Eu era apenas uma mãe solteira tentando sobreviver—criando minhas filhas gêmeas sozinha, equilibrando as idas à creche e contas atrasadas 💔. Então consegui o emprego dos meus sonhos... e fiquei cara a cara com meu novo chefe: Xander Hale, o CEO bilionário que desapareceu após uma noite inesquecível cinco anos atrás 🔥. O homem que nunca soube que eu estava grávida. O homem que nunca soube que tinha filhas. Agora trabalho para ele todos os dias, escondendo a verdade que poderia destruir tudo—minha carreira, minha estabilidade, meu coração ❤️‍🔥. Porque se Xander descobrir que as gêmeas são dele... eu não sei se ele vai nos salvar—ou tirá-las de mim 💔. Capítulo 1 [POV Daphne] A manhã começou a desmoronar antes mesmo de eu abrir os olhos direito. "Mamãe, vamos fazer panquecas!" A voz de Nina atravessou o apartamento como um alarme de incêndio. Encontrei-a na cozinha, remexendo as gavetas. "Hoje não temos tempo para panquecas. Hoje é o grande dia da mamãe, tem entrevista para o novo emprego, lembra? Te contei ontem à noite." "Eu não me importo com seu trabalho." Ela fez biquinho. "Quero panquecas!" Antes que eu pudesse responder, Lisa apareceu na porta, o rosto franzido de aflição. "Mamãe, não acho meu sapato roxo. Preciso do meu sapato roxo." "E o rosa? O rosa é bonito." "Não!" Os olhos de Lisa se encheram de lágrimas. "Só roxo. Roxo é minha cor da sorte." Olhei para o relógio na parede próxima. Quarenta e cinco minutos até eu precisar atravessar aquelas portas do escritório. Quarenta e cinco minutos para alimentar duas teimosas de quatro anos, vesti-las, atravessar a cidade de carro e, de alguma forma, parecer uma profissional competente, digna de ser contratada. "Tá bom. Tá bom, deixa eu procurar o sapato." Caí de joelhos e olhei debaixo do sofá. Um sapato roxo, coberto de bolinhas de poeira. Procurei na sala, no quarto das meninas, debaixo das camas delas. Nada. Nina agora jogava aveia na mesa com a colher. Fingi que não vi porque não tinha tempo para essa batalha. O banheiro. Por que o banheiro? Mas lá estava ele — o segundo sapato roxo, inexplicavelmente ao lado do vaso sanitário. Eu estava de joelhos, estendendo a mão para pegá-lo, quando a voz baixa de Lisa me paralisou. “Mamãe, por que a gente não tem papai como as outras crianças?” Minha mão ficou imóvel sobre o sapato. A pergunta pairou no ar, inocente e devastadora — uma faca escorregando entre minhas costelas, com a delicadeza que só uma criança de quatro anos poderia ter. Virei-me e a vi parada na porta, o polegar pairando perto da boca, olhos escuros, grandes e sinceros. Olhos idênticos aos de outra pessoa. “O que você quer dizer, meu amor?” Minha voz saiu mais firme do que eu esperava. “A Emma na creche tem papai. E a Sophie também.” O lábio inferior de Lisa tremeu. “Mas a gente não tem. Nosso papai não quis a gente?” As palavras me atingiram como um golpe físico. Como eu poderia explicar isso para ela? Como explicar algo que nem eu sei? Provavelmente ele não me quis, porque foi embora cedo demais para sequer saber das nossas meninas. Abracei-a, apertando meus lábios contra seus cabelos escuros, tentando respirar apesar da dor no peito. “Nossa família é perfeita do jeito que é,” sussurrei. “A mamãe ama você e a Nina por cem pais. Você sabe disso, não sabe?” Lisa assentiu no meu ombro, dedinhos agarrados na minha blusa. “Eu sei, mamãe.” Mas a pergunta ficou no meu peito como uma mancha roxa enquanto eu a ajudava a calçar os sapatos roxos. Ouvi um estrondo vindo da cozinha. Minha caneca de café. Minha caneca de café cheia, derrubada pelo braço agitado da Nina durante seu protesto contra a aveia, agora espalhava um rio marrom pelo balcão e descia pela frente da minha blusa branca cuidadosamente escolhida. Fiquei ali por um momento, com o café pingando nos meus sapatos, e lembrei a mim mesma que chorar não adiantaria. "Mamãe, você está bagunçada", observou Nina. "Sim. Obrigada, Nina. Eu percebi." A roupa reserva, um blazer cinza levemente amassado e uma calça preta que eu pretendia passar, mas nunca consegui, teria que servir. Troquei de roupa em três minutos, enfiei as duas meninas nos casacos e, de alguma forma, consegui prendê-las nas cadeirinhas do carro apenas vinte minutos atrasada. "Mamãe, por que você está dirigindo tão rápido?" Lisa perguntou do banco de trás. "Não estou dirigindo rápido, querida. Estou dirigindo de forma eficiente." "O que é eficiente?" "Significa que a mamãe está tentando não perder a cabeça." Deixei-as na creche com beijos apressados e promessas de buscá-las bem na hora certa. Cinco anos disso—cinco anos sendo tudo para elas, esticando-me tanto que esqueci como era me sentir inteira. Mas esse emprego poderia mudar as coisas. Esse emprego significava estabilidade. Um salário de verdade, em vez de sobreviver com projetos freelancers que mal pagavam o aluguel. Plano de saúde para as meninas. Uma chance de reconstruir algo da pessoa que eu era antes que as noites sem dormir e as intermináveis birras de criança me esvaziassem. O prédio me fez sentir pequena assim que entrei. Pisos de mármore, elevadores espelhados, funcionários se movendo com eficiência silenciosa em suas roupas sob medida e passos seguros. Puxei o blazer amassado e tentei me endireitar. Tudo em mim parecia errado—desleixada, deslocada, como se eu tivesse entrado por engano na vida de outra pessoa. Enquanto esperava pelo RH perto da recepção, ouvi duas assistentes sussurrando por perto. "Você ouviu? Xander Hale rejeitou três candidatos na semana passada", disse uma delas, balançando a cabeça. "Três. Todos perfeitamente qualificados." A outra mulher assentiu com gravidade. "Ele é impossível de agradar. Lembra da Sarah? Ele a fez chorar no segundo dia." Elas trocaram olhares cúmplices, e meu estômago se apertou. O nome não significava nada para mim, mas o tom delas pintava um quadro que eu não gostava. O RH chegou antes que eu pudesse mergulhar ainda mais nos pensamentos—uma mulher de rosto gentil chamada Patrícia que sorria como se realmente quisesse. "Sra. Carter? Por aqui, por favor. O Sr. Hale está esperando por você." Ela me conduziu ao último andar por um corredor ladeado de grandes fotografias em preto e branco. Conquistas corporativas. Cerimônias de premiação. Homens de terno apertando as mãos, recebendo placas. Uma imagem me fez parar no meio do caminho. Meu coração bateu tão forte contra as costelas que achei que Patrícia devia ter ouvido. Um homem estava em um púlpito—traços marcantes, cabelos escuros, um olhar inabalável e uma tensão familiar no maxilar. Eu conhecia aquele rosto. Conhecia intimamente, embora só o tivesse visto por uma noite, cinco anos atrás. O estranho do bar. O homem que me fez sentir vista e desejada pela primeira vez na vida. Que desapareceu antes do amanhecer, deixando apenas um nome falso e um número de telefone que não funcionava. Que me deu Nina e Lisa sem nunca saber disso. "Sra. Carter?" Patrícia olhou para trás, uma preocupação passando rapidamente por seu rosto. "Está tudo bem?" Forcei um sorriso, desviando o olhar da fotografia. "Sim. Desculpe. Só... admirando a decoração." Eu devia estar sendo ridícula. Homens como ele, estranhos charmosos e desgrenhados em bares, não se tornam CEOs bilionários. Era só uma semelhança. O mundo estava cheio de homens de cabelos escuros e olhos intensos. Isso não significava nada. Certo? Chegamos ao escritório da esquina. Patricia bateu uma vez, anunciou meu nome e saiu com um sorriso encorajador. "O Sr. Hale irá lhe informar pessoalmente. Boa sorte." A porta se fechou atrás de mim com um clique. Um homem estava de costas para mim, junto à janela, telefone pressionado à orelha. Alto. Ombros largos. Terno caro. "Não me importo com o prazo," disse ele, a voz baixa e autoritária. "Faça acontecer." Aquela voz. Meu peito se apertou. Eu conhecia aquela voz. Já a tinha ouvido sussurrar meu nome em um quarto de hotel escuro, já a tinha sentido vibrar contra minha pele. Ele encerrou a ligação e se virou devagar. Quando