The CEO’s One-Month Wife
“One month, Brandon. Let me be your wife in every sense of the word.”
It was a desperate pact. For Elara Serace, it was a reckless hope—a chance to carry a piece of the man she loved with her forever. The only thing she would take from a marriage that was meant to be her punishment.
She knew from the start their union was never about love. The cold, commanding CEO Brandon Sterling only married her as atonement, a debt for a life lost. There were no tender moments, no shared glances—just the chilling silence of being a ghost in his grand estate.
Still, Elara endured it, clinging to the sliver of hope that he might one day see her. But that hope was shattered by the truth: he planned to cast her aside for his real love, the supermodel Seraphina Halloway. And his entire family applauded his choice.
Heartbroken and out of options, Elara made her one last bargain: one month of intimacy. One month… before she vanished without a trace.
Brandon thought it was a pathetic, desperate bargain. But that single month haunts him. The way she felt in his arms, the strength in her quiet eyes. Especially what she left behind—a secret legacy, a son with his own piercing blue eyes.
Now, Brandon is consumed by regret.
When the woman he threw away is finally within his grasp again, he finds she’s not his to take. She has a new life, a new love, and a child he’ll do anything to reclaim. But can he tear her new world apart to claim his legacy, or will he find it’s far too late to win back the family he never realized he wanted?
