LOGINEmily thought signing a contract would be the worst thing to ever happen to her but she was wrong. “Sign the papers,” her father blurted, forcing her into a seven-year master servant contract to the cold, powerful, and untouchable Billionaire, Edward Carter. To him, she was nothing more than a solution to his problems. A fake wife to please his grandparents. A body to warm his bed. An office employee. But somewhere between the lies and the nights they shared, Emily started to fall in love. And just when she thought she meant something to him. “I'm letting you go, Emily,” he said calmly. His ex-fiancée returned pregnant. Heartbroken and rejected, Emily, disappears without a word, not knowing she’s carrying Edward’s child. Five years later, she is now stronger, independent, and no longer the girl he once controlled. But when Edward sees her again with a son who looks exactly like him. This time, he’s not begging but he's claiming. “You still belong to me,” bringing up the contract she signed five years ago.

Her mouth parted to answer but nothing came out. “All my friends in school have dads, don't I have a dad?” His innocent words struck Emily's heart like she'd been stabbed with a sharp knife. “Oh, my baby,” she wrapped her right arm around him, pulling him close. “Daddy is away for work and he’ll be back soon,” she spoke in a soft tone while gently patting his back. “When will he be back?” Ethan demanded, pulling away from her hold and looking into her eyes. “In a few weeks, darling,” she leaned down and kissed his cheek. Luckily for her, Ethan didn't question her on the issue again, as they left the school premises for home. Throughout the drive, her conversation with the child kept ringing in her head. It wasn't the first time Ethan had questioned her about his dad. She couldn't count the number of lies she had told the toddler about her father's whereabouts. Ethan was too young to understand the predicament reg
Emily sat on the bed, picking up her phone to search for the next flight to Texas. “There's nothing left for me here,” she said to herself. She arranged her things disregarding the fact that she had paid for a week. All she wanted was to leave California with all its memories behind. The next morning, she was on her way to the airport. She had arranged her things the previous night. She woke up before dawn because her flight was in the morning. When she arrived at the airport, she stared at every corner. It felt like one of her nightmares but it was her reality. An hour later, she boarded the plane without daring to look back. When the plane took off, she closed her eyes, allowing silent tears to slip down her cheeks. "This is the end of everything I once knew and the beginning of a new life,” she murmured to herself as she wiped the tears off her face. Five years later. The ringing of the alarm clock jolted Emily from her sleep, she quickly turned it off not wanting to disturb
Emily stops, as she turns to his direction. Her heart starts pounding. Maybe it was all a prank, she thought to herself. Edward walks to her calmly. “You forgot your locket,” he hands it to her. “And the money has also been paid to your account,” he added in a calm tone. Emily's heart falls immediately, her hopes shattered. “T...thanks,” she turns and leaves, slamming the door behind her. Holding her tears, the pain in her heart, and the anger boiling in her from the disappointment. As she walked outside the gate, the cab she had booked was already waiting for her. She barged into the taxi without confirming if it was her ride. “Where to ma'am?” The driver asked, staring at her through the rearview mirror. “Take me to any hotel outside this town,” she replied, avoiding his gaze. “Okay, ma'am.” Emily stared out of the window as she burst into silent tears. “How did I fall into this,” she murmured to herself. “W.....why is fate so cruel, where do I go now?” Emil
“I’m letting you go, Emily,” he said, pulling her away from his chest and leaning her backward. “Meaning?” She asked, staring at Edward in confusion. For a moment, he was quiet then he spoke. “My Ex-fiance, she's back,” he said, straightening his stance. The word sounded vague for a moment; she tried to understand it, but she couldn't. “I don't……could you come again?” “The woman I was supposed to marry is back.” He spat out, then continued. “Her name is Natasha Bale. We started dating two years ago, six months ago she left California without saying a word to me. I searched for her, but to no avail. I was supposed to introduce her to my grandparents the week she left. That was why, when your dad made the offer I accepted. I needed someone to replace her, then you came in. I saw her yesterday, and apparently she's pregnant with my child.” He explained without sparing her a glance. “And you still want her?” Emily asked, her heart racing, scared of hearing the wrong answ
