My one night stand is my fiance's son. When I ask him to pretend nothing ever happened. He chuckles. “And what if I don’t want that, future-Mrs.-Guerrero?” My breath catches when he leans in close, his breath hovering over my ear. “Or… should I call you mother?”

Dans un bar, Léa Bernard a entendu Théo Marchand dire : « Léa est très belle. Je l'ai courtisée à l'époque, c'est parce qu'elle ressemble un peu à Élise Fontaine. Toutes ces années, j'ai toujours cherché l'ombre d'Élise en elle. » C'était alors qu'elle a compris qu'elle n'avait été qu'un simple substitut. Ce soir-là, elle a composé ce numéro qu'elle n'avait pas appelé depuis longtemps. « Allô, papa, j'accepte de rentrer à la maison pour le mariage arrangé. » Plus tard, Théo a revu ce visage qu'il avait tant désiré lors d'un banquet, et quand il a appris la véritable identité de Léa, il a complètement perdu la tête… Le jour où Léa avait refusé le mariage arrangé et avait quitté la maison, Alex Dubois s'était tenu devant la fenêtre, faisant tourner son vin rouge, un regard indéchiffrable dans les yeux, « Léa, un jour tu reviendras sagement à mes côtés. » On disait qu'Alex, l'héritier de la famille la plus puissante de Rivélys, était froid, austère et indifférent aux femmes, et Léa l'avait cru sans réserve. Ce n'était que plus tard que Léa a découvert à quel point Alex était fou derrière son apparence calme et austère.

A desperate young woman, Lucy, enters into a contract marriage with the cold-hearted CEO, Drey Jackson, to save her mother’s life. But as their lives collide, hidden secrets lie around Drey’s family, and a dangerous rivalry emerges to tear them apart. Stuck between love and loyalty, Lucy and Drey must navigate a treacherous path where trust is shattered, and survival becomes their only choice. Will they overcome the darkness, or will the price of love and power destroy them both? ******** “So, a contract marriage,” I said slowly, testing the idea. “What makes you think I would even consider something like that? And with you?” I asked, letting out a little laughter. She leaned in slightly, her lips curving into a small, confident smile. “Because it’s the perfect solution for both of us. You need the public to believe you’re happily married. And I need the money. We both walk away with exactly what we want—no strings attached.” I chuckled, feeling I was on the edge of it. “You’re a bartender. What makes you think you can play the part of a billionaire’s wife?” I chuckled darkly as my breathtaking face twisted into a Mona Lisa. “I can have you fired for this, you know.” She didn’t flinch, but I noticed her sweaty palms. She could lose her only surviving job if I wanted that to happen. It was obvious how desperate she needed money but I couldn’t just agree with her even if it was a good idea. “I think you’re misunderstanding me. I’m not some desperate woman trying to snag a rich man,” She suddenly snapped. She was only an inch away from me now, trying to avoid any direct touch. “We don't have to be in love.”

You give me what I want, I'll give you what you want…” “And what do you have that I want?” the lady before him asked. “Money, power, connection… I've been watching you for a while, Miss Braun. I thought you were docile and gullible and only does what that messed up family of yours asks you to. But after witnessing what you pulled today, my view about you changed…” “What does all these have to do with what I want?” “You want revenge, you want to deal with your sister and that prick for messing with you, you want to deal with that thing you call a brother for everything he has done to you, and your parents, they deserve a share of your rage too, for neglecting you…” “Get married to me, and I'll give you the money and power to get back at them." “What do you gain from this, Mr. Ferguson?” Gemma asked. “A wife…..What do you say to a two year marriage contract. Once the contract ends, you can do what you want with your life, no strings attached,” Derek proposed.
