I never thought my life would come down to a single, desperate decision. When my mother collapsed from a heart attack and needed an emergency surgery that I couldn’t afford, I was left with no options—until I heard about Kieran Anderson. A billionaire. A man feared in the business world. And the groom left standing at the altar. I knew what I had to do. I walked into his office, dropped to my knees, and made an offer he couldn’t refuse. Marriage. It was supposed to be simple. A contract. A transaction. No love, no feelings—just cold, hard business. But then he whispered his first demand. "You will give me an heir." Now, I’m trapped in a world I don’t understand, tangled in a web of secrets, power, and a man who is far more dangerous than I ever imagined. And the worst part? I think I’m falling for him.
