She was framed by Maya and her husband, and no one believed her. She was forced to divorce Michael. Esther got involved in a car accident which made her lose her unborn child and her womb; she was told that she couldn't give birth again. Heartbroken, Esther went back home and took her rightful inheritance of her father's company. Esther made a promise to be man-free for the rest of her life and vowed to take revenge on her ex-husband and ex-best friend. After Esther became the CEO of her family's company, John came to Esther, demanding the fifty million dollars her late father owed him. He gave Esther an option to choose between paying off the debt within 3 weeks, or he would sign a marriage contract with her, and after she gave birth to him, the contract would be over.

Or will she go against the promise she made to herself?
ดูเพิ่มเติมChapter 042John's POV I watched as Esther ran to the car, her fragile figure trembling. I can see the pain in her eyes and soul. That ex-husband of hers really dealt with her. He made her life miserable and I would be by Esther's side every step of her avenge. She was my wife, and it hurts me to see her pale. Without even sparing a glance at the doctor, I stormed out of his office, straight to the car. Esther was already in the car, her head low, lost in thought. “Hey!” I whispered, placing a hand on my lap. She sniffed, whipping off her tears before glancing at me. “John, I need to destroy Michael, but I can't do that without your help. I can't make any move without your help. The help I need from you is to uplift my company. I want to be a well-known CEO, a very influential one, please,” she said with her trembling lips. She made a very big request and I couldn't say ‘no’ to her. I guess it would be better for me to seek something in return. I cleared my throat. “Well, I am
Chapter 041Esther's POV I opened my eyes slowly as the bright sun rays projected at my face. I blinked repeatedly, trying to get accustomed to the light. I had anticipated the day all night because it was the day I wanted to go to the hospital and demand an answer about why the doctor lied to me. The answer I wasn't sure if I wanted to hear or not. Looking at the other side of the bed, John was already awake, he was not in the room. Still groggy from sleep, I forced myself up and headed to the bathroom. I took my bath and got dressed before heading downstairs.Each step echoed through the silent house as I made my way to the dining room.“Good morning ma'am,” the maid greeted, breaking the silence. His head bowed low as she placed the tray in her hands on the table.“Morning, Is my husband out?” “No ma'am, he is in the living room,” she replied. I nodded stiffly before heading to the living room. My hand tightened around the knob, and with a deep breath I turned it. The door swun
Chapter 040John's POV “John, who really is Jessica to you?” Esther asked. The silence that followed the room was almost defeating. I felt a storm of emotion. I slowly raised my head and my eyes met hers. I saw something in her, I couldn't quite place, perhaps confusion and jealousy. “I'm so sorry you have to experience this,” I said quietly. “Well, to be honest, Jessica and I dated back then in college. She left me for a guy who is rich, leaving me heartbroken and devastated. Since then, I have considered her as just a friend,” I said, looking into her eyes, hoping she could see the sincerity in me. “Look, Esther, there is nothing between us, I promise. I was just trying to help her,” I added. Esther nodded before placing a hand on my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. “I know the man I'm married to. I believe you,” she plastered a cute smile on her face. A wave of relief washed over me. Thankfully, Esther was an understanding person. My mind was crowded with thoughts tryi
Chapter 039Esther's POV The house was quiet as I slowly woke up, the soft hum of the morning light filtering through the curtains. I noticed the other side of the bed was empty and showed no signs of John. My heart skipped to beat as different wild thoughts ran through my head.The silence of the atmosphere was interrupted by a burst of laughter. I frowned as I slipped out of bed and followed the sound. The laughter grew louder and mingled with the clinking of dishes. Pushing open the kitchen door, I met a scene that stung more than a knife to the heart. John and an unknown woman standing at the counter had their movements in perfect harmony as if they had practiced this routine a thousand times.The woman leaned closer to John, her hands pushing him as they worked together.I had no idea who that woman was, but I didn't think she was his relative. John, who always seemed so reserved, was laughing at the jokes the woman was cracking. His laughter was so rich and genuine, a sound
Chapter 038Esther's POV John helped me get seated in the car as I was still in shock about my pregnancy. It felt like a dream. I had been trying to puzzle out what was happening to me. Is it that the doctor who attended to me during my accident wasn't professional, or I was really not pregnant? It's just some misunderstanding. I turned and looked at John who was seated beside me, buried in thought. The silence in the atmosphere was too thick to cut with a knife.‘Do you love me?’ These words echoed in my ears like a thunderstorm. I wasn't sure if I could answer that question so far, since after our marriage John had been considerate to me in every way. I thought these three words “I love you” were not that important and our marriage was still happy without them. I gently place my hand on my belly, emotionally feeling my child inside of me. I wasn't really sure if I was pregnant or not, but, yes! It felt real. All of a sudden, the car came to a halt, bringing me back to life. As
