In a world where dreams and values often clash, a young woman on the edge of financial collapse is presented with a life-changing offer from a powerful, mysterious CEO. He wants her to be his wife—at least in the eyes of the world. It’s a convenient arrangement, one that promises wealth, security, and a way out of the mess she never should’ve been in.

Caught between sticking to her principles and the temptation of a life she never imagined, she’s faced with a decision that could change everything.

The Sugar Daddy Proposition

By the time we finished dessert—a decadent chocolate torte and a sweet liqueur that left me blissfully full and just a little tipsy—Edward stood, smoothing his sweater with a contented sigh.

"As much as I've enjoyed this evening, I'm too old to stay up late," he said with a twinkle in his eye. "I'll leave you two to finish your drinks."

Mark and I stood with him, the warmth of the evening lingering between us. "Goodnight, Dad," Mark said, stepping forward to pull his father into a hug.

Edward looked slightly surprised but smiled warmly, patting Mark's back. "Goodnight, son. And thank you—for tonight." His voice was low, but the emotion in it was unmistakable.

When Edward turned to me, his smile softened. "Abigail, thank you for humouring an old man tonight. You made this feel... festive."

"It was my pleasure," I said, smiling as I leaned in to hug him. He returned the gesture warmly, surprising me with the strength of his embrace.
