MasukMarriage, to me, was a sacred vow - not a business proposition. Yet, that's exactly what Hayes Caldwell, the enigmatic billionaire, offered: $200,000 to wear his ring. Just 24 hours prior, my world crashed down. Fired from my job after pouring years into a project, I sought solace in the bottom of a bottle. That's when our paths crossed, and the night blurred into reckless passion. But morning brought a harsh reality: our intimate encounter had gone viral. Hayes's solution? A contract marriage to salvage our reputations. I hesitated, but desperation won out. Agreeing to his terms, I sealed my fate. Little did I know, the line between pretense and reality would soon blur, threatening to consume us both. Hop into this ride with me… let’s see how the story unfolds.

I want to leave him, but a part of me still yearned for him, still wants to be by his side even with his betrayal.I should have expected this?

I had no idea when he walked in, I was so consumed with my thoughts I had not realised that he was inside the room.“My name is Bianca, please address me as such.” I corrected my tone a little bit harsher than I intended. The doctor looked stunned by my sudden outburst as his once smiling and welcoming face turned into an awkward expression.“Oh, sorry miss…. Bianca.” He corrected. “I am here to tell you that you have been cleared and can leave. You can wait for Mr Cal…..” he said but I interrupted him before he could finish.“I will go now.” I st
Hayes POV I could not believe what I was seeing on TV, it had to be a joke. Ginny was giving an interview to the host, lying that I abandoned her Adrian and a picture of Adrian was then displayed on the screen. I almost lost it. What was this woman doing? As if my situation could not get any worse my phone started to ring. It was my father. It was a rare occurance to hear from him, but I had every right to believe that this is because of Ginny being on the news calling my name. With a deep sigh I excisedmuself and walked to the corner of the room. Incould feel Bianca's eyes on me but I felt too ashamed to look at her. I was apologising to her and things just kept getting worse. “What the hell is going on?” Charles yelled over the phone. “I will handle it.” I replied as calmly as I could although my mind was in a frenzy. “Handle it? How do you plan to do that? I have been receiving calls from the board of directors all day asking for an explanation. And I have no idea
Bianca’s POV As much as I would not like to admit it, deep down I know I still loved him. My feelings for him were still strong, but I was not sure I could move past this. He never trusted me, that was why he kept something like this from me. Only God knows what else he has been hiding from me. His actions completely contradict his words. Hearing him rub it in my face that I had no one felt like a low blow. He expects me to take his shit because I was all alone.He seems to be forgetting something. I was going to be a mom, I am going to build my family without his help.His words made it seem like he intentionally hurt me because he knew I had no one to defend me but he thought wrong.I hailed a cab, while he continued to rant about how much he cared for me and my baby, but my mind has been made up, I am not going back to him.“Bianca, I am talking to you. Please listen to me.” He yelled, in frustration as he ran his finger through his hair.“Well I don't want to.” I responded nonc
