I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 1

"Ms. Quinn, I hear I slept with you?"

Sitting in a black leather executive chair, the man was clad in a dark, tailored suit. His long legs were casually crossed, and he didn't even bother to look up as he spoke, his fingers nonchalantly adjusting his cufflinks.

His voice was deep and icy, carrying a suffocating wave of pressure despite his careless tone.

Standing across from the desk, Sienna Quinn discreetly pressed her legs closer together.

Even if she couldn't see his expression.

The freezing temperature in the room was enough of a warning.

This man was angry.

And not just mildly annoyed.

All because of the wild claim she had made down in the lobby.

—Your CEO and I have a child together.

She had actually been quite nervous before coming up here, but she hadn't expected Jorrod Vaughn to look so... breathtaking in person.

His features were sharply defined, a pair of wire-rimmed glasses resting on his straight nose, and the curve of his jawline was absolutely flawless.

Right now, as Sienna stared at his hands adjusting the cufflinks, she found herself momentarily captivated by his long, elegant fingers, pale and beautifully proportioned like a painting.

Jorrod was already radiating hostility, and her hesitation only poured fuel on the fire.

He lifted his gaze, the faint, superficial smirk vanishing from his lips completely. "Explain."

The single word dropped like an anvil.

Sienna jolted, swallowing hard.

The rumors were true; Jorrod Vaughn was not someone to be trifled with.

But her boyfriend had stolen her design draft and sold it to Stellaris Corp. If she hadn't resorted to this drastic tactic, she would have never gotten past his miles-long waiting list to meet the CEO before her designs were mass-produced and sold everywhere.

However, having made such an outrageous claim, Sienna naturally had an escape route planned.

She offered a polite smile. "What do you mean, Mr. Vaughn? My exact words were, we have a mutual child..."

Before she could finish, Jorrod scoffed coldly. "Is there a difference?"
