contractmarriage

Cassidy Calista married Ezekiel Theodore, the enigmatic heir to the world’s largest pharmaceutical empire. Their marriage wasn’t born from love, but from a deal between two powerful families. For four years, their relationship was nothing more than a contract—distant, cold, and carefully restrained. They lived like strangers bound by an unspoken rule: if either of them fell in love with someone else, the marriage would end—no questions asked. But when Cassidy caught Zeke with another woman, she didn’t ask for explanations. She simply handed him the divorce papers she had prepared from the very beginning. Zeke didn’t argue. He signed them—because he believed that’s what she truly wanted. He thought she wanted freedom… and from the way she looked at him, maybe she did. But once she was gone, something inside him broke. The silence of her absence made him realize the truth he had buried too deep— he had fallen in love with his wife — or ex wife. Now, after their separation, Zeke is haunted by everything he never said. And Cassidy? She’s carrying a secret. She’s pregnant. But with Zeke’s heart seemingly elsewhere, Cassidy is left with a painful choice: Should she tell him about the baby—or protect herself and disappear for good? Because as far as she knows, he’s already moved on. But what if she’s wrong?
