Chapter 1

Elina’s Pov Entering the new cafe that had just opened down my workplace, I inhaled the smell of freshly brewed coffee and sighed in relief.It was a small shop with nice aesthetics and the smell? Urghhh….. divine.It was just what I needed after a very chaotic and stressful morning at the office. I started walking to the counter, my eyes on the cupcakes displayed, but halted as something hooked my clothes.I turned to look at what stopped me from moving, and my eyes fell on a beautiful set of blue orbs staring up at me with her fist clenching firmly on my clothes.“Mummy,” she said and instinctively, I looked around for her mother but didn't find anyone near the both of us.I returned my gaze back to her and found her eyes locked on my face. I raised my eyebrows, curious as to why this little girl was looking at me.Did I have something on my face? I brought my hand to my face and brushed my cheeks. Nothing was on my face.Something wasn't right.She was looking at me as if she was

Chapter 2

Elina's Pov“I had a very bad day. Are you almost done with work? I can come pick you up, then we can have dinner together,” I said to Lily, my best friend.“I will be done in an hour. Buy Starbucks on your way. Love you,” she said before ending the call.I should change from my work clothes and put on something comfy. I stood up from the couch and walked inside my room. This was one of the biggest rooms aside from the dining room. Nanny gave me this room when she realized I wouldn't be going anywhere. I stripped from my work clothes and went under the shower. I let the water wash away my stress from work. After 10 minutes, I cleaned up and pulled on an ash jogger and a black polo. I braided my hair in a French ponytail, grabbed my card, and left the orphanage. I had to wait outside Lily's workplace for about 30 minutes, waiting for her. She was working in a law firm. Yes, she is a lawyer. A very good and crazy one at that.“Have you been sitting here for a long time?” I heard her

Chapter 3

Elina’s PovHe turned slowly, finally facing me. And I froze. His piercing eyes locked onto mine, calm but unreadable. There was something unnerving about his stillness— like a storm waiting for the right moment to erupt.“You don’t know me?” he asked, his voice low and deep.My grip tightened on the pepper spray. “Should I?”He took a few steps forward, unbothered by the fact that he had clearly trespassed. “I came to find you, Ava. You have been running for a long time.”My heart pounded. What was he saying? Did he come to the wrong house?“That doesn’t answer my question. Who are you and how did you get inside my house?”He stopped just a few feet away from me. I could finally see his face clearly under the dim lights of the living room. He had a Sharp jawline. Messy black hair. Cold expression.“I am Ethan Stark, and I entered through the door,” he answered, and he didn't seem moved by anything.“Well Ethan, it seems you got into the wrong house. So please if you don't mind, yo

Chapter 4

Elina's PovThe moment the door clicked shut, I collapsed onto the couch, the photo still clutched in my trembling hands.What the hell just happened?I stared at the picture again— I was smiling as I held the twins in my hands. Like they were mine. Like I was their mother.But I wasn’t. I couldn’t be. Right?I shook my head furiously, trying to push away the heaviness forming in my chest. No. This had to be some elaborate mistake… or worse, a setup.I had never given birth. Never had children. And I sure as hell never abandoned any. I would never do that.So how could a complete stranger walk into my house and accuse me of that?My mind went to Lily. She would know what to do. She could help me look into it. Maybe she would get answers. Maybe this Ethan guy was just some stalker with a fabricated story and a fake photo. Yes. That made more sense. It had to make more sense.I grabbed my phone and dialed Lily’s number. One ring. Two. Then it went to voicemail.I tried again. Still not

Chapter 5

Elina's PovI also laid on the floor with her as things started breaking inside the house and stones were thrown inside.My phone went off on the couch and I crawled to get it. An unknown number flashed on my screen.I picked it up and put the phone against my left ear.“Sorry, this is a bad moment to call,” I said immediately. I answered and was about to take the phone off my ear to end the call.“Are they there already?” I heard Ethan's name and I paused.“Did you send them to kill me?” I asked. Lily, hearing me, moved closer to where I was. “No. I didn't tell them to kill you. They just want their money,” I heard his cocky voice from my end. I scoffed. “They would have never come to destroy my home if someone didn't tip them to do so,” “You are smarter than I thought. You know what to do. You either pay them their money or the orphanage gets pulled down. And we both know you can't pay them because you don't have the money and you are jobless,”“I would have paid them if you hadn

Chapter 6

Elina's pov I didn’t sleep.Not even for a second.I couldn't even close my eyes. The events from last night kept playing over and over in my head.From the shattering of the windows, the bulldozer coming in to pull down the building, Lily getting injured from the attack, to my trembling hand signing away my life to a man I know nothing about.The marriage contract. To Ethan StarkI stared at the ceiling from my bed since I came to my room last night. My eyes were hurting from staring at the ceiling for too long but I couldn't take them away. I was afraid that once I closed my eyes or took my eyes off the ceiling, I would fall right back to the attack. It scared me so much.A sharp knock on the door jolted me upright and I blinked my eyes.I threw the blanket over me, stood up from my bed, and went to the living room.Lily was already at the door and had opened the door. Her arm was bandaged now but her posture was stiff. She had stayed over with me through the night.She turned to

Chapter 7

Elina's pov Ten minutes later, I was sitting in the back seat of Ethan’s car, heading toward a life I didn’t choose.Ethan was sitting beside me, silently scrolling through his phone like I wasn’t even there.I clenched my fists on my lap and broke the silence between us. “Why are you doing this?”He didn’t look up from his phone and he answered me. “Because I need a wife. And you owe me.”“There are thousands of women out there who would beg for that position and title. Why me?”He turned slowly to me, locking his cold piercing eyes with mine.“Because you are the perfect punishment.”My heart dropped. “Punishment… for who? For what?” I asked, confused.But he didn’t answer, he looked away from me, his attention going back to his phone and his lips curling slightly.“I need to know why you are doing this,” I said and he dropped his phone on his lap, facing me.“You have my attention now,” he said, his eyes looking at me with resentment. “What did you say again?”“I don't know why yo

Chapter 8

Elina's povThe drive to what I think is his house was a long one. It was filled with uncomfortable and awkward silence. I stared out the window during most of the drive while glancing at Ethan once in a while. Other than his name and who he was, who I didn't even know fully, I knew nothing about him. Yes, he was handsome, painfully handsome with a sharp jawline, nice features but other than that he was ugly, on the inside. His heart must be black. So black that it might have affected his sense of reasoning. Come to think of it, who marries a woman only a day of knowing except a psychopath. He doesn't look like one but it isn't written on the face so one might not know. “Are you done staring?” His voice jolted me from my thoughts and I blinked, coming back to my senses. I realized I have been staring at him for a long time. The car was not moving now.“Ummh sorry,” I said as I dropped my gaze from him. “Babe,” he said and I looked at him back in confusion. “What?” I asked in

Chapter 9

Elina's PovI promise.The two words echoed in my head as I hugged him. Why did I promise them that? Why on earth will you do that Elena? They are not yours.They pulled away and Camillia spoke. “Come, Mummy, let's show you our rooms,” she said, pulling my hand. I looked at Ethan and he nodded for me to go ahead with him. I turned back to look at Cam who was excited. Such a sweet soul. I smiled at her and stood up from the couch and went with her with Jayden following closely behind us. She led me through the hall and stopped in front of a door. She opened the door and stepped inside. I followed her and stopped in my tracks as I took in the room. It was simple but undeniably girly. The room was painted white but it was beautified with soft pink curtains framing the windows, swaying gently with the breeze.There were stuffed animals neatly arranged on the bed, like they had their own order. There was a small vanity sitting in the corner, cluttered with tiny clips and ribbons a
