as he registered my immediate reaction.“Easy, little one,” he murmured, his lips curling into a smirk dripping with mischief. “We’re just getting started. I want to taste every inch of you.”“Henry…” His name spilled

    POV: LAURENThe air between us grew thick, charged with electricity and desire. My heart pounded against my ribs, and my breath turned ragged as the heat of his body fused with mine. The rich, masculine scent of Henry surrounded me, igniting an insatiable longing that made my skin burn.“Henry…” My voice came out in a shaky whisper, caught between hesitation and surrender.His gaze, intense and filled with raw lust, locked onto mine. It was like an inescapable fire, consuming any last shred of resistance I might have had. My body pulsed under his touch, every inch of my skin sensitized by the searing path of his fingers. His strong hands slid along the curve of my waist, pulling me even closer against him, and a delicious shiver ran down my spine.“Stop running from what you want, Lauren.” His voice was low, husky, and intoxicating. His mouth hovered dangerously close to mine, and the promise in his words made me hold my breath. “You want me just as much as I want you. Say yes… and be

    POV: HENRYLauren was visibly better after a few weeks of rest. The test results showed that everything was within normal parameters, which brought us immense relief. Theodor had grown even closer to her, reading to her belly every night, telling stories filled with promises for the future sibling, describing the games and mischief they would share.Since Becker’s bleeding incident, I simply hadn’t allowed her to sleep alone anymore. This change in our routine brought us closer in an intense and unexpected way. Her mind was fascinating—brilliant, full of ideas and suggestions that made our business conversations not only productive but also enjoyable. Without realizing it, she lifted a great weight off my shoulders, and I found myself eager to share every detail with her.“It's official—I think I've found my replacement.” My voice carried a teasing, playful tone, just enough to make her lift her blue eyes from the report and stare at me, surprised.“What did you say?” Her expression s

Henry is going to freak out when he finds out what you did!” I exclaimed, watching another batch of cupcakes come out of the oven while Theo, covered in frosting from head to toe, worked on his masterpiece with chocolate and colorful sprinkles. “He’s already had way too much sugar!”“Oh, Lauren, let the boy be a kid!” My mom huffed, rolling her eyes as she tidied up the counter. “I raised you the same way, spoiled you with love and sugar, and look at you now—a grown, healthy woman. So let me spoil this little angel my way.”Theo looked up at me, his eyes shining with happiness, the tip of his nose smudged with whipped cream.“Grandma is amazing, Fairy!” the little one chimed in.I sighed, already defeated.“See?” My mom smiled triumphantly, winking at me. “I&

    POV: ETHANThat damn billionaire looked at me with an air of superiority, certain that he had already won this battle. His threatening tone left no doubt—he knew about the embezzlement, and those incompetent fools in my finance department had miserably failed to cover up the evidence. I’d have to deal with this mess later.I drummed my fingers against the desk, calculating my options. So this was what it was about? Henry Carter was here to reclaim what his dear wife had lost. Lauren always had a knack for attracting trouble. Even after the divorce, she was still a nuisance. If I had gotten rid of her at the right time—an accident carefully planned—no one would have suspected a thing.The thought amused me for a moment, but I had to regain control. Carter was still in front of me, impatient, waiting for my answer.“So, what will it be?” he asked, his jaw clenched, his eyes locked

He noticed—and continued.“I also heard she’s expecting your heir,” Ethan added.My jaw tightened, and my fingers flexed slightly against the fabric of my suit, but I remained still, staring at him.He paused dramatically, his eyes analyzing every minute reaction, as if searching for a weakness to exploit.“But there’s no need to come here and mark your territory,” he said, a malicious glint in his eyes. “I ha

The life I was building there needed to be protected.I grabbed my phone and sent a message to Lucian. I needed him to meet me at Lauren’s ex-husband’s company with the financial documents detailing the embezzlement. Furthermore, I never understood my brother’s interest in doing business with PharmaCare. There were more solid companies and hospitals we had strategic partnerships with, expanding branches and investing in medical technologies far more profitable than Ethan’s ventures.The car glided smoothly into the parking lot. Checking my watch as I stepped out, I scanned the surroundings. No sign of Lucian.“Always late…” I muttered, massag

You're pregnant, you need rest, and maybe a little motherly love would help you feel better.”My eyes widened, and I immediately turned to Henry, glaring at him as if I could set him on fire with my stare.“You called my mother?” I asked through clenched teeth, feeling my body heat with indignation. “And you told her about the pregnancy?!”He remained calm, as imposing as ever.“Actually, your mother saw the news about your dramatic entrance to the hospital in the arms of CEO Henry Carter,” Kate interjected, holding my mom's purse and trying to ease the tension. “So, let’s just say she kind of threatened to storm