nossos olhos se encontraram, o tempo pareceu parar. Era definitivamente ele, sem dúvidas. Mais velho agora, mais afiado, a barba por fazer substituída por traços limpos e uma aura de poder que eu nunca tinha visto antes. Mas inconfundivelmente ele. Os mesmos olhos escuros. A mesma intensidade que um dia me fez sentir como se eu fosse a única mulher no mundo. A surpresa cintilou em seus traços—uma rachadura na fachada polida, ali e desaparecida no espaço de um batimento cardíaco. Mas eu percebi. O leve arregalar de seus olhos, o quase imperceptível entreabrir de seus lábios, o modo como seu corpo ficou completamente imóvel, como um predador que acabara de avistar algo inesperado em seu território. Ele deu um passo à frente, e eu tive que lutar contra o impulso de recuar. Ele estudou meu rosto com um foco inquietante—seu olhar percorrendo meus traços como se os comparasse a uma lembrança, catalogando cada detalhe. O contorno do meu queixo. O formato da minha boca. Os olhos que tinham olhado para ele em um quarto de hotel escuro cinco anos atrás… "Nós já... nos conhecemos antes?" ele perguntou. Minha boca ficou seca. Mas eu fiquei congelada, o coração disparado, enquanto a verdade me atingia como uma onda. Meu possível chefe era o pai dos meus filhos. Meu Deus?! 😱 Leia Dois Pequenos Segredos do Meu Chefe para saber o que acontece a seguir! 🔥👔

Je n'étais qu'une mère célibataire essayant de survivre—élevant seule mes jumelles, jonglant entre les dépôts à la garderie et les factures en retard 💔. Puis j'ai décroché le job de mes rêves… et je me suis retrouvée face à face avec mon nouveau patron : Xander Hale, le PDG milliardaire qui avait disparu après une nuit inoubliable, il y a cinq ans 🔥. L'homme qui n'a jamais su que j'étais enceinte. L'homme qui n'a jamais su qu'il avait des filles. Maintenant, je travaille pour lui chaque jour, cachant la vérité qui pourrait tout détruire—ma carrière, ma stabilité, mon cœur ❤️‍🔥. Parce que si Xander découvre que mes jumelles sont les siennes… je ne sais pas s'il nous sauvera—ou s'il me les enlèvera 💔. Chapitre 1 [PDV Daphne] La matinée a commencé à dérailler avant même que j’ouvre vraiment les yeux. « Maman, faisons des pancakes ! » La voix de Nina a transpercé l’appartement comme une alarme incendie. Je l’ai trouvée dans la cuisine, fouillant dans les tiroirs. « On n’a pas le temps pour des pancakes aujourd’hui. Aujourd’hui, c’est le grand jour de maman avec un entretien pour son nouveau travail, tu te souviens ? Je t’en ai parlé hier soir. » « Je m’en fiche de ton travail. » Elle a fait la moue, la lèvre inférieure sortie. « Je veux des pancakes ! » Avant que je ne puisse répondre, Lisa est apparue sur le pas de la porte, le visage crispé d’angoisse. « Maman, je ne trouve pas mes chaussures violettes. J’ai besoin de mes chaussures violettes. » « Et tes roses ? Les roses sont jolies. » « Non ! » Les yeux de Lisa se sont remplis de larmes. « Seulement les violettes. Le violet, c’est ma couleur porte-bonheur. » J’ai jeté un coup d’œil à l’horloge du mur. Quarante-cinq minutes avant de devoir passer les portes de ce bureau. Quarante-cinq minutes pour nourrir deux petites filles têtues de quatre ans, les habiller, traverser la ville en voiture, et réussir à ressembler à une professionnelle compétente digne d’être embauchée. « D’accord. D’accord, laisse-moi trouver les chaussures. » Je me suis agenouillée et j’ai regardé sous le canapé. Une chaussure violette, couverte de moutons de poussière. J'ai fouillé le salon, la chambre des filles, sous leurs lits. Rien. Nina lançait maintenant activement de la bouillie d’avoine sur la table avec sa cuillère. J’ai fait semblant de ne pas le voir parce que je n’avais pas le temps pour cette bataille. La salle de bain. Pourquoi la salle de bain ? Mais elle était là—la deuxième chaussure violette, posée inexplicablement à côté des toilettes. J’étais à genoux, tendant la main pour la prendre, quand la voix douce de Lisa m’arrêta net. « Maman, pourquoi on n’a pas de papa comme les autres enfants ? » Ma main se figea sur la chaussure. La question resta suspendue dans l’air, innocente et dévastatrice—un couteau glissé entre mes côtes avec la douceur dont seule une fillette de quatre ans était capable. Je me retournai pour la voir debout dans l’embrasure de la porte, son pouce flottant près de sa bouche, ses grands yeux sombres grands ouverts, emplis de sincérité. Des yeux qui ressemblaient exactement à ceux de quelqu’un d’autre. « Qu’est-ce que tu veux dire, mon cœur ? » Ma voix sortit plus stable que je ne l’aurais cru. « Emma à la crèche a un papa. Et Sophie. » La lèvre inférieure de Lisa trembla. « Mais nous, non. Est-ce que notre papa ne nous voulait pas ? » Les mots me frappèrent comme un coup physique. Comment pourrais-je lui expliquer cela ? Comment expliquer quelque chose que j’ignore moi-même ? Il ne voulait probablement pas de moi, car il est parti trop tôt pour même savoir qu’il aurait eu des filles. Je la serrai dans mes bras, pressant mes lèvres contre ses cheveux sombres, respirant pour calmer la douleur dans ma poitrine. « Notre famille est parfaite telle qu’elle est, » murmurais-je. « Maman t’aime, toi et Nina, assez fort pour cent parents. Tu le sais, hein ? » Lisa hocha la tête contre mon épaule, ses petits doigts agrippant ma chemise. « Je sais, Maman. » Mais la question resta en moi comme un bleu, alors que je l’aidais à enfiler les chaussures violettes. J’ai entendu un fracas dans la cuisine. Ma tasse à café. Ma tasse de café pleine, renversée par le bras agité de Nina lors de sa protestation contre le porridge, répandait maintenant une rivière brune sur le comptoir et le long de ma blouse blanche soigneusement choisie. Je suis restée là un instant, le café dégoulinant sur mes chaussures, en me rappelant que pleurer n’arrangerait rien. « Maman, tu es toute sale », remarqua Nina. « Oui. Merci, Nina. J’ai remarqué. » La tenue de secours, un blazer gris légèrement froissé et un pantalon noir que j’avais prévu de repasser mais que je n’avais jamais pris le temps d’arranger, devrait faire l’affaire. Je me suis changée en trois minutes à peine, j’ai lutté pour enfiler des vestes à mes deux filles et, d’une façon ou d’une autre, je les ai installées dans leurs sièges-auto avec seulement vingt minutes de retard sur l’horaire. « Maman, pourquoi tu conduis si vite ? », demanda Lisa depuis la banquette arrière. « Je ne conduis pas vite, mon cœur. Je conduis efficacement. » « Ça veut dire quoi, efficacement ? » « Ça veut dire que Maman essaie de ne pas perdre la tête. » Je les ai déposées à la crèche avec des baisers pressés et des promesses de venir les chercher pile à l’heure. Cinq ans comme ça — cinq ans à être tout pour elles, à me dépenser au point d’oublier ce que c’était d’être entière. Mais ce travail pouvait tout changer. Ce travail signifiait la stabilité. Un vrai salaire au lieu de survivre grâce à des missions en freelance qui couvraient à peine le loyer. Une assurance santé pour les filles. Une chance de reconstruire un peu de la personne que j’étais avant que les nuits blanches et les crises interminables de tout-petits ne m’aient vidée. Le bâtiment m’a fait me sentir minuscule dès que j’y suis entrée. Sols en marbre, ascenseurs à miroirs, employés se déplaçant avec une efficacité discrète, vêtements impeccables et démarche assurée. J’ai tiré sur mon blazer froissé et tenté de me tenir plus droite. Tout en moi me semblait faux — négligée, déplacée, comme si j’étais entrée par erreur dans la vie de quelqu’un d’autre. En attendant devant le bureau de la réception pour rencontrer les RH, j’entendis deux assistantes chuchoter à proximité. « Tu as entendu ? Xander Hale a refusé trois candidats la semaine dernière », dit l’une, secouant la tête. « Trois. Tous parfaitement qualifiés. » L’autre femme acquiesça gravement. « Il est impossible à satisfaire. Tu te souviens de Sarah ? Il l’a fait pleurer dès son deuxième jour. » Elles échangèrent un regard