“You’re marrying Mike Rowling. There’s no choice.” That’s what my mother said, her words as cold as ever. I never imagined my life would come to this—trapped in a marriage to a man I’ve never wanted. Mike is a bitter, broken billionaire, his heart sealed off after an accident that changed everything. He’s a stranger in his own home, and now, I’m his reluctant wife. But there’s something no one knows, not even Mike: my daughter Mia isn’t just my little girl—she’s his, too. A secret I’ve kept buried for years. As the days pass, I can’t help but feel the pull between us. He’s changing, softening, and my heart begins to betray me. But every smile, every touch, feels like a lie because of the truth I can never tell. Then one night, Mike looks at me with eyes full of questions, and I realize—he knows. Everything is about to unravel. Will the truth destroy us, or will it be the key to our future?

Chapter 1: The Betrayal

“You’ve got this all wrong, Cath,” Alex’s voice rang out, sharp and defensive, as he yanked his arm free of Jemma’s delicate grasp. “It’s not what it looks like.”Cath gazed at the scene before her — Alex, her life partner, standing excessively near Jemma, her sister. Jemma's lips nestled into a sneer, an articulation so weak it might have been confused with responsibility by any individual who didn't have a clue about her.Her throat consumed. "Then, at that point, *what* does it seem to be, Alex? Since from where I'm standing, it looks a ton like selling out."Jemma shifted her head, her long light hair flowing behind her in a rehearsed move. "Cath, dear," she said, her voice trickling with pretended guiltlessness, "you're blowing up. Alex and I were simply — ""Spare me," Cath cut her off, her voice breaking. "I saw enough. You don't get to bend this."The load in the room squeezed against her chest as she ventured back, shaking her head in dismay. How had it worked out like this? ...

Chapter 2: The Ultimatum
"Marry Mike Rowling, or try not to return here."Kaila's voice was like ice, cutting perfectly and sharp across the lounge area. The weak ring of her teacup meeting its saucer reverberated in the harsh quietness, however Cath could gaze."Excuse me?" Her voice sounded unfamiliar to her own ears — calmer, more fragile, similar to how she was caught in a horrible where nobody heard her shout.Kaila didn't actually look into it, her fingers changing the precious stone wristband that got the morning light."You heard me," she said, her tone isolating, as though she were remarking on the climate. "It's a straightforward plan, Cath. You wed Mike, or you're all alone."Cath flickered, her psyche hustling to make up for lost time. "You believe I should wed somebody I scarcely be aware? How could I — " She held back, acknowledgment unfolding like a savage joke."This is about cash, right? Mike Rowling and his organization. That is what's genuinely going on with this."Kaila shifted her head, a

Chapter 3: A Bitter Proposal
"Is this how you usually make decisions? By dragging people into rooms they don’t want to be in?”The man sitting opposite me didn't turn upward. He was too caught up with whirling the bourbon in his glass, his long fingers wrapped firmly around maybe it was the main thing tying him to the occasion."I didn't request this anything else than you," he said at last, his voice low and cut.I gripped my clenched hands under the cleaned oak table, compelling myself to keep my appearance nonpartisan.The pressure all around was choking, thick with implicit feelings of disdain and assumptions.The confidential room in the upscale lodging was faintly lit, the main sound coming from the weak murmur of a crystal fixture above.Mike Rowling was nothing similar to what I'd anticipated. He was sharp-highlighted, his dim hair cleared back with the accuracy of somebody who couldn't stand remaining details.His custom-fitted suit shouted riches and authority, however, his stance was easygoing, practic

Chapter 4: The Wedding of Convenience
“This is the happiest day of your life. Smile, for heaven’s sake.”Kaila's voice ground on my nerves as her nails dove into my arm, directing me toward the plated swinging doors of the setting.Her fragrance, sharp and overwhelming, gripped the air between us. The texture of my white glossy silk dress felt choking, every last trace of it an untruth."I'm marrying a man I scarcely know," I murmured brutally, yanking my arm free. "What precisely is there to grin about?"Kaila's painted-on grin floundered briefly before she recovered. "Insight is everything, dear.No one needs to see a lady of the hour moping. Presently, get in there and make it look acceptable."I breathed in profoundly, steadying myself as the weighty entryways squeaked open. The room fell quiet. Many new faces moved in the direction of me, their appearances going from interest to apathy.Mike remained toward the finish of the path, his stance firm, his demeanor garbled.He was as immaculately dressed as anyone might i

