Shania thought she had it all—her husband Adrian, her home, her future. But that illusion shattered the day her twin sister, Stephanie, appeared on her doorstep, cradling a baby that looked unmistakably like Adrian. The triumphant glint in Stephanie’s eyes delivered the truth: betrayal. Two facts now defined Shania’s life: 1) Her husband, whom she gave up everything for, had slept with her sister. 2) She became pregnant by a stranger after a drunken night, just 240 days after Adrian struck her. Enter Stefan—an enigmatic billionaire with his own dark past. He needed a woman whose name began with 'S' to carry his child. Unbeknownst to Shania, Stefan had been orchestrating her life from the shadows, drawn to her for reasons she could never have imagined. And now, a baby is involved, divorce papers are moving from one home to the lawyer, and a fresh new contract marriage is being drafted. Will Stefan reveal his secrets before it’s too late? And can Shania find the strength to confront her past and embrace the unexpected bond forming between them?

“I’m not signing those papers, Shania.”Adrian's voice came through the phone with a crackling sound, each word filled with defiance. I held onto the gadget firmly, sensing a combination of irritation and rage coursing through me. I thought he would oppose, but hearing him say the words infuriated me. I snapped while pacing around the kitchen, “You no longer have control over this. It’s over, Adrian. You’ve already done enough damage.”A bitter laugh echoed from his side of the line. “You think I’m going to let you walk away that easily? After everything?”I tightened my jaw, trying to remain composed, but the shaking in my hands betrayed my true emotions. “I don't need approval. The divorce is going to happen, regardless of your opinion.”A significant silence could be heard from the opposite side. When he ultimately talked, his attitude had changed to be severe and unfriendly. “You don’t get to decide that. You were mine first, Shania, and I’m not letting you run off with some rand

"Do you have any idea what you're doing?" I trembled as I asked myself while gazing at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. The face I saw reflected back at me appeared unfamiliar. My complexion was pallid, my eyes showing signs of fatigue. The world was falling apart, and I couldn't find a stable foothold. I felt overwhelmed by Adrian, Stefan, and the burden of the secrets and pain I was carrying. I threw cold water on my face to try to clear my mind, but couldn't shake the images of Adrian's smirk and Stefan's intense stare. I needed clarity—desperately.The baby.I looked down at my belly, the smallest hint of a bump now visible under my shirt. The baby wasn’t just a vague concept anymore. It was real. Life was growing inside of me—Stefan’s child.“How did everything become so complex so quickly?”A mere two months ago, I was still holding onto the remnants of my marriage, hoping that Adrian and I could somehow fix our relationship. I was so naive. Currently, as divorce document

"You have a lot of audacity coming here." The hallway echoed with Adrian's chilling and sharp voice, sending a shiver down my back. I suddenly stopped, my hand freezing on the doorknob to my apartment. Adrian was the person I most wanted to avoid out of all the people. I hadn't seen him in days since we had a fight at home and I found out about his affair with Stephanie. However, he suddenly showed up in the corridor of my apartment, casually standing by the wall. He looked like the man I had previously admired - tall, with perfectly groomed dark hair, and sporting the identical cocky smile that I once found charming. Now it only makes my skin crawl."I can’t recall inviting you, Adrian," I stated with contempt, trying to keep my voice composed. "What brings you here?" He casually drifted from the wall and strolled over to me, his hands casually tucked in his pockets, as if we were long-lost friends reuniting. As he approached, my anger intensified. I felt outraged by his audacity

“Mrs. Hayes, Mr. Barrett will see you now.”The assistant’s voice jarred me from my thoughts. I stood, wiping my damp palms against my skirt. This entire situation felt surreal. A billionaire stranger requesting to meet with me to discuss something as bizarre as a contract marriage?For weeks, my life had been chaotic, but this was taking it to a whole new level. I accompanied the assistant into the modern office, feeling awed by its glass walls and impressive cityscape view. At the far end of the room sat Stefan Barrett. The man himself. He stood with his back to me, looking out over the skyline while on the phone, projecting an aura of power and confidence that was overwhelming. My breath was caught when he eventually turned to look at me. There was something… familiar. His sharp jawline, the piercing green eyes that seemed to strip away all pretense. But I couldn’t place it. Why did I feel like I’d seen him before?“Mrs. Hayes,” he said, his voice smooth and commanding. “Please,

“Adrian isn’t the only one who’s been keeping secrets”Stephanie's words cut through me like a dagger, each one piercing and deliberate. She stood on my doorstep, holding a baby with bright blue eyes - eyes that clearly belonged to Adrian. I felt my stomach tighten as I gazed at her, at the existence she cradled in her arms. Is this actually happening? I tried to talk, but no words escaped my lips. The betrayal weighed heavily on the words, trapping them. Stephanie's lips were adorned with a victorious smirk that made me feel like screaming. However, I remained motionless, feeling a combination of anger and shock running through me. Stephanie continued, her voice filled with satisfaction, describing the expression on his face when she revealed she was pregnant. "He didn't think twice about picking me instead of you." The world whirled around me, my thoughts lagging behind as I tried to grasp the meaning of her words. How long? How long had they been carrying on behind my back? How
