Once the cherished daughter of a renowned chef, Rhea’s world fell apart after a heartbreaking tragedy left her with nothing.

HEIR-that is the only thing that Elijah Theodore Martinez, thirty, needs. An heir who can secure all the wealth of his wealthy family. But the problem is that the heir is the only thing he wants, not a mother for his baby or a woman who can make his bed warm. He doesn't want any commitment or relationship with any woman because, for him, all women are the same as his mother. All women are trash and don't deserve any ounce of love from men. A woman is a user like his mother, who left him and his father when his father experienced a financial breakdown. All women are only a thing for him that he can use when he needs them, but throw away easily when he doesn't need them at all. Until he met Eliana Grace Herrera, twenty-seven, a breadwinner for her five younger siblings, who were left with her when their parents died in a car accident. For her, she will do everything for her siblings, even becoming the billionaire's surrogate.

Kane Porter was as boring as his name implied. Of all the financial coordinators under me, he was the one least likely to be interesting on an intoxicated evening. Kane was quiet, well-mannered and nobody was friends with him. I was his boss and I got along well with everyone until I came across a problem. The account I'd been skimming from had a good hunk of change missing now. Not good. How could I have it investigated without flagging myself for the ten thousand dollars I'd 'borrowed'? There was only one thing I could do. Porter was a nice guy. He'd help me out. No one could be safer to ask...

I was diagnosed with Neurogenic Wolf Spirit Atrophy. In half a month, I would be dead. The day I received the diagnosis, I decided to give up treatment and donate my body to the Central Research Institute after my death. Through the mind link, I reached out to my brother, whom I hadn’t seen in six years, hoping he would help me sign the papers. He sneered and cut off the link without any hesitation. With the Spirit Severance Donation Contract, a formal waiver of my right to have my wolf spirit returned to my pack's sacred grounds after death, I crossed countless territories alone to the high-ranking city where he resided. He had been promoted to commander of the Silverfang Patrol, basking in glory. He casually signed the document without even looking at me, then said with chilling indifference, “Don’t ever come to me again. Given how ungrateful you are, I can't be bothered to give you a proper burial." I nodded lightly. “I understand.” He did not know that the money for his treatments in the past years had come from me. Now, there were only seven days left until my death.