entendu, et mon estomac se serra. Ce prénom ne signifiait rien pour moi, mais leur ton dressait un tableau peu rassurant. Les RH arrivèrent avant que je ne me laisse envahir par l’angoisse — une femme au visage avenant nommée Patricia, dont le sourire semblait sincère. « Mademoiselle Carter ? Par ici. Monsieur Hale vous attend. » Elle me conduisit à l’étage supérieur, le long d’un couloir décoré de grandes photographies en noir et blanc. Succès de l’entreprise. Remises de prix. Des hommes en costume se serrant la main, recevant des plaques. Une image me fit m’arrêter net. Mon cœur battit si fort contre ma poitrine que je crus que Patricia avait dû l’entendre. Un homme se tenait à un pupitre — traits marqués, cheveux foncés, regard inébranlable et cette tension familière dans la mâchoire. Je connaissais ce visage. Je le connaissais intimement, même si je ne l’avais vu qu’une seule nuit, il y a cinq ans. L’inconnu du bar. L’homme qui m’avait donné l’impression d’être vue, désirée, pour la première fois de ma vie. Qui avait disparu avant le matin, ne laissant qu’un faux nom et un numéro de téléphone qui ne fonctionnait pas. Qui m’avait donné Nina et Lisa sans jamais le savoir. « Mademoiselle Carter ? » Patricia se retourna, une lueur d’inquiétude traversant son visage. « Tout va bien ? » Je forçai un sourire, détachant mes yeux de la photographie. « Oui. Désolée. Je… j’admirais la décoration. » Je devais être ridicule. Les hommes comme lui, ces inconnus ébouriffés et charmants dans les bars, ne devenaient pas PDG milliardaires. Ce n’était qu’une ressemblance. Le monde était rempli d’hommes aux cheveux noirs et au regard intense. Cela ne voulait rien dire. N’est-ce pas ? Nous arrivâmes devant le bureau d’angle. Patricia frappa une fois, annonça mon nom, puis partit avec un sourire encourageant. « M. Hale va vous recevoir en personne. Bonne chance. » La porte se referma derrière moi dans un déclic. Un homme se tenait à la fenêtre, de dos, le téléphone collé à l’oreille. Grand. Carrure imposante. Costume hors de prix. « Je me fiche du délai, » dit-il d’une voix grave et autoritaire. « Faites-le. » Cette voix. Ma poitrine se serra. Je connaissais cette voix. Je l’avais entendue murmurer mon nom dans une chambre d’hôtel plongée dans l’obscurité, l’avais sentie vibrer contre ma peau. Il raccrocha et se retourna lentement. Lorsque nos regards se croisèrent, le temps sembla s’arrêter. C’était bien lui, aucun doute. Plus âgé à présent, plus tranchant, la barbe remplacée par des lignes nettes et une aura de puissance que je ne lui avais jamais connue. Mais c’était indubitablement lui. Les mêmes yeux sombres. La même intensité qui, autrefois, me donnait l’impression d’être la seule femme au monde. La surprise traversa fugacement ses traits—une brèche dans la façade polie, apparue et disparue en une fraction de seconde. Mais je la vis. Légère ouverture de ses yeux, lèvres à peine entrouvertes, son corps subitement figé, tel un prédateur qui vient de repérer l’inattendu sur son territoire. Il fit un pas en avant, et je dus lutter contre l’envie de reculer. Il scruta mon visage avec une concentration troublante—son regard parcourait mes traits comme s’il les comparait à un souvenir, enregistrant chaque détail. La ligne de ma mâchoire. La forme de ma bouche. Les yeux qui l’avaient regardé dans une chambre d’hôtel faiblement éclairée, il y a cinq ans… « Nous… nous sommes déjà rencontrés ? » demanda-t-il. Ma bouche se dessécha. Mais je restai figée, le cœur battant la chamade, tandis que la vérité me submergeait comme une vague. Mon potentiel patron était le père de mes enfants. Oh mon Dieu ?! 😱 Lisez "Deux Petits Secrets de Mon Patron" pour découvrir la suite ! 🔥👔

Csak egy egyedülálló anya voltam, aki próbált túlélni—egymagam neveltem az ikerlányaimat, egyensúlyoztam a bölcsődei elhozatalok és a lejárt számlák között 💔. Aztán megkaptam az álommunkámat… és szembe találtam magam az új főnökömmel: Xander Hale-lel, a milliárdos vezérigazgatóval, aki eltűnt egy felejthetetlen éjszaka után, öt évvel ezelőtt 🔥. Az a férfi, aki sosem tudta, hogy terhes voltam. Az a férfi, aki sosem tudta, hogy vannak lányai. Most minden nap neki dolgozom, elrejtve az igazságot, ami mindent tönkretehetne— a karrieremet, a stabilitásomat, a szívemet ❤️‍🔥. Mert ha Xander rájön, hogy az ikrek az övéi… nem tudom, megment-e minket—vagy elveszi őket tőlem 💔. 1. fejezet [POV Daphne] A reggel már azelőtt kezdett szétesni, hogy rendesen kinyitottam volna a szemem. „Anya, csináljunk palacsintát!” – Nina hangja úgy szelte át a lakást, mint egy tűzriadó. A konyhában találtam rá, ahogy a fiókokban turkált. „Ma nincs időnk palacsintára. Ma van anya nagy napja, az új állás interjúja, emlékszel? Tegnap este mondtam neked.” „Nem érdekel a munkád.” Lebiggyesztette az alsó ajkát. „Palacsintát akarok!” Mielőtt válaszolhattam volna, Lisa jelent meg az ajtóban, arca szomorúságtól eltorzult. „Anya, nem találom a lila cipőmet. Szükségem van a lila cipőmre.” „Mi lenne a rózsaszínnel? Az is szép.” „Nem!” Lisa szeme megtelt könnyekkel. „Csak a lila. A lila a szerencseszínem.” Az órára pillantottam a közeli falon. Negyvenöt perc, mire át kellett lépnem annak az irodának az ajtaján. Negyvenöt perc, hogy megetessem a két makacs négyévest, felöltöztessem őket, átvezessek a városon, és valahogy úgy nézzek ki, mint egy kompetens, felvételre méltó szakember. „Jó. Jó, hadd kerítsem elő a cipőt.” Letérdeltem, és benéztem a kanapé alá. Egy lila cipő, porcicákkal borítva. Átkutattam a nappalit, a lányok szobáját, az ágyuk alját. Semmi. Nina most már aktívan pöckölte az asztalra a zabkását a kanállal. Úgy tettem, mintha nem venném észre, mert nem volt időm erre a csatára. A fürdőszoba. Miért pont a fürdő? De ott volt — a második lila cipő, megmagyarázhatatlanul a vécé mellett. Térdelve nyúltam érte, amikor Lisa halk hangja megdermesztett. "Anya, miért nincs nekünk apukánk, mint a többi gyereknek?" A kezem megállt a cipőn. A kérdés ott lebegett a levegőben, ártatlanul és pusztítóan — egy kés, mely csak egy négyéves gyengédségével csusszan bordáim közé. Megfordultam, és megláttam őt az ajtóban állni, hüvelykujja a szája közelében, sötét, tágra nyílt, őszinte szemekkel. Pontosan olyan szemek, mint valaki máséi. "Hogy érted, kicsim?" A hangom váratlanul nyugodtan csengett. "Emmának az oviban van apukája. És Sophiénak is." Lisa alsó ajka remegett. "De nekünk nincs. A mi apukánk nem akart minket?" A szavak fizikai ütésként értek. Hogy is tudnám ezt elmagyarázni neki? Hogy magyarázzam el valamit, amit én sem tudok? Valószínűleg engem nem akart, mert túl korán ment el ahhoz, hogy egyáltalán tudjon a lányainkról. Magamhoz húztam, ajkamat sötét hajához szorítva, a mellkasomban sajgó fájdalmat átlélegezve. "A mi családunk pont így tökéletes," suttogtam. "Anya úgy szeret téged és Ninát, mintha száz szülő szeretne. Tudod ezt, ugye?" Lisa a vállamnak bújt, kis ujjai a pólómba kapaszkodtak. "Tudom, Anya." De a kérdés ott lüktetett a mellkasomban, mint egy véraláfutás, miközben segítettem felhúzni rá a lila cipőt. Egy csattanást hallottam a konyhából. A kávésbögrém. A teljes kávés bögrém, amelyet Nina csapkodó karja borított fel a zabkásás tiltakozása közben, most barna folyót eresztett végig a pulton, majd le a gondosan kiválasztott fehér blúzom elején. Ott álltam egy pillanatig, miközben a kávé a cipőmre csöpögött, és emlékeztettem magam, hogy a sírás nem segít. „Anya, koszos vagy” – állapította meg Nina. „Igen. Köszönöm, Nina. Én is észrevettem.” A tartalék ruha, egy kissé gyűrött szürke blézer és egy fekete nadrág, amit már rég ki akartam vasalni, de sosem jutottam el odáig, most kénytelen volt megfelelni. Három perc alatt átöltöztem, mindkét lányt bepréseltem a kabátjukba, és valahogy sikerült őket bekötni az autóülésükbe, mindössze húsz perccel lemaradva a tervtől. „Anya, miért vezetsz ilyen gyorsan?” – kérdezte Lisa a hátsó ülésről. „Nem vezetek gyorsan, kicsim. Hatékonyan vezetek.” „Mit jelent az, hogy hatékonyan?” „Azt