MasukAfter the one-night stand with a man who refused to tell her his name, Charlotte would figure out on TV that the man she had s*x with the previous night was the heir to a billionaire empire. At the same time, Jace Norman—the infamous Playboy heir—faces a public scandal that threatens his inheritance. To protect the family empire, his ruthless father forces him into an immediate contract marriage. And just like that Charlotte would get married to the spoiled, reckless son of the most powerful billionaire in the city. That one night, Room 55 and five thousand dollars she desperately needed would change her life forever. Weeks later, Charlotte discovers she’s pregnant. But before she can process the truth, her manipulative boyfriend claims the child is his and begins blackmailing her. As their fake marriage becomes dangerously possessive, secrets begin to spiral. An ex-boyfriend demanding money. Jace's jealous college lover is determined to destroy Charlotte. Charlotte's sister is hiding betrayal behind sweet smiles. And a billionaire father who will eliminate anyone to protect the Norman name. When a forged DNA test claims the baby isn’t Jace’s, the empire turns on Charlotte. But the truth is far darker than any of them realises. Because someone has been orchestrating every lie from the beginning. And when Jace finally discovers the baby is his… He will have to choose between his father’s empire— Or the woman carrying his heir.

“Yes,” Mr Norman said. “Or do you have a problem with the test?”“No, I don't. It's just unnecessary.”“Well, that's the last test that helps with a complete evaluation of what's really going on with you.” Mr Norman said.“Nothing is going on with me, I am completely fine.”“Okay, Charlotte, at least let the doctor confirm you are actually fine.”“He has carried out a series of tests. What more does he need for a final evaluation?”“A pregnancy test, that's what he needs.” Mr Norman said.He looked Charlotte in the eye, as he said “You may proceed, doctor.”“Sure sir, I will proceed right away.”“I'm feeling quite dizzy,” Charlotte said.“Dizziness is normal when undergoing medical tests.” The doctor said,“You heard the doctor,” said Mr Norman.“It's just a routine check, Mrs Norman, nothing quite serious.”“Wait, what exactly is going on here?” Jace said.But no one answered him.“You may proceed, doctor.” Mr Norman said.“Please extend your arms, Mrs Norman.” The doctor said to Cha
“Are you out of your mind?”“Not at all.”“That’s impossible.”“What’s impossible is you thinking you can walk away from this.”“I don’t have that kind of money.”“You’re married to it.”“That money isn’t mine!”“Then make it yours.”“You don’t understand—”“No,” Bruce interrupted, “I understand perfectly.”“If you don’t pay me…”“…I tell Mr Norman everything.”“Everything?” Charlotte asked.“The pregnancy.”“The timeline.”“And the fact that the child isn’t Jace’s but mine.”“Stop!” Charlotte snapped.“Good,” he said.“Now you’re listening.”“You’re sick.”“No,” he replied.“I’m smart.”“You said Mr Norman doesn’t know yet.”“He doesn’t.”“But he suspects,” Bruce added.“What do you mean?”“He’s not a fool, Charlotte.”“He already paid me once.”“He… what?”“You heard right, fifty thousand.”“He paid you?”“Not yet,” Bruce said.“But he agreed.”“That means…”“Yes,” Bruce said.“He knows something is wrong.”“This is bad, this is very bad,” Charlotte said.“So here’s how this works,”
“Just twenty-two hours?” What do I do now?”Charlotte's anxiety increased even more as soon as she got the text from Bruce.Dr Harrison walked into the living room from Mr Norman's office. “Doctor, what's the update? Is there anything to be worried about?” Jace asked Dr Harrison.“No Mr Norman, I am heading to the now, but would be back in two hours for further examination.”“Further examination?” Charlotte asked.“Yes Mrs Norman, Further examination.”“Is there anything I should be worried about?”“No Mrs Norman, everything is fine for now, I just need further examination to get my final verdict.”“Hmm okay.”“Alright, I will be taking my leave right away.”“Alright, doctor, we will be expecting your return.” Said Jace.Charlotte kept thinking of the text Bruce sent.“You have just twenty-two hours left.”“What is wrong with you?” Jace asked.“Huhhh what do you mean?” “You are always lost in your own head, what exactly is bothering you?”“It's nothing serious.”“Why do I even care?
“Hello… are you ok?” Jace asked Charlotte, who was sitting in bed, lost in thought after receiving the text from Bruce.“I am fine, I was just thinking about something.”“Spare me the details, you are supposed to have unpacked by now.”“Yeah, that's true, I think I forgot some outfits. ““Not surpr
