"She's wearing white. Why is she wearing white? I'm supposed to be the only one. Make her stop, baby!" a woman whines at my husband-to-be.

"You have to change," Abraxas says, kissing her temple is a caring and soothing way.

"Eh, why? Am I not the bride?" I ask in confusion.

Little did I know, the wedding was only the beginning of a nightmare.

Despite knowing it was a contracted marriage, I still entered into it full of hope that Abraxas Harlow would eventually fall in love with me.

Now that Abraxas knows my true identity, and he thinks he can win me back? Dream on!

“I don’t know,” I said desperately, my voice breaking. “I was there, yes, but I didn’t touch her. She—she slipped, James. It was an accident.”

“An accident?” he spat, his eyes narrowing. “Just like my sister’s death was an accident? Just like our baby—” He yelled, running a hand through his disheveled hair.

“Don’t,” I whispered, tears streaming down my face. “Don’t bring our child into this.”

“Why not?” he said, his voice rising, his eyes blazing with fury. “It’s the truth, isn’t it? You take life, Ella. That’s all you know how to do. My sister, my child, and now Victoria’s baby. It’s like you’re cursed.”

I was just a waitress working double shifts to pay for my sister-in-law's cancer treatment, until that brooding businessman Marcus Blackwood walked into my diner—or rather, until his eight-year-old son Tommy accidentally spilled orange juice all over me, and I didn't lose my temper.
The next day, an expensive lawyer knocked on my door: "Mr. Blackwood needs a wife. You need money. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement."
$850,000. A 24-month marriage contract.
My job seemed simple: live in his mansion, care for his traumatized son, play the perfect wife at business events. No emotional complications, no real marital duties—just an elaborate performance.
But nobody told me Marcus would stay up all night when I had a fever. Nobody told me little Tommy calling me "Mom" would feel so heartbreakingly sweet. And nobody warned me how terrified I'd feel when his ex-wife—the brilliant, beautiful doctor Elena—suddenly returned.
"She said she'd come back," Tommy clung to me desperately, "Are you going to leave too?"
Everything changed when I realized I was falling in love with the man who bought me. But is this feeling real? Or are we both just looking for substitutes for someone else?
When life and death forces a choice, I have to decide—fulfill the contract to the end, or run before my heart breaks completely...
