Carrying The Ruthless Tycoon's Secret Heir

“For three years, Chloe Beaumont played the perfect contract companion to billionaire Julian Sinclair, enduring his coldness just to pay her sick mother's astronomical medical bills. Then, a positive pregnancy test shattered her fragile reality. When she carefully asked him about the future, Julian's eyes were merciless. He coldly stated that any "accidents" outside their contract would be immediately terminated. Before she could even hide the truth, a photo of her used pregnancy test was leaked on the company's internal chat during a high-society gala. Assuming she was using the baby to force a marriage proposal, Julian brutally severed their agreement. He kicked her out of his penthouse and his company, leaving her with absolutely nothing. Fleeing back to her shabby childhood apartment, her nightmare only deepened. Her abusive stepfather learned of the pregnancy and tried to extort her. After Julian's security team ruthlessly chased the man away just to protect the corporate image, the desperate stepfather retaliated in the worst way possible. He sent Chloe a horrific video of a bribed nurse unplugging her mother's life-saving oxygen tube. "Twenty-four hours. One million dollars. Or her next breath is up to you." Her doctor had just warned her that an abortion would leave her permanently infertile. She was carrying her only chance at a family, while her mother was suffocating on camera. Why did three years of absolute obedience and sacrifice only lead her to this suffocating dead end? Staring at the glittering city skyline, Chloe gently placed a hand on her flat stomach. She had to get that million dollars, even if it meant making a deal with the devil.”