Chapter 5: The Stranger in the Mansion
“This place is too quiet,” I muttered, my voice barely carrying across the cavernous hallway.Mike didn’t bother turning around. He was halfway up the grand staircase, his steps echoing in the emptiness, his posture rigid and unwelcoming.The ornate chandelier overhead cast a cold, sterile glow on the polished marble floors and towering walls lined with art too abstract to appreciate."It's anything but a jungle gym," he answered briefly. "You'll become accustomed to it."I shuddered at his tone, looking as he vanished into the upper floor without even a retrogressive look. The quiet surrounded me once more, weighty and choking.The head servant, a more seasoned man with silver hair and an articulation as indistinguishable as Mike's made a sound as if to speak."Will I show you to your room, Mrs. Rowling?"The title ground on my nerves, yet I gestured, grasping the handle of my bag. "Lead the way."He moved with rehearsed accuracy, his cleaned shoes tapping softly against the floor as

Chapter 006
As I made what seemed like the hundredth adjustment to the hem of her dress, I urged Mia to remember to smile. Unable to believe she was about to go into the opulent world of the Rowlands, she stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection with wide eyes.With wonder in her voice, Mia muttered, "I can't believe this is my life now."I let out a sigh, thinking I could somehow ease her burden. It was unfair. Mia was only a young child, caught up in the mayhem I had voluntarily entered.My hand touched her shoulder. "I understand, but Mia, you're strong. Additionally, you'll leave a lasting impression.Her mouth quivered a little. "I don’t know if I can do this…"I gave her a little, reassuring grin and nodded. "You've completed it already. You simply aren't aware of it yet."I observed that Mia appeared to get taller with each step as we made our way down the grand staircase of the Rowling estate, her posture becoming somewhat more erect. She was undoubtedly anxious, yet a quie

Chapter 007
"How’s the mansion treating you?" As Jemma entered the stately foyer, her flawlessly manicured nails glistening in the gentle light, her voice was brimming with kindness. Her heels clicking on the marble floor served as a reminder of her identity as she walked in without waiting for an invitation. It also caused my stomach to turn."Jemma, what are you doing here?" It was difficult for me to control the hint of annoyance in my voice.She claimed, "I was just in the neighborhood," with a smile that was too radiant to be real. "I wanted to see how you were doing. Observe how you're adapting."Getting settled. The words hurt more than I thought they would. It wasn't as though I had any say in the situation. I didn't live here. It wasn't my intention to be here. My life had been completely upended, and Mike had promised me nothing but an empty marriage and the chilly comfort of his mansion, which is why I was here.I mumbled, "Thanks," keeping my voice barely polite.As she moved deeper i

Chapter 008
"She’s got your eyes."The words hung between us like a dense mist in the air. Eleanor sipped her tea nonchalantly, her fingers carefully caressing the rim of her cup, and I halted, staring at her. I got a chill from the way she said it, as if it were simply another observation."What did you say?" I inquired, sounding much too abrasive and defensive.Eleanor didn't appear to be aware. A tiny, hardly noticeable smile curled her lips as she put down her cup. Her gaze remained fixed on my face, as calm and calculating as ever."Mia," she uttered quietly, as if the name alone had some kind of influence. "She has Mike's eyes, your eyes. The same blue color. It's eerie.My heart pounded loudly in my chest as I tensed up. I was urged by my thinking to seem normal and dismiss her remarks as only another casual remark. However, there was something about her tone and the way she was staring at me that gave me the impression that I was in a trap.My fists clenched around the glass of water befo

Chapter 009
"Is this really how you want things to be?"The tight calm that had descended between us was broken by his voice, which was low, strained, and almost imploring. I stared at the floor and tried to contain the emotions that were about to explode, so I didn't respond immediately away. Unspoken words and the weight of everything we weren't discussing filled the air.With my heart thumping and blood thumping in my ears, I eventually raised my eyes to meet his. Mike stood with his arms folded and his concentrated gaze searching my for something that might explain this mess. However, I had nothing. I was worn out. I was upset. I was also apprehensive. I wouldn't allow him to watch it, though. Not quite yet."How do you want things to be, then?" In an attempt to maintain some sort of control, I snapped, my voice taut. Everything was brewing inside of me, including irritation and fury, and it was simpler to snap than to cope with the tangle of feelings that were brewing beneath the surface.Mi

Chapter 010
"Are you going to eat that?"Mia looked up at me across the dinner table and spoke in a little, almost hesitant voice. She fumbled with the edge of her napkin, her dish half-finished, the food unfinished. I briefly believed that she might be putting me to the test to see how I would react to something as basic as food.I looked back at her after taking a quick look at the piece of chicken that was still on my plate. I answered, "Yeah, I guess so," in a softer tone than I intended.Although she didn't smile, I could detect a gleam of optimism that she might be able to get through to me in her eyes. Feeling the weight of the stillness that had hung over us since supper began, I pushed the final piece into my mouth and reclined in my chair.Mike was remarkably silent tonight, absorbed in his own thoughts and gazing at his plate as if it had the solutions to a puzzle he was unable to solve. Over the past few days, our typical tension had increased, and I wasn't sure if that was due to the
