 years old Zara Klein was forced to marry, and produce an heir for 41-year-old Kai Adler, who has three months left to live; to save her father's company from bankruptcy. She had to keep up with Kai's inhumane treatment, got pregnant with his child and quietly anticipated his death. But their lives took a drastic turn when Kai miraculously got cured of his illness.



Marriage Pact

I could tell Michael was frustrated even before he had opened his mouth. The pacing back and forth across the room was a surefire confirmation of my suspicion. He was angry, and quite honestly, so was I. 


"Kai's out of his mind if he thinks I'm letting you anywhere near him," Michael snapped, razor-sharp, running his hand through his hair. "This isn't happening." 


I leaned against the edge of the desk, crossing my arms. "Michael, you know this was always a possibility. He's not going to let this partnership happen without leverage, and I'm that leverage." 


His eyes met mine, fierce and protective. "That's exactly why I'm saying no. You've already put yourself in danger once. I won't let you do it again." 


Sighing, I tried to speak as calmly as possible. "This is not about letting me do anything, Michael. This is my choice. And if that's the only thing that would help obtain the evidence we need.then I'll do it".
