Celeste Hart vanished after a night with Damien Kane, leaving the world's richest man haunted by the memory of a butterfly tattoo. What he doesn't know is that she carried his greatest secret-four children whose gifts could rival empires. Years later, Celeste returns, cloaked in success and secrecy, determined to stay hidden as she takes a job in Damien's company. But the closer they grow, the harder it becomes to conceal the truth. With family betrayals lurking, children desperate to find their father, and a love too powerful to ignore, their lives are set on a collision course. And when the truth is revealed, nothing will ever be the same.

Chapter 1 The Drunken Night

Chapter One – The Drunken Night

The Kane Corporation's annual gala glittered with grandeur, a celebration that only the world's wealthiest man could host. Every wall shimmered with gold accents, every guest wore diamonds and designer gowns, and every conversation circled around one man-Damien Kane, the CEO who had built an empire so vast it made him the richest man alive.

At only thirty-two, Damien had conquered industries from technology to fashion, aviation to media. The world looked at him with awe, envy, and fear. Men wanted to be him, women wanted to claim him, and nations sought his approval. He was power personified, a king in a tailored suit.

But behind the sharp jawline, piercing gray eyes, and commanding aura was a man consumed by solitude. Success had cost him more than anyone knew, and tonight, despite the endless praise and flashing cameras, Damien felt only the weight of his empire pressing down on him.

His friend Marcus handed him another glass of whiskey. "For once in your life, enjoy what you've built," Marcus teased.

Damien downed the drink without a word. He rarely indulged-control was everything-but tonight, he let go. One glass became two, then three, until the edges of his restraint blurred. By midnight, he slipped out of the ballroom, his tie undone, his steps unsteady as he sought air beyond the suffocating chandeliers.

That was when Celeste Hart saw him.

She hadn't come to bask in wealth or power. She was there only as a favor, quietly helping her cousin handle event details. In her modest navy dress, she was a shadow among diamonds, but her elegance outshone them in a way that didn't need gold.

Her eyes caught on him instantly-Damien Kane, the man whose face was on every magazine, now leaning against a marble pillar like a lost soul. For all his wealth, he looked heartbreakingly human.

"Are you alright?" she asked softly.

He lifted his head, gray eyes meeting her warm brown ones. For a moment, the noise of the city faded. "Do I look alright to you?" His voice was low, roughened by drink.

Celeste hesitated, then shook her head. "No. You look like a man who carries too much."

Her honesty startled him. No flattery, no calculation. Just truth.

Damien chuckled bitterly. "Perhaps you see me better than most." His balance faltered, and instinctively, Celeste reached out, her hands pressing against his chest. He was solid, radiating strength and heat beneath the fine fabric of his shirt.

"Come," she said quietly, her voice trembling though she tried to hide it. "You shouldn't be alone."

He let her lead him, their steps carrying them away from glittering lights into the hushed corridors of a nearby hotel. Neither of them spoke much, yet the air between them grew heavier with each glance, each brush of their hands.

The door closed behind them with a soft click, shutting out the world.

Damien's control-built over years of discipline-shattered when Celeste looked up at him with those wide, searching eyes. He framed her face with his hands, his lips finding hers in a kiss that began tentative, almost uncertain, before deepening with hunger.

Celeste melted against him, her fingers curling into his shirt as though she'd been waiting for this moment all her life. The kiss was fire and solace all at once, stealing her breath, unraveling her defenses.

He trailed kisses along her neck, his voice husky. "You're dangerous," he whispered, though his hands betrayed no intent to stop.

"And you're drunk," she replied breathlessly, yet she didn't pull away.

The night unfolded in waves of passion and tenderness. Damien, the world's most untouchable man, bared his soul in her arms, while Celeste gave herself to him fully, trembling under the intensity of their connection. It wasn't just desire-it was need, raw and undeniable.

Hours blurred until dawn painted the horizon. Damien stirred, reaching for her, only to find cold sheets and emptiness. She was gone.

All that lingered was the faint perfume on the pillows, the memory of soft moans and whispered names, and one detail seared into his mind: the delicate butterfly tattoo at the small of her back, fluttering like a secret meant only for him.

He searched the room for a trace of her-anything. But there was no name, no number, no note. Nothing.

Damien Kane, the richest man in the world, who could buy anything, control anyone, had just lost the only woman who had ever made him feel alive.

And for Celeste, walking away with trembling hands pressed against her stomach, it was not just passion she carried-it was life. Four lives. The beginning of a secret that would change everything.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
