Introduction
Though it all started with a loveless marriage between me and his father... We became a family and I started loving not just the kid, but also the young Chairman, Xander Lincoln, who longed for his dead wife up until now.
Will I be able to stay on their side for a long time? When will Xander open his heart and see me as his wife? Will I just remain as the billionaire's remarriage contract wife or our love will grow and turn into reality?
Chapter 1
He's the CEO.
I'm his employee.
He's a billionaire.
I'm a nobody.
He's always been beyond my reach.
And I'm out of his league.
I am Shannica Cion Marquis-Holstein, or should I say Shannica Cion Marquis-Lincoln? In just a glimpse of imperfection, my life turned into upside down.
I thought my life was perfect. I was loved by the man who is beyond perfection... And I'm happy and contented with my three-years marriage with my man.
But suddenly...
"Divorce my son, Shannica." My mother-in-law Madame Jenna said.
"M-Mom, why are you suddenly talking about divorce? Jayce and I are doing fine..." I answered confusedly.
She look at me with a furious look,
"Three years is enough! I can't let my son stay in a childless marriage with you!"
I'm out of words,
"I-Is that the reason why you're doing this? Mom! Jayce and I are working on it, j-just give me a little time---"
SLAP!
"Can't you really understand what I'm trying to say, Shannica?! You're the problem here! We've accepted you although you came from an ordinary family, you should have atleast do your part on giving the Holstein Family a heir!" Madame Jenna shouted at me.
My tears went down from my eyes as I remain silence in front of her.
She sigh, "Don't make me the villain here Shannica and just divorce Jayce."
I shook my head, "No... We love each other, mom. Jayce and I won't file for divorce just because you said so." I bravely answer.
"Huh, love?" She chuckled.
"Oh come on, dear. This isn't about love. Your marriage with the Holstein is simply a business. And you're useless to this family if you can't give Jayce a child!"
Madame Jenna handed me the divorce papers and ask me to sign it, but instead, I grab the papers and crumpled it.
I ran away and decided to see my husband, Jayce. He's my only hope, and I know he would fight for our relationship.
But on my way to see him in his office....
Just as I place my hand on the doorknob, I hear voices. My husband with an unfamiliar voice.
Two voices blend together, and my heart quickens when I recognize Jayce's voice. A groan escapes from one of them and I gasp when he murmurs something that completely shocks me.
"A-Aah you feel so good, Xena. Dang..."
I loss my sanity after hearing the girl's name. Xena, that's my bestfriend's name.
"Oooooh aaaah you're so big, honey. S-Stop, someone might come in. Shannica might come and visit you.."
"Relax, babe. We got all the time in our hands."
"B-But what if she'll caught us-- ooooh!" she whines as I saw Jayce suddenly suck her left n*pple.
"No, she won't. So let me have you inside baby aaaaah." He coaxes her.
"Maybe you're right, be gentle, you knew that I'm already carrying your child inside aaah..."
A scream erupts from my throat. I take a few steps back until my back hits against the wall. I suddenly felt like my heart has been ripped apart after hearing what Xena said....
They cheated on me.
And in worst cases, she's carrying my husband's child.
"I'm sorry, Shannica." that's the first words that comes out from Jayce's mouth right after I caught their sinful act.
And right from that very moment, I knew that I was being abandoned by the man who I wanted to spent for the rest of my life. So I decided to sign the divorce papers and left everything for good.
Every day, every hour, every minute, and every second of my life, I feel tormented. I feel disgusted by myself.
What's wrong with me?
Why can't I bear Jayce's child after living for three years with him?
Why do I have to end my marriage like this?
I became miserable. I neglected my job, and was chased by some loan sharks.
Until one day....
"Do you want to be my wife, Ms. Marquis?"
A sudden question comes out from my boss' mouth. The high and mighty young Chairman of Lincoln Group of Corporation, Xander Van Lincoln, a 30 years old single dad raising a 7 years old kid on his own.
"I will pay all your debts. In return, marry me, and become the mother of my son."
Did you read it right? He's asking me to consider remarriage with him, am I right?
And just like that, I was given a chance to meet the cold and arrogant sole heir of Lincoln Group, Xenon Vast Lincoln.
"Get lost. You... Will never be my mother." the young master Xenon said in a cold eyes looking directly at my eyes.
I smiled, who would know that a childless divorcee like would end up loving someone else's child?
After my failed marriage, I became hopeless. I felt like I was nothing, and my life have no value anymore.
But then, because of Xenon... I found a new purpose to live.
I want Xander and Xenon to be happy...
I want to see Xenon's bright smile on his face...
And if it's too much to ask, I want a live again, and raise Xenon as my own.
Though we're not blood-related, I'll do my best as his stepmother. I will protect him, and give him love he deserves.
