At twenty-two, Danielle Hartford struggled to manage the matrimonial firm she inherited from her mother. A surprise email from Vincent Cromwell requesting her agency for their services seemed like the blessing she needed. However, when the seventy-two-year-old Cromwell demanded a bride for himself, Danielle was disappointed. She had expected it to be for his drooling hot grandson, Knox Zachary Cromwell, the one she nurtured a crush on. Knox tried everything in his power to stop his grandfather from getting married to produce an heir. When nothing worked, he proposed a deal to Danielle to give him a male heir in return for a huge amount of money. Her love for him, her need to save her business, made her give in. However, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Soon, Vincent Cromwell married against his grandson's wishes. Thinking it was an underhanded ploy, Knox destroyed Danielle’s business. Danielle left the city forever with her daughter, handing him his male heir. Would Knox ever realize what he had done?

Prologue - The Email

Danielle Hartford stared at the email she just received in disbelief. Why would the famous billionaire Vincent Cromwell, proprietor and retired CEO of the Cromwell Reckitt Group of Companies send her an email? What could he need from a next-to-nothing matrimonial agency like hers? Surely, at seventy-two, he wouldn’t need their services to find him a bride! Maybe he wanted a bride for his grandson, the hottest man on earth, Knox Zachary Cromwell. How could she forget her first and only crush? Excitement coursed through her veins. Well, there was only one way to find out!Still, in a daze, she clicked on the email to go through its contents. Just then, her business partner and friend, Loretta Knightley, rushed in through the door of their one-roomed office. “Did you check the mail? Vincent Cromwell wants a bride! Oh, my gosh! I don’t believe this! We’ll be famous! We’ll finally be rich!” she gushed, clasping her hands together and going into her dreamland. Danielle’s jaws dropped wit

Chapter One - The Cold Encounter

Danielle blinked with disbelief, not having expected to see Knox here. The last time she had checked his social media account, he was well-settled in Denmark. When did he return from Denmark? Her life had changed drastically in the last eight years, and now Knox wasn’t her priority any longer. Life has been tough on her and her tinted visions of love have taken a backseat. Anyway, Knox was way beyond her league and she had realized it the hard way at a very tender age! “Are you kidding me, woman? How the f*ck can you be Daniel Hartford?” he barked, his face flushed with fury. Danielle’s heart shattered, realizing he hadn’t recognized her at all. His harsh words brought her out of her reverie, and she focused on the hard, ruthless man in front of her. “I am Danielle from Happy Matchmakers. I’m here to meet Vincent Cromwell.” Although her instincts prompted her to run, she squared her shoulders to face him bravely. However, her announcement had the opposite effect on him, and he scof

Chapter Two – A Shocking Proposal

“Why did you have to leave without seeing Vincent Cromwell? He’s the client, not his grandson,” scolded Loretta after taking an update from her. Danielle couldn’t tell her about her exact state of seeing Knox after so many years. It would take her some time, but she would definitely overcome her inhibitions. “No need to get so worked up. Vincent Cromwell called to announce that he would come down here for a discussion.” Loretta’s eyes widened, and she stopped complaining for a change. “When?” “Whenever he’s free, I guess.”They waited patiently all day, but Vincent Cromwell did not call, nor did he come down for a discussion as promised. Both friends were terribly disappointed as now Happy Matchmakers did not have a single client! Their only client, Robert Franklin, finally settled down with the woman Loretta chose for him and cleared their dues. “It’s just not happening, Lori. We have to think outside the box. We have to provide more services for today’s busy professionals, not

Chapter Three – An Impossible Dilemma

Danielle couldn’t concentrate on anything else for the rest of the day. Knox Cromwell’s strange proposition was all she could think of. It was true she needed the money, but was she ready to take the plunge? Was she ready to bear a child when she was struggling to save her business? Could she do justice to both? Of course, she knew the answer to all those questions, but Knox Cromwell hardly gave her a choice. The consequences she would face for declining his proposition were devastating. It would ruin her completely. What confused her was why he chose her to bear his heir? It was obvious he nurtured a low opinion of her. She was way below his league, too. Then why was he forcing her when he could choose someone experienced? Why was he paying her so much when he could get a surrogate mother for much less? “Hey, girl! What’s got you so worked up?” asked Loretta, walking into the office. Danielle looked up to focus her attention on her friend. For the last few hours, she had been so w

Chapter Four – What Did She Agree To?

Danielle didn’t waste a single minute in speculation. She dashed inside the building, straight to her apartment before her stalker could get to her. She wasn’t in the frame of mind to face anyone now.Once inside, she heaved a sigh of relief. Until the next morning, she was safe in the sanctity of her home. She could contemplate her next move later, before Knox Cromwell’s visit. The sight of her neatly furnished, cozy home soothed her jumpy nerves, and she headed for a shower. With no plans for tonight, she could retire early and rest her stressed mind. The moment she stepped out of the shower, her phone buzzed with an incoming call from Loretta. Danielle groaned with dread, knowing what this was all about. It definitely would be another of granny Emma’s loud get-togethers with her weird buddies! She hated those awkward parties where she and Loretta would be the only young people present. Therefore, they would overburden the duo with work! After five attempts, Loretta stopped, and

Chapter Five – The Angry Arrogant Jerk!

