Contract Marriage

She only wanted to save her marriage. He wanted to forget he had ever believed in love. Myriam Bennett had it all: a successful husband, a comfortable life, and a future that seemed perfect. The only thing missing was a child… but what for her was a dream, for her husband was nothing more than an obligation. After several failed treatments, she received the cruelest proposal of all — to conceive a baby with another man, at any cost. Gerald Lennox is cold, solitary, and completely devoted to his work. After a painful betrayal, he locked his heart away. But one night, his best friend drags him into a reckless game… and a bet leads him to share a bed with a woman he doesn’t know and never intends to see again. What neither of them imagines is that this encounter will change their lives forever. When fate brings them together once more, the truth threatens to explode. Can love blossom between two people bound by a lie? Or will the past condemn them to lose everything? An intense story of second chances, forbidden secrets, and a love that was never meant to be.

Chapter 0: Introduction: Did I Sleep with Another Man?
“—We need an heir!” the old man declared in his deep voice. “Otherwise, someone will replace you,” he warned.The strong echo reverberated down the hallway of Jacob Wilson’s house. Myriam startled and stopped at the doorway of the family office. She had been looking for her husband and had caught her father-in-law’s demand.Her heart clenched. She drew in a long breath and pretended she hadn’t heard anything. She went downstairs and sat on the living-room sofa as if nothing had happened. But at the mention of children, she remembered how at one time she had thought that having a baby might strengthen her marriage. Yet God hadn’t granted her that chance: she had never become pregnant. And although the problem wasn’t hers, she had carried it in silence.With the years, she had let go of that obsession. She understood her in-laws’ desire to be grandparents, but she never imagined they would go so far as to threaten her husband for not giving them an heir.She had married Ray at twenty-on

Chapter 1: Is My Sister Your Mistress?
The news of the pregnancy pleased Raymond; however, when he learned it was a high-risk gestation, he decided not to share it with his family until he was sure his wife wouldn’t lose the baby.Because of Myriam’s condition, he was in a foul mood. On medical advice, they could not have intercourse.“You look very tense,” commented Noemí, Myriam’s half-sister.The woman worked as Raymond’s assistant at Myriam’s own request. Despite the terrible relationship between them, Myriam had decided to give her half-sister one last chance.“Did you bring the report I asked for?” Ray asked, without looking at her.“Of course,” she replied. She walked over to the desk and, as she placed the folder on the table, she leaned forward, flaunting her deep cleavage. “I’m far more efficient than my little sister,” she muttered resentfully.Ray’s gaze slid shamelessly over her voluptuous breasts. He arched a brow.“Interesting,” he murmured, letting his eyes travel down the length of her body.Noemí was slim

Chapter 2: Farewell and Divorced
Several days had passed since the rumor of Myriam’s supposed infidelity had spread. To Raymond’s family, she was guilty. Everywhere she went, she thought she heard whispers branding her as immoral. And yet, though she no longer shared a bed with her husband, she decided to remain in the same house to prove her innocence.At the shipping company where she worked, news of her pregnancy had already circulated, but there were no problems—until that morning. When she entered her office, she found an envelope on her desk.Myriam opened it and read the word: Dismissal. She frowned, assuming the cause was the scandal, and headed straight to her boss’s office.“Mr. Hamilton, I would like to know the reasons for my dismissal,” she said, not daring to cross the threshold.The man adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat.“As you know, for months now we’ve been struggling with low revenue, and we need to reduce staff,” he explained, motioning for her to come in and sit. “You deserve a better s

Chapter 3: This Will Teach You Not to Lie!
The next day, Myriam headed to the Lennox mansion. At the entrance, she introduced herself as Mrs. Isis’s new assistant.Immediately, one of the staff led her through the impressive gardens of the enormous estate. She noticed a huge pool, beautiful rose bushes, and a wooden pergola in the middle, where a stunning, attractive woman lounged on a comfortable sofa.“Mrs. Isis, this is the woman Mr. Gerald sent,” the employee announced.Mrs. Lennox removed her sunglasses and looked Myriam up and down. She noticed she was young and beautiful and assumed her stepson had sent her to spy on her, since their relationship was far from good.Myriam blinked in surprise, realizing that her boss’s stepmother was far younger than she had expected. She didn’t like the way Isis looked at her, but she needed the job, so she offered a smile.“I’m Myriam Bennett, your new assistant,” she said, extending her hand.With a disdainful gesture, Isis shook it perfunctorily.“I hope you do your job well,” she sa

Chapter 4: A Man Without a Heart!
“How are you feeling?” Elsa asked the next day, gently stroking her friend’s face.“Better,” Myriam answered in a fragile voice. “Thank you for saving my baby.” Her eyes welled with tears.“You need to stay calm and work less,” the doctor reminded her. “I warned you that your pregnancy was high-risk.”Myriam pressed her lips together and stroked her belly.“You’re right, but if I don’t do what they ask, I could lose my job,” she sobbed.“And if you keep working like this, you could lose your baby. Think about it,” Elsa cautioned. “I’ll discharge you now,” she added, leaving the room to check on other patients.Myriam sighed deeply and closed her eyes. Then she remembered she had to get back to work. She picked up her phone, which a nurse had returned to her minutes earlier, and saw a new email. A chill ran down her spine when she realized it was from her boss. Covering her mouth with her hand, she discovered she had been fired.“This can’t be!” she cried, tears streaming down her face

