LOGINLisa Carter has loved billionaire CEO Kilan Hart since the day his family took her in after she lost her parents. To her, he is her first love. To him, she is nothing more than the little sister he promised to protect. To secure the Hart family's future, Kilan's grandfather arranges a three-year contract marriage between them. The rules are simple: be the perfect husband and wife in public, keep emotions out of it, and under no circumstances have children. Lisa agrees, believing that even borrowed time with Kilan is better than no time at all. Then the impossible happens. She's pregnant. With twins. Before Lisa can tell Kilan the truth, the woman from his past returns. Manipulated by lies and convinced Lisa betrayed their agreement, Kilan ends their marriage, never knowing he has just abandoned his own children. Heartbroken, Lisa disappears and builds a new life, raising her twins alone while keeping their father's identity a secret. Five years later, everything changes when her young son is diagnosed with a rare bone marrow disorder. Doctors deliver devastating news: the best chance of saving his life is a bone marrow transplant from his biological father. With no other choice, Lisa returns to the man who shattered her heart. Kilan is stunned to discover he has twins—and even more devastated to learn that someone sabotaged Lisa's birth control and manipulated him into destroying the only family he ever truly had. As guilt turns into fierce determination, Kilan vows to save his son's life and win back the woman he never realized he loved. But Lisa has spent five years rebuilding herself. Forgiveness won't come easily. And when Kilan fights for custody of the children he never knew existed, love becomes the most difficult battle of all.

The years of separation. The threats. The trials. The fear.And now, finally, they were free.She reached out and traced the line of his jaw."I love you," she whispered.His eyes fluttered open, and he smiled."I love you too."They gathered in the kitchen for breakfast.The twins were already at the table, their faces bright with anticipation.

The sentence was delivered on a gray Friday morning.Lisa sat in the courtroom, her hand clasped in Kilan's, her heart pounding as the judge read the verdict. Marcus Webb stood in the defendant's box, his face pale, his eyes hollow. The cold confidence he'd worn throughout the trial had vanished, replaced by something that looked almost like fear."Marcus Webb," the judge said, her voice steady and stern, "you have been found guilty of stalking, making credible threats, and conspiracy to commit murder. These are serious crimes, committed against a woman who had already suffered greatly at the hands of your associates."Lisa felt Kilan's grip tighten on her hand."The court has reviewed the evidence, heard the testimony, and considered the impact of your actions on the victims. Your crimes were calculated, cruel, and designed to inflict maximum fear and suffering."The judge paused, her eyes fixed on Webb."I hereby sentence you to life in prison without the possibility of parole."The

She'd been dreading this day for weeks. The thought of facing Marcus Webb again, of sitting in the same room as the man who had terrorized her family, made her stomach churn.But she was ready.She'd spent years running from her fears. She wasn't going to run anymore."Are you sure you want to do this?" Kilan asked softly.She looked at him, her eyes steady."I've never been more sure of anything."They climbed the steps together.The courtroom was packed.Reporters filled the back rows, their cameras and notebooks ready.

He hadn't slept either.When his phone buzzed, they both jumped.He answered immediately, his voice sharp. "What's happening?"Lisa watched his face, her heart pounding. His expression shifted—tension, then relief, then something that looked almost like disbelief."Understood," he said. "We'll be ready."He ended the call and turned to her."They got him."Lisa's breath caught."What?""They got him. The raid was successful. Marcus Webb is in custody. No one was hurt."Lisa stared at him, the words slowly sinking in."He's... he's caught?""He's caught." Kilan pulled her into his arms. "It's over, Lisa.
