What happens when a billionaire's world crashes into the life of the woman he unknowingly left behind only to discover she's been hiding a secret that could change everything? Mia Blake is a struggling single mother fighting for her son's health and her own survival. When her sick child ends up in the ER, the last person she expects to run into is Elias Blackthorne, the man she once loved... and the father of her child. Elias is a powerful, ruthless billionaire, known for his cold heart and iron grip on the business world. But when he learns he has a son, his entire world begins to shift. Torn between his fiancée, a high stakes merger, and the truth Mia kept from him, Elias is forced to confront a past he buried... and a future he never saw coming. Now Mia and Elias must navigate a dangerous triangle of love, power, betrayal, and redemption while their son's life hangs in the balance. Will Elias choose love over legacy? Or will secrets and lies destroy them all?

Chapter 1 The Debt That Ruined Everything

Mia Adams stared at the crumpled hospital bill in her trembling hands, her heart hammering against her ribs. Another red notice. Another reminder that her son's life came with a price tag she could no longer afford.

Five years ago, she ran from a life she never asked for-a marriage built on coldness and contracts, not love. Now, she was back in New York, drowning in hospital fees, and the only man who could save her son was the one she vowed never to see again.

Elias Kingston.

Even the thought of his name made her chest ache.

The billionaire who had once been her husband in name only.

The father who didn't know he had a child.

"Mommy, I'm cold."

Her son, Liam, sat quietly on the hospital bed, his small body dwarfed by the white sheets. His lips were pale, eyes dull, but he smiled when Mia came closer, brushing the damp curls from his forehead.

She kissed his cheek, masking her worry with a smile. "Don't worry, baby. Mommy's going to fix everything."

But she didn't know how.

She'd tried every option. Crowdfunding. Loans. Charities. Nothing moved fast enough. Liam's leukemia required an aggressive treatment plan-and it wasn't covered by her minimal insurance.

One name remained on her list.

One man.

She hadn't spoken to Elias since the day she left him five years ago. Back when her father's debt had pushed her into a contract marriage with the cold-hearted billionaire.

Back when she thought she could leave without consequences.

Mia stood, kissed Liam's head again, and quietly stepped into the hallway. Her fingers hovered over the screen of her phone as she typed in the familiar number she swore she deleted years ago.

Elias Kingston - Mobile

Just one call, she told herself.

Just one request. For Liam.

The line rang once. Twice.

And then-his voice.

"Hello?"

She froze. It was deeper now. Colder. More controlled.

"It's... it's Mia."

A pause.

"Mia Adams?" His tone tightened.

"Yes. I- I wouldn't call if it wasn't important." Her voice wavered. "I need to see you."

There was silence on the line, long and sharp.

"You walked out five years ago without a word," he said slowly. "Now you want to see me?"

Her throat burned. "Please, Elias. It's not about us. It's about my son. He's sick."

Another pause. Then: "Where are you?"

The Blackstone Tower hadn't changed.

Polished glass, towering arrogance, and the sharp scent of money.

Mia felt out of place as she stood in the private elevator, wearing a faded coat and holding her breath. Security guards had stared when she gave her name. No one expected the ex-Mrs. Kingston to show up looking like she walked out of a bus station.

The doors slid open to the penthouse office floor, revealing marble floors and cold perfection. A tall assistant in heels nodded and motioned toward the large office at the end.

Mia stepped inside.

He sat behind a wide glass desk, dressed in a charcoal suit, not a strand of his black hair out of place. His steel-gray eyes locked onto hers.

Elias Kingston.

Her once-husband.

He stood slowly, his expression unreadable. "You've changed."

She swallowed. "You haven't."

His gaze swept over her face, pausing at the lines of exhaustion in her eyes. "Sit."

She did.

"I won't waste your time," she said, gripping the strap of her purse. "My son, Liam, is very sick. He needs treatment I can't afford. I wouldn't be here if I had another choice."

He said nothing.

"I'm not asking you to fix my life. Just... help him. I'll pay you back, I swear."

His expression didn't change. "How old is your son?"

"Four. Almost five."

Silence.

She saw the calculation behind his eyes-the dates, the math.

The shift in his expression was slow but devastating.

"He's mine," he said finally, voice low.

Mia's eyes burned.

"I wanted to tell you," she whispered. "But I was scared. You didn't want children. You didn't even want a wife."

"I wanted a choice," he snapped, voice rising. "You ran off and kept my son from me for five damn years."

She flinched. "I thought you'd force me to stay in that marriage. You hated me-"

"I paid for your father's debts. I gave you everything you asked for."

"It wasn't love, Elias. It was control."

His hands curled into fists on the desk. "And now you're here. Asking for help."

"No," she said softly. "I'm here asking for Liam. He's innocent. He deserves a chance."

He was quiet for a long time.

Then he moved around the desk and leaned close, his face inches from hers. His voice was like ice.

"I'll help him. I'll pay for everything. But there are conditions."

She looked up slowly.

"You'll move into my home. Live under my roof. I want to know my son. I want to watch you."

Her breath hitched. "You want me to be your wife again?"

"No." He straightened. "Just a mother under supervision."

It hurt more than she expected.

Mia stood slowly. "For Liam... I'll do anything."

"Good," he said. "Because you don't get to disappear again."

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.

Contract With The Devil: Love In Shackles

Contract With The Devil: Love In Shackles

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
