Married to the father of my child
She only wanted to save her marriage.
He wanted to forget he had ever believed in love.
Myriam Bennett had it all: a successful husband, a comfortable life, and a future that seemed perfect. The only thing missing was a child… but what for her was a dream, for her husband was nothing more than an obligation.
After several failed treatments, she received the cruelest proposal of all — to conceive a baby with another man, at any cost.
Gerald Lennox is cold, solitary, and completely devoted to his work. After a painful betrayal, he locked his heart away. But one night, his best friend drags him into a reckless game… and a bet leads him to share a bed with a woman he doesn’t know and never intends to see again.
What neither of them imagines is that this encounter will change their lives forever.
When fate brings them together once more, the truth threatens to explode.
Can love blossom between two people bound by a lie?
Or will the past condemn them to lose everything?
An intense story of second chances, forbidden secrets, and a love that was never meant to be.

Chapter: Chapter 44: What Do You Want, Bianca?The vast gardens of the Lennox mansion were adorned with red and white roses. Chairs dressed in gold and blue lined up in neat rows facing the altar. The place where the couple would unite their lives had been decorated with white silk drapes and matching flowers. From early morning, the organizers had been putting the final touches in place.Anne walked to Gerald’s room and knocked on the door.“Who is it?” he asked, still half-asleep, his arms wrapped tightly around his future wife’s body.“I came for the bride—you can’t see her before the wedding,” Anne replied from the other side of the door. “Can I come in? Are you two dressed, lovebirds?” she added with a laugh.Myriam rubbed her eyes, blinking drowsily, and then suddenly sat up with a start.“The wedding! Tony!” she exclaimed, jumping to her feet.Gerald’s eyes traveled over her body, biting his lip.“Are you going out like that?” he asked playfully.She realized she was still naked and instinctively covered herself with the sh

Chapter: Chapter 43: Ready to Be Only Mine?Myriam slid down from the dresser with overflowing sensuality and moved toward the bed. Her green eyes gleamed with a fire that set everything in its path ablaze.Gerald’s gaze locked onto that body of perfect curves, lingering on her voluptuous breasts and generous hips that disarmed him completely. He drew in a deep breath, fighting against the instinct to pounce on her like a beast in heat.“You’re perfect,” he whispered in a husky voice.Myriam smiled at his words. Slowly, provocatively, she straddled him, her lips finding Gerald’s in a burning kiss. Though she still wore clothes, she could feel the firm press of his erection beneath his pants against her damp sex.She rubbed her hips against Gerald’s length, savoring his growls and the ragged breaths he couldn’t control. Her lips traveled along his neck, drinking in that intoxicating cedar scent of his masculinity.When she began to undress him, Gerald sat up decisively and stripped off his own clothes.Myriam’s lips parted into

Chapter: Chapter 42: To Hell with the Contract!Gerald took a sip of wine and, for the first time, found no answer. He frowned.“I don’t know what I ever saw in her,” he confessed honestly. “I’ve known her since we were kids; her father was my father’s right-hand man. Bianca was a sweet little girl, and I enjoyed her company.” He sighed. “Over time, Isis began working at the company and seduced my father. My grandfather, who was a wise man, told me not to judge Bianca for her sister’s mistakes, so I kept seeing her. We went to the movies, clubs, restaurants… we had fun.” He looked her straight in the eyes. “One day I asked her to be my girlfriend, and she turned me down. I thought it was because she didn’t want to ruin our friendship, but it wasn’t that.” He drank another sip of wine. “She left me for an older man with more money. She disappointed me. I think, just like you, I clung to an illusion. I confused love with something that was never real. After that, I decided never to have a stable relationship again; most of the women

Chapter: Chapter 41: Fall in Love with Me.When the melody ended, Elsa and Myriam applauded.“Our turn,” Elsa declared, took a sip of tequila, and requested a song.The notes of A quién le importa by Thalía began to play through the speakers. Elsa grabbed the microphone, pulled Myriam along to dance with her, and they both began to sing the song together.They swayed their hips, moving with sensual rhythm. Gerald sipped his tequila, never taking his eyes off Myriam. A smile spread across his face as he listened to her sing.“I hope you never change,” he whispered.When Elsa finished her performance, Myriam—now with two more drinks in her—gathered her courage and requested her own song: De mí enamórate by Daniela Romo.She moved slowly, seductively, in front of her boyfriend. She bit her lips and began to sing with her sweet, melodious voice.Gerald’s heart trembled as he listened. The lyrics consumed him entirely as he gazed at her, entranced.Myriam’s eyes glistened. A pang struck her chest as she thought he might leave once

Chapter: Chapter 40: He’s Dying of Love for You!“He kissed me,” Myriam whispered in a thread of voice. She looked at Gerald’s serious face and shivered.He drew in a deep breath.“I know,” he answered.Myriam felt a slight relief, though his expression still hadn’t changed.“Is something wrong?” she asked. “How did you know?”Gerald let out a sigh and curved his lips faintly.“I had that guy investigated. They told me he’s a model trying to become an actor. I suspected someone had hired him. I didn’t fully understand his motives, but now everything makes sense.”“Even if no one had hired him, I’m honest. I could never cheat,” she declared, staring straight into his eyes.“I know,” he smiled. “I’ll settle things with Bianca. But now we need to go home and change. Elsa and Kevin invited us out—it’s our last day as singles.”Myriam trembled. Her heart raced wildly.“So much has happened, it feels unreal that tomorrow is the wedding,” she said, her voice trembling. “You still have time to change your mind.”Gerald pressed his lips toge

Chapter: Chapter 39: That’s My Girl!Days later, Noemí was discharged. Yet, to everyone’s surprise, she didn’t accuse Raymond. She declared she had been attacked in an alley and claimed she couldn’t remember her assailants’ faces.“You’re going to tell me the truth,” Myriam demanded seriously once the sisters were alone. “It was him… Raymond Wilson, wasn’t it?”Noemí lowered her gaze, not denying it.“They’re setting a trap for you. Be careful,” she warned softly. “They want Gerald to mistrust you. Raymond has allied with a woman named Bianca… they’re lovers now.”A shiver ran through Myriam’s body. She swallowed hard.“How do you know that?” she asked in a trembling voice.“I overheard them. The plan was to claim paternity of the baby, but when he found out the child was Gerald’s… he lost his mind. He took it out on me. I can’t denounce him, Myriam. He threatened to hurt Tony.”Myriam’s eyes flew open. She clutched her chest, a sharp pang robbing her of breath.“He better not dare touch my son,” she muttered, fists clen
