A BABY FOR JULIAN Chapter 1 IN THE BEGINNING

She stood in the doorway of their small apartment, with her dad behind her, pleading with her mother not to leave. Tears streamed down her 12-year-old face.

"Please mom, don't go!" She begged, her voice breaking. "Whatever is going on can be settled."

Her mother's expression was blank as she stared at her innocent daughter."I have to go sweetheart, I'll come back and get you, I promise."

Lexi's small hands grasped her mother's arm, holding tight. "No, mum, please don't leave me! I'll be good, I promise." She cried, not willing to let go, while her dad just stood there staring sadly.

The middle aged woman gently took the girl's fingers off her arms and she squatted to her height. "It's not about you sweetheart. Someday you'll be grown up enough to understand."

The door closed and the woman walked away, dragging her luggage behind her.

"Mom!" The girl screamed loudly hoping that the woman would just turn around and change her mind, but that didn't happen, instead she got drowned by the sound of fading footsteps.

Lexi Thompson's eyes snapped open, her chest heaving as she grasped for air.

"That was just a dream." She mumbled knowing the real truth and the reason for the lingering memories.

"What a way to begin the day." She mumbled and threw off the covers and got off the bed, planting her foot on the ground. She walked to her window and pulled the window blind up, enjoying the view of the ground from her room.

As she stared through the window, her phone rang. It was Stephanie Hughes, her best and only friend since middle grade.

"Hey girlie." Stephanie's loud voice rang from the other side, causing Lexi to take the phone away from her ears for a moment wondering the reason for Stephanie's excitement, that early.

"You seem rather excited." Lexi mumbled and yawned softly.

"Wait, you're still in bed?" Stephanie gasped shockingly. "Anyways, guess what?"

Lexi's mind wandered as she tried to make a wide guess, and getting no clue at all, She groaned "would you tell me?"

"Fine. I got the contract to plan the fundraising gala for the children's gala." She exclaimed excitedly and Lexi smiled before shaking her head.

"I want you to be there.." Stephanie said again excitedly. "All of Los Angeles eligible bachelors will be there, including the Blackwood's."

"Count me in" Lexi said with excitement clear in her voice, considering that she's not attended Stephanie's events in a while. "So what are the details?"

"Saturday, 7 pm at Oakville Hilton. It's going to be huge, I'll send you the details." Stephanie replied softly. "And wear something stunning too, you never might know who'd notice."

Lexi chuckled she expected the tease anyways. "I'll do my best Steph" she grinned and paused "uhm Steph.., thanks for inviting me."

As Lexi hung up the phone, a broad smile found its way to her lips. The gala is just what she needed, it'd be the perfect break from her routine.

"Time to start the day." She whispered as her eyes darted to the wall clock. Lexi walked to the bathroom and with her usual cheerful expression, she began her morning routine, brushing her teeth and washing her face before stepping into the shower.

After her refreshing shower, Lexi wrapped herself in a towel and stepped out to the front of the mirror. She styled her hair into a messy bun, before applying light make up and slipping into her tailored trousers and white blouse.

Her eyes darted to the wall clock again and seeing that time was already far spent, she groaned. "I guess they'd have no time for breakfast then." She muttered and slipped into her shoes and then picked her bag before walking out of her room.

Ideally she resumes work on Mondays at 10am, and it's already fifteen minutes to. She'd have spared a few minutes for breakfast but due to the strictness of her superiors she couldn't risk it.

Lexi rushed out of her room, locking the door behind her, as she headed out, she collided with a familiar figure.

"Slow down princess!" Her dad exclaimed, steadying her.

"Sorry dad, I'm running late." She mumbled softly.

"It's fine kiddo, just be careful, I don't want you getting into trouble." Her dad said and patted her hair fondly.

"Love you dad." She grinned, feeling a surge of affection rush through her.

"Love you too sweetheart, be good alright." He smiled and Lexi nodded before rushing out.

She pushed open the front door and stepped out into the bright Los Angeles morning. The sun was out already and people were already going about their daily activities. Lexi hailed a cab and slid into the backseat. "Los Angeles Times, please." She instructed the driver.

As the drive to the office went on, Lexi's mind wandered. Her passion for writing got her a Job with the times although she still gets paid peanuts. "Someday I'll get to the greater heights I desire." She whispered and placed her palm on her chin trying to envision how busy her day will be.

Julian Blackwood penthouse, one of the most beautiful in Los Angeles, was to him a house of naughty dealings.

Vera, a stunning blonde, with perfect curves and facial features laid sprawled across Julian's King-sized bed, wrapped in the silky sheets.

"Come back to bed." She whispered her gaze solely fixed on Julian's naked chest as he stood by the window, staring out into the city.

"Not yet," he replied, his deep voice echoing through the room.

"Come on." She pouted cutely and when Julian didn't respond, she kicked the sheets off, revealing her naked body.

"Tease." He mumbled, staring lustfully at her. "Don't get too comfortable , Vera, it's just a transaction." He whispered, taking long strides to join her on the bed.

"For now." She grinned confidently. "You just can't resist me can you?" She whispered, her breath hot against his skin.

Julian's eyes Flashed with desire as he gazed at Vera's naked body. He grasped her waist and pulled her close. "Resisting you is almost impossible." He murmured, his lips tracing her neck, before resting on her collarbone.

Vers giggled triumphantly, she knew just how to get to him whenever she wanted to and soon, she'd have him wrapped around her fingers.

Their bodies intertwined and everything around them faded as they surrendered totally to their desires.

Moments later, Julian rolled off her, his chest heaving, and her body glistening with sweat. He reached for the drawer beside the bed and took a wad of cash and tossed it at her.

"Thanks for the distraction Vera." He mumbled his detached expression returning.

"D..distraction." She stuttered, hurt and anger flashing across her face. "Julian, why are you doing this? You know I love you and..."

"Don't say that." He warned cutting her off coldly. "This was just a transaction, nothing more."

Vera's face fell but she still persisted and wrapped her arms around Julian's chest. "I've never felt this way about anyone." She whispered, her eyes growing misty.

Julian's expression turned cold and more calculated as he took her hands off his body deliberately. "You're just another one of them sweetheart, don't fool yourself."

He got off the bed and made his way to the bathroom, certain that Vera was already aware of his rules. The sound of running water soon filled the room. And once he was done and returned to the room, the Blondie was gone, but his cash remained.

"She's dumb." He mumbled and walked to his closet picking his outfit for the day.

Once he was done dressing in a Navy blue Tuxedo and had already slipped his feet into his shoes, he picked his briefcase and phone and walked out of the room, meeting two guards in front of the door. One immediately collected the briefcase and the two trailed behind him.

His phone buzzed with messages and a satisfied sigh escaped his lips. Morning pleasure completed, time to attend to his empire.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."
