A freedom to choose who she wanted to marry was the only important thing that Xarra Salcedo asked for to her parents. But fate was really against her will. Because her father decided to set her into a fixed marriage no matter how much she disagreed to it. To avoid being in a wedlock with the man she didn't even like, she escaped. Xarra had learned that probably it wasn't the stars that holds our destiny, but ourselves. Because when she got the chance to be with Aeon Stewart--a drop-dead gorgeous city mayor, he opened her eyes to the reality that there was always a reason behind everything that happened in one's life. Even though her feelings for Aeon was genuine, she couldn't just forget that she was set marry someone else. The only way she thought that could work to free herself from her soon-to-be-husband was to find another man who could impregnate her. Would Aeon help her to do her plan? Or would the man refuse her crazy proposal? *** MATURE CONTENT: R-18 | SPG
