family

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?

When I first came into the book, my goal was just to survive as a doomed character. So I worked hard. I stayed out of trouble. I smiled when needed. I was ready to walk my own golden path. But then- "Wherever you go, I'll follow. If you try to leave me...I won't allow it." That's what the side character, who was supposed to die, whispered as he clung to me like a lifeline. His eyes were disturbingly sincere. "I can't stand without you. Got it?" And that was only the beginning. "I'll kill anyone who disrespects you again." My older brother, the male lead, said that with a gaze far too sharp to be comforting. "You're one of my people. No one will dare lay a hand on you." That came from my sister-in-law, the heroine herself, as she patted my head like I was a treasured pet. "I'm looking forward to dining with you, son." That was from my mother. The same mother known as the empire's coldest, most terrifying woman. But the real problem? My father smiled at me, amused, and then said. "Independence? Go ahead. Try it. Just know that if you leave, I won't let a single ant survive on this land." They're all acting wrong. Too wrong. This wasn't in the book. I swear, I only did my best...!
