Denunciar
Andrea had nothing else in the world except for her daughter. Literally, nothing else. Betrayed and abandoned by her husband, her life was a daily struggle to survive and earn money to feed her baby. However, everything changes when she meets the owner of the company where she works. Zack Keller was the kind of man who could only be described as a hurricane, arriving hot and wild and sweeping everything in his path. At thirty-two, he was a magnate in the sports industry, owning one of the largest representation agencies in America. Yet, his perfect world came crashing down after discovering on the same day that his girlfriend was pregnant and had purposely lost their baby. Unfortunately, Zack had already shared the good news with his sick father, so it was something he couldn't take back. When he must return to the Swiss Alps to spend Christmas with his family, his life becomes a desperate race against time to find a "fake" family. "Urgent Notice: Magnate Rents Family for Christmas." What Zack doesn't imagine is that he will find help in a woman going through the hardest time of her life and still refusing to give up on her little baby. A Christmas journey. A wounded man. A distrustful woman. A five-month-old princess. How long can you fake love before it starts to become real?

CHAPTER 364. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. Zoom in
CHAPTER 364. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. Zoom inHis arrival in Lucerne was stealthy, and within a few hours, he was already wrapped up in something quite illegal—something someone in his position definitely shouldn’t be involved in. But when she asked, he couldn’t resist.The smallest thing he had to do was break into an apartment, so he knelt before the door handle, pulled out a set of lockpicks, and managed to open the door in less than fifteen seconds."Ouch! I’ll keep that in mind never to cuff you," Chiara winked at him as they entered the apartment, and his heart skipped a beat. "I’ll go for zip ties instead."Jhon grinned crookedly, but as soon as he saw her guard drop, he leaned over her back, rubbing all of himself against all of her."I thought you gave the card back when I gave it to you," he murmured into her ear."I did… but I already had one," Chiara replied."You swiped a card from me without me noticing?" Jhon was surprised.She pouted in a way that made him feel like an i
CHAPTER 363. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. I’m in love now
CHAPTER 363. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. I’m in love nowJhon had had many women in his life. He didn’t leave his heart in every port, but he certainly made his rounds at each one.However, when Chiara Keller stepped off the plane with elegance, she still looked like a queen, and he felt like the knight in shining armor who had jumped into the crocodile pit to ensure she made it safely to the other side. He leaned against the door of the plane, breathing heavily, with his tie askew, his hair disheveled, and his cheeks flushed because they had been squeezed between those two legs until infinity and beyond.So, he had to admit it: that woman knew what she wanted and exactly how she wanted it!It wasn’t long before his team gave him the information he needed to find Chiara’s brother. Without a word, they headed to the parking lot and soon found a car waiting for them.Luckily, finding people wasn’t a problem for Jhon, so a few hours later, they were back with Zack, flying toward Lucerne. Zack

CHAPTER 362. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. Now, get to work… Jhon“Well, if you’re that desperate, I’ll let you crawl up my leg on the plane, but for now, you’re coming with me, and you’re going to put all those resources to work finding my brother,” she replied with determination.Jhon looked her straight in the eye. “Your brother?”“Zack Keller. I understand he was of great help to you a few days ago. Now we have a family emergency, and I need to find him in Nigeria, so I assumed you’d be more than willing to help me.”Jhon squinted with suspicion. That woman seemed far too certain of herself.“And why exactly are you so sure I’ll help you?” he asked, stepping so close to her that if anyone had doubted her pregnancy claim before, now, seeing the way they looked at each other, no one could doubt they had something very intimate.“Because I know you let Mason Lee die on purpose,” Chiara replied.Jhon glanced around to make sure no one had overheard, then grabbed her arm and dragged her to th
CHAPTER 361. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. PREFACE.
