Romance
I had believed the man I married loved me.After giving birth to our son through an emergency C-section, I returned home expecting tenderness, a wedding date, and the happy family Edward had promised me. Instead, he treated me like an inconvenience. Then I overheard the conversation that shattered everything.The woman who had lived under our roof as Edward’s mother was not his mother at all.She was Celine—the woman he truly wanted to marry.Worse, Edward had never intended to make me his wife. Our private marriage was a carefully designed lie, complete with a fake lawyer and a hidden surrogacy arrangement. They had wanted me to carry their baby, keep funding their lifestyle as the family’s breadwinner, and disappear once I had served my purpose.They had mistaken my love for stupidity.Then Edward’s billionaire rival came into my life.Elliot Dylan.His half-brother. His greatest enemy. The ruthless CEO taking control of the empire Edward desperately wanted.When Elliot offered me a multimillion-dollar business deal, I saw more than money. I saw my doorway to revenge.But Elliot refused to become my fake husband.Or so I thought.Because when danger suddenly came for me and my baby, Elliot was the one who crossed cities to protect us. For the first time, I saw the man behind the billionaire’s cold exterior and my carefully built walls began to crack.Then I discovered the attack might have been only the beginning.His next words left me frozen.“Luna, if this marriage is only an act for you, tell me now… because I don't think I can pretend anymore.”And suddenly, the revenge I had carefully planned was no longer the only thing I stood to lose.
