Introduction

My name is Shannica. I was abandoned... But I remarried. And I met this six-year-old child, Xenon, the young Chairman's son and the arrogant heir of Lincoln Family who I didn't expect that I would grow fond of. And as soon as I step inside their mansion, I have found my purpose in life and decided on one thing; 'I would protect this child and love him as my own.'

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.

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.

My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.

But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.

In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.

"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.

"Who the fuck is Jason?"

My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.

I ran away for my life!

But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!

They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.

Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”

There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
