Alex is the grandson of the Sterling family. He's known to be an every woman's man and growing up, he had been trained by his grandmother in line to take over the Sterling Enterprise, the biggest company in the USA. After Alex's negative picture was leaked out, he was forced to get married before his grandmother's retirement to secure the presidential position. Not ready for a real marriage, Alex decided to go on a contracted marriage with his secretary, Emily. Little did Emily know that she would fall in love with the great Alexander, who, on the other hand, is only in love with Sophie, his first love from college. What happens when Emily gets pregnant with Alex after a one-night romance? Will Alex feel the same way as Emily towards him? Will the contract marriage eventually lead to a real marriage?

The wedding came faster than anyone had expected. Every single bomb seemed to drop too quickly, leaving people no time to recover from the last.The first shock—that Mr. Alex had a fiancée—was the cake batter. Now, finding out that his wedding happened way too fast was another shock that baked the cake.And just when the world was still talking, the icing was placed: the bride they were all dying to know turned out to be his little secretary.People couldn't stop talking, of course. Their imaginations ran wild, thinking about all the indecent things that might have happened in the office.Robert was also shocked when he received an invitation stating that the wedding was the next day. Even if he had planned to stop the wedding, the late notice left no room for action—there would have been too many loopholes.He had no choice but to watch the wedding unfold, just like Max, who sat clenching and unclenching his fists after hearing the news.Emily sat in the car, feeling too shy to step

"Missed me?"Alex smiled at Harrison, who had just spoken, and casually rolled his eyes before sitting down. Victor came in after him."I didn't miss you," Alex replied to Harrison, who grinned, looking remarkably like his sister."But I did miss you, Harrison," Victor said before pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and passing it to Harrison."Is this Callisto?""Yes, a one-of-a-kind cigarette.""Wow, I’ve tried to get it but couldn’t." Harrison then turned toward Alex with a look of betrayal. "How come he got me something, and you got me nothing?"The three men—devils in the industry—now looked like three drunkards arguing."That's because I don't give naughty children gifts.""Me? Naughty? That can't be used to describe the innocent little Harrison." Harrison spoke his own name as if referring to himself in the third person.Victor, who was on the side, lit a cigarette and watched the smoke rise beautifully. His eyes looked even more mesmerizing in the haze as he picked up a sm

Alex was quick to snap out of it while Emily rushed out of the car to go into the company so she wouldn’t be seen coming in with the boss. Alex watched as she ran off, and his hand moved toward his phone to make a call."Want to drink tonight?" he asked the person on the other side."How wicked of you to call my sister but not check up on me.""That's why I want to use this as a means of apologizing." Alex got out of the car, shut the door, and walked into the private elevator."No, you just want to use this as a means of getting information. But don’t worry, I’ll be seated right at the club tonight. Bring your pretty secretary along—and Victor.""Won’t that just make it crowded? Two is a gathering, but three is a crowd. Now here you are, selfishly asking for four.""It makes me wonder what information you need this time.""You know, that’s the same thing I said to Robert last night.""Now I wish I could see his face so badly.""Sure. See you later tonight."Alex walked into his offic

How does it feel being the center of attraction at a place where you were trying to minimize the eyes on you?Emily looked down at the broken glass in horror, fearing that she'd be scolded, but instead, Alex motioned for a maid to clean it up and held Emily back from touching the glass pieces."You don't need to do anything. It was a mistake." Alex rubbed her head, which made Emily look down at her lap.She liked this type of man... gentle."What are you thinking about?" Alex’s voice was low, only for her ears, but Max, who was already invested in their conversation even though he pretended not to be, heard clearly."Nothing." Emily raised her little head to smile at Alex, who noticed the tears in her eyes that refused to drop. He raised his thumb to wipe it away.Looking at his secretary so close now, he couldn't help but marvel at her beauty. Previously, he would have compared her to Sophia, but now he didn’t.Emily, seeming to realize what was happening, pulled away to continue wit

As soon as Robert and his family entered, Margaret’s expression changed. She didn’t look so excited to see them and crossed her arms tightly.“Ohh, Robert,” she said flatly. “You’re here.”Robert, who noticed his mother's cold expression, tried to ignore it and smiled at her.“Mother, it’s nice to see you."Margaret stared at him for a bit before looking toward Max's direction.“Max, you look thinner than the last time I saw you. Are you even feeding well?”Robert sighed as if this wasn't the first time he had heard such comments from her.“Mother, Max is fine. He’s just been busy with the company’s work like the rest of us, trying to do many things to keep the company growing. I hope his efforts won’t be in vain.”Margaret frowned a bit. “Busy, yes. At least Alex is also working so hard, and he's not looking very stressed. Let’s hope he doesn’t work himself sick.”The tension in the room became a bit thick. Robert’s wife, Sandra, tried to change the topic and lighten the atmosphere.

