Isla Carter never imagined that one reckless night would change her life forever. Strong-willed yet innocent, she crosses paths with Killian Blackwood, a ruthless billionaire CEO known for his cold heart and devastating charm. After a heated night of passion, Isla discovers she’s pregnant—only to be met with an unexpected proposition. Killian offers her a marriage of convenience, a cold-hearted arrangement to protect his reputation while he secretly maintains his engagement to another woman. Isla, trapped by circumstance, agrees—but soon realizes she’s nothing more than a pawn in Killian’s twisted game of power and deception. Despite his cruelty, Killian finds himself drawn to Isla’s fire, but just as their tangled emotions begin to unravel, a shocking betrayal shatters everything—his fiancée is none other than Isla’s stepsister, the woman who has tormented her for years. Heartbroken and betrayed, Isla walks away, determined to reclaim her life, but Killian isn’t ready to let her go. Now, he must make a choice: the empire he has built or the woman who has stolen his heart. Will their love rise from the ashes of betrayal, or will it crumble under the weight of shattered vows?

Chapter 1: A Night of Reckless Decisions

The Blackwood Estate stood as a towering symbol of wealth and influence, its grandeur casting an imposing shadow over the city skyline. It was a place where only the most elite gathered, a haven for billionaires, politicians, and socialites who measured power in whispers and sealed deals with a clink of crystal glasses. Tonight, the estate was alive with music and laughter, the grand ballroom a spectacle of shimmering lights, flowing champagne, and breathtakingly expensive gowns.Isla Carter adjusted the strap of her deep emerald dress, her fingers grazing the soft silk as she scanned the crowd with barely concealed unease. She was out of place here, surrounded by women who wore their privilege like a second skin and men who had the world at their feet. She hadn’t wanted to come, but her best friend, Elena, had insisted, dragging her into a night she was already regretting.“You look like you’re about to make a run for it,” Elena teased, nudging Isla’s arm as they stood near the bar....

Chapter 2: A Reckless Mistake
The night was supposed to end the moment Isla stepped off the dance floor, but fate had other plans. Her pulse was still erratic from Killian Blackwood’s touch, his cryptic words echoing in her mind. She should have walked away, left the gala without a second glance—but the fire in her veins wouldn’t let her.Instead, she found herself storming into the dimly lit study at the far end of the Blackwood Estate, away from the prying eyes of high society. The heavy mahogany doors shut behind her with a quiet click, enclosing her in the lion’s den.Killian stood by the bar, pouring himself a drink, his broad shoulders at ease as if he had anticipated this confrontation. He didn’t turn immediately, but Isla knew he sensed her presence.“You just walk away after that?” Isla’s voice was sharper than intended, laced with an emotion she refused to name.Killian finally glanced at her over his shoulder, his dark eyes amused. “Would you have preferred I stayed and entertained your questions in fro

Chapter 3: A Cold Goodbye
The sun had fully risen by the time Isla gathered the courage to leave Killian’s suite. Even in her expensive gown, she felt exposed, vulnerable. The hallway was empty as she slipped through, her heart pounding with the weight of her regret. Every step away from that room felt like a thousand miles, but it still wasn’t far enough.By the time she made it to the lobby, her phone buzzed.**Bestie:** Where are you? I saw you leave with HIM. Tell me you didn’t.Isla’s fingers trembled over the screen. How could she explain what had happened? How could she admit to the reckless mistake that now clawed at her insides?Before she could respond, a hotel concierge approached her with a polite but distant smile. "Miss Carter, Mr. Blackwood requested that a car be prepared for you. It’s waiting outside."Isla stiffened. “Excuse me?”The man’s expression didn’t waver. "Mr. Blackwood had an early departure and left instructions to ensure you had a comfortable way home."Early departure.The words

Chapter 4: A Shocking Realization
The morning air was crisp as Isla sat curled up on her couch, staring blankly at the steaming cup of tea in her hands. The TV was on, the news anchor droning about stock market shifts and business takeovers, but the words barely registered. Her mind was elsewhere—trapped in an endless loop of anxiety and confusion.Her period was late. She had been trying to ignore it for days, blaming stress, exhaustion, anything but the most obvious possibility. But as she counted the weeks in her head for the hundredth time, dread tightened around her chest like a steel vice. Elena, who had been bustling in the kitchen, walked in with two plates of toast and eggs. She eyed Isla’s expression and immediately frowned. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” she said, setting the plates down. “What’s going on?”Isla hesitated, biting her lip so hard she nearly drew blood. Elena knew her too well. There was no hiding this. “I think I might be pregnant,” Isla finally whispered.Elena blinked. Then blink

