View MoreDIANA’S POVI couldn’t believe it. I just said yes to the proposal of a total stranger. What was I thinking when I said yes? He wasted no time, bringing forth a contract, which we both signed—a legal agreement that would bind us indefinitely.I knew I would need money to raise this child without Leonard, and I also wouldn’t want my child to grow up without a father figure. Connor was willing to provide that, also offering to give me a job so I could start something for myself. On his end, he only needed a wife and a child to regain control of his company.We had agreed that our marriage, in two days, would be fully based on the contract terms, and from then on, neither party would expect or request anything else from the other. This clause detailed that there would be no intimacy, forced proximity, or any emotional attachment or sentiments, as it was strictly a transaction between the parties.“Hey, I’m back...” he said, walking back into the hospital room where I was after being out
DIANA’S POVI didn’t waste any time leaving the mansion after ending the call. My life was turning upside down. I had wanted a child throughout my three years of marriage, but I couldn’t conceive. But the doctor just confirmed that I was pregnant—after Leonard divorced me? My heart kept pounding in my chest as I walked down the street.At that moment, I couldn’t even afford a cab anymore. Yes, I was the wife of a billionaire for three years, but I had nothing to my name. When Leonard’s mother began accusing me of being a gold digger who didn’t really love her son, I stopped accepting money and gifts from my husband, all in the name of proving my love for him.“It can’t be... I can’t be pregnant now,” I murmured as I tried to cross the road. A headache instantly seized me as I pictured raising a child all by myself without a father, without money, bringing the child into this world to suffer.“I can’t keep it,” I murmured, the reality of my future dawning on me. I knew I’d have to cons
DIANA'S POVLeonard and I had been dating since college, after I lost my dad, the only family I had left. We got married after graduation, and it’s been three years of marriage. We were happy, even though we hadn’t had a child. Knowing he was going to divorce me for something I had no knowledge of hurt so badly. I couldn’t let him throw away the love we had built for so long.I got dressed quickly and walked out. The stranger had left a while ago, leaving me to face the aftermath of the chaos he had caused. As I dressed, I kept thinking about who could have paid him to stage this, but no name came to mind.The cab ride home was fast. The moment I arrived at the mansion, as I walked up the stairs, I met Mrs. Nelson, Leonard’s mother, standing in the corridor leading to our bedroom.“So, you’re finally back?” she asked, anger flashing in her eyes. She had never liked me. She hated me for many reasons. She resented me for coming from a poor background and, on top of that, for being an or
DIANA’S POVI woke up with a throbbing headache. As my eyes slowly opened and met the ceiling, I realized I wasn't in my room.My heartbeat instantly quickened as I scrambled to sit up on the bed. Shock flashed through me the moment I noticed I was naked."What the..." I could only mutter in shock, quickly covering myself up, wondering where I was and why I was out of clothes.Did my husband, Leonard, make love to me last night? But why was I in a lodge? Confusion gripped me as it dawned on me that Leonard was on a business trip and hadn’t returned yet.This could only mean one thing: I wasn't with Leonard last night but someone else. But how?"Oh my God," I cried into my palms as the realization hit. I still couldn't remember what happened or how I ended up in a lodge, but I knew Leonard couldn't find out about this.I quickly gathered the sheets around myself and hurried to the bathroom. I was supposed to be home before Leonard arrived from his trip today."Alcohol?"Sniffing myself
