The Billionaire's Secret Baby

She sold her body to save her mother’s life. She never expected the man she gave it to… would be her new boss. Or the father of her child. Isabella Howells had her future mapped out—until everything shattered in one day. Her mother was dying, her fiancé had stolen everything, and with nowhere left to turn, Isabella made a desperate decision that would haunt her forever. Five years later, she’s a single mother craving a fresh start in a quiet town. When she lands a dream job as executive assistant at StoneTech Solutions, it feels like fate is finally on her side—until she walks into her new boss’s office and comes face to face with Jake Stones, the man she thought she’d never see again. The one-night stand. The man who swore he couldn't have children but was somehow the father of her son, Timothy. Would she be able to do her job without thinking about the past? What happens when Jake Stones is bent on making Isabella his, unaware of his secret baby with her? Will she accept him? What happens when Jake's brother's schemes puts Timothy's life in danger and Isabella is forced to reveal the truth about Timothy's paternity? Will Jake accept this truth? Or will it break him and everything he'd ever come to know about Isabella Howells? Let's find out in this story of love, lies, betrayal, and a second chance that could cost everything. ******Excerpt****** Jake leaned back slowly, eyes narrowing, studying her with new intensity. "Tell me, Miss Howells," he said carefully, "have we met before?" Bella's heart lurched, panic flashing through her veins. Did he recognize her? It couldn't be. If he did, he wouldn't have asked her that. Besides, she had a reason to recognize his face, but him? He didn't have a reason to. She concluded. She forced herself to laugh lightly, shaking her head. "No, sir. I don't think so. I'd certainly remember if we had." Her words came out smoothly, but inside she was crumbling. Of course, I remember you, Jake. How could I not? You're the man who lied. The man who changed the course of her life with just one lie. Jake tilted his head, unconvinced. The denial in her voice didn't match the flicker in her eyes, or the way her hands gripped the edge of the chair just a little too tightly. She recognized him, too but was obviously lying to him. He nodded, deciding not to press further. Not yet. "Strange," he murmured, leaning back in his chair, a faint smile ghosting his lips. "I could've sworn you looked familiar." Bella kept her eyes lowered, pretending to be busy with the folder he slid across the desk. Jake let the silence stretch, his gaze never leaving her. Inside, his thoughts churned. She was lying — he was sure of it. That mole, those eyes, that voice… There was no mistaking her. She could hide behind her polished clothes and calm tone, but he knew. She was the one who had refused his help and had wanted to pay for whatever money he gave her. And if she thought she could walk into his world again and pretend otherwise, she was wrong.

Pregnant in Esper world: Who's the baby daddy?

AN ESPER'S MOAN IS HIS TRUEST CONFESSION. After dying in a world he had been transmigrated into, a young man thought his suffering was finally over. He believed he would wake up back in his original world...Earth where everything was at least familiar. But fate was far crueler. Instead of waking up in his own body, he opened his eyes in yet another strange place, one that was even more dangerous than the last. This was an esper world. And worse still, he hadn't woken up as some hero or powerful awakened being. No. He had transmigrated into the fragile body of a young man who worked as a bar attendant in a shady private club, a place that secretly dealt in human trafficking, where people like him could easily end up as nothing more than entertainment toys for espers if he wasn't careful. As if his life wasn't fucked up enough, Orion soon found out he was PREGNANT!!! In his first life, he had no memories of being pregnant for anyone so… how could he possibly be carrying a child? Who is the baby daddy? In this society, guides were rare and because of this, they were forbidden from becoming pregnant except they're bonded. Yet here Orion was hiding not just one crime, but two. First, concealing his true identity as a guide. Second, carrying a child without ever having been bonded to an esper. Two unforgivable sins. And the punishment for either was death. But then Orion thought death was good not until he found out the secret about the host whose body he is inside, the host who wasn't that innocent afterall. And the baby in his stomach is not tied to only one esper but five powerful espers. Or maybe more.
