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

　　Rose once again finds herself in the same forest but this time she is perched on top of a tree. She sees an angelic toddler, covered from head to toe in a cute onesie, running from one tree to the next, as if trying to look for someone. Just as he reaches the tree she was sitting on, she sees him raising his arms up in the air, as if asking to be picked up.


　　Quickly getting down the tree Rose picks him up in her arms and his happy giggles ring out. As he nuzzles his head in her neck, Rose feels immense happiness spread through her entire being. Wanting to soothe him, she runs her hand over his head which seems to greatly please him. Suddenly his cap slips off his head revealing shiny raven black hair covering his scalp. Surprised to see this, Rose immediately looks into his eyes and she finds the familiar mesmerizing grey eyes staring at her.
