Lies of a Pregnant Bride
Certainly, I can remove the sentence "Dive into a tale of forbidden desire, hidden legacies, and a love forged in the crucible of betrayal." Here’s the revised description with that line omitted, maintaining the novel's captivating style to hook readers and editors, followed by the Chinese translation. In the shadowed corridors of wealth and deception, Sophia Lane wove a web of lies so intricate it could ensnare a king. A single, reckless night with Ethan Blackwood—the ruthless billionaire heir whose icy gaze could shatter steel—left her with a secret pulsing beneath her silk-clad curves: a child he’d scorned and threatened to destroy. Presumed dead in a fiery plane crash, Ethan returns, his memory a blank canvas, offering Sophia the golden chance to claim his empire as his "devoted fiancée." But as passion reignites and rivals like the gentle Anna—who saved his life—threaten to unravel her façade, Sophia dances on the edge of ruin. Will her bold gambit crown her the queen of his heart, or will the truth ignite a scandal that burns her dreams to ash?

Chapter: No Way! Absolutely Not!Early morning light filtered into the bedroom as a chubby little hand shoved the door open with a thud.Buddy clutched his teddy bear, those big round eyes scanning the room until they lit up at the lumpy mound under the covers.Ethan was still deep in sleep, eyelids shut tight, his chest rising and falling steady with each breath.In the next beat, Buddy's tiny legs pumped as he toddled over fast, then flopped right onto that bump."Daddy, time to get up! The sun's gonna bake your butt!"Ethan felt the weight hit him, let out a soft grunt without cracking an eye, but the corner of his mouth quirked up.Buddy had inherited his dad's sharp features, already showing that refined edge and boyish charm even at his age.The kid sprawled across him, hollering in that sweet baby voice, "Daddy, no sleeping in. Teacher says if you do, you'll..."He trailed off, puffing his cheeks as he fished for the words. "The bad guys'll snatch you!"Buddy wasn't in school yet, but he already had pros handl

Chapter: Maybe She's Telling the Truth?In a tucked-away room of the sprawling mansion.Sophia fired up her laptop, pulling up the feed from the terrace cameras.From the day Ethan came home, she'd sprinkled tiny cams all over the place.She had to keep tabs on his every move.Sophia watched the screen, earbuds piping in the four guys' chat crystal clear, every word hitting home.Her eyes darkened by the second, fists clenching tighter...Yeah right, like she'd let them egg him on to buy her out.Not a chance in hell!She'd clawed her way this far— no way she'd bail now.Without Buddy in the mix, facing all that pushback, she might've grabbed the cash and split.But with him? Even if it wasn't for her, she'd fight for their boy.If she slunk away, the Blackwoods would never let her take him.And she couldn't be that selfish anyway, ripping away what was rightfully his.Ethan would probably end up with some blue-blood match, pop out their own kid.Buddy wouldn't stand a chance against that—might get shoved to the sidelines,

Chapter: Marriage Isn't Ours to Play Around WithThe terrace at the Blackwood estate was hosting a low-key private get-together.Everyone there had grown up alongside Ethan—his ride-or-die crew from way back.Each one loaded, from old money or new.Kevin Newton, heir to Newton Tech Group, six-foot-two, lean and wiry, hooked on extreme sports, total devil-may-care type.Stanley West, whose family ran the powerhouse West Energy Group nationwide, six-foot-three, built like a tank, and a straight-up player through and through.Carson Powell, golden boy of a top-tier auto empire, six-foot-three, mixed-race features, steady as they come.When Ethan stepped into view.Kevin shot up from the sofa like a rocket, lunging over to grab his face."Whoa, you're actually alive? Let me check if this is some plastic surgery imposter."Ethan's brow furrowed, and he snapped Kevin's wrist in a lock, twisting it back hard enough to nearly slam him into the coffee table."Ow—damn it, that hurts!" Kevin winced, face screwed up. "Shit, amnesia and you're s

Chapter: Sophia's PastAlyssa frowned a bit. "You scared that once he gets his memory back, he'll kick you to the curb?""Kick me to the curb?" Sophia let out a wry little laugh. "Nah, I think he'd straight-up want me dead."All because she went ahead and had the kid he never wanted."No way. You gave him this adorable little boy. Even if it's not merit, it's gotta count for something."Sophia just smiled, saying nothing.She figured she was kinda twisted, getting this weird rush watching Ethan scoop up Buddy for cuddles and tosses in the air.Alyssa stubbed out her cigarette. "You never should've gone after Ethan in the first place. High society? Not exactly easy pickings.""With your looks and that fancy degree, put in some real grind, and you could've built something solid on your own..."Grind?Sophia asked herself that in her head.Wasn't she grinding hard enough already?But did grinding even pay off?Those dark memories flooded back like a wave.Her mom vanished not long after she was born, and her d

Chapter: Scared he'll snap out of it any second.In a bar that had shut down early for the night.Sophia lounged on the booth's sofa, her long legs crossed and swaying lightly to the beat of the music, giving off this effortless allure.Her right hand cradled a glass of red wine, her gaze hazy as she stared into the crimson swirl."You seem off tonight." Alyssa slid into the seat across from her.Sophia lifted her head slow, those eyes carrying a tipsy glaze, her lips curving into a half-hearted smile."Can't tell? I'm drowning my sorrows here."Alyssa teased, "Well, look at you, Miss Moneybags with actual problems."Sophia shot her a sidelong glance, half-laughing at herself. "Moneybags? Please. I'm just a pretty little bird begging for scraps with my palm up."Alyssa figured it was all drama and pulled a slim cigarette from her pack, lighting it up and taking a deep drag before blowing out slow."You're moping? Girl, half the world would kill for your setup—kid, cash, and zero hubby duties. Total dream life."Sophia took a sip of

Chapter: Warning: If It Doesn't Fit, Don't Force ItA Maybach eased into the Blackwood Plaza, pulling up at the SVIP entrance."Mrs. Blackwood, good morning."The mall manager hustled over right away, flanked by uniformed staff.Sophia gave a slight nod, handing off her Hermès Birkin to the attendant who stepped up.Anna had never seen anything like this, so she hung back half a step behind Sophia, feeling totally out of her element.Her outfit—maybe fifty bucks tops—stuck out like a sore thumb in all this opulence.The manager's eyes landed on Anna, a flicker of surprise crossing her face, but she snapped back to her polished smile in a heartbeat.The SVIP lounge door slid open without a sound.This three-hundred-square-foot haven was a private shopping salon, custom-built for the elite crowd.Anna's eyes went wide as saucers, her jaw practically on the floor as she gawked around.So this was how the rich shopped—no rubbing elbows with the regular folks.Sophia clocked her reaction, the corner of her mouth tipping up just a touch."Ev
