Three years ago, Evelyn Mercer had an unexpected one-night encounter with a stranger.
One lucky night led to ten months of pregnancy, and she became a single mother, raising her child all on her own.
Having lost her innocence, she was treated as a disgrace by her family, who wanted nothing more than to sell her off for a bride price.
To escape being forced into marriage with some lecherous old man, she brought her kid along to a blind date — and ended up in a flash marriage with a young stranger she'd just met.
With a marriage certificate in hand, they agreed it would be a marriage of convenience, each living their own life without interfering with the other.
But as time went on, something felt... off.
She kept her distance on purpose, yet this man found excuses every night to stay in her room.
She worked hard to earn a living, only for him to casually wave his hand and gift her an entire island.
As it turned out, her husband was worth billions — and she had become the wife of the richest man alive?!
Even more shocking: her daughter was actually *his* biological child?!
Just as she stood there with a head full of questions, the man loosened his tie, wrapped an arm around her waist, and said, "Honey, how about we make a little heir tonight? Then I'll tell you everything."
