Geena writes
“I'll give you everything you want in this world, just carry my child.” “What are you saying?” Anastasia asked, lips quivering with shock. “I’m saying, be Mrs. Moretti again, be my wife, and carry my child.” ************************ Anastasia’s perfect life turned out to be a sham after she found her husband cheating on her with his secretary and lost her child. But instead of remorse, her husband blamed her for it and stole her father’s company from her. This filled Anastasia with hate. She promised to make him bleed and pay him back in his own coin, but she had been swindled out of her family’s fortune and could only ask people for help. The only person who offered was her ex–brother-in-law. She knew the only person who could dare go against her ex-husband was his half-brother, so she agreed. But he had only one condition: she had to carry his child, and it had to happen within a year. “We just have to sleep together during your fertile window, and the moment you carry my child, we are done.” That was the agreement, but it wasn’t that simple. As the fire of revenge burned through Anastasia wanting to destroy her ex husband, she found herself burning for her ex-husband’s brother. But she didn’t want that, because behind the man’s cold demeanor lay a secret she couldn’t handle.