jelenti, hogy anya próbál nem elveszíteni az eszét.” Sietős puszikkal és ígéretekkel, hogy pontosan értük jövök, tettem ki őket az óvodánál. Öt éve tart ez – öt éve vagyok minden számukra, annyira kinyújtva magam, hogy már elfelejtettem, milyen érzés egésznek lenni. De ez a munka mindent megváltoztathat. Ez a munka stabilitást jelentene. Igazi fizetést ahelyett, hogy alig boldogulnék olyan szabadúszó projektekkel, amik éppen csak fedezik a lakbért. Egészségbiztosítást a lányoknak. Esélyt arra, hogy valamit visszaépítsek abból, aki valaha voltam, mielőtt az álmatlan éjszakák és a végtelen kisgyermeki hisztik teljesen kiüresítettek volna. Az épület már akkor összenyomott, amikor beléptem. Márványpadló, tükrös liftek, csöndesen, hatékonyan mozgó alkalmazottak az elegáns ruhájukban, magabiztos léptekkel. Megigazítottam a gyűrött blézeremet, és próbáltam egyenesebben állni. Minden bennem rossznak tűnt – elnyűttnek, oda nem illőnek, mintha véletlenül valaki más életébe tévedtem volna. Amíg a recepció mellett vártam a HR-re, két asszisztens suttogását hallottam meg a közelben. „Hallottad? Xander Hale múlt héten három jelöltet utasított vissza” – mondta az egyik, miközben a fejét csóválta. „Hármat. Mind tökéletesen alkalmasak voltak.” A másik nő komoly arccal bólintott. „Lehetetlen a kedvében járni. Emlékszel Sarah-ra? A második napján sírni kényszerítette.” Összenéztek, mintha egy titkot osztanának meg, és a gyomromban szorító érzés támadt. A név semmit sem jelentett nekem, de a hangjuk olyan képet festett, amelyet nem akartam látni. Mielőtt még tovább süllyedhettem volna a gondolataimba, HR megérkezett – egy kedves arcú nő, Patricia, aki őszintén mosolygott. „Ms. Carter? Erre fáradjon. Mr. Hale már várja.” Végigvezetett a legfelső emeletre egy folyosón, amelyet nagy, fekete-fehér fényképek szegélyeztek. Vállalati eredmények. Díjátadó ünnepségek. Öltönyös férfiak kezet fognak, plaketteket vesznek át. Egy kép láttán megtorpantam. A szívem olyan erővel dobbant a bordáimhoz, hogy azt hittem, Patricia is meghallhatta. Egy férfi állt a pódiumon – markáns vonások, sötét haj, rendíthetetlen tekintet, ismerős feszültség az állkapcsában. Felismertem azt az arcot. Intimen ismertem, noha csak egy éjszakán át láttam öt évvel ezelőtt. A bárban megismert idegen. Az a férfi, aki először éreztette velem, hogy látva és kívánva vagyok. Aki hajnal előtt eltűnt, csak egy hamis nevet és működésképtelen telefonszámot hagyva maga után. Aki adott nekem Ninát és Lisát, anélkül, hogy valaha tudta volna. „Ms. Carter?” – pillantott vissza Patricia, arcán aggodalom villant át. „Minden rendben?” Erőltetett mosollyal szakítottam el a tekintetem a fényképről. „Persze. Bocsánat. Csak… gyönyörködöm a dekorációban.” Biztosan nevetséges vagyok. Az ilyen férfiak, a borostás, sármos idegenek a bárokban, nem lesznek milliárdos vezérigazgatók. Ez csak hasonlóság lehetett. A világ tele volt sötét hajú, intenzív tekintetű férfiakkal. Ez nem jelentett semmit. Ugye? Elértünk a sarokirodához. Patricia egyszer kopogott, bemondta a nevemet, majd bátorító mosollyal távozott. „Mr. Hale személyesen fogja tájékoztatni. Sok sikert.” Az ajtó halkan záródott mögöttem. Egy férfi állt az ablaknál, háttal nekem, telefon a füléhez szorítva. Magas volt. Széles vállú. Drága öltönyben. „Nem érdekel az ütemterv,” mondta, hangja mély és parancsoló. „Csak oldják meg.” Az a hang. A mellkasom összeszorult. Felismertem azt a hangot. Hallottam már, ahogy a nevemet suttogja egy sötét hotelszobában, éreztem, ahogy a bőrömön rezdül. Letette a telefont, és lassan felém fordult. Ahogy összeakadt a tekintetünk, megállt az idő. Kétség sem fért hozzá, ő volt az. Idősebb most, élesebb vonásokkal, a borosta helyett tiszta vonalak, s olyan erő sugárzott belőle, amit korábban nem láttam. De kétségkívül ő volt az. Ugyanaz a sötét tekintet. Ugyanaz az intenzitás, amelytől egykor úgy éreztem, én vagyok az egyetlen nő a világon. Meglepetés villant át az arcán – egy repedés a csiszolt álarcon, amely egy szívdobbanásnyi idő alatt tűnt fel és el. De én észrevettem. A szeme enyhe tágulását, az ajkai alig látható elnyílását, ahogy a teste teljesen mozdulatlanná dermedt, mint egy ragadozó, aki váratlanul megpillant valamit a területén. Előrelépett, nekem pedig küzdenem kellett azzal a késztetéssel, hogy hátralépjek. Feszült figyelemmel tanulmányozta az arcom – úgy pásztázta a vonásaimat, mintha egy emlékkel hasonlítaná össze őket, minden apró részletet elraktározva. Az állam ívét. A szám formáját. Azokat a szemeket, amelyek öt éve egy sötét hotelszobában néztek fel rá… „Találkoztunk már… korábban?” kérdezte. A szám kiszáradt. De mozdulatlan maradtam, heves szívveréssel, ahogy az igazság végigsöpört rajtam, mint egy hullám. A leendő főnököm a gyermekeim apja volt. Istenem?! 😱 Olvasd el a Két Kis Titok A Főnökömtől című történetet, hogy megtudd, mi történik ezután! 🔥👔

Ich war einfach nur eine alleinerziehende Mutter, die versuchte zu überleben—meine Zwillingsmädchen allein großzuziehen, zwischen Kita-Abgaben und überfälligen Rechnungen zu jonglieren 💔. Dann bekam ich meinen Traumjob… und stand plötzlich meinem neuen Chef gegenüber: Xander Hale, dem milliardenschweren CEO, der nach einer unvergesslichen Nacht vor fünf Jahren spurlos verschwand 🔥. Der Mann, der nie wusste, dass ich schwanger war. Der Mann, der nie wusste, dass er Töchter hat. Jetzt arbeite ich jeden Tag für ihn und verberge die Wahrheit, die alles zerstören könnte—meine Karriere, meine Stabilität, mein Herz ❤️‍🔥. Denn wenn Xander herausfindet, dass meine Zwillinge seine sind… weiß ich nicht, ob er uns retten oder sie mir wegnehmen wird 💔. Kapitel 1 [POV Daphne] Der Morgen begann auseinanderzufallen, bevor ich überhaupt richtig die Augen geöffnet hatte. "Mama, lass uns Pfannkuchen machen!" Ninas Stimme durchdrang die Wohnung wie ein Feueralarm. Ich fand sie in der Küche, wie sie in den Schubladen wühlte. "Heute haben wir keine Zeit für Pfannkuchen. Heute ist Mamas großer Tag mit einem Bewerbungsgespräch für ihren neuen Job, erinnerst du dich? Ich habe dir gestern Abend davon erzählt." "Mir ist dein Job egal." Sie schob die Unterlippe raus. "Ich will Pfannkuchen!" Bevor ich antworten konnte, erschien Lisa im Türrahmen, das Gesicht vor Kummer verzogen. "Mama, ich finde meine lila Schuhe nicht. Ich brauche meine lila Schuhe." "Was ist mit deinen rosa Schuhen? Die rosa sind hübsch." "Nein!" Lisas Augen füllten sich mit Tränen. "Nur lila. Lila ist meine Glücksfarbe." Ich warf einen Blick auf die Uhr an der Wand. Noch fünfundvierzig Minuten, bis ich durch diese Bürotüren gehen musste. Fünfundvierzig Minuten, um zwei starrköpfige Vierjährige zu füttern, sie anzuziehen, quer durch die Stadt zu fahren und irgendwie wie eine kompetente, einstellungswürdige Fachkraft auszusehen. "Okay. Okay, ich suche die Schuhe." Ich ließ mich auf die Knie fallen und blickte unter das Sofa. Ein lila Schuh, bedeckt mit Wollmäusen. Ich durchsuchte das Wohnzimmer, das Schlafzimmer der Mädchen, unter ihren Betten. Nichts. Nina schleuderte jetzt aktiv Haferbrei mit ihrem Löffel auf den Tisch. Ich tat so, als würde ich es nicht sehen, weil ich keine Zeit für diesen Kampf hatte. Das Badezimmer. Warum das Badezimmer? Aber da war er – der zweite lila Schuh, unerklärlicherweise direkt neben der Toilette. Ich war auf den Knien und griff danach, als Lisas leise Stimme mich wie erstarrt innehalten ließ. "Mama, warum haben wir keinen Papa wie die anderen Kinder?" Meine Hand verharrte auf dem Schuh. Die Frage hing in der Luft, unschuldig und niederschmetternd – ein Messer, das mit der Sanftheit, wie sie nur eine Vierjährige aufbringen kann, zwischen meine Rippen glitt. Ich drehte mich um und sah sie im Türrahmen stehen, den Daumen in der Nähe ihres Mundes, dunkle Augen weit geöffnet und ernst. Augen, die genauso aussahen wie jemand anderes. "Was meinst du, Schatz?" Meine Stimme klang fester, als ich erwartet hatte. "Emma in der Kita hat einen Papa. Und Sophie auch." Lisas Unterlippe begann zu zittern. "Aber