Maria Davis is ready for an arranged marriage on the pretext of investment in her father's company. What she never saw coming was Emilio Bianchi coming with the perfect offer. All he wants for her is to be a perfect family addition to make his grandparents happy. And, to never demand his time.
Maria believed she could do this. It was her first time seeing how family could feel after her mother's demise. And, falling for her husband felt right. She knew she had bewitched her husband with her charms until his dead ex-lover stopped being dead.
"Yes, I get she is alive. But I am your wife. We have a family. I am pregnant and you wanted it too. You said,..."
"Yes, I did. I know you will be a great mother Maria but things are changed now. I will not blame you for not wanting this baby but I can double your decided alimony if you birth it for me now."
"What?"
"You don't have to worry about it. You can start your life over. Find someone who can love you as much as you can love someone."
"Don't..."
"Maria..."
"Don't."
"I..."
"Do not decide for me. I will figure it out, Emilio. I will figure it out for me and my child with or without you."
 Maria had learned nothing could make Emilio look at her as his wife. But she wished it could go on forever. And, she had believed it would be forever when he told her so. If she knew something about Emilio it was he never gets back on his words. But everything was changed once his ex-lover was back. Everything was shattered. From his dotting wife he was proud of she was back to a bride who was up for sale to secure her father's company. She was nothing. Her love and her care were nothing. She had lost everything to a woman who could have Emilio's heart for simply existing. The only thing she was left with was her unborn child and she was ready to open the hell gates on earth to claim her baby. And, nothing could come her way this time. Neither Emilio's wealth nor her father's greed.

"Quick, kiss me." I choked on my baguette as I looked up at my boss, his intense grey eyes burning into me as my jaw fell open with a mouthful of chocolate baguette. "What?" I snapped, was it just me or did my boss suddenly lose his mind? One minute he was talking about rescheduling the meeting booked at two and then he said kiss me, maybe he said something else, maybe it was miss, bliss, piss? But all the thoughts in my head were swiped away as he stood up from his chair, his tall frame hovering over me before he grabbed my arm so roughly the baguette I was holding fell out of my grip and he pulled me upwards, and the man I have worked for three years and never touched suddenly was pressed against my chest as his lips met mine. And the piece of baguette in my mouth only made me choke further. * * * Gabriel Parish needed the wealth that came when his grandfather passed away, but there was a catch, he had to be married, or have a wife of some sort for at least two years, and the 29 year old bachelor had no intention of ever getting a wife, they were too complicated.

-- PROLOGUE "Let me get this straight. We have nothing in between us, except for the deal we made that day" he spoke in a monotonous tone. "I am the one carrying your name behind me; we are married. how can you say we have nothing in between us? Huh" She yelled at him, tears blurred her vision, and she spoke her heart to him. "For god's sake, this marriage was to save you! Can't you get that? I did not do it willingly, I do not love you!!" He yelled back at her, shattering her heart into pieces. "Why can't you just love me?" She spoke, as she cried the tears of hurt, and pain. Her heart thumped loudly due to the shivering sensation She felt all over her body. "I never made a commitment to you, or gave you any false hope, neither did i say that i love you. Did i?" He asked her, in a very cold tone. She looked at him through her teary eyes. It's getting difficult for her to even breathe. "It was your eyes, the damn eyes. Who gave me the false hope. They say, "Eyes speak the truth," but what about mine? Couldn't you feel the sincerity within them, expressing my deep affection for you? Why didn't you see the love shining in them? Was it too complex to understand? Couldn't you notice the warmth as they gazed at you? They search for you in every corner, If only you realized how they silently echoed the emotions I couldn't articulate. They say, "Eyes never deceive." But what about yours? They played a trick on me when they met mine, painting a facade of a world that wasn't real. They made me feel loved, Leading me into a belief that crumbled, louder than your spoken promises. Why did they betray me? Was it your eyes or you that masked the truth?" He stayed still, not moving or saying anything at her statement. --
