Rose is the sweet and kind-hearted secretary to the cold, calculative and unbelievably hot CEO, Alec. She finds herself naked, covered with only his shirt, lying in his bed after a drunken night at a corporate party.  
She is enraged and blames him for taking advantage of her but Alec swears up and down that they hadn’t spent the night together. He doesn’t tell her the full story, to protect her from further embarrassment. She relents and ends up believing him. So, she was dumbfounded when she found out a couple weeks later that she is pregnant!  
Alec is surprised but equally happy when he finds out that Rose is pregnant with his child, the heir to the Xander Business Empire. The only issue? Rose believes that since they had never shared a bed, her ex-boyfriend must be the father instead. Her ex, the CEO of a failing rival company, shows up in hopes of ensnaring Rose back to him.  
How will the over-protective and over-possessive Alec react to some other man rubbing his hands all over the secret to-be mother of his child? Will he be able to tell his secret to Rose and still have a relationship left to enjoy?

The CEO's mystery heir

　　Sarah comes home to find Rose yawning while staring at the tv screen with a dazed look on her face. Realizing she is half asleep, Sarah gently taps her on the shoulder and tells her to take a nap in the bedroom. Eric had texted he would take another hour before he gets home with the food so she knew they both had time.


　　Letting out another big yawn, Rose lazily walks to her room and goes off to sleep.  Sarah also puts on some soft music in her room and goes to take a shower. Midway through the shower, she hears her doorbell ring, followed by the ringing of her cellphone. Cursing out loud in the shower, quickly wrapping herself in a towel she goes to check the door. Checking through the keyhole, she sees Eric laden with bags in his hands.


　　Taking a deep breath she opens the door, keeping her body hidden behind it. Pointing Eric towards the kitchen, she rushes to her room to get dressed.


　　Seeing her run around the house like a scared little cat Eric laughs out loud.
