ANMELDENDrugged. Framed. Betrayed. Petra Hudson thought the worst night of her life ended when she escaped a trap set by her husband and Vanessa Shaw - his sidechick. Instead, it left her divorced, penniless, and fighting alone to save her comatose mother. When a one-night encounter with a mysterious stranger leaves her unexpectedly pregnant, Petra's shattered world is turned upside down once again. But the stranger isn't just any man. He is Benjamin Shaw—the ruthless billionaire CEO, the most powerful man in the country, and a man believed to be sterile. “You don't have to worry or take pills. You won't get pregnant." Benjamin assures her. “Because I’m sterile.” But two months later, after she is divorced and struggling to take care of her mom at the hospital, Petra discovers she’s pregnant. And not for anyone else. For the same Benjamin Shaw – the same billionaire thought to be sterile. It turns out to be a twist of fate. The same Benjamin Shaw is Vanessa’s adopted father. Now, with Petra carrying his child – the now heir to the Shaw empire, Vanessa is bound to lose everything.

Men and women gathered around the luxurious seating area cheered at his performance while raising their glasses.“Come, let's drink!” he shouted excitedly as he swayed his body to the rhythm of the music. “Tonight we celebrate!”The people around him laughed.“Here, Mr. Clay.” A young woman standing nearby danced closer with a bright smile on her face as she stretched a filled glass of whiskey toward him. “Have a drink!”The man, Wesley Clay, grabbed the glass from her hand and emptied half its contents into his mouth before throwing his head back dramatically.Cheers erupted around him.He laughed loudly and continued moving his shoulders to the music.Then his eyes landed on Petra.She was seated quietly a short distance away from the group.Unlike everyone else in the lounge,
“Petra, you didn’t come home last night.” Mary thundered, pointing accusingly directly into Petra’s face. “Were you fooling around with some man?”The hospital room instantly became tense.Petra sat frozen beside her mother's bed, still holding the divorce papers. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her supposed mother-in-law.How could this woman stand here and accuse her after everything they had done?Before Petra could even respond, Mary suddenly bent closer and grabbed the collar of her gown. Her fingers tugged the fabric aside toward Petra's chest.A faint red mark was visible on her skin.Mary's eyes lit up immediately.“Ha!” Mary snapped, her voice loud enough to draw attention from everyone in the room. “Everyone, look! That man from last night left love bites on her neck!”The accusation echoed through the room.On the other side of the ward, a middle-aged woman who had been resting on her hospital bed slowly turned her head toward them. The woman wasn't looking a
Hubert West was lying on top of Vanessa on the couch, their lips locked together in a heated kiss while his hands roamed possessively around her body. A short distance away sat Wendy Hudson, Petra's mother, in her wheelchair, tears streaming endlessly down her cheeks as she cried helplessly. Neither Hubert nor Vanessa paid any attention to her as they remained completely engrossed in their romance.The front door suddenly opened and Petra stepped inside. The moment her eyes landed on the scene before her, she froze completely. Her husband was making out with another woman. Worse still, they were doing it openly right in front of her mother. The sight was so shocking that for several seconds she couldn't even process what she was seeing.Neither Hubert nor Vanessa noticed her presence.Wendy's crying continued to grow louder until Hubert could no longer tolerate it. No one knew exactly why the old woman was crying. Perhaps it was because she was hungry. Since the previous day, an
They fell back onto the bed together, the stranger's weight pressing down as his hands pinned hers gently against the mattress. Petra stared up at him, her heart pounding wildly inside her chest. Even through the haze clouding her thoughts, she couldn't ignore how strikingly handsome he was. Despite being in his early 40s, Benjamin’s sharp appearance couldn’t be possibly missed.His sharp features, dark eyes, and commanding presence seemed unreal.But her mind was no longer her own.The drug coursing through her system continued to blur her judgment and weaken her resistance.Neither of them was thinking clearly.Benjamin was intoxicated by alcohol.Petra was trapped under the influence of something far more dangerous.Their gazes remained locked for several long seconds.The pounding on the hotel door outside had stopped.The hallway had gone silent.Benjamin lowered his head and captured her lips again.