wir nicht. Wollte unser Papa uns nicht?" Die Worte trafen mich wie ein körperlicher Schlag. Wie sollte ich ihr das nur erklären? Wie sollte ich etwas erklären, das ich selbst nicht weiß? Wahrscheinlich wollte er mich nicht, weil er zu früh gegangen war, um überhaupt von unseren Mädchen zu erfahren. Ich zog sie in meine Arme, drückte meine Lippen in ihr dunkles Haar und atmete durch den Schmerz in meiner Brust. "Unsere Familie ist genauso perfekt, wie sie ist", flüsterte ich. "Mama liebt dich und Nina mehr, als es hundert Eltern könnten. Das weißt du doch, oder?" Lisa nickte an meiner Schulter, ihre kleinen Finger krallten sich in mein Hemd. "Ich weiß, Mama." Doch die Frage lag mir wie ein blauer Fleck auf der Brust, während ich ihr in die lila Schuhe half. Aus der Küche hörte ich ein Krachen. Meine Kaffeetasse. Meine volle Kaffeetasse, von Ninas fuchtelndem Arm während ihres Haferbrei-Protests umgestoßen, ergoss nun einen braunen Fluss über die Theke und die Vorderseite meiner sorgfältig ausgewählten weißen Bluse. Einen Moment stand ich da, der Kaffee tropfte auf meine Schuhe, und ich erinnerte mich daran, dass Weinen nichts helfen würde. "Mama, du bist schmutzig", stellte Nina fest. "Ja. Danke, Nina. Das ist mir aufgefallen." Das Ersatzoutfit, ein leicht zerknitterter grauer Blazer und schwarze Hosen, die ich eigentlich noch bügeln wollte, aber nie dazu gekommen war, musste genügen. In drei Minuten hatte ich mich umgezogen, beide Mädchen in ihre Jacken gezwängt und sie irgendwie in ihren Kindersitzen angeschnallt – nur zwanzig Minuten hinter dem Zeitplan. "Mama, warum fährst du so schnell?" fragte Lisa vom Rücksitz. "Ich fahre nicht schnell, Liebling. Ich fahre effizient." "Was heißt effizient?" "Das heißt, Mama versucht, nicht den Verstand zu verlieren." Ich setzte sie mit hastigen Küssen und dem Versprechen, sie pünktlich abzuholen, bei der Kita ab. Fünf Jahre davon – fünf Jahre, in denen ich alles für sie war, mich so weit gedehnt hatte, dass ich vergessen hatte, wie es sich anfühlte, ganz zu sein. Aber dieser Job könnte etwas verändern. Dieser Job bedeutete Stabilität. Ein richtiges Gehalt, statt gerade so mit freiberuflichen Aufträgen über die Runden zu kommen, die kaum die Miete deckten. Krankenversicherung für die Mädchen. Eine Chance, etwas von der Person wieder aufzubauen, die ich war, bevor schlaflose Nächte und endlose Trotzanfälle mich ausgehöhlt hatten. Das Gebäude ließ mich klein fühlen, sobald ich es betrat. Marmorböden, verspiegelte Aufzüge, Angestellte, die mit leiser Effizienz in maßgeschneiderter Kleidung und selbstbewusstem Schritt unterwegs waren. Ich zupfte an meinem zerknitterten Blazer und versuchte, aufrechter zu stehen. Alles an mir fühlte sich falsch an – schäbig, fehl am Platz, als wäre ich aus Versehen in das Leben eines anderen geraten. Während ich nahe dem Empfangstresen auf die Personalabteilung wartete, belauschte ich zwei Assistentinnen, die in der Nähe leise tuschelten. "Hast du es gehört? Xander Hale hat letzte Woche drei Kandidaten abgelehnt", sagte die eine und schüttelte den Kopf. "Drei. Allesamt perfekt qualifiziert." Die andere Frau nickte ernst. "Er ist unmöglich zufriedenzustellen. Erinnerst du dich an Sarah? Er hat sie an ihrem zweiten Tag zum Weinen gebracht." Sie tauschten wissende Blicke, und mir zog sich der Magen zusammen. Der Name sagte mir nichts, aber ihr Tonfall zeichnete ein Bild, das mir nicht gefiel. Die Personalchefin kam, bevor ich weiter in Panik geraten konnte – eine gutmütig wirkende Frau namens Patricia, die so lächelte, als meinte sie es ehrlich. "Ms. Carter? Dieser Weg, bitte. Mr. Hale erwartet Sie schon." Sie führte mich ins oberste Stockwerk, durch einen Flur, gesäumt von großen Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien. Unternehmenserfolge. Preisverleihungen. Männer in Anzügen, die Hände schütteln, Plaketten entgegennehmen. Ein Bild ließ mich mitten im Schritt erstarren. Mein Herz hämmerte so heftig gegen meine Rippen, dass Patricia es eigentlich hätte hören müssen. Ein Mann stand am Rednerpult – markante Gesichtszüge, dunkles Haar, ein unerschütterlicher Blick und eine vertraute Anspannung im Kiefer. Ich kannte dieses Gesicht. Ich kannte es intim, obwohl ich es nur für eine Nacht vor fünf Jahren gesehen hatte. Der Fremde aus der Bar. Der Mann, der mich zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben gesehen und begehrt hatte. Der vor dem Morgen verschwunden war, nur einen falschen Namen und eine nicht funktionierende Telefonnummer hinterlassend. Der mir Nina und Lisa geschenkt hatte, ohne es je zu wissen. "Ms. Carter?" Patricia blickte zurück, Besorgnis huschte über ihr Gesicht. "Alles in Ordnung?" Ich zwang mich zu einem Lächeln und riss den Blick von dem Foto los. "Alles gut. Entschuldigung. Ich bewundere nur die Dekoration." Ich musste lächerlich sein. Männer wie er, ungepflegte, charmante Fremde in Bars, wurden keine Milliardärs-CEOs. Es war nur eine Ähnlichkeit. Die Welt war voller dunkelhaariger Männer mit intensiven Augen. Das bedeutete nichts. Oder? Wir erreichten das Eckbüro. Patricia klopfte einmal, nannte meinen Namen und verabschiedete sich mit einem aufmunternden Lächeln. "Mr. Hale wird Sie persönlich einweisen. Viel Glück." Die Tür schloss sich leise hinter mir. Ein Mann stand am Fenster, den Rücken zu mir gewandt, das Telefon ans Ohr gedrückt. Groß. Breite Schultern. Maßgeschneiderter Anzug. "Mir ist der Zeitplan egal", sagte er, seine Stimme tief und bestimmend. "Sorgen Sie dafür, dass es passiert." Diese Stimme. Meine Brust zog sich zusammen. Ich kannte diese Stimme. Ich hatte sie meinen Namen in einem dunklen Hotelzimmer flüstern hören, hatte sie an meiner Haut vibrieren gespürt. Er beendete das Gespräch und drehte sich langsam um. Als sich unsere Blicke trafen, schien die Zeit stillzustehen. Es war definitiv er, kein Zweifel. Älter jetzt, schärfer, der Bartstoppel ersetzt durch klare Linien und eine Aura von Macht, die ich vorher nie bemerkt hatte. Aber unverkennbar er. Dieselben dunklen Augen. Dieselbe Intensität, die mich einst fühlen ließ, als wäre ich die einzige Frau auf der Welt. Überraschung flackerte über seine Züge – ein Riss in der polierten Fassade, da und im nächsten Moment wieder verschwunden. Aber ich bemerkte es. Das leichte Weiten seiner Augen, das kaum merkliche Öffnen seiner Lippen, die Art, wie sein Körper vollkommen still wurde, wie ein Raubtier, das etwas Unerwartetes in seinem Revier entdeckt hat. Er trat vor, und ich musste gegen den Impuls ankämpfen, zurückzuweichen. Mit beunruhigender Intensität musterte er mein Gesicht – sein Blick verfolgte meine Züge, als würde er sie mit einer Erinnerung abgleichen und jedes Detail speichern. Die Linie meines Kiefers. Die Form meines Mundes. Die Augen, die ihn vor fünf Jahren in einem schummrigen Hotelzimmer angesehen hatten… "Haben wir... uns schon einmal getroffen?" fragte er. Mein Mund wurde trocken. Aber ich stand wie erstarrt da, das Herz raste, als die Wahrheit über mich hereinbrach wie eine Welle. Mein potenzieller Chef war der Vater meiner Kinder. Oh mein Gott?! 😱 Lies "Two Little Secrets From My Boss", um zu erfahren, wie es weitergeht! 🔥👔

