Cassian St. Clair, a businessman and the sole heir to a corporate empire, finds himself at an unexpected crossroads when his father announces that he can only assume control of the company when he finds an heir to carry on the family lineage. Pressured by time and the desire to meet the patriarch's expectations, Cassian embarks on an unconventional quest. It is in this moment of desperation that he encounters Emeraude, a young woman struggling to survive in a ruthless city. Unemployed and on the brink of eviction from her modest apartment, Emeraude seems to be the solution to Cassian's problems. He sees her as the perfect candidate to be the mother of his future child, the heir he so desperately needs. An unexpected proposal is made, and Emeraude is faced with a difficult choice: accept Cassian's offered pact to secure a financially stable future or forge her own uncertain path. As they embark on this unusual journey together, complicated feelings begin to surface, and what started as a convenience agreement becomes an intricate game of emotions.

Prologue

The elevator opened, and Cassian hurriedly walked towards Mr. St. Clair's office. He passed by the secretary without saying a word and placed his hand on the doorknob, opening it promptly. Cassian cleared his throat as he closed the door. His father looked up and gestured with his head towards the chair in front of him. Cassian walked over to the comfortable chair and sat down, gazing at the man in the suit before him."I believe you received my message," he said, stacking the papers on top of each other."I came as soon as I read it," Cassian replied, leaning back in the chair, getting comfortable."We need to talk, Cassian," he said, looking at him seriously. Had he discovered his son's libertine lifestyle?"You can speak," Cassian said, looking at him with curiosity."Son, I'm getting on in years, and it won't be long before I retire, leaving you to take my place in the company," Cassian nodded, already aware of this. "However, I have some concerns. You're 29 years old and haven't

Chapter 1

Emeraude arrived at the entrance of the building where she lived, and the doorman handed her a piece of mail. She headed towards the elevator, pressed the button, and waited for the doors to open. She took the opportunity to open the mail. As soon as the doors opened, she entered and pressed the button for the sixth floor. She took the paper out of the small white envelope and began to read."Hello Emeraude, I'm writing to inform you that I haven't received the rent payment for this month, and it's been over three weeks since the due date. I regret to inform you that I've already rented the apartment to someone else. Within two weeks, I hope you've found another place to stay. I'm sorry, but we've discussed rent delays before. Mrs. Finn."Emeraude opened the door to her home and placed the letter in her hand on the table. Great! She was unemployed, doing odd jobs that barely paid anything, and now she was facing eviction. Could things get any worse? She put her bag on the couch and he

Chapter 2

Emeraude found herself following Cassian St. Clair to his car after they left the café. The way he was dressed indicated that he was an important person. The journey to their chosen destination passed in silence. Cassian St. Clair didn't cast a single glance her way, but Emeraude discreetly tried to observe him.Finally, they arrived at a luxury building located in an upscale area of the city, a place Emeraude was not accustomed to visiting. Besides being expensive, she didn't know anyone who lived there. They got out of the car, and Cassian led her to the elevator. When the doors opened, he pressed the button for the top floor.However, as soon as the elevator doors opened again, Cassian's phone started ringing. He answered the call as he walked toward his apartment door, and Emeraude followed him."Yes," he said into the phone, letting out a discreet laugh. Then he opened the apartment door, gesturing for Emeraude to enter. She did so. "Is that all?" he asked, waiting for a response

Chapter 3

Emeraude woke up to the sun's rays caressing her face, slowly opened her eyes, and quickly shut them due to the intensity of the light. Damn! She had forgotten to close the curtain again. With a sigh, she grabbed her phone and checked the time: it was already nine-thirty, almost ten in the morning.She got up, heading to the bathroom still feeling sleepy. She took a quick shower and went through her morning hygiene routine. Emeraude stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and headed to the closet, where she picked out a pair of shorts and a tank top. After putting on her underwear, she chose the selected outfit. With her phone in hand, she headed to the kitchen, deciding to bake some cheese bread and prepare fresh orange juice.Upon returning to the living room, Emeraude flopped onto the sofa. She was still groggy and aware that she needed to find a new apartment. She planned to stop by Cassian St. Clair's company to collect her payment and then start her search for a new home.