Danielle’s heart constricted with panic upon realizing his intentions. Was Loretta right in her assumptions? Would he sleep with her now until she conceived his heir? Her face paled considerably, and she beat upon his back. “Put me down right away, Mr. Cromwell. This wasn’t what I had agreed to.”He marched into the elevator, paying no heed to her protests. Thankfully, there wasn’t anyone around to witness the melodrama. “Mr. Cromwell, you’re taking advantage of your power.” Her thrashing didn’t have any effect on him.“I will do as I please. Don’t forget you’ve signed a contract with me.” He strode out of the elevator with her on his shoulder, straight to his car parked at the side.“You forced me to sign it.” “I gave you time to read it.” Danielle glared at the arrogant man’s hot ass, wondering what she saw in him exactly. He was the most dominating creature alive! “Yes, only five minutes to read a ten-page legal scroll that contained only one point repeatedly. I shouldn’t have

Chapter Six - The Real Knox Cromwell

The scene in front of Danielle shocked her more than Knox Cromwell’s words did. How could Loretta backstab her when she clearly instructed her to back off? As partner at Happy Matchmakers, she couldn’t take such rash decisions on her own without consulting her! It would affect the goodwill of their company. Didn’t she know that? There was a pin-dropped silence the moment Knox Cromwell entered the place. His grandfather, however, didn’t at all look inconvenienced by his sudden arrival. There was a challenging sparkle in his eyes as he glanced at his grandson and Danielle. What was going on? “Well! Well! What a pleasant surprise seeing you here, my grandson! I want you to meet my date, Catherine Shelby. She is special,” said his grandfather. His eyes twinkled as he looked at the woman he chose for himself. “You’re coming home with me, grandpa. I have something important to discuss with you.” Danielle noticed how Knox clenched his teeth without acknowledging Catherine Shelby’s presenc

Chapter Seven - Calm Before The Storm?

After thirty minutes, when Danielle emerged from the en-suite, Knox had left the room. She had purposely taken her time to avoid another confrontation with him. What was the use? He wouldn’t ever change his opinion of her. She rushed to lock the door and leaned against it with relief. Would he leave her at peace tonight? Or would he want to get the deed done to throw her out as soon as possible? A tremor went down her spine as she took out her clothes. She wasn’t ready for anything tonight. All she wanted to do was sleep, but her stomach grumbled for food, and she glanced at the door helplessly. If only she had grabbed something before leaving home! What was the use of thinking about it now? It didn’t look like she would get any dinner here. Putting on a pair of sweatpants and a pale pink top, she tied her hair up in a bun. It would be impossible to sleep on an empty stomach, but she had no other option tonight. Just as she lay down on the bed, a knock on the door alerted her. Who

Chapter Eight – Was He Back Already?

The next morning Danielle arrived at her office to find Loretta sitting at her desk, looking pale and quiet, with dark circles under her eyes. It immediately alerted her, since it was a rare feat indeed. “Hey, girl! What’s up? What’s got you so worked up?” She sat down at her desk to gear up for the day. Despite their efforts, they still couldn’t fix a woman for their client, Dominic Huxley! With only a day to go, they were in a fix. Was that the reason Loretta looked so distressed? “Huxley wants me to warm his bed since we can’t produce a woman for him!” Danielle’s jaws dropped to the floor, and she gave her friend an agitated look. “What? Is he out of his mind?” “I just walked out on him, Dani!” She covered her face with her hands, totally disturbed by the sudden change of events. “You did the right thing. We’re not here to sell our bodies! We have given him ten options to choose from. Is it our fault if he has dismissed them all?” Loretta’s hands dropped in defeat by her side

Chapter Nine – Facing Him

“Mind your fucking business, Cromwell!” gritted out Mr. Huxley, his attention now focused on Knox. Seeing her opportunity, Danielle snatched her hand out of his hold. Did these two know one another? Of course! Both were arrogant jerks! They deserved each other’s company. “This is my business. Danielle belongs to me. Ask her if you’re in doubt!” Mr. Huxley turned to glare at her. “I don’t fucking care! You should learn to keep your commitments. I’ll finish your little business, Ms. Hartford!” Before she could think of a fitting reply, Knox Cromwell grabbed her wrist and pulled her away with him. “See you in court, Huxley!” Danielle’s eyes widened at the implication. Was he challenging the Trillionaire to sue Happy Matchmakers? This was getting way out of her hand and it was all because of Loretta! Why did she have to disappear, leaving her to face the music? Dominic Huxley muttered curses at him, but Knox didn’t seem to care. Once they were out of sight, Danielle struggled to free
