Cassian St. Clair, a businessman and the sole heir to a corporate empire, finds himself at an unexpected crossroads when his father announces that he can only assume control of the company when he finds an heir to carry on the family lineage. Pressured by time and the desire to meet the patriarch's expectations, Cassian embarks on an unconventional quest. It is in this moment of desperation that he encounters Emeraude, a young woman struggling to survive in a ruthless city. Unemployed and on the brink of eviction from her modest apartment, Emeraude seems to be the solution to Cassian's problems. He sees her as the perfect candidate to be the mother of his future child, the heir he so desperately needs. An unexpected proposal is made, and Emeraude is faced with a difficult choice: accept Cassian's offered pact to secure a financially stable future or forge her own uncertain path. As they embark on this unusual journey together, complicated feelings begin to surface, and what started as a convenience agreement becomes an intricate game of emotions.

Prologue
The elevator opened, and Cassian hurriedly walked towards Mr. St. Clair's office. He passed by the secretary without saying a word and placed his hand on the doorknob, opening it promptly. Cassian cleared his throat as he closed the door. His father looked up and gestured with his head towards the chair in front of him. Cassian walked over to the comfortable chair and sat down, gazing at the man in the suit before him.
"I believe you received my message," he said, stacking the papers on top of each other.
"I came as soon as I read it," Cassian replied, leaning back in the chair, getting comfortable.
"We need to talk, Cassian," he said, looking at him seriously. Had he discovered his son's libertine lifestyle?
"You can speak," Cassian said, looking at him with curiosity.
"Son, I'm getting on in years, and it won't be long before I retire, leaving you to take my place in the company," Cassian nodded, already aware of this. "However, I have some concerns. You're 29 years old and haven't had a serious relationship yet. Not that it's any of my business, but I worry about the future of the company. To pass on the role of company president to you, I need to be sure about your progress."
"What do you mean by that?" Cassian asked, not understanding where his father was going with this conversation.
"I want you to provide an heir, and the position will be yours," he said, shrugging.
"How?" Cassian asked, frustrated and laughing, but not out of happiness. "Are you kidding me? I don't plan on getting married anytime soon, let alone having children."
"I don't want you to get married now, just provide an heir," he said, rolling his eyes. "Find a beautiful woman and get her pregnant."
"Super easy," Cassian said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. His father must be going crazy.
"Let me explain better, Cassian," Mr. St. Clair said, handing him some papers. "This is the contract she will have to sign. I've already informed our lawyer about it. The child's mother can never speak about this, and she will have no rights over the child, only you. However, she will still have the right to be a mother, do you understand?"
"She would only take care of him, and I would make decisions for him?" Cassian asked, and he nodded with a smile.
"You won't have to marry her or anything like that, just choose a woman who isn't materialistic and doesn't crave too much attention, as it could bring us significant problems in the future," he said, shrugging and taking the papers from his son's hands.
"Why all of this?" Cassian asked, indignant with his father's attitude.
"I want you to have an heir," he said, as if it were the easiest thing in the world.

As Emeraude threw the bouquet, she turned to face the sea of women before her, somewhat confused about who had actually caught the bouquet."Oh my God!" exclaimed her mother, holding the bouquet. Emeraude observed her, unsure whether to laugh or feel happy."Looks like my mother-in-law is next in line to get married," Cassian joked quietly, laughing. "YEAH WOOHOO!" he shouted, clapping.Emeraude walked over to her mother, who was already composed among the women again. Her smile was so radiant that Emeraude couldn't help but smile too.

Emeraude woke up to her mother's firm voice calling her. Opening her eyes, she sat up in bed, feeling a bit dizzy from the sudden movement. Looking around, she noticed she was alone in bed, with her mother standing at the door, watching her closely."I can't believe you're still sleeping!" her mother scolded, hands on her hips. "You should have been at the salon already, Emeraude.""What time is it?" Emeraude asked, getting up slowly this time."Almost 10 o'clock. You have 30 minutes," the young lady replied, leaving and closing the door behind her.Emeraude took a deep breath and grabbed her phone, feeling tempted to call Cassian, but she knew he would be busy. She headed to the bathroom and soon began to undress to take a shower. As the water cascaded over her, her thoughts wandered to the previous night, when she had a small gathering with the women at her apartment. She had decided not to have a bachelorette party; she was happy with the direction her life was taking now. After fi
