"You're cheating?!" I thundered, my voice shaking the walls.
Jonathan scrambled off the bed, panic splitting his face. But Tara? She didn’t even flinch, she was calm—like I hadn’t just caught her with my boyfriend.
I wanted to believe my eyes were deceiving me, but the truth was clear. Jonathan, the man I loved, was cheating on me with my best friend!
The gift bag in my hand felt heavier now, a cruel reminder of why I had come. We were supposed to celebrate our one-year anniversary.
Instead, I discovered not just his betrayal—but his true intentions. To him, I was never more than a means to an end; a way to give him a child.
Desperate for money to save my father’s life, I signed a contract marriage with a stranger.
But I never expected that stranger to be Jonathan’s uncle.
