Thirty Days Before I leave
"Give me thirty days as your real wife, Julian. Then I’ll sign the papers and disappear."
It sounded like the final desperate plea of a woman dying for his affection. But to Seraphina, those thirty days weren't just about love they were a countdown to the one thing she needed from him to feel whole again, a baby.
For three years, Seraphina endured an ice-cold marriage to Julian, the ruthless billionaire CEO of Vance Global. He married her solely to satisfy his grandfather's deathbed decree, while reserving all his tenderness for the glamorous socialite, Evelyn Cross. Trapped in a mansion surrounded by a hostile mother-in-law and snobbish elite, Seraphina kept her head down, waiting for her moment.
When Julian presents the final divorce papers to marry Evelyn, Seraphina makes one startling counter-offer: thirty days of a true marriage. No secrets, no cold shoulders, and one month in his bed. Julian assumes she's playing a pathetic, gold-digging game to trap him.
He agrees, determined to prove she means nothing to him. But he doesn't know her true motive: Seraphina needs an heir to unlock her late mother's hidden estate and the moment the thirty days end, she plans on faking her exit forever.
As the days tick down, Julian finds himself inexplicably drawn to the quiet strength of the woman he discarded. But by the time he realizes he is falling for his own wife... the thirty days are up, and Seraphina may vanish without a trace.
