MasukBlurb Desperate times call for dangerous bargains. Diva Scott has nothing left to lose. With her mother’s life hanging by a thread and a costly surgery she can’t afford, the last thing she expects is a proposal from a powerful stranger. Julius Baron...cold, arrogant, and the heir to a construction empire, needs a wife to secure his place in his family’s ruthless succession battle. His offer is simple: a contract marriage for money. No love. No intimacy. No complications. But one reckless night shatters every rule. As their fake marriage begins to draw suspicion from Julius’s powerful family, Diva and Julius are forced to play the role of a loving couple. Heated arguments turn into undeniable sparks, and the line between pretense and passion begins to blur. Just when Diva thinks she might understand the man behind the arrogance, betrayal strikes, secrets surface, and enemies close in. Cast aside, pregnant, and heartbroken, Diva walks away only to find unexpected kindness from the last man she should trust: Julius’s own brother. But love, once ignited, refuses to die. When lies unravel and deadly revenge threatens everything, Julius must risk it all to protect the woman he once pushed away… and prove that their contract marriage was never just a deal. Because escaping her contracted husband was easy. Escaping his love… is impossible.
Lihat lebih banyakDiva's point of view I sat on the edge of the bed, my body still, my hands trembling slightly as tears slipped endlessly down my cheeks.I just couldn’t believe it.I’d lost my virginity.The thought alone cut deep...painful and unbearable.But what hurt even more… was not knowing who had taken it from me.“Diva, think!” I snapped at myself, my voice low but sharp in the silence.I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing my mind to go back, to remember, to piece it together.But it was blank.Empty.The only thing that surfaced… was the after party.Then slowly, like fragments of a broken mirror; something began to form.I saw myself… standing alone in a corner.And then, a man.His face, blurred. Unfamiliar. Not someone I recognized. Not anyone from Julius’s family.He held a drink in his hand.“Hi,” he had said.Simple. Casual.And then he offered it to me.I took it.I drank. Just a sip. And then, Dizziness.The room spinning.Darkness swallowing everything.That was it.That was where it
Julius’s Point of View“Fuck!”My fist slammed hard against the wall, the impact echoing through the room as anger burned through my veins.Who the hell did I just sign a contract marriage with?A goddamn prostitute.How could she… how the fuck could she do this to me?!That bitch...Diva, has guts.She brought a man into my family house… and slept with him.Right under this roof.And then, She poured that crimson stain on the bed. A setup. A calculated, disgusting lie.To make it look like she’d been raped… so I’d let it slide.“Fuck!” The word tore out of me again, harsher this time.What if she had been caught?What if someone had seen them?What if that bastard Silvester saw it?What would I have told my parents?My hands dragged over my face, pressing hard against my skin as the image of those stains flashed in my mind again, vivid and unsettling.And then…Fragments of memory crept in.What happened when I woke up.The blur. The confusion.The feeling.My breath hitched.Could it
Diva's point of view I stared at the crimson-stained bed, shocked, surprised, terrified… no words could fully capture what I felt.Even now, I couldn’t explain how I ended up in this room.There had been an after-party after the wedding. I attended, along with Julius’s family members. Everything had gone well, except I remembered getting drunk… and collapsing against a tall, dark-skinned man.That was all I could recall.But whatever happened after that… I woke up this morning to the cruel truth—someone had taken advantage of me.I had lost my virginity.The one thing I had promised myself to give only to the man I loved, on my wedding night.A wave of devastation crashed over me.It felt like my world was crumbling right before my eyes. That virginity… it was something I had held so dearly. My pride. A piece of me that made me feel whole in a world where my father and brother were no more.And now… it had been stripped away by a stranger.“How did this happen?” Julius asked, his voi
Julius's Point of View"It's too urgent, please..." she tried to speak, but I cut her off."I'm not begging you for this," I said sharply, then glanced at my wristwatch and added coldly, "There's still time for you to tell your family, if you even have any."Her face fell instantly.Was she upset because I questioned whether she had a family left? But was I wrong to say it?**Earlier that day**"Dad, I'll be getting married in two days," I announced the moment I stepped into his villa.His eyes widened, shock flashing across his face. And honestly, who wouldn't be shocked?Two days ago, this same man, my father had looked me in the eye and said he was planning to make my elder brother his heir. My elder brother. The lazy, extravagant fool who had done nothing but drain money from the family name, while I had bled sweat and time to build this empire with my own hands.To my utter surprise, my father had given me an ultimatum: "Get married, then you and your brother will compete to prov
Diva's point of view “Follow me,” he ordered, his tone leaving no room for argument.And before I even realized it, my feet were obeying. Moving against my will. As though his voice carried chains that wrapped around my ankles.I trailed him down the stairs, every step heavier than the last, until
Diva's point of view A thousand thoughts crashed into my mind all at once, clawing for answers I didn’t have.Who was this man, standing so tall and unshakable in front of me?Was he here to help me?Help? The very word felt foreign on my tongue. How could a stranger, someone I knew nothing about,
Diva's point of view I stood frozen in a dim hallway of the hospital, my eyes locked on the relentless red light blinking above the surgical ward, each flash hammering into my chest like a cruel reminder of how close I was to losing her.Tears spilled freely, hot and unrestrained, as I thought of
