Who will lead India next?

On their wedding night, he teases her, “Sorry but you will have to be on top if you want to have a baby in ten months, according to the deal our family made."

All she wanted was to save her brother. And all he wanted was a child. He bought her, bound to a contract to give him a child and disappear from his life afterwards, but what hit her like a storm was love... falling for the masked monster who bought her body. Andrew Sterling hated greedy women, and every woman he'd contracted to bear his child, heir to the Sterling Enterprises, had been just that. When Anne, his third contracted surrogate, showed up, he saw her as the very same type of woman until she peeled open his stone-cold heart. What ties them next isn't just a baby contract, but an unexpected marriage formulated by Andrew's grandfather. But a man who has always despised marriage will never be tied down, not even by his contracted surrogate, because the minute she gave him the child he needed, he would send her out of his life. But when the tables turn on him... He says to her, "With a husband as rich as me, right now you're the wealthiest woman alive." "We're only married till I give birth," she retorted. He frowns at that, feeling internally displeased. "It doesn't matter how long we're married for. From now on, everything I own is yours. If you want heaven and earth, I'll buy it for you. My wife will never be found lacking a single fucking thing." She stared at him in disbelief. When did he start feeling something for her? He couldn't remember.

Cassidy Calista married Ezekiel Theodore—a young billionaire and heir to the world’s largest pharmaceutical empire. Their marriage wasn’t built on love, but on an agreement between two powerful families. For four years, their relationship remained cold and distant. No passion. No affection. Just an unspoken rule: divorce would only be an option if either of them fell in love with someone else. And that day finally came. When Cassidy caught Zeke getting close to another woman, she handed him the divorce papers she had prepared since the very beginning. Zeke signed them without a word—after all, he had once seen Cassidy embracing another man, and assumed she had found someone new. But everything changed. A month after the divorce, Zeke was consumed by regret. And worst of all, he realized—far too late—that he had fallen in love with his wife. Meanwhile, Cassidy faces a shocking truth: she’s pregnant. Now, she’s torn—should she tell Zeke about the baby, or keep it a secret forever? Because as far as she knows, there’s already another woman in his heart... Or is there?

However, as time goes by, he changes from being kind and affectionate. Then, due to Sung-joon's complacency, Hae-young's mother gets into a serious accident. Hae-young goes to Sung-joon, who was flirting with his best friend Min-ji at the time, and confronts him. "Did I know your mother would do that? If you care so much, you should take care of your mother. Why is it my fault?" Instead of feeling sorry, Sung-joon breaks up with her. After the breakup, Sung-joon and Min-ji appear on the dating program as if they had been waiting for it. They become the center of attention on the show by talking about Hae-young, and eventually become very popular. Hae-young, who was frustrated after losing 6 years, her mother, and her love, accidentally goes back to the moment right before her mother got into an accident. "Mom, don't come! Stay still!" She takes this opportunity to save her mother and vows revenge on Sung-joon and Min-ji. Hae-young plans to secretly appear on the same program as them and get all the attention they both enjoyed. The problem is finding a male friend who fits the program's concept of "appearing with a friend." A very handsome and well-made male friend. At that time, the man she had coincidentally encountered on the day she prevented her mother's accident loomed over her. Yoon-hyuk unexpectedly accepted the ridiculous offer she made, thinking, "No way." "Isn't there anyone around you as handsome as me?" "No. Are you having trouble being objective? Looks like you're rare." "Well, there might be. Maybe a friend you met when you were young, or someone who saved your life. Try to remember." Hae-young didn't realize it at the time. He was hinting that he had known Hae-young for a long time. The man who Hae-young had given all of her savings as a condition for his appearance was actually the fourth generation of a conglomerate. That's how Haeyoung and Yoonhyuk, Sungjun and Minji meet in "Friendship Romance"

Sofia Everhart was barely holding her life together. Crushed beneath a mountain of unpaid bills and the suffocating debt left behind by her late parents. She clung to the only thing she still had control over, and it was her vow to save herself for the man she would one day marry. But that fragile hope shattered the night she showed up at her boyfriend's house—only to find him in bed with her officemate, both naked, both shamelessly entangled in betrayal. In a single moment, Sofia's heart was broken and with it, the last of her faith in love slipped away. Humiliated, heartbroken, and utterly broke, she needed an escape. That escape came in the form of LUXE CLUB, the city's most exclusive club, an upscale haven for the wealthy and powerful. One dare became a bet. Sofia gave herself to a devastatingly handsome man. For one night, she let go of the pain, the pressure, the fear and surrendered her virginity to a stranger. Adam Ravenstrong, the billionaire CEO of Ravenstrong Holdings, was not the kind of man who made mistakes. He was calculated,, cold, and completely unattached, he kept women at a comfortable, manageable distance. To finalize the multi-billion-dollar merger, his future business partner imposed one absurd condition: Adam had to be married. He didn't want a wife. But he wanted to close the deal. As if the pressure weren’t enough, his business partner had taken it upon himself to not only arrange but choose the woman Adam was expected to marry—stripping away even the illusion of choice. He never expected Sofia Everhart, his soon-to-be wife, to be the same woman he had a one-night stand with. The one who vanished without a trace. The same woman he hadn't been able to forget. And suddenly, his face darkened, his eyes turning cold. Excerpt: "You can't be my wife," Adam said sharply, his voice like ice. Sofia lifted her chin, meeting his gaze even as her knees threatened to give out. "You just need an accessory wife, right? So what's the problem?" His expression hardened. "Because you're not a virgin. That was one of the conditions." The words cut like glass. The courtroom fell into stunned silence. The judge, his business partner, and her best friends frozen in disbelief, while Adam’s best friend shifted uneasily in the corner, unsure where to look. Sofia slapped him hard, furious at the fact that Adam knew he had been her first. And now, he looked at her with smug disdain, as if she were someone unworthy to become his bride. Then she turned around and walked out, refusing to let him see the tears stinging her eyes. She needed the money to save her parents' house. In three days, the bank would take it, and with it, the last memory of the family she had lost. She might have lost everything, but she would never beg. Not from the billionaire who took her virginity and looked at her like she was nothing. Adam stood frozen, yet an amused smile crept across his lips as he realized Sofia wasn't like the women who chased his name, his money, or his empire. She didn't cling. She didn't flatter. She walked away, and now, even though she needed him, she wasn't pretending to want him. Sofia needed his money. He needed a wife. And if she was bold enough to slap him and walk away, then she was bold enough to stand beside him in a world built on power, image, and illusion. Whether it broke her or not, Adam would make sure she played the role of his perfect wife. He vowed never to love, hiding his heart beneath the ice. She promised never to surrender, guarding her pride like armor. But when their hearts collided, neither shield could withstand the force of love. ————————————————— Disclaimer: This novel contains mature themes in later chapters. Reader discretion is advised.
