The Woman I once Love

When a wealthy and powerful politician gives his son an ultimatum-to either enter politics or produce an heir to inherit the family's empire-the rebellious yet cold-hearted heir chooses the lesser evil: fatherhood. But not through love or marriage-through a contract.

Enter Therease, a fiercely independent woman burdened by responsibility and driven by the need to support her younger siblings' education. Working for a discreet and elite child-bearing agency, she never expected her next client to be the man who broke her heart in college-the very man she never truly forgot.

Chosen for her compatibility, Therease agrees to bear his child in exchange for the financial security her family desperately needs. But what begins as a cold, transactional agreement soon stirs up the embers of a past romance. As old wounds reopen and sparks reignite, the two must confront the emotions they buried long ago-and decide if their second chance is worth risking everything they've built alone.

In a world where duty collides with desire, will love be the unexpected heir?
