On the day they registered their mariage , he made her sign a divorce agreement and a contract for a fake marriage She was to act like his loving wife until Morgan passed , and then she had to move out . Dylan had told Olivia back then he would never fall in love with her , and he would never be intimate with her . is that it's He already had someone he loved , and he planned to stay faithful to that person . He'd told Olivia that if she couldn't handle the loneliness , she could find someone else as long as she wouldn't let Morgan find out about this . Olivia had thought their marriage would stay like two parallel lines , never crossing . She never expected Dyin to change his mind and want a child with Clivia rushed to shower , changed into a sexy nightgown , sprayed on a sweet perfume , and turned on the bedroom's mood lighting . She carefully prepared for their first night together . But when Dylan came home , he brought another man into the bedroom . As Olivia stared at him in shock , Dylan shoved the stranger toward the bed and said coldly , " From now on , you sleep with him . He leaves the moment you get pregnant . " Olivia's chest tightened in pain as she stared at Dylan in disbelief . " You want me to get pregnant with another man's child ? " Dylan's voice was icy . " What else do you expect ? You didn't actually think I'd be the one to get you pregnant , did you ? Don't kid yourself . " I told you on our wedding day - I'll never sleep with you . My body and soul belong to Chloe . You're not worthy Olivia felt like the floor had dropped out from under her . She should've never held out hope for him . She had looked forward to tonight , only to be met with humiliation . She murmured , " But Morgan wants us to have a child . If he finds out- Dylan cut in sharply . " All you need to do is get pregnant and let Grandpa see you carry and give birth to the baby . I'll take care of the paternity test . He won't find out anything . " Olivia clenched her fists , her nails digging into her palms . Dylan said impatiently . " Stop wasting time . Just get started " The stranger gave Olivia a small nod and started shoving toward her . Maybe because real heartbreak didn't come with screaming and tears , Olivia felt oddly calm , She asked , " So it doesn't matter who the father is , as long as it's not you ? Fing I find someone myself , but I'm not accepting the man you picked . If you don't agree to that , I won't cooperate . " If she had to get pregnant by another man , at least making the choice herself would let her hold on to one last shred of dignity . 1/3 Chapter 1 Dylan stared at her coldy for a moment , Something Aboil her calm expression made him inexplicably feeling unsettled him . It was a while before he finally spoke , you have three months , if you're not pregnant by then , I'll send a different man to your bed every day und you With that cruel , heartless warning . Dylan walked out with the other man , Olivia let out a bitter laugh . Dylan's cruelty i y made her old crush feel like some kind of criminal record she couldn't even admit to She thought , " He doesn't have to love me , but he doesn't get to humiliate me . There's no reason to hold on to this anymore ! Olivia went to a well - known private club . By the time she was i clipsy and dazed , she saw a tall man in a work uniform walking past her , glancing around She reached out and grabbed him . Riding the wave of her drunkenness , Olivia said , " Hey , handsome , it's getting cold tonight . Want a hottie to keep you warm ? The man looked a little speechless . He stared at her for a few seconds before slowly asking " You recognized me ? " Olivia , drunk and swaying , shook her head . " That doesn't matter . I don't want to know your name . I just want to know what you sound like in bed Julian Hudson smirked and scooped her up . " Don't regret it later , " he said , The dim room was thick with heat and breathless tension that lingered long into the night . It wasn't until the early morning light slipped through the gap in the curtains that Olivia finally stopped Julian from going any further . Julian teased , his voice low , " You're done already ? What happened to all that bald talk last night ? " Olivia , her breath unsteady , said , " I was short - sighted last night and just wanted a one - time thing . But now I think long - term investment gives better value . We've got time . " She raised her soft hand and gently traced his chiseled features . Her fingers slid down along his neck and over his firm chest . This man , both in looks and physique , was elite - tier " Stick with me ," she said . "T pay you thirty thousand dollars a month . Deal ? " Julian narrowed his eyes , something unreadable flickering in them . " Are you trying to keep me ? " Olivia corrected him , " You could also call it saving a lost soul . You need money , and I want your body . We're a perfect match , aren't we ? " Julian raised an eyebrow . " What makes you think I need money ? Olivia replied as if it were obvious , " If you didn't need money , why would you be working as an escort at that club ? " Julian went quiet . Last night , to avoid being followed , he had passed by a locker room and grabbed a change of clothes without thinking . He hadn't realized it was a uniform for one of the club's escorts He looked down at Olivia's stunning face beneath him and asked with a half - smile , " You really think I'm only worth thirty thousand a month ? " Olivia stared at his face for a moment , then remarked , " With a face like yours , thirty grand's definitely too low How about this - I'll bump it up to a hundred thousand a month " That's a solid deal - and I'm not exactly hard on the eyes , either . Sleeping with me isn't exactly a downgrade for you . " Julian's eyes narrowed slightly . Still basking in the lingering heat between them , he spoke with interest , " Three hundred thousand a month . I won't take a penny less . " Chapter 1 Olivia studied his face as she thought about it for a moment . " Three hundred is too much . I can't give you an answer right now : Let Trucki Info . I'll get back to you within a day . " After leaving the hotel , Olja drove to Novara Ginup . Inside the CEO's office , Dylan was icy cold . When he saw Olivia walk in , his face darkened with irritation . " Why are you here ? Didn't tell you not to come to my office ? " Olivia sat down in the chair across from him and demanded calmly , " Wire two million dollars to my account . Once I get the money , I'll lea Dylan frowned . " What do you need that much money for ? " Olivia replied , " I've got my eye on a man . I want to keep him for three months . Six hundred thousand a month , plus some other expenses it adds up to two million . " She was just the middleman taking a cut and she figured there was nothing wrong with that . Dylan's face became even gloomter . " I'm your husband , not your father . You're asking me for money to keep another man . Don't you think that's a little forward ? " Olivia answered with complete confidence , " You won't sleep with me , but you want me to get pregnant . I haven't mastered asexual reproduction yet , so have to go out and find someone else to do what you're supposed to . " That means you're paying for it . If you don't give me money to get another man , I guess I'll just have to use you , my husband , for free . " Disgust flickered across Dylan's face . " Keep dreaming . I only married you to please Grandpa . I don't love you . The only one I love is Chloe . " Olivia said casually , " I don't care who you love . I might not be able to get your heart , but if I want your body , I've got the energy and means to make it happen . " And don't forget , I've got Morgan on my side . If I asked him for help , do you think he would force you to sleep with me ? " Dylan's face became grim , veins bulging on his forehead . " You've been putting on quite a show . I never realized you had such a sharp tongue . " Olivia scoffed mockingly , " Back when I still loved you , I put you on a pedestal . Now that I don't , all I see is a nutcase . " I don't need to please you anymore . This is how I'm going to talk to you from now on . You'd better get used to it . And if you can't , then suck it up " Dylan's expression turned stormy with rage . " What's wrong with you today ? You sound completely deranged ." Olivia tapped the table and urged , " Enough with the nonsense . Are you paying up , or are you planning to offer yourself instead ? " Dylan sneered , " What , you're trying to provoke me into sleeping with you ? Forget it . My body and soul belong to Chloe . You'll never have either . " He clicked away at his computer , Then , a notification popped up on Olivia's phone - two million dollars had been transferred into her account . She glanced at the message , then looked up at Dylan . " You're so into Chloe Lane , so loyal , so ready to play the long game for her . " The thing " Is it
