The Billionaire Secret Child
Billionaires Seven years ago, Emily Reuters, a young intern at her father's prestigious architectural firm, met billionaire real estate developer Wade Barrett at a masked charity ball. Their connection was instant and electric, leading to a night of passion. But by morning, Emily left Wade without revealing her identity, leaving only a cryptic note behind.
Weeks later, Emily discovered she was pregnant. Fearing the fallout for her father's firm and unprepared to face Wade, she made the difficult decision to leave the country and raise her son, Jacob, alone. She built a quiet life overseas, dedicating herself to motherhood while building her career in architecture. But secrets have a way of unraveling.
Seven years later, Emily returns to her hometown with Jacob to take a leadership role in her father's firm. Her once-stable world is shaken when she crosses paths with Wade during a critical project. Wade, now a more seasoned and introspective man, feels a mysterious familiarity with Emily. As they collaborate on the firm's ambitious Harborfront development, Wade becomes drawn to her intelligence and warmth.
However, Wade's suspicions deepen when he meets Jacob, a bright and imaginative boy who seems oddly familiar. When the truth about Jacob's parentage is revealed, Wade is furious. Hurt by Emily's decision to keep his son a secret, he struggles to reconcile his anger with his desire to be a father to Jacob-and to rekindle the connection he still feels with Emily.
Despite the tension, Wade commits himself to being a part of Jacob's life. He bonds with his son, impressing Emily with his unwavering devotion. Jacob, in turn, begins calling Wade "Daddy," a moment that cements the growing bond between father and son but leaves Emily questioning whether she can trust Wade as both a partner and a father.
Just as Emily begins to open her heart, scandal strikes. A disgruntled former employee accuses Wade of unethical practices related to the Harborfront project. The media seizes on the story, linking Emily and Jacob to the controversy. Suddenly, Emily finds her personal and professional life under scrutiny. Reporters camp outside her office and Jacob's school, threatening the stability she has worked so hard to create.
Wade, determined to clear his name, insists on protecting Emily and Jacob from the fallout. However, Emily's doubts resurface. Can Wade weather the storm and prove himself as the steadfast partner and father she needs him to be? Or will the pressure drive them apart?
In the midst of the chaos, Wade makes a bold public statement, clearing Emily and her father's firm of any wrongdoing and reaffirming his commitment to the project and his family. The city council reinstates the Harborfront project, giving Wade a chance to rebuild his reputation. Emily, touched by his courage and integrity, begins to see a future with him-but her fear of trusting too much holds her back.
Their budding relationship reaches a breaking point during a family dinner at Wade's penthouse. The evening begins joyfully, with Wade and Jacob laughing over dinosaur puzzles, but takes a sharp turn when Emily questions whether Wade is ready to truly commit. Wade, hurt by her lingering doubts, confesses his love for her, but Emily's hesitation creates a rift between them. Needing time to process her fears, Emily suggests they take a step back.
For weeks, Emily and Wade navigate a fragile distance. Wade throws himself into proving his innocence in the scandal, while Emily focuses on Jacob and her work. Both are haunted by memories of what they shared, but neither knows how to bridge the gap.
When Wade's name is finally cleared and the Harborfront project is approved, he reaches out to Emily, inviting her to see the completed designs. In the quiet of the firm's conference room, surrounded by blueprints and models, Wade lays his heart on the line. He tells Emily he understands her fears but insists he is ready to face the challenges of their future-together.
Emily, moved by Wade's vulnerability and the love he has shown for Jacob, admits her own feelings.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father
Temple Madison I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires.
Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world.
My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets.
I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her.
The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money.
I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table.
"Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead." I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Jessica C. Dolan Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he's not letting me go. Craving The Wrong Brother

The Sterling Scandal: Married To The Uncle
C.D I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me.
Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years.
The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought.
I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction.
With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun. The Bride He Cast Away on Their Wedding Night
