Three years ago, Hazel Vance made a choice that changed everything. One night of passion with a mysterious stranger at a masquerade ball left her with more than just memories—it left her with a son whose rare violet-blue eyes are a constant reminder of the father she'll never find.

Now a struggling single mother, Hazel desperately needs the executive assistant position at Sterling Group. The salary could finally give her two-year-old Leo the life he deserves. But her new boss, CEO Liam Sterling, is nothing like she expected.

Demanding, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome, Liam has a reputation for being impossible to work for. Most assistants don't last a week. When Hazel refuses to be intimidated by his cold demeanor and sharp tongue, something shifts between them. The attraction is immediate and electric, crackling through every professional interaction.

But it's his eyes that stop her cold. The same striking violet-blue shade that stares back at her every morning when she looks at her son.

As the tension between them builds and the lines between professional and personal begin to blur, Hazel finds herself caught between her desperate need for this job and her growing attraction to the one man who could destroy everything she's worked for.

She doesn't know that Liam has been searching for the mysterious woman from the masquerade ball ever since that night changed him forever. And he has no idea that the composed, fiery assistant who challenges him at every turn is the same woman who haunts his dreams.

When the truth finally comes to light, will it bring them together or tear apart the fragile new life Hazel has built for herself and her son?

Chapter 139 - Hidden Pregnancy and Growing Suspicions


The weekend stretched endlessly before me like a battlefield I had to cross alone. My mind felt fractured, thoughts scattered in every direction as I tried to make sense of what was happening to my body and my life.


Sunday afternoon, I gathered my closest friends at my apartment. The weight of my secret pressed against my chest as I looked at their expectant faces. When I finally told them about the pregnancy, chaos erupted in the best possible way. Chl, Scarlett, and the others immediately launched into a heated debate about who would earn the coveted title of godmother.


"I'm already Leo's godmother, so I'm obviously out," Chl announced with mock disappointment, which only intensified the competition among the others.


"Scarlett, I need you to promise me something," I said, my voice more serious than I intended. "Don't tell Levi yet. I want to handle that conversation myself when I'm ready."
