Substituent Bride

Ivory Finn has been in love with her boss, Axel Riggs, for five years—from the moment she spotted him in college. She worked hard to get near him, and soon became his secretary.

For two years, she did everything to make him fall in love, but nothing she did won his heart. However, after two years of heartbreak, he finally let her go. But Ivory never told him she was carrying his heir, and he had just sent them away. Three years later, she returns as a different person—a woman who owns multiple firms.

Can Ivory resist his alluring charms, or will she ruin her mother's happiness due to her ex-husband's—now turned stepbrother's—relentless pursuit?
