Scenario:After my fiancé abandoned me when my family lost everything, I wanted revenge. A night of drowning my sorrows led me straight into the arms of his uncle—the most powerful man in the country. He called it a mistake, but his actions said otherwise. Every time my ex and his new girlfriend tried to tear me down, he stood by me, offering his silent strength and protection. I wanted to hurt my ex as much as he’d hurt me, so I faked a pregnancy and married his uncle. But somewhere between the lies, I found myself falling for the man I was never supposed to love. The weight of my secret finally broke me. “I lied,” I told him. “About the pregnancy. If you want a divorce—” “Why divorce?” he said, holding me tight. “You’re mine. Let’s have a baby now.”
