contractmarriage

On the night Eva planned to surprise her husband with news of her pregnancy, she walked into a nightmare—Nathan, her loving husband, tangled in a kiss with his ex-girlfriend, Katherine. “What can I say? I only wanted to give him a child since you couldn’t do so yourself,” Katherine, his ex cooed. “You’re really stupid,” Nathan added. “We’ve been doing this behind your back even before we got married. Did you really think I would choose you over Katherine?” He asked, as if she was living in delusions. Eva was shocked to the brink but didn’t fight back. She was a renowned model and had lots of money to forget her so-called husband and raise her child as a single mother. Unfortunately, Katherine had seen the pregnancy scan Eva was holding, clenched in her hand. She arranged for Eva to be beaten up so badly she had a miscarriage, a broken leg and a battered face, then tossed into the river to die. Fortunately, she was found by Dante De Rossi, a billionaire who was being pressured by his family to find a woman so as to clear off gay rumors which was starting to tarnish his reputation. Dante offered Eva a simple deal. “Just pretend to be my woman, and bear my child. As soon as the rumors are cleared, I’ll assist you in whichever way you want,” he offered. Tempted, Eva agreed. With a new face, and a new identity, Eva makes a comeback to make Nathan and Katherine pay, but makes sure to keep focus on her main mission since she was a child. But what happens when Eva’s journey of revenge leads her from one discovery to another? And Dante? Is he involved in anything or will he protect his family, even from his pretend wife despite knowing fully well he can’t live a day without her?

What he doesn't know is that the heir the Tomb wants, the one he thinks he failed to bring to the world, is already growing inside me.
