The Billionaire's Second Chance..
Romance Ivy Carter expected her birthday to be a memorable one, and it was but not in a good way. It was in a way she never expected it to be.
Standing at 5'4" with a warm smile that hid her inner battles, Ivy had always believed in the kindness of people, especially her boyfriend, Nathan Harper. However, on what supposed to be her day, Ivy's reality shattered when Nathan proposed to her best friend in front of all their loved ones and family.
Shocked, humiliated, and feeling betrayed, Ivy left the celebration with a destination in mind, wandering into the cold night.
The storm outside matched the one raging within her. She stumbled into a luxurious club she couldn't afford, drowning her sorrow in drink after drink. As the night descended into chaos, Ivy attracted the attention of Alexander Steele, a self made billionaire with piercing blue eyes and a reputation for being ruthless.
Alexander wasn't at the club for enjoyment; he was there to escape the pain of losing his wife, a hurt that wealth couldn't mend. What started as a mere conversation between two shattered souls unfolded into a night of passion neither had expected or could remember clearly.
Months later, Ivy is confronted with the consequences of that night: an unexpected pregnancy. Alone, jobless, and desperate for money to care for her son, Ivy takes a housekeeping job in the mansion of none other than Alexander Steele.
At first, they couldn't recognise each other, but the tension between them is immediate, Alexander, hardened by sorrow and mistrust, treats Ivy harshly, unwilling to let anyone breach the walls he's built around his heart. Ivy, despite her weakness, stands firm, determined to do what is right by her child even amidst his harshness.
As Ivy's infant son begins to grow, Alexander starts to notice something unsettling: the boy's features bears a striking resemblance to his own. Jokes from the neighborhood about the child striking resemblance, being his son only increased his doubts, but his pride and emotional barriers prevented him from pursuing the truth.
Meanwhile, Ivy navigates life in the mansion, coping not only with Alexander's mood shifts but also with the scheming of Margaret Steele, the sister of Alexander's late wife, who sees Ivy as a threat to the Steele legacy.
Just when Ivy thinks things couldn't get worse, Alexander's health begins to deteriorate. Diagnosed with a life-threatening kidney condition, he has mere weeks to find a donor. In desperation, Alexander's son and his team launch a public appeal, searching for anyone willing to save him.
Unbeknownst to Alexander, Ivy discovers she is a perfect match. Despite how he has treated her, Ivy decides to endanger her life to save his.
Her generosity shocks Alexander, compelling him to face the bitterness and frustration that have consumed him since his wife's death. As he heals, Alexander starts to view Ivy not as an outsider but as someone who could aid in his recovery.
Yet, their delicate bond is challenged when Margaret's plans intensify, and Nathan returns, threatening to reveal Ivy's history and claim custody of her son. In the midst of the chaos, Alexander takes control, ordering a DNA test that verifies his deepening suspicions: Ivy's son is his.
Overwhelmed by guilt, Alexander realizes how much he has hurt the woman who offered him a second chance to live.
But can Ivy forgive the man who has caused her so much pain ?
As threats emerge and truths come to light, Ivy and Alexander must choose whether to confront the future as a family or allow the wounds of the past to separate them forever.
Will Alexander achieve redemption, and can Ivy allow herself to love again?
Will they be able to protect the innocent child who has brought them together against all the challenges?

"Take off your dress, Meadow."
"Why?"
"Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "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.
