"Marry me, Selene," Dominic murmured, his voice dark and smooth like aged whiskey. "And let’s ruin Adrian together." I should have walked away. I should have laughed in his face. "Why me?" I whispered. Dominic’s smirk was predatory. "Because you have nothing left to lose." Betrayed by her husband. Humiliated by her best friend. Left with nothing but heartbreak and rage. When Selene walks in on her husband cheating with the woman she once called her best friend, her world shatters. One reckless night leads her into the arms of a mysterious stranger—only to discover he’s Dominic Lancaster, her ex-husband’s powerful and ruthless older brother. Dominic has his own reasons for seeking revenge against his younger brother, and he makes Selene a bold offer: marry him, give him an heir, and together, they’ll destroy the man who wronged them both. But as the lines between their arrangement and real emotions begin to blur, Selene realizes she may have made a deal with the devil himself. And the biggest secret of all? She’s already carrying his child.

Selene~~The following morning, the city pulsed around me with its usual rhythm, honking taxis, clattering heels on pavement, but none of it seemed to touch me. I stood still, watching my reflection in the mirror of my hotel room.I looked… different.Not drastically. Not enough for someone on the street to stop and stare, but enough for me to feel it in my bones. My blouse was crisp white, tucked into charcoal-gray slacks that hugged my hips in a way that screamed ambition. My hair was pinned into a soft chignon, my makeup minimal, save for the confident stroke of eyeliner that made my dark eyes look sharper than they’d ever felt.“Today is not about him, Selene,” I murmured to my reflection. “Today is about me, focus.”I reached for my bag, hesitating only a second when I glanced at my phone. No messages, no missed calls. The silence was both a relief and an ache.I walked out of my room, the cab I already booked waiting.The ride to City Heart's campus was uneventful.The driver wa

Selene~ I sat on the edge of the bed in a hotel I had arrived moments later, staring at my phone. The ten million dollars still stared back at me, bold black numbers that felt obscene. I’d left the mansion, left my daughter, left Dominic… but I couldn’t seem to leave this feeling behind. Was it guilt? Grief? Or just the cruel ache of separation? I didn’t know anymore. I wiped at my face quickly. I hadn’t even realized I was crying. I looked around the room, all beige walls and sterile furniture. Clean. Empty. Impersonal. Which was perfect. I didn’t want anything reminding me of what I’d just walked away from. Not the way Dominic’s voice had cracked when he asked if I was sure. Not the feel of Ariana’s soft curls beneath my chin when I held her for the last time this morning. And definitely not the way my heart had twisted when Dominic said it was never fake for him. I got up and walked over to the mirror, the hotel slippers slapping softly against the tiled floor.

1 year later. Selene~ I stood in the middle of the master bedroom, staring at the open suitcase on the bed. Every dress, every blouse, every pair of heels I folded into it felt heavier than it should have. It wasn’t just fabric. It was time. A year’s worth of memories, arguments, silent dinners, lingering touches we both pretended meant nothing, and midnight cries I hid in the pillow when no one was watching. The contract was over and I was free. So why did I feel like I was about to break my own heart? I zipped the suitcase shut, the sound of it slicing through the silence like a knife. I grabbed my coat, took one last look at the room that had truly felt like mine, and walked out. The floors of Dominic’s mansion echoed with my every step as I descended the staircase, half-expecting him not to be here, he was always off in a meeting, handling some empire-shaking crisis, or flying to God-knows-where for a board vote.But today? Today, he was waiting. He came down the stairs sl

Selene~ I stared at him, my mind refusing to process everything all at once. Dominic’s expression remained unreadable, as if he had just proposed a business deal rather than something that would alter the course of my entire life. I let out a shaky laugh, disbelief creeping into my voice. "You must be out of your mind." Dominic didn’t flinch. "On the contrary, Selene. I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life." I shook my head, stepping back, needing distance. "Why? Why would you even suggest something like this?" Dominic exhaled slowly, as if he had expected my reaction. His fingers grazed the rim of his whiskey glass before he set it down on the bar with a soft clink. "I need an heir." I blinked. "And?" His sharp gaze locked onto mine. "My father has a legacy—a multi-billion-dollar empire that he intended for me to inherit. But there’s a catch. The board of directors refuses to recognize me as the rightful successor unless I prove I have a stable future.

Selene~ A text came in at sunset again from the same number. Dominic: You might want to wear something stunning. A car will pick you up at eight. I stared at the message, my fingers gripping the phone tighter than necessary. This was insane. Why had I agreed to this? Why had I accepted an invitation from a man I barely knew—one whose name I hadn’t even learned until this morning when the hotel concierge where I lodged mentioned it? Dominic. A powerful name. A commanding presence. A man whose touch had erased my pain for one reckless night. But that was all it was supposed to be—one night. And yet, here I was, standing in front of my vanity mirror, slipping into a dress I hadn’t worn since before my marriage crumbled. The deep red silk hugged my curves like a second skin, the thigh-high slit scandalous enough to turn heads. For once, I wanted to be seen. Not pitied. Not broken. I inhaled sharply, pushing down the nerves. Who was Dominic? And why had he sought me o

Selene The first thing I noticed was the silence. No honking cars. No voices. Just the soft rustle of linen against my skin and the faint hum of the air conditioning. The second thing was the headache. A sharp, pulsing pain at my temples, the kind that screamed of too much alcohol and too many regrets. I groaned, forcing my heavy eyelids open. The room was bright, the morning light spilling through sheer curtains that fluttered slightly from the central air. Then, realization slammed into me like a freight train. This wasn’t my bedroom. My breath caught in my throat. I shot up, clutching the silk sheets to my chest. The room was stunning modern, sleek, and insanely expensive. A penthouse suite. I turned my head and found the other side of the bed empty. For a moment, I sat there, heart pounding, trying to put the pieces together. Last night. At the bar. The whiskey. The man with the intense eyes and the quiet confidence. Oh, God. I had slept with a stranger.

Selene's POV I looked up. The man beside me was devastatingly handsome. Dark hair, intense brown eyes, an expensive suit that screamed power. He radiated confidence, the kind that made people either fear you or fall for you. “You look like you need something stronger, but I wouldn't advice a pretty lady takes much.” His eyes that held me still. Dark. Intense. Like he saw straight through me. I swallowed. “Yeah but I don’t usually drink.” His gaze flicked to my untouched glass. “That obvious” He paused and then spoke out “Let me guess,” he murmured. “A man?” I exhaled. “How do you know?” He smirked. “Because no lady drinks alone like this unless they’re trying to forget someone.” I studied him. “And you? What are you trying to forget?” His expression didn’t change. “I don’t forget.” A shiver ran down my spine at his words. I turned back to my drink, swallowing another sip. The alcohol burned, but it wasn’t enough to erase the ache inside me. "What's your name

Selene's POV I wanted tonight to be special. A soft smile played on my lips as I lit the last candle in the dining. The aroma of roasted meat and creamy mashed potatoes filled the air, mixing with the subtle fragrance of the deep red roses I had picked out just for him. Adrian had been so distant lately. Always working late, always coming home exhausted, barely sparing me a glance. But tonight was supposed to remind him of us—of what we had built together, of the love we had promised each other five years ago. I smoothed my hands over the black lace dress hugging my figure, excitement bubbling in my chest. He’s going to love this. The clock on the wall read 8:47 PM. He was late. Again. My stomach twisted, but I forced myself to stay positive. He’s probably just caught up at work. I picked up my phone, dialing his number. It rang once. Twice. Then went straight to voicemail. A frown tugged at my lips. I tried again. Same thing. A strange feeling crawled up my spine,
