CHAPTER ONE — EVERYTHING I OWNED WAS GONE

POV: Myra CarterI walked up the front steps of my childhood home with my mother's prescription folded in my palm, and the moment I pushed the front door open, two men in gray uniforms were already carrying our dining room chairs past me toward a large white truck parked on the curb."What is going on here?" I asked, stepping back into the doorway so the man carrying the heavy end wouldn't run into me, but he didn't even look at my face as he kept walking toward the driveway."Bank repossession, miss," the taller man said, pointing a clipboard toward the living room where my brother was standing near the empty center rug with his head down. "Everything on the list has to go today, so you need to move out of the way before someone trips over you.""Leo, where is Mom?" I called out, rushing across the bare floor toward my younger brother, and he slowly pointed toward the back bedroom before wiping his eyes with the back of his hand."She's in her room crying, Myra, and I didn't know wha

CHAPTER TWO — THE MAN WHO BOUGHT A YEAR OF MY LIFE

POV: Myra CarterI spent the entire next morning getting ready in the small bathroom of the cheap motel where I had checked my mother and brother in after the bank officers locked our front door, and I pulled out the simplest black dress from my suitcase because it was the only presentable outfit I had left to wear to the appointment.The address the agency sent me led straight to the top floor of a private medical center in the middle of town, and when the elevator doors opened, three other women were already sitting on the long couch in the waiting area, all of them wearing expensive suits and holding leather bags while they talked quietly among themselves."Are you also here for the surrogacy interview with Blackwood Enterprises?" one of the women asked, turning her head to look at my simple dress while I walked over to take a seat on the chair near the glass door."Yes, I received an email confirmation last night after I submitted my application," I said, smoothing down the front

CHAPTER THREE — WELCOME TO HIS WORLD

POV: Myra CarterThe bank agent's warning was still ringing in my head when the black car sent by Aiden's lawyer pulled up to the house two days later, and after I finished helping my mother and brother settle into the quiet rental apartment I had secured with the initial contract payment, I loaded my single suitcase into the trunk and took the long drive to Aiden's estate.When the car stopped in front of the main entrance, a housekeeper in a plain uniform immediately stepped out to meet me, taking my bag from the driver while she looked at me with a polite smile on her face."Welcome to the house, Miss Carter, my name is Sarah and I manage the staff here," she said, motioning for me to follow her through the front doors as she carried my bag down the hallway. "Miss Celeste picked out the flowers for the front entrance this morning, and she left instructions for us to show you directly to your room so you can unpack before dinner.""Thank you, Sarah, is Aiden or Celeste at home right

CHAPTER FOUR — THE FIRST HEARTBEAT

POV: Myra CarterFour weeks went by fast in the guest wing, and on the morning of my second checkup appointment, Celeste was stuck at a charity planning committee meeting across town, so Aiden had to drive me to the medical clinic by himself.The nurse guided me into the examination room, and after I lay down on the table, the doctor applied the clear gel to my stomach and moved the monitor probe around until a loud, rhythmic beating sound suddenly echoed through the small room.I looked up at the screen with tears flooding my eyes, and I thought I would only feel relieved that the procedure had worked for the sake of the contract, but hearing that tiny life inside me made my throat tighten up completely.Aiden was standing right next to the table, and the moment the sound filled the room, he froze completely, his eyes locked onto the black and white image on the screen while his usual stoic face broke into pure emotion.Without saying a word, he reached down and took my hand into his

CHAPTER FIVE — I WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO MATTER

POV: Myra CarterBy the third month of my pregnancy, a quiet routine had formed between us, Aiden started sitting at the breakfast table with me every morning before he left for his office."How is your mother doing after her checkup yesterday, Myra?" Aiden asked, setting his coffee cup down on the table while he looked across at me."She's doing much better, Aiden, the doctor said her test results are completely stable," I replied, taking a small bite of my toast while I looked back at him. "I'm hoping that once this year is over, I can save enough of my remaining money to rebuild my father's business.""You have the determination for it, Myra, and you've shown you are much stronger than anyone gave you credit for," he said, giving me a rare, genuine smile before standing up from his chair.That weekend, Aiden's extended family came over for a formal dinner, and while we were all sitting around the long dining table, his aunt looked directly at me with a sharp smirk on her face."So,