“Yes, my grandmother and uncle. I will send someone to you to pick you up tomorrow to get some dress and accessories that would look nice on you while I will pick you up myself on Saturday evening,” Alex said before he continued. “That being said, when you are ready to leave, my driver will drop you.”Emily couldn't believe that she was about to meet the Sterling family one-on-one. She had only seen them from afar. She had heard a lot about Mrs Margaret and how strict and lovely she was at the same time. It had been so obvious to every staff member at Sterling Enterprise that Mrs. Margaret had always favored Alex over Max and she chose him as the heir to the company.Whether she fit Margaret's taste or not wasn't her business but that of Alex and his family, since Alex had chosen her and for her to be compensated well enough, she needed to play her role well and that's her main priority.***Alex drove his shiny black car to Emily's small house. He waited while Emily came out, adjusti

As Emily left Alex’s office, her mind was spinning with thoughts about his shocking proposal. She was so distracted that she didn’t see the person in front of her until she bumped into them.The files in her hands fell to the floor. “Oh no! I’m so sorry!” Emily said quickly, bending down to pick them up. Her heart raced as she looked up and saw Max, one of the company’s directors.Max, tall and dressed in a sharp suit, gave her a kind smile and crouched to help her. “It’s okay. Are you alright?” he asked gently.“Yes, I’m fine. Thank you,” Emily replied, her voice shaky. She stood up and adjusted her skirt, avoiding his gaze.Max looked at her closely for a moment. “Are you an employee here?”“I’m Mr. Sterling’s secretary,” Emily said quietly.Max raised an eyebrow as if thinking about her answer. Before he could say anything else, his secretary walked up and reminded him about a meeting.Max gave Emily a small smile. “I hope we meet again, Miss…?”“Emily. Emily Smith,” she said nervo

Alex arrived at the office the next day and as he settled into his desk, he noticed that Emily, his usually punctual secretary, was nowhere to be found. Minutes turned into half an hour, and still, there was no sign of her.Alex's face had changed as he needed Emily to run some errand but she hadn't come. He had always had zero tolerance for late coming. As he glanced at the time, he knew Emily couldn't overcome the penalty of her action. Finally, Emily rushed into the office, her face flushed with anxiety."Emily, you're late," Alex said sternly."I'm so sorry, Mr. Alex," Emily gasped, her breath coming in short bursts. "I had to rush to the hospital. My father had a health emergency, and my phone battery was low, so I couldn't call to inform you earlier.""Okay? You know my rule. Being late without prior notice is unacceptable." Alex's irritation flared at the excuse."Please, Mr. Alex, I tried my best. It was an emergency, I swear." Tears welled up in Emily's eyes as she pleaded,“

Alex felt as though the ground had dropped out from beneath him. Marriage was not a decision to be taken lightly, especially not for the sake of appeasing corporate stakeholders. But as he looked into his grandmother's relentless gaze, he knew there was no room for negotiation."I understand, Grandmother," Alex replied, his voice matched with submission. "I will do whatever it takes to uphold the reputation of Sterling Enterprises."Margaret nodded, her expression softened slightly. "I knew I could count on you, Alexander. Time is not by your side again. My retirement is fast approaching and you need to prove to the world that you are ready to lead."“I have never wanted Robert nor his son, Max, to inherit the company. Your father is my first child and it is right that you take over since he isn't alive again.” Margaret scoffed."Talking about time, why don't you and your fiance you once told me about coming to see me this weekend? We haven't all been together for too long." Margaret

Chapter 1
The night was cold and quiet. Emily was running fast, holding her pregnant belly. She was scared and breathing hard. The lights in the alley were flickering, making everything look darker.She heard footsteps behind her. Someone was following her. Emily looked back, her eyes full of fear. She couldn’t see who it was, but she knew they were close.“Please… not my baby,” she whispered, her voice shaky.She ran faster but suddenly bumped into a tall man. She fell back, her heart beating fast. She looked up and saw him smiling, but it wasn’t a kind smile.“Running won’t help you,” the man said.Emily tried to scream, but he grabbed her neck. She gasped for air, trying to push his hand away. Everything started to go blurry.Six months agoAlexander Sterling stepped out of the fancy black car. He couldn't help but stare graciously at the towering Sterling Enterprises building.“Soon, this company will be mine,” he whispered to himself before entering inside.He made his way to his office wh...
