The Contract's Heir

Love was never part of the deal. But keeping him a secret was.

At seventeen, Zayra Althea Solis made a choice no one should ever have to make-she agreed to become someone else.

To save her younger brother Eliam, who is battling leukemia, Zayra accepts a dangerous offer: impersonate Seraphine Villanueva, the mysterious faceless writer engaged to Kael Vantrez Morales.

The price? Her identity.

The reason? She was never the woman chosen to be loved. She was only a replacement.

Kael Vantrez Morales is twenty-seven. A powerful CEO. A ruthless businessman. A man who follows his family's orders in exchange for the one thing he has always wanted-his parents' approval.

Even if it means marrying a woman he has never met.

Under the same roof, Zayra and Kael agree to play their roles. A fake engagement. A perfect lie. A marriage built on a contract.

They'll pretend they feel nothing.

But what happens when pretending starts to feel real?

Until the day Kael discovers the truth.

And on that same day, Zai loses the only reason she had left to stay.

She disappears.

Alone. Broken. Carrying a secret beneath her heart.

No Kael. No Morales name. No more world of wealth, power, and lies.

Three years later, fate brings them face-to-face again.

She's a waitress.

He's a customer.

And between them is a question neither of them can ignore:

"How long were you planning to keep my son from me?"

Because Kael never fell in love with Seraphine Villanueva.

He fell for Zayra Althea Solis.

And now, for the second time, she has hidden the truth from him.
