Miss Desperada

Lunarelle Salazar never asked for fairy tales. She didn't dream of rings or romance. What she wanted was simple-brave: a child. No drama. No heartbreak. Just a piece of her soul, cradled in tiny hands. A life she could call her own.

Meanwhile, Eiron Chans Neville was drowning in expectations. A powerful family. An empire. And a mother whose health was slowly slipping away-refusing treatment unless he gave her one thing: A fiancée. A future. An heir.

His inheritance depended on it. His freedom is threatened by it. So he searched. Not for love-but for someone willing to pretend.

Then one day, in a fine-dining restaurant he technically owned, fate walked in wearing beige and stern glasses: Lunarelle Salazar-now the manager. The same woman who once rejected his request for help during college. Cold. Precise. Unapologetic.

But now, she was the one asking for something.

A favor.

A child-without a love story attached.

She thought he'd refuse. Out of pride. Out of revenge. But instead, he agreed. On one condition:

Pretend to be mine.

A fake engagement. A shared secret. A win-win.

She gets her baby. He gets the biggest share of his family's company. No strings attached. Just a deal.

But as they play pretend, will something quiet begin to stir? Can a love, long buried in silence, finally rise from the spaces between borrowed smiles and unspoken truths?