And I'll take on the fatherly duties to watch over Xenon instead of his father Xander himself.
Xenon and I will become a true family.
But...
"You're not just Xenon's mom. Have you forgotten? You're also my wife." Xander seductively whisper on my ears as the two of us are lying on bed.
I started to feel this weird and overwhelming feelings towards Xander... Every move he makes flutters my heart and give butterflies on my stomach.
Again, this is the story I'm about to tell you...
The story that started after.... I enter into the billionaire's remarriage contract.

On Christmas Eve, I aborted the CEO's child
On Christmas Eve night, my husband brought his mistress home and demanded that I, his pregnant wife, leave with nothing.
On this day, I lost my husband and also lost the child in my womb...
I Loved You in Silence, You Betrayed Me in French
At my birthday party, my husband whispered to his mistress in French that he missed her. His voice was low, but I heard it all—the black lingerie, the bit about how pregnancy makes you more sensitive. His French clients around us were laughing. He turned and put his arm around me, claiming he was just helping his clients come up with sweet nothings.
He doesn't know I understand every single word. Just like he doesn't know that inside my body, I'm carrying his other surprise. And his mistress—she's pregnant too. Two wombs, one secret.
Confrontation would be too cheap. Tears are worthless. I quietly started cataloging the hidden networks my father left behind, activating the Swiss accounts.
In seven days, Zoey Smith will cease to exist. And what will my husband's reaction be?
He Never Loved Me, Until I Left
I put away the divorce agreement with a wry smile.
When he and my son completely disappeared, he finally panicked.
Three months later .
He knelt down on the streets of Chicago in despair, begging me to remarry him.
My six-year-old son looked coldly at his biological father and said, "Get lost, you bad uncle! You don't deserve to be my dad!"
When I Disappeared, He Regretted It
The moment the screen lit up, my entire world came crashing down.
The woman on the bed was Calista - that girl who grew up with us since we were kids. And that hand caressing her skin was wearing the wedding ring I had personally put on Matteo's finger.
"I've missed you so much..."
"You drive me crazy, baby..."
Those sweet words I knew so well completely destroyed me.
Everyone said we were the perfect couple, but who knew this marriage was built on nothing but lies?
Since he's so good at acting, I guess it's time I gave him a show of my own. I'm going to make sure everyone sees what this "perfect husband" really is...
He Thought I'd Never Leave
When he said he was being bullied, I believed him. When he kissed me on that rooftop, I thought he felt the same. When he asked me to transfer schools with him, I said yes without hesitation.
Then I heard him bragging to his friends: "She'd save her first time for me. Hell, she'd still be thinking of me on her wedding night."
The bullying was staged. The kiss meant nothing. He just wanted me gone—so his new girl could feel more comfortable.
He thought I'd beg. He thought I'd cry. He thought I'd never actually leave.
I left the country.
And ran straight into his stepbrother.
I Died While They Threw Her a Party
Their real daughter came home. She'd only been back two years. That's all it took to erase twenty-four.
When kidnappers grabbed us, I used my body as a shield. They beat me until something inside me ruptured. I was dying from internal bleeding, but no one could tell.
My parents wouldn't even look at me. "This is your fault! None of this would've happened if it weren't for you!"
"Get downstairs and apologize to your sister. If you can't, pack your things and get out."
They threw her a party at a downtown hotel while I died alone in my room.
I thought they'd be relieved. Maybe even glad. I thought they'd just move on like I never existed.
But when they finally learned the truth, they fell apart.
Bury Me in His Regret
The kidnapper pressed the gun to my temple and asked, "Choose your wife or your sister-in-law?"
Zachary didn't hesitate. "Let Valerie go," he said.
He actually chose to save his sister-in-law! In that moment, even the baby in my belly seemed to stop kicking.
Later, they locked me in the basement. Drugs to delay labor were pumped into my veins over and over. Zachary wanted to save the "firstborn son" status for his sister-in-law's child.
When warm blood finally soaked through my skirt, I dialed the number I knew by heart with shaking hands.
"Zachary," I whispered into the phone, "our child... can't wait any longer."
The Kidney That Killed Me
A few months ago, my sister was hospitalized with kidney failure. The doctor said she needed a transplant. My family's first thought was me—the backup daughter they'd kept around all these years.
When my husband Allen took my hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Only you can save her," I agreed without hesitation.
When the doctor explained the surgical risks and potential complications, I smiled and nodded my understanding.
My parents said I'd finally learned what sisterly love meant.
Even Allen, who'd always been cold to me, held my hand gently and said, "The surgery's safe. You're so healthy, nothing will go wrong. When you recover, I'll take you to Hawaii."
But they don't know that no matter how the surgery goes, I won't be around to celebrate.
Because I just got my own test results—I have terminal brain cancer. I'm going to die anyway.
After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