Chapter 037John's POV Reaching the ward, Esther was already asleep; the soft click from the door made her open her eyes slowly. I walked towards her, wearing a smile on my face. “Hey, little doll,” I whispered. She stretched her hand to hold mine, demanding that I sit close to her. “Hey John, welcome back. How did it go?” she asked. “Ah… It was superb, a company was demanding collaboration with us, that's all,” I said. “Uhm… Actually, I'm still in the dark about what you said earlier, regarding your pregnancy,” I added, trying to bring back the conversation. She rolled her eyes before letting out a heavy sigh which made my heart sink. My gaze fixed on her lips impatiently waiting for her to explain. She adjusted a bit before clearing her throat. “It has been years since I divorced my husband, but the memory still remains fresh every fucking day, as if it just happened yesterday. The day I divorced my husband, I was involved in a car accident, and I was a few weeks pregnant…”
Chapter 026John's POV I stared at Esther for about two minutes and was completely confused. I thought we were on this together. I thought she wanted to get pregnant and get rid of me.I took a few steps forward and stood in front of her. “Look, whatever it is in your mind, you need to calm down OK?” I consoled her. “I'm fucking confused, it's just…” she whispered, searching for the right word to say. “It's fine, you need to rest,” I said as I embraced her with a warm hug. I walked her back to her bed. The doctor and nurses stared at us in shock. I felt embarrassed by Esther's actions. I felt like disappearing from the hospital, but no, I couldn't do that. Esther is my wife and I have to be there for her. I needed to calm her down. “Uhm ... . Please can I be alone with my wife?” I asked. “Yeah, sure,” the doctor said before they trooped out of the ward. I followed behind them and shut the door after they went out. I let out a heavy sigh three consecutive times to keep my heart i
Chapter 035 Esther's POV I slowly opened my eyes and raised my head. I felt a horrible headache which made me wince. I snapped my head and what I saw next made my heart skip a beat. John's naked body was laid beside me. I looked down and that was when I realised I was also naked. my eyes popped out as I was trying to remember what happened last night. I knew I arrived home and met John in the entrance, that was all I could register. “fuck,” I groaned. I shook my head, anyways he was my husband and there was no harm in that. I used the sheet to cover John's body before walking to the bathroom. I took a shower, the warm water washing away the pain that was behold in my body. After bathing I wore a gown and my flip-flops. Heading downstairs to prepare breakfast as it was the weekend and that was the maids' off day. I stood in the kitchen for a while wandering around trying to figure out the fastest food to cook. I needed to prepare the food before John gets down. Foo
Chapter 034Esther's POVI had thought about mom's maid's suggestion and I tried going to the hospital to meet the doctor and discuss if there is any way I can give birth again. It was hard to outsmart John. I told him I wanted to visit a friend of mine in the hospital, and luckily he agreed without suspecting anything. I told him I wanted to go alone and, without a protest, he agreed. I arrived at the hospital about 30 minutes ago, and I was already waiting for the doctor who was busy with patients. Just then, the door cracked open, and the doctor came in.“Heyyy, Esther, how are you?” he asked, plastering a smile on his face. I cleared my throat as my heart kept pounding. “I'm fine Doc, thanks. I came about my inability to give birth… Is there anything you could do… Maybe surgery or something?” I asked, my gaze fixed on his lips. He leaned back in his chair and let out a heavy sigh. His expression already told me what I needed to know. I know there was no way out. I just can't
Chapter 001Esther's POV “Wow, a big congratulations to you madam, you are pregnant,” the doctor whispered to me, which made my heart explode. “wait.. What?” I asked as tears of joy streamed down my face. I couldn't believe I was pregnant. I can't believe I was finally going to be a mom. After a year of marriage with Michael, finally we are going to be parents. I place my hand on my stomach, thinking about how much love I would show him when I give birth to him. The doctor told me some things I needed to do for the baby's health, but I was focused on the creation inside of me, which made me not pay attention. I grabbed my phone from the bedside cabinet and dialed Michael's number. I wanted to break the news to him there because I couldn't wait till we met. Michael's phone rang, but there was no response. I let out a sigh, then frowned. Suddenly, a creeping smile appeared on my face when I thought of going to his office and making the announcement specially to him. “Ahhh doctor...
