After a devastating betrayal by her fiancé, Ethan, she impulsively accepts a marriage proposal from a powerful stranger, Alexander Reid. What begins as a vengeful arrangement quickly turns into a dangerous game of attraction, power, and secrets. As their contract nears its end, both Sophia and Alexander must decide if they would continue playing games, or will they embrace the unexpected love that’s grown between them?

Chapter 1

"You Gold digging low life! Are you still sleeping at this time of day?" Mrs Carter's voice boomed in my ears as she whipped off the little blanket that barely covered my body.Sitting up in a sleepy mood, I rubbed my eyes with my palm before opening them to take in her furious face, the wrinkled arch on her forehead very visible. "Good morning, Mother." I greeted politely disregarding her initial insult"I am not your mother, you silly girl. Will you not go to work? Or are you waiting for my Son to provide for your lazy ass?" she asked folding her arms beneath her breasts"I won't be going to work today; tomorrow's Valentine's Day ma Ethan and I have plans," I said letting a small smile creep up my face at the thought of spending tomorrow with the love of my life, but the thought was cut short by a croaked laughter "You think my son will spend his hard-earned money on you all for Valentine's Day? You must be delusional" I smiled and then said, "Mother, is there something you would ...

Chapter 2
"How did I not see the warning signs?" I yelled as soon as the elevator closed."I gave him three years of devotion, left the comforts of my father's mansion just to stay with him, hoping he'd see me for who I am, but all along he just saw me as a burden!" my vision blurred with unshed tears. My heart pounds in my chest, a mixture of anger, betrayal, and humiliation boiling inside me.I don’t know where I’m going, only that I need to escape before I completely break down.Immediately, the elevator came to a halt and opened up; I took to my heels again. Then, suddenly, I slam into someone.A firm and solid force.Before I could fall back, I felt large hands catch my arms, steadying me before I could stumble backward. A sharp scent of expensive cologne fills my senses, and when I look up, I find myself staring into cool, unreadable gray eyes.The man before me was tall and intimidating. His tailored suit hugged perfectly to his powerful frame. His face is a masterpiece of sharp lines a

Chapter 3
I had wanted to leave my thing here and move on, but a small part of me wanted to hear what he had to say for himself.The house I once thought was home stood before me, its walls holding memories I wished I could forget. The driveway was the same, the porch light flickering like it always did, but everything felt different... colder, emptier.Alexander's Porsche came to a smooth stop, the bare hum of the engine fading into the quiet street. I gripped the hem of my dress, my fingers twisting the fabric as if holding on to something real... something that wouldn’t betray me.“You don’t have to do this,” Alexander’s voice cut through the silence, calm and unreadable.I turned to look at him. His hands rested casually on the wheel, his sharp features unreadable in the dim glow of the streetlights. He didn’t seem like the kind of man who concerned himself with other people’s affairs. So why did he care now?“Yes, I do,” I said, forcing my voice to stay steady.He didn’t argue, just nodded

Chapter 4
My ride back home was intensely quiet, the only sound steady in the background was the low hum of the car engine. The city lights flickered past the tinted windows, but I barely noticed them. My mind was occupied, fixated on the woman I had just agreed to marry.Sophia Thomas.She wasn’t what I had expected.Most women would have been flustered, overwhelmed, and maybe even grateful. But she? She had been composed... too composed. Something was unsettling about how easily she accepted everything, how little resistance she gave. It didn’t sit right with me.I thought she had made the proposal as a bid for revenge and she would come to her senses and call it off later on, but she stuck it out, up until my proposalI let out a slow breath, turning my gaze toward Marcus, my driver and longtime friend. “Marcus, What do you think of her?”Marcus glanced at me through the rearview mirror, arching a brow. “Who? Sophia?”“Who else?”He shrugged, a small smirk playing on his lips. “I think she's

Chapter 5
The mirror didn’t lie.I stared at my reflection, watching as the woman I once was disappeared before my eyes. The emerald dress clung to me, a perfect fit, accentuating every curve with an elegance that demanded attention. A masterpiece of silk and temptation, whispering promises of power and vengeance.My fingers trembled slightly as I fastened the pearl necklace around my throat, but I steadied myself. There was no room for weakness tonight.Tonight, I was two people.Sophia Reid, Alexander Reid’s poised, devoted wife.Sophia Lancaster, the heiress to the Lancaster Group of CompaniesA knock at the door pulled me back to reality. Uncle Bruce stepped in, his expression tight with concern.“The second outfit is ready,” he murmured. “It’s in the locked restroom stall, just as planned.”I exhaled slowly. “Good.”His hesitation was brief but noticeable. “Are you sure about this, Sophia?”There it was again, that flicker of doubt. It was always there, lingering in his eyes every time I s

