"Cancer... stage four..." he whispered, drowning in a tidal wave of panic.

He remembered all those times she had clutched her stomach in agony, and he had mocked her. He remembered demanding she give her heart to his lover. He remembered her final silent words through the surgical glass: "I hate you."

"AHHH—!!" A raw scream tore from his throat. He slammed his fist into the metal drawer, blood blooming across his knuckles.

He collapsed beside her, pulling her stiff, freezing body into his arms. She was so light. Like holding air.

"Emily, I was wrong. I was so wrong," he choked out, crying for the first time in years. "Wake up. Hit me. Hate me. I'm begging you..."

On the way to escape, a stranger took away her virginity. She didn’t expect that the stranger was Jasper Milton, who was rich and powerful, as well as ruthless and cold. It was said that he didn’t love woman. However, it was not true. She was suffering from a sore back after having sex with him every day, and finally she couldn’t stand it, “You don’t need to be responsible for me anymore, and you are free now.” He sat by her bed, pulled her into his arms, and said gently: “Stella, are you mistaken, shouldn’t it be you who is responsible? " Stella Grace:”…"

You may kiss the bride," the priest announced and my body shuddered in resistance as the words I told him two days ago rang in my ears. I won't even spit on your face let alone marry you, Liam Knight. His eyes were shining in triumph, clearly stating that once again he won. He smirked cruelly, taunting me without words how he forced me to do exactly what I said I would never do even if he begged me. He didn't beg, on the contrary, he forced me to marry him. He took a step forward, raised my chin, I fisted my hand tightly at the sides when he placed his unworthy lips on mine. Disgusted with his touch but I tolerated it for the sake of my father who was at his mercy at this moment. He pulled away from my lips with the same rule smile intact on his face, "I made you mine, Babygirl and I can't wait for us to be alone!" He said darkly. My breath hitched looking at the darkness in his eyes. If I would have been the old Aurora I would be scared but not anymore. I might have bowed down my pride for my father but if he was looking for a submissive wife, he sure was not going to get one!

“Marry me, Leilani.”

“What?”

“We will have rules. There will be a contract.”

Eyes widened in shock, she muttered, “You want me to be your wife? A contract wife?”

* * *

After her Tinder date goes horribly wrong, Leilani heads off to join her best friend at a wedding. There, she meets a man with the strangest proposal ever.

A contract marriage.

A normal person would have said no but a lonely person would consider the idea. So, she says yes to this hot, handsome stranger.

Marrying a stranger wouldn’t be the worst decision she has taken. Or so she thinks, until she heads to the office the next work day and the head of department tells them the company has experienced a major change.

A change as major as getting a new boss, who also happens to be her new husband.

The rules were simple: Play the wife. Take the money. Walk away ruined.

Vera Bennett is a woman fueled by a singular, desperate goal: keeping her younger sister, Lily, safe. After they flee the neon-lit hell of Las Vegas, she believes they could finally start afresh.

But a sudden health crisis shatters the illusion, and Vera is forced to accept Silas Rutherford's proposal—New York’s formidable businessman widower and a notorious casanova. His offer is as cold as his heart.

A two-year marriage contract to save his corporate reputation, but leaves her ruined. Penniless and pregnant from a night of horror she cannot remember, by a man she never saw, Vera saw the marriage as a lifeline.

​Their fragile peace shatters when a shadow from Vera’s past deals her a cruel stroke of revenge and Silas learns what she has been hiding.

“Your damn mistake cost me my wife and child!” he thundered.

The marriage takes a dark turn as desire curdles into a thirst for vengeance.
​
Now, the contract has changed.

The man who promised to protect her becomes her judge, jury, and executioner.

​His new rule? Be his wife by day, and his bedwarmer by night.

But as the lines between hate and heat blur, Vera surrendered herself willingly.
​
Feelings begin to change and memories forged in the dark are beginning to creep in— Vera is not the only sinner in the Rutherford mansion. In the end, Vera realizes she's the victim of the very people she is fighting to protect.

It may be late when Silas realises two things: The real monster isn't the woman in his bed. The deepest stabs come from those who share your name.

Does the truth set them free, or bury them both?