I took the worst-paid, worst-idea job on the island to pay off the debt my ex left me — and accidentally found the best life I've ever had. 🔥 The listing said "caretaker for exotic creatures." It didn't mention that behind seven sealed doors live seven monsters — and not one of them is interested in my heart, only in ruining me for anything human. 😳 The one who breathes underwater keeps me under till I forget my own name. The one with tentacles never runs out of hands. No strings. No feelings. No man asking how I feel in the morning. Just the best s*x of my life, on repeat, each one wilder than the last. 🐙 I came here broken, swearing off love forever. I never said anything about monsters. 💋 The only problem? What I signed up for goes far deeper than I ever read — and the price is one I never agreed to pay. 🤫 ——————————————————— Chapter 1 — Crystal's POV Position: [not specified]. Location: Saint-Barthélemy, on-site housing provided. Compensation: €4,500/month. Start date: immediate. Requirements: female, single, good health, experience with caregiving preferred. Good fertility. Nature of work: daily care and interaction with exotic creatures. Interested applicants reply to this address only. I'd found it buried in a local forum between an ad for a retired fisherman's boat and someone selling homemade coconut oil, and I'd screenshot it before it could disappear, the way things on that forum tended to do. I read it for the fourth time, and it didn't get any less suspicious. The waiting room was trying hard to impress. White leather chairs, a marble coffee table, and a massive aerial photograph of Saint-Barthélemy's coastline. I crossed and uncrossed my legs. Checked my phone, read the listing again. "Weird listing, right?" The woman two chairs over was watching me. Mid-thirties, tanned, the kind of sun-bleached hair that came from actually living near the ocean She nodded at my phone. "No company name, no job title. Just 'exotic creatures' and a salary that's too good to be real." "We might be considered crazy for coming here." "Honey, half the island applied. That money?" She whistled low. "I've got two kids and an ex who thinks child support is optional. I'd scrub dragon cages for that number." I almost laughed. But before I could open my mouth, the door at the end of the room opened, and a voice cut through. "Crystal Le Grand?" I put my phone away so fast I nearly dropped it. The woman who stepped through was the kind of beautiful that made you immediately aware of every flaw on your own face. Her badge was saying ‘Anaïs’. Tall, dark hair pulled into something effortlessly perfect, sharp cheekbones. She looked like she belonged on the cover of Vogue. "That's me." I stood and extended my hand. "Nice to meet you. I love your shoes, are those…" "Follow me, please." Anaïs turned on those shoes I wasn't allowed to compliment and walked back through the door. I followed, hand still half-raised, smile dying on my face. She was the assistant to the facility's owner, and she had the interpersonal warmth of a tax audit. She led me to a small office, gestured to a chair, and opened a folder without looking at me once. "I see here you were previously married. Is that correct?" "Correct." I smiled tightly. ‘Best’ decision I never made. I was twenty-one and stupid and in love, and he had a smile that made me forget nobody had ever taken care of me without a price tag. "And your current relationship status?" "And your current relationship status?" "Single. Very, very single. The marriage was annulled, so technically I was never even married. Fun little legal detail." My now ex-husband vanished and left a stack of credit card statements with my name on them. Debts I didn't know existed, signatures I stupidly signed without looking. Now I understood why he'd been in such a rush to walk me down the aisle. Not in the name of love, but because he couldn’t wait to max out credit cards in his wife's name. Anaïs wrote something without looking up. The pen moved in short, precise strokes. Her nails were clean and unpolished, trimmed to exactly the same length. "Your credit history shows some irregularities. Can you explain?" "Student loans. You know how it is." I laughed. Anaïs didn't. Everything about this woman was controlled — posture, breathing, the way she held her face like a mask. Student loans my ass. I've got about four weeks of savings, a mountain of debt, and a disabled brother whose care I help pay for. "Menstrual cycle. Regular or irregular?" I blinked. "Regular, but that's kind of a…" "Clothing size?" "Eight. Sometimes ten if it's European sizing, which, honestly, always feels like a personal attack." "Professional experience?" "Nursing. Two years at Hôpital de Bruyn before I took a break." Before my fiancé convinced me to quit. "I'll take care of us, baby. You deserve better than nightshifts and bedpans." Turns out what he meant was he'd strip away every safety net I had, then vanish. "Do you have family or close contacts on the island? Anyone you speak with regularly?" "My mother, on the mainland. She takes care of my brother Lionel — he's disabled. I call her every few days, send money when I can. Here on the island? No one." Anaïs's pen stopped moving. She looked at me and something shifted across her features. Quick, controlled, barely there. Surprise and something sharper underneath it, almost like satisfaction. Then it vanished, and she was writing again. "Do you have family or close contacts on the island? Anyone you speak with regularly?" "My mother, on the mainland. She takes care of my brother Lionel. I call her every few days, send money when I can. Here on the island? No. Caleb was my whole social life, which, again, is a red flag. I'm seeing all the red flags now." Anaïs closed the folder, excused herself, and returned two minutes later with him. Albert Bernard, the owner of this company, walked into the room. Tall, obscenely handsome, the kind of man whose jaw looked sculpted rather than grown. He shook my hand with both of his and smiled like we were already old friends. "Crystal! Anaïs tells me you're perfect." "She… Really? She didn't seem…" "Wonderful! Tell me about your sex life." I choked on nothing. "My what?" "Your sex life. Active, dormant, somewhere in between?" He leaned back in his chair, completely at ease. "I ask because I want you to be comfortable. Some of the work here is intimate in nature: not sexual, but physical, close-contact, and I need to know your boundaries won't make you a liability." I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. Albert tilted his head like a man watching a fish try to climb a tree. "I'll go first, since you look like you might swallow your own tongue. I'm bisexual, and the last person I was with told me I had the emotional availability of a desk lamp. Your turn." Surprisingly, It worked. Something about his absurd candor cracked the seal. I was still stiff when I found myself talking: "Dormant. Dead, actually. My ex killed any interest I had in men, and honestly, at this point the only physical contact I want is the kind where nobody asks how I'm feeling afterward." Albert listened with his chin on his fist and nodded like everything I said was fascinating. The contract was three pages. I should have read every word. I read the salary line, the housing clause, and the duration — twelve months, renewable — and I signed. Albert clapped his hands together. "Anaïs, transport! We leave now." “H-Hold on, what?” “Why wait? You’re gonna have so much fun there!” Anaïs stood, and as she passed Albert's chair, his hand swung out and slapped her across the ass — casual, proprietary, the sound sharp in the small room. She didn't flinch, didn't react at all. Just kept walking. I stared. My mouth opened, closed. Two attractive adults, I told myself. Clearly a thing between them. Who am I to judge? God knows I wouldn't mind someone who looked like either of them doing that to me. I tried to forget the look on the other candidates' faces when Albert enthusiastically told them to leave because the position was closed. Outside, a black SUV waited with the engine running. Anaïs took the wheel without a word; Albert held the rear door open for me with a little bow that was either gentlemanly or mocking, hard to tell with him. I climbed in, and the leather seats were cool against my thighs. Nobody spoke. Anaïs drove like she'd made this trip a hundred times, eyes fixed ahead, and Albert scrolled through his phone beside me. The drive took us to the island's far eastern edge, where the roads narrowed to dirt and the vegetation thickened until the ocean disappeared behind a wall of green. The facility sat at the end of a gravel path — low concrete, no signage, built like something designed not to be found. Inside, the air was cooler and carried a strange undercurrent, something organic and faintly mineral, like wet stone in a cave. Albert walked ahead, hands clasped behind his back like a tour guide. "Your schedule will be straightforward — feeding rounds three times a day, health checks once in the morning, and the rest of the time is yours to spend with the residents. Think of it as..." I was trying to listen, I really was, but then we passed a corridor junction and I saw the monitor. A security screen mounted high on the wall, showing a dark chamber in grainy night vision. Something massive was moving inside: too many limbs, too fluid, and a thick muscular appendage uncurling against the reinforced glass, ridged suckers pressing flat against the surface. My vision tilted. The corridor stretched and compressed, fluorescent lights bleeding into long white smears. My knees folded, and the last thing I registered before the dark swallowed everything was the cold of the concrete floor against my cheek. ——————————————————— What happens when she stops wanting to leave? 🫣 Read Monstrously Yours Now! 🐙🔥