“Sophia, are you okay?” Alex kept knocking on the door.My breaths came in raspy as I tried not to puke on my expensive attire.“Sophia!” he called out again. But this time, he had hit the bathroom door harder.At first, I felt a bit dizzy, but then I finally got a bit of stability.I had let Ethan’s behavior get to me over the past few days. Even when I tried so hard not to think about it, his thoughts still came to mind. Sometimes I find myself wanting to tear up, but I know that I deserve better.Sending him out tonight wasn’t something I planned on doing, but I couldn’t help it. The fact that they felt so pompous about it wasn’t something I felt satisfied with. Ethan hasn’t seemed to learn his lesson yet. Right now, I have no idea what exactly is happening to me. I fanned myself with my bare hands, staring at the mirror fixed to the wall.“Sophia, daddy’s here.” My father’s voice resounded from the other side.Just as I heard his voice, I knew I had to speak. My dad wasn’t the so

Chapter 7
I couldn’t help but do some research about the woman who had proposed marriage to me herself. I’ve never seen any woman as confident as she was. Every woman I’ve ever come across was either after my money or my looks. This was one of the reasons I never showed up for most of the blind dates my grandmother had set me up with. But when my grandmother heard of Sophia Lancaster, she became obsessed with her.“You need to marry her.” “What if she isn’t who you think she is?” I’ve always asked her. “What if this Sophia doesn’t like me?” “Give her a chance?” My grandmother will always say.“We don’t even know what she looks like,” I had always replied. This was the truth because Sophia Lancaster had never shown herself to the public. I’ve only seen her father at private events, but not his daughter.She doesn’t even have a picture on the internet, except when she was a little girl. That’s all the internet has of her.“Marcus, have you gotten anything about her yet?” I asked while I got

Chapter 8
I had woken up to a little pinch on my left hand. Happens that the nurse was still administering some injections. My visions were at first blurry as I could see the doctor faintly. I just prayed and hoped it wasn't what I was thinking. I can't be pregnant. “Doctor, what's wrong with me?” The doctor signaled the nurse to take away the trays leaving just the both of us in the ward. I looked through the blinds and I could see Alex and my father were in the waiting room. “Congratulations,” the doctor stretched forth his hand with a smile. I clenched my fist, praying to God that it shouldn't be what I was thinking about. “You are two weeks pregnant,” he finally dropped the bombshell. I blinked multiple times before asking the doctor to repeat what he had said. “You can't be serious?” I gasped in shock. Placing my hand on my belly, I looked into the doctor's eyes. Maybe they did the wrong test. I can't be pregnant for that bastard. Not even now when I'm here to take my revenge o

Chapter 9
All through the journey, I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful she was. I wanted to touch her, but I couldn’t. She seemed so troubled and distant. This wasn’t the lady who slipped a ring into my finger a few days ago. What exactly could be on her mind.I was about to speak when she suddenly interrupted me. According to tradition, it was normal for me to allow her first. “Let’s break up,” she proposed, her eyes solemnly shifting away from mine. I smiled a bit, telling myself it must be a joke, and she couldn’t have been serious about it. Luckily, I knew her father; if not, I’d have agreed that the Lancasters are like that.“You can’t be serious right now? Wait a minute,” I held her up, signaling Marcus and the driver to leave.Just as they left, I turned towards Sophia, trying to understand what she meant by breaking up with me. “Do you mean you don’t want to stay at my place tonight? I could easily ask my guards to–”“No. I mean the real breakup. This,” she pointed to both of u

Chapter 10
My heart raced faster, my eyes avoiding him in the darkness that engraved the whole place. The only thing that had lit the whole place were lamps and some lited underground bulbs.The whole place looks beautiful, and could be compared more to a garden. I mean, there were lots of beautiful flowers around, unlike my home or my father’s house, which were only filled with fountains. Alexander’s place was a mixture of gardens and fountains. But that is not the major issue here. I’m pregnant, and I can’t even come out to say it to him.I really wish I could. But it will not only affect me, but also my father’s reputation. Upon getting inside, I couldn’t help but marvel at how beautiful the room was, not to mention the chandeliers, the beautiful carpets, and the walls I’d been seeing even before stepping into my room.The room was fit for a princess. I was still admiring the room when a call came in. It was no one else than Ariel. My best friend since childhood. We’ve always been in touch