Chapter 5: I’m Going to Sue You!
The next day, after breakfast, Myriam called Isis to let her know she would arrive late and headed to the law office Elsa had recommended.She was nearly four months pregnant now, and her belly was beginning to show.Upon arrival, she walked slowly down the hallway and knocked on an office door.“Come in,” a man’s voice called.Myriam turned the knob and stepped inside.“Good morning,” she greeted, studying the man behind the desk.“Hello,” he replied, looking at her intently. He stood and smiled. “Myriam?”“Rubén?” she exclaimed. The two embraced warmly.“It’s been so long since we finished high school,” he said.“It has,” she answered with nostalgia. “I never imagined I’d find you here.”Rubén looked at her affectionately, noticing her pregnancy.“I’m glad to see you again,” he said sincerely. “What brings you here?” He gestured for her to sit.Myriam settled into a comfortable sofa, cleared her throat, and recounted everything that had happened over the past two months.“Wow, it al

Chapter 6: I Don’t Want to See You Again!
Isis laughed out loud at the news.“I can’t wait to see Gerald’s face when you do it,” she said, tilting her lips in amusement. “You should teach him a lesson. Anyway, you may go now.”Myriam smiled.“Shall I help you with the little one?”Isis shook her head.“I don’t want you making any effort. I don’t want problems,” she explained. “I’ll ask one of the maids to take him to his room. Good afternoon.”“Rest well,” Myriam said before leaving.With the advance payment Isis had given her, Myriam decided to buy herself a dress. None of her old ones fit anymore and, if she had to face Gerald Lennox, she would do it on equal footing. She wasn’t about to let that stone-hearted man keep humiliating her.She went to the mall and spotted a red dress—beautiful and elegant, the perfect balance of sober and refined. Besides, she thought that with a few adjustments, after giving birth she could wear it again.****“Good morning.” Gerald arrived at the company, greeted as he stepped out of the elev

Chapter 7: I Can’t Stand You!
Myriam let out a sigh.“Would it be all right if I give you an answer tomorrow?” she asked. “I need to think it over.”“Perfect, take the afternoon off,” Isis suggested.The first thing Myriam did after leaving was go to the bank and open a savings account. Then she stopped by Elsa’s clinic and told her what had happened with Gerald.“He takes advantage of you because he knows you need the money,” Elsa protested indignantly, embracing her tightly.“He’s heartless. From now on I’ll call him Gerald, heart of stone. Although I hope I never see him again,” Myriam said.Elsa pursed her lips, took off her doctor’s coat, hung it on the rack, and invited Myriam to dinner.That night, alone in her room, Myriam wondered if she was doing the right thing going back to work for Isis. Then she remembered Jeremy’s sweet face and how much fun they had together. That’s how she decided to return to take care of him.****Gerald was sitting at the bar of a pub, drinking whisky alone. The words Myriam ha

Chapter 8: You’re Obsessed with Me!
“Since the day I caught my ex-husband with another woman, I decided to change and never again be the same fool I once was. No man will ever humiliate or mistreat me again—and that includes you, Gerald Lennox,” she declared, lifting her chin.“That’s not true!” he exclaimed. “You’re obsessed with me, that’s why you won’t stay away from my family and keep finding excuses to get close,” he said, his lips curling in disdain.“Just what I was missing,” Myriam muttered indignantly, one hand on her waist. “The only reason I’m near your family is Jeremy,” she retorted. “I only hope that when he grows up, he won’t turn out like you. He’s noble, tender, with a good heart.” Her eyes softened with affection. “The only bad thing is that he sees you as his idol—he admires you. I just hope he doesn’t follow your example,” she added firmly.Her words pierced Gerald like daggers. He looked at his little brother, who returned smiling with the soccer ball.“Leave,” he ordered Myriam.She waved goodbye t

Chapter 9: You Have to Help Me Deliver!
“Help me,” she begged between gasps. “I can’t find a taxi.”“I knew the day would come when you’d lower your guard with me,” Gerald said.Myriam lifted her tear- and sweat-streaked face.“I’d rather give birth in the street,” she growled through clenched teeth, “than… ask you for help,” she finished, clutching his arms tightly as another wave of pain tore through her.Gerald squeezed his eyes shut when her nails dug into his skin. It hurt, but there was no time for complaints. Without hesitation, he scooped her into his arms.“What are you doing?” she demanded. “Put me down!”He set her down as ordered—and another contraction bent her over. She saw him heading toward his car.“Where are you going?” she shouted. “Are you planning to leave me like this?”Gerald exhaled, rolling his eyes.“Who can understand you? You said you’d rather give birth in the street.”“You’re such a—ahh!” she screamed in pain, grabbing his hand. “I’m scared,” she whispered, trembling.Gerald froze. Seeing her s