Chapter 4

A week had passed since Emeraude had begun hiding from Cassian. Throughout these days, she had weighed the pros and cons of accepting or rejecting his proposal. The idea that he might have found another woman constantly occupied her mind, and she had even gone so far as to change her phone number. A week ago, she should have gone to Cassian's office to give her answer, a simple yes or no, which seemed like an easy decision.Completing the task of putting on her sandals, Emeraude left her house. The good news was that Cassian hadn't shown up at her door or sent any messages. A taxi was already waiting at the building's entrance, and she got in, showing the address to the driver, who promptly set off. As she watched her reflection in the car's mirror, Emeraude took a deep breath, knowing that the time for decision had arrived.It didn't take long for the taxi to stop in front of the company. Emeraude paid the driver and got out of the car. She headed to the elevator, still remembering t

Chapter 5

The cell phone began to ring, and Emeraude turned to the other side, returning to sleep. It continued ringing until she finally turned it off. Just when she thought she would have some peace, the doorbell started ringing desperately. She sighed, got up, and went to answer the door, almost tripping over her own shoes. As soon as she opened the door, she froze."Good morning," Cassian said, his eyes lingering on her legs. Emeraude glanced at her attire and blushed, realizing she was still in her not-so-discreet pajamas. She quickly hid behind the door, causing him to chuckle softly."What are you doing here?" she asked."I told you I'd swing by at 9 a.m. to pick you up. I tried calling, but someone turned off their phone," he said, entering without an invitation, a bit impolite. Emeraude suddenly remembered the exams they were supposed to take today and closed the door."I completely forgot, I'm sorry. Let me get ready; I'll be back in a moment. If you want, you can go ahead, and I'll m

Chapter 6

As soon as Cassian left Emeraude at her house, he headed to work. Thaddeus called him, informing him about an issue with one of the contracts and scheduling an immediate meeting.While the phone rang, Cassian's desire was to continue holding Emeraude in his arms, ignoring the call. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that. Next time, he thought, he would turn off his phone and use the excuse of having a dead battery. He was still excited by the moans Emeraude had let out while they were kissing.He parked the car in front of the company, as he didn't intend to linger in the meeting and planned to return to continue what he had started with Emeraude. Getting out of the car, he activated the alarm and entered the building, passing by the security guards until he reached the elevator. With a gesture, he prevented the doors from closing."Mr. St. Clair," greeted Chloe, holding some folders as she approached."Chloe," replied Cassian, pressing the button for his office floor. "I tried calling Mr

Chapter 7

Cassian couldn't deny that the night with Emeraude had been amazing. The night before, he had passed out as soon as he entered the room, overcome by exhaustion. The next morning, Cassian woke up early and prepared to go to work. Before leaving, he bought two plane tickets to Ireland. He went to the office and informed Chloe that he would be absent for four days. Then, he went to his office and started reviewing some documents when the phone rang."Cassian St. Clair," he answered."Mr. St. Clair, Miss Emeraude is on line 2," said Chloe, and Cassian rolled his eyes."Transfer the call," he requested, and she did as he ordered. "Yes, Emeraude.""I wanted to know what time you want me to buy your ticket," she said from the other end of the line."I've already bought it. We're leaving at 5:00 PM," he replied, leaning back in his chair."Oh, got it," she said, her voice sounding strange. "Um, Cassian? I didn't want to ask you this now, but I would like to buy some things..."He chuckled wea

Chapter 8

After Emeraude's mother showed signs of fatigue, the decision to leave was made. Initially, Alice hesitated, but the grandmother soon managed to persuade the little one to join them. Everyone headed to the car, and Emeraude noticed Cassian leaning against her vehicle, chatting animatedly with a blonde. She couldn't help but think, "Men can be so insensitive at times." She got into her mother's car, closing the door with a bit more force than necessary. Her mother looked at her, and she just shook her head.The journey back was quick and peaceful. Upon arrival, Emeraude got out of the car and took the little one in her arms for her mother. The child promptly rested her head on Emeraude's shoulder, visibly exhausted after spending so much time in the water."Daughter, could you give her a bath, please?" the mother asked, and Emeraude nodded."Mom, I'm not sleeping here tonight. You can put her to bed in my room," Emeraude said as they walked to the front door of the house."Where are yo

Chapter 9

Emeraude and Cassian remained silent, unsure of what to say to her father. It was exactly what Emeraude wanted to avoid, and that's why she didn't want Cassian to accompany her."Dad," she finally spoke, and he looked at her, expecting a response. "Happy birthday!" Emeraude threw herself into his arms, and he hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much.""Missed you too, my daughter," he replied affectionately. "Let's go inside, Cassian. After all, we have a lot to talk about.""Of course, Sir," Cassian said. Her father kissed her on the forehead and went ahead. Once he entered the house, Emeraude turned to Cassian, anger evident on her face."You idiot!" she whispered loudly, punching his chest. "You weren't supposed to open your mouth and talk nonsense! Do you realize how traditional my father is? You messed us up!""At some point, you would have to tell, Emeraude," Cassian replied, holding her wrists. "If you haven't noticed, we're having a child. That will be a real challenge to exp
