It was a special day for Anastasia and Damien.

For the past few days, the couple has been discussing adoption, a decision that feels monumental to both of them. Today, they have taken the first big step by visiting an orphanage. The thought of becoming parents for the first time has made them both nervous and excited. They have spent countless hours talking it over with friends and family, weighing the decision carefully before finally moving forward.

“Mr. and Mrs. Callahan, we currently have 50 children in our orphanage,” the manager explained warmly as he led them through the hallways.

The place was bustling with life, filled with laughter and the curious eyes of children. Anastasia and Damien took their time talking to many of them. Each child had a unique personality, and their innocent charm brought smiles to the couple's faces.

But as much as Anastasia wanted to feel an immediate connection, something inside her told her to wait. None of the children she met so far felt like her

  • Contract Marriage: The Billionaire's First Love    The End

    “Aunt Des, you’re not supposed to cry over a boy,” little Dove Callahan said seriously as she wrapped her small arms around her heartbroken aunt, who was sobbing over a recent breakup. “If he made you cry, then he is a bad person. And we shouldn’t like bad people. But… it’s okay if you still like him. Daddy says we can’t control who we love, but it’s better to be sad than to stay with someone who doesn’t treat us right.” She looked up, her eyes big and soft. “You’re a good person, Auntie. I love you.”Destiny clutched her niece closer and cried even harder. “D, you’re my favorite person. Why don’t you marry me instead?”Dove made a face. “I’m not a boy, Auntie! I can’t marry you, but I can stay with you forever and love you lots.”Adeline, watching from across the room, wiped a tear and cooed, “Anna, I swear, I would give everything to have her marry my son one day.”“Not happening,” Regina said. “You are not her mom,”Adeline shot back. Regina rolled her eyes with a laugh. “She’s my

    Anastasia and Damien were forty years old when their lives were turned upside down in the most unexpected way.Anastasia was sitting on the couch, tears streaming down her face, clutching a cushion like it was a life raft. Damien stood beside her, rubbing her back with one hand and holding a glass of water in the other, his own face a mixture of guilt and panic.“Please don’t cry, baby… Please…” he begged softly, clearly at a loss for how to fix what he had done.“What did you do, Damien?” Anastasia snapped through her sobs, glaring at him as if he had committed a war crime.“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “So, so sorry.”Across the room, Adeline and Regina stood watching with tired expressions and arms crossed, while Abel and Ronan were casually eating popcorn like they were watching the season finale of a soap opera.“Seriously, stop crying,” Damien pleaded again, looking like a man desperate to stop a train with his bare hands.“What’s going on?” Asher asked, entering the living room wi

    “Wait… wait—hold on—is that Asher Callahan?!”Anastasia turned to see a boy with wide eyes and an expression that screamed starstruck.“You know him?” Ashton asked, slightly confused.“Gosh, who doesn’t know him? He’s basically a legend around here. His photo’s up in the main hall—Professor Stark’s prized student… until he ditched him for some B-grade uni.”“Oxford,” Damien said, clearly offended.“Yeah. Whatever,” the boy shrugged. “Let me text T. She’ll owe me big for this.”Asher paled. “Kid—no. Don’t you dare tell her I’m here.”Too late. The boy had already texted. “Hey, T. Guess who is at the hostel gate? Asher freaking Callahan. Get here before he escapes.”Then, the boy turned to Anastasia. “Miss Beauty, can you hold him here for a bit? His girlfriend’s on her way.”Anastasia blinked. “He has a girlfriend?”The entire parental unit snapped to attention, eyes wide like they had just discovered classified information.“She’s not my girlfriend!” Asher groaned.“She trapped me!” h

    “Max, make sure you finish your meals,” Anastasia said gently, brushing her son’s collar flat for the third time that morning. “You have to eat properly, okay? Don’t skip anything just because you are in a hurry. And please, don’t hang out with bad company. It’s going to be cold there, so wear warm clothes and layer up. Take care of yourself, alright?”Ashton smiled and nodded, then stepped forward and wrapped his arms around his mother. She looked tiny and delicate in front of her now-taller teenage son, and for a moment, she just held him like she used to when he was little. He kissed her cheek and whispered, “I love you, Mommy. I’m going to miss you terribly.”“Excuse me,” Damien said with offence, raising an eyebrow. “And what about me?”“You too, old man!” Ashton said with a grin.Then, before anyone could interrupt, he added, “So Dad… about that Aston Martin… when are we going to talk about it?”Damien stared at him. “Seriously?”“I mean, I’m fifteen now,” Ashton continued with a

  • Contract Marriage: The Billionaire's First Love    Man and Wife

    Everyone expected that Regina and Anastasia’s relationship would improve after the truth about their birth and family history finally came to light but the truth is, there was never a relationship to repair. At twenty-eight, with the gentle guidance of Fiona who was slowly stepping into her role as a mother to them both, they were simply learning how to exist in each other’s lives, no longer as enemies but as sisters.After Harold’s death, both women began to heal at their own pace. When the will was finalised and Claire was officially prosecuted and sentenced, Anastasia took a quiet step that surprised everyone. Though she was Harold’s only legal heir, she shared her inheritance equally with Regina, who had been deliberately excluded. Anna didn’t want money or power to become another wedge between them. She knew what it was like to grow up feeling robbed of love and belonging, and she refused to let the past write their future.Though she remained half-owner of Spencer Industries, An

    “Hi, Anna!” Abel called out brightly as soon as he spotted her stepping into the house.“Wow, Abel,” Anna said with a playful grin, “You look unusually happy today.”Abel laughed. “Of course I am! My wife is finally home, and the babies are happy, which means Daddy is the happiest man alive!”Regina stood nearby, quietly smiling at the scene playing out in front of her. It was something she never thought she would have, and now it was here.“Did you two finally pick names for the girls?” Anna asked, eyeing the twins still snuggled against their mother’s chest.“We’re still deciding,” Regina and Abel said in unison, their voices overlapping. They shared a sheepish smile.“So, what did you do all morning, Anna?”Anna blinked at the random question but humoured him. “Let’s see... I forced the boys to bathe because they were stinking, baked cookies and bread, answered some emails, fixed Maxey’s toy truck, and watered the herbs. Why?”Abel and Regina exchanged a subtle glance.So she hasn’