I signed a 14-page contract without reading the fine print. I should have read the fine print. The listing promised great pay for "working with exotic creatures." What it didn't say was that I wasn't hired to care for the monsters behind those seven doors I was hired to breed with one. On day four they strapped me to a table and the man who hired me pressed a needle to my stomach. "You agreed to all of it when you signed," he smiled. "And I need your womb." They've spent years collecting from every species in this building, preparing for the one part they couldn't manufacture. Me. Every girl before me died, broke, or vanished. The only one trying to keep me alive is the very monster I'm meant to survive. ——————————————————— Chapter 1 — Crystal's POV Position: [not specified].

I was just a single mom trying to survive—raising my twin girls alone, juggling daycare drop-offs and overdue bills 💔. Then I landed my dream job… and came face-to-face with my new boss: Xander Hale, the billionaire CEO who vanished after one unforgettable night five years ago 🔥. The man who never knew I was pregnant. The man who never knew he had daughters. Now I work for him every day, hiding the truth that could destroy everything—my career, my stability, my heart ❤️‍🔥. Because if Xander finds out my twins are his… I don’t know if he’ll save us—or take them from me 💔. Chapter 1 [POV Daphne] The morning started falling apart before I even properly opened my eyes. "Mommy, let’s make pancakes!" Nina's voice pierced through the apartment like a fire alarm. I found her in the kitchen rummaging through drawers. "We don't have time for pancakes today. Today is Mommy's big day with an interview for her new job, remember? I told you about it last night." "I don't care about your job." She stuck out her lower lip. "I want pancakes!" Before I could respond, Lisa appeared in the doorway, her face crumpled with distress. "Mommy, I can't find my purple shoes. I need my purple shoes." "What about your pink ones? The pink ones are pretty." "No!" Lisa's eyes welled with tears. "Only purple. Purple is my lucky color." I glanced at the clock on the near wall. Forty-five minutes until I needed to walk through those office doors. Forty-five minutes to feed two stubborn four-year-olds, get them dressed, drive across the city, and somehow look like a competent professional worthy of being hired. "Okay. Okay, let me find the shoes." I dropped to my knees and peered under the couch. One purple shoe, covered in dust bunnies. I searched the living room, the girls' bedroom, under their beds. Nothing. Nina was now actively flicking oatmeal onto the table with her spoon. I pretended not to see it because I didn't have time for that battle. The bathroom. Why the bathroom? But there it was—the second purple shoe, sitting inexplicably next to the toilet. I was on my knees reaching for it when Lisa's quiet voice stopped me cold. "Mommy, why don't we have a daddy like other kids?" My hand froze on the shoe. The question hung in the air, innocent and devastating—a knife slipped between my ribs with the gentleness only a four-year-old could manage. I turned to find her standing in the doorway, thumb hovering near her mouth, dark eyes wide and earnest. Eyes that looked exactly like someone else's. "What do you mean, baby?" My voice came out steadier than I expected. "Emma at daycare has a daddy. And Sophie." Lisa's lower lip trembled. "But we don't. Did our daddy not want us?" The words hit me like a physical blow. How could I possibly explain that to her? How to explain something I don’t know myself? He probably didn’t want me, because he left too early to even get to know about our girls. I pulled her into my arms, pressing my lips against her dark hair, breathing through the ache in my chest. "Our family is perfect just the way it is," I whispered. "Mommy loves you and Nina enough for a hundred parents. You know that, right?" Lisa nodded against my shoulder, small fingers clutching my shirt. "I know, Mommy." But the question lingered in my chest like a bruise as I helped her into the purple shoes. I heard a crash from the kitchen. My coffee mug. My full coffee mug, knocked over by Nina's flailing arm during her oatmeal protest, now spreading a brown river across the counter and down the front of my carefully chosen white blouse. I stood there for a moment, coffee dripping onto my shoes, and reminded myself that crying wouldn't help. "Mommy, you're messy," Nina observed. "Yes. Thank you, Nina. I noticed." The backup outfit, a slightly wrinkled gray blazer and black pants I'd meant to iron but never got around to, would have to do. I changed in three minutes flat, wrestled both girls into their jackets, and somehow got them buckled into their car seats only twenty minutes behind schedule. "Mommy, why are you driving so fast?" Lisa asked from the backseat. "I'm not driving fast, baby. I'm driving efficiently." "What's efficiently?" "It means Mommy's trying not to lose her mind." I dropped them at daycare with rushed kisses and promises to pick them up right on time. Five years of this—five years of being everything to them, of stretching myself so thin I'd forgotten what it felt like to be whole. But this job could change things. This job meant stability. A real paycheck instead of scraping by on freelance projects that barely covered rent. Health insurance for the girls. A chance to rebuild something of the person I used to be before sleepless nights and endless toddler tantrums hollowed me out. The building made me feel small the moment I stepped inside. Marble floors, mirrored elevators, employees moving with quiet efficiency in their tailored clothes and confident strides. I tugged at my wrinkled blazer and tried to stand taller. Everything about me felt wrong—shabby, out of place, like I'd wandered into someone else's life by mistake. While waiting for HR near the reception desk, I overheard two assistants whispering nearby. "Did you hear? Xander Hale rejected three candidates last week," one said, shaking her head. "Three. All perfectly qualified." The other woman nodded gravely. "He's impossible to please. Remember Sarah? He made her cry on her second day." They exchanged knowing looks, and my stomach tightened. The name meant nothing to me, but their tone painted a picture I didn't like. HR arrived before I could spiral further—a kind-faced woman named Patricia who smiled like she meant it. "Ms. Carter? Right this way. Mr. Hale is expecting you." She led me to the top floor through a corridor lined with large black-and-white photographs. Corporate achievements. Award ceremonies. Men in suits shaking hands, accepting plaques. One image made me freeze mid-step. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought Patricia must have heard it. A man stood at a podium—sharp features, dark hair, an unwavering stare, and a familiar tension in his jaw. I knew that face. I knew it intimately, even though I'd only seen it for one night five years ago. The stranger from the bar. The man who'd made me feel seen and wanted for the first time in my life. Who'd vanished before morning, leaving only a fake name and a phone number that didn't work. Who'd given me Nina and Lisa without ever knowing it. "Ms. Carter?" Patricia glanced back, concern flickering across her face. "Everything alright?" I forced a smile, tearing my eyes away from the photograph. "Fine. Sorry. Just… admiring the décor." I must being ridiculous. Men like him, scruffy, charming strangers in bars, didn't become billionaire CEOs. It was just a resemblance. The world was full of dark-haired men with intense eyes. It didn't mean anything. Right? We reached the corner office. Patricia knocked once, announced my name, and left with an encouraging smile. "Mr. Hale will brief you personally. Good luck." The door clicked shut behind me. A man stood at the window with his back to me, phone pressed to his ear. Tall. Broad shoulders. Expensive suit. "I don't care about the timeline," he said, his voice low and commanding. "Make it happen." That voice. My chest tightened. I knew that voice. I'd heard it whisper my name in a dark hotel room, had felt it rumble against my skin. He ended the call and turned slowly. When our eyes met, time seemed to stop. It was definitely him, no doubts. Older now, sharper, the scruff replaced by clean lines and an aura of power I hadn't seen before. But unmistakably him. The same dark eyes. The same intensity that once made me feel like the only woman in the world. Surprise flickered across his features—a crack in the polished facade, there and gone in the space of a heartbeat. But I caught it. The slight widening of his eyes, the almost imperceptible parting of his lips, the way his body went completely still like a predator who'd just spotted something unexpected in his territory. He stepped forward, and I had to fight the urge to step back. He studied my face with unsettling focus—his gaze tracing my features like he was comparing them to a memory, cataloging every detail. The line of my jaw. The shape of my mouth. The eyes that had looked up at him in a dim hotel room five years ago… "Have we... met before?" he asked. My mouth went dry. But I stood frozen, heart pounding, as the truth crashed over me like a wave. My potential boss was the father of my children.

Her POV: I was just Lyla Monroe—quiet, overlooked, the secretary nobody took seriously. But in reality, I was actually Nova Kingsley 👑, heir to the Kingsley empire and I’m about to be married to the CEO I worked for: Luca Steele 💍 but he doesn’t know I was the secretary who worked for him. Neither of us wanted this marriage, arranged before we were even born, but fate doesn't ask for permission. Now I'm caught between duty, secrets, and the man whose cold stare once pierced through me—but whose touch now sets me on fire 🔥🥵. Chapter 1: Lyla Monroe “What the heck!?” His voice sliced through the room like a whip. I blinked, heat rising to my cheeks as every eye in the conference room swung to me. My hands trembled slightly around the coffee tray, but I held onto it like my life depended on it. Luca Steele stood at the head of the long glass table, tall, lethal, and entirely too composed for a man who’d just been drenched in a splash of boiling cappuccino. Steam still rose from his tailored black suit, but his steel-gray eyes were colder than ice. “You’ve worked for me for two years,” he said, each word slow, deliberate, laced with venom. “And you still manage to be a walking disaster. Fix it. Or quit.” No one dared to breathe. The coffee stain spread across the crisp white papers in front of him, slowly bleeding into confidential numbers and contract drafts worth millions. I scrambled forward, grabbing tissues from the tray, muttering apologies that sounded too small, too broken, too pathetic. “I’m sorry, Mr. Steele—” “Sorry doesn’t clean Armani.” He stepped back, brushing off his sleeve with visible disgust. “And what the hell are you wearing?” I froze. His eyes dragged over me. Every inch. My oversized brown cardigan hung off my shoulders like a borrowed curtain. The faded blouse underneath clung to me awkwardly, a button missing near the collar. The olive-green skirt was too long, too wrinkled, and paired horribly with the scuffed, worn-out flats I’d owned since college. My foundation was two shades too pale. My lipstick was crooked. The jet-black wig I wore hung limply around my face, uncombed and clearly fake. And the massive round sunglasses I wore indoors? That was the final punchline. I was a caricature. And everyone knew it. Chuckles rippled softly across the room. “I’m not running a charity,” Luca said, cutting through the silence. “If you can’t show up looking like a professional, then don’t show up at all.” He didn’t wait for a response. He turned his back and walked toward the screen, launching into a presentation like I hadn’t just been stripped of every ounce of dignity in front of ten high-ranking executives. I stood there, cheeks burning, throat tight. And then I turned and walked out. The moment the bathroom door clicked shut behind me, I collapsed into the farthest stall. My hands gripped the toilet seat as sobs wracked my chest. Quiet, sharp, hopeless sobs. I didn’t even care about the coffee anymore. Or the cardigan. Or the snickers in the room. I was just so… tired. Tired of hiding. Tired of pretending. Tired of working ten times harder just to be invisible. I reached into my purse for tissues and caught my reflection in the mirror through the gap in the stall door. God. I did look awful. The glasses had fogged up from my breath. My mascara was smudged beneath the frames. And the wig—it sat like a lifeless animal on my head, tangled, greasy, and suffocating. I buried my face into my hands, trying to breathe. Then—my phone buzzed. LUCA STEELE. I swallowed hard. I wiped my face with toilet paper, fixed my lipstick with shaking fingers, tucked a strand of wig behind my ear, and inhaled once. Twice. By the time I stepped out of the stall, the tears were gone. The mask was back. I walked through the hallway, the same hallway I walked every day, except now it felt like a spotlight was burning holes in me. Two interns passed by, whispering a little too loudly. “She looks like a blind clown.” “I heard she lives in her car.” “She probably has blackmail on him. No way Steele keeps that thing around otherwise.” I didn’t flinch. I didn’t break stride. I never did. Luca’s office loomed ahead, the frosted glass doors tall and foreboding. I stepped in without knocking. He didn’t look up. His office was cold, like everything else about him—monochrome, sharp lines, minimal furniture. But he was the only part of the room that radiated heat. Not warmth—heat. Intensity. Luca Steele, age twenty-nine, CEO of one of the most ruthless corporate empires in the world. Jet-black tousled hair. Perfectly sculpted jawline. That expensive three-day stubble that looked like it belonged on a magazine cover. And those eyes—ice-colored and emotionless.They’d never softened. Not once. I handed him the corrected reports in silence. He barely acknowledged me. “Get me Victoria Ames on the line. And fix the deck from slide 8 onward. It’s sloppy.” “Yes, Mr. Steele.” I turned, heading for the door. My phone rang. I paused, glanced at the screen. Unknown Number. “Hello?” I whispered. A soft voice crackled on the line. “Hi, this is Carla from the reception desk. There’s… um… there’s a man here to see you.” My stomach tightened. “A man?” I said, confused. “Who?” She hesitated. “He gave his name. Said you’d recognize it.” I waited. “Jonathan Kingsley.” Why did she say she was tired of pretending? And who was Jonathan Kingsley? 🤔 Read Behind the Lies—I Was Always His to find out now! ❤️‍🔥