Chapter 5: A Call Ignored
The city skyline stretched beyond Isla’s apartment window, twinkling with lights that seemed indifferent to her turmoil. The pregnancy test lay discarded on her nightstand, but the truth it revealed haunted her every waking moment. She needed to talk to him. Killian Blackwood might have vanished after that night, but he couldn’t ignore this forever. Heart pounding, Isla grabbed her phone and scrolled to his contact once more. The screen glowed in the dim room, his name taunting her. She hesitated only a second before pressing ‘call.’The phone rang. Once. Twice. Three times.Straight to voicemail.A lump formed in her throat. She ended the call and tried again. This time, the call didn’t even ring—it went directly to voicemail.He had blocked her.The realization hit like a punch to the gut. Her breath came out in shallow bursts, fingers tightening around the device. Anger, frustration, hurt—all of it swirled inside her, an uncontrollable storm. Elena, who had been sitting cross-

Chapter 6: A Proposal Without Love
The days following her humiliating encounter with Killian Blackwood were filled with a suffocating silence. Isla tried to move on, tried to focus on her work, but the weight of his dismissal clung to her like a curse. She spent her nights tossing and turning, replaying their last conversation over and over again in her mind. Then, the summons came.It was abrupt—a call from an unknown number, followed by a sleek black car arriving at her apartment doorstep. The driver, a man with a stony expression, handed her a single piece of paper: *Killian Blackwood requests your presence. No refusals.*She wanted to ignore it. She should have. But something inside her burned with the need to confront him, to demand answers for his cruel indifference. The frustration, the pain, the anger—all of it surged within her, and before she could rationalize, she was getting into the car.And so, she went.---The Blackwood estate loomed ahead like a fortress, its grand entrance flanked by towering iron ga

Chapter 7: No Way Out
The contract sat on Isla’s small dining table, an unrelenting presence, its crisp white pages mocking her with every passing second. She had left Killian’s estate in a haze, the weight of his ultimatum pressing down on her like a vice. For two days, she had locked herself in her apartment, refusing to answer calls, avoiding the world. But no amount of isolation could make the reality disappear. She was running out of time.Her finances were in shambles. Rent was overdue, her savings had dwindled, and the looming medical expenses of her pregnancy felt like a boulder hanging over her head. The job she once loved, her independence—all of it seemed to slip further from her grasp with each passing moment. Killian had backed her into a corner, and she hated him for it.A sharp knock on the door jolted her out of her thoughts. She hesitated before standing, smoothing out the wrinkles in her worn-out sweatshirt. When she opened the door, her best friend, Elena, stood there, eyes scanning

Chapter 8: A Hollow Vow
The ceremony was nothing like Isla had imagined a wedding should be. There were no flowers, no music, no guests to celebrate the union. It was held in a private office at city hall, the cold walls and lifeless decor mirroring the emptiness in her heart.Killian Blackwood stood beside her, his tailored suit immaculate, his expression unreadable. He had barely looked at her since she arrived, as if this was nothing more than a routine business deal. And to him, it was.The officiant cleared his throat, glancing between them. "Do you, Killian Blackwood, take Isla Carter to be your lawfully wedded wife?"Killian didn't hesitate. "I do."His voice was steady, devoid of emotion. He could have been agreeing to a contract merger for all the warmth he showed.Isla's chest tightened as the officiant turned to her. "And do you, Isla Carter, take Killian Blackwood to be your lawfully wedded husband?"She swallowed hard, her fingers trembling at her sides. Every fiber of her being screamed at her

Chapter 9: The Other Woman
Isla had barely settled into her cold, lifeless new reality before fate threw another cruel twist her way.The morning after her sham of a wedding, she forced herself out of bed, determined to regain some semblance of control over her life. She wasn’t going to spend her days cowering in the east wing while Killian acted like she didn’t exist. Dressed in a simple yet elegant dress—something befitting a woman of the Blackwood name—she descended the grand staircase, her heels clicking against the marble. She was making her way toward the dining hall when she heard voices in the lounge.A woman’s voice. Sultry. Confident. Familiar.Her heart froze in her chest.No. It couldn’t be.But as she stepped closer, the sight before her stole the breath from her lungs. Celeste. Her stepsister sat comfortably on one of the velvet chairs, her legs crossed as she sipped from a crystal glass. Her golden-blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders in perfect waves, her designer outfit impeccable. But it

Chapter 10: A Brewing Storm

Every encounter between Isla and Celeste felt like stepping onto a battlefield, and yet, the one person who should have intervened—the man who had dragged her into this hellish marriage—remained as indifferent as ever.Killian Blackwood carried on with his life as if nothing had changed. He barely acknowledged Isla’s presence, except when necessary. Meanwhile, Celeste had made it her mission to remind Isla at every possible turn that she was nothing more than an inconvenient placeholder in a world she did not belong to.The dining hall was no exception.One morning, Isla found herself seated at the long, gleaming table across from Celeste, who had invited herself to breakfast as if she owned the place.