CHAPTER 361. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. PREFACE.Chiara Keller was never an angel; she was a queen. As one of the CEOs of Switzerland's largest bank, she had more character and cunning than many of the men she knew, and none of her relationships ever got serious. Maybe that’s why meeting the CIA’s Director of Organized Crime was so unforgettable. Jhon Hopkins was a man who didn’t beat around the bush, a natural fighter who viewed life as a constant battle to be won. In that way, they were far too similar, and for what was a magical moment, the spell endured.But eventually, they had to get out of bed.What will happen when their jobs and lives collide head-on?What’s the worst that could happen when the CEO of a bank in a tax haven falls in love with the man in charge of hunting down all her clients?Betrayal, lies, heartbreak, mistakes that can't be forgiven—because in the end, love is not stronger than the bars of the queen's cage.---A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. PREFACE.Chiara was desperat
CHAPTER 360. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Happy Endings. Uncertain Beginnings
CHAPTER 360. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Happy Endings. Uncertain BeginningsEveryone knew. Now, absolutely everyone knew what was happening between them, but Noémi seemed very content with that. Life was gradually becoming less complicated. The family kept gathering, and just two days before Peter’s first birthday, Levi presented her with that document.They were in the middle of a romantic dinner when he handed her the adoption agreement for her to officially take Peter as her son.Noémi looked at him in astonishment, and Levi panicked, of course he panicked, because up until that moment, he thought this was what she wanted.“I… I’m sorry, I thought this is what you wanted,” he murmured, taking the document back. “But maybe we shouldn’t rush things, right?”Noémi reached out her hand to stop him and pulled her purse closer, taking out an identical document she had prepared herself.“I was going to ask you the exact same thing,” she said, and they both laughed, realizing how in sync they truly
CHAPTER 359. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Ten Years in Sin
CHAPTER 359. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Ten Years in SinFalling onto the rug was the easy part; resisting the pull of sleep was the hard part. But Levi had made that proposal seriously and wasn’t about to give up.“Marry me, Noe, please marry me. I promise I’ll make sure you never regret choosing me,” he said, propping himself up on one elbow and caressing her face.Noémi took a deep breath as she stared at the beams on the ceiling.“Not now, Boss. Ask me in ten years,” she said with a soft smile, and Levi slipped the ring onto her finger, not caring that it wasn’t the best diamond in the world.“That works for me if it means I’ll spend the next ten years with you,” he assured her, kissing her lips. “What’s a decade of living in sin? Besides, married men don’t go to hell—we’ve already served our time here…”“Hey!”Levi burst out laughing and hugged her, kissing her until sleep finally claimed them. He knew difficult times lay ahead, but they had, in their strange way, found their perfect way o
CHAPTER 358. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Unspeakable things
CHAPTER 358. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Unspeakable thingsNoémi punched Levi hard on the arm, shocked by his declaration.“What did you just say?!” Her eyes locked with his, and she saw the sincerity in his gaze. “You must have a death wish, right? After everything that's happened, after you left me...! Do you think I’m going to forgive you that easily?!”Levi pressed his lips together.“No, I know it won’t be easy, but I don’t want to lose you, and you don’t want me to lose you, or else you would’ve left the moment we came down from that mountain, storm, avalanche, or erupting volcano be damned. Do you think I don’t believe you’re capable of it?” He looked at her with a mix of admiration and certainty. “I love you, Noémi... And I want to marry you…”“I can’t do this, Levi,” she responded desperately. “After everything that happened, how can you even think we should try again...?”“Of course, we should!” he exclaimed, stepping closer and grabbing her by the shoulders. “Noe, things that mess up
CHAPTER 357. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Forever
CHAPTER 357. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Forever“But miss, you’re not eating,” Isak protested.“Of course, she’s eating… now say ‘Aaaaa.’” Before Noémi could protest, Levi put a forkful of pasta in her mouth, and she blushed but ate.Noémi came from a large family, so she was used to the chaos, but she was impressed by how good Levi was with the boys, especially when he and Peter had been so alone until then.The boys treated the baby like a little brother, and they saw Levi as a respected coach and a pseudo-strict father. But the truth was, harmony reigned in that mansion.After dinner, they shared chocolate ice cream, and the boys began talking about the tragedies of their new prep school in Switzerland. By the end of the night, Noémi realized her schedule for the next week was already packed.“Take them shopping for elegant clothes for the winter dance.”“Chaperone at the movies.”“Give them a tour of the company because they won’t be skiing forever.”“Get a chiropractor.”“Buy them tickets
CHAPTER 356. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Who called us?
CHAPTER 356. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Who called us?It was a bold challenge, but the problem was that Noémi had nothing to back it up with, and Levi knew it. He knew her better than he had realized, and that warm bed, along with all the accumulated exhaustion, interrupted her feminist pride speech within a minute and a half. By the two-minute mark, she was already snoring.He tucked her in under the blankets and sat on the edge of the bed, watching her sleep. Outside, the storm was just beginning, so it would still be many hours before she could leave. He let her sleep and went to calm Larsen and the boys, who were in the library celebrating life.The first whiskey brought him back to life, and by the third, he was feeling bold. But really, he was just happy that Noémi was safe.He picked up Peter to bring him along and grabbed just the clothes that he knew Noémi liked. The afternoon passed quickly, and since she didn’t seem to have any intention of waking up for dinner, he did what he did b
