Contract Expired The Billionaire's Bitter Regret

PROLOGUE

Five and a half years ago, to save my dying mother, I signed a contract to become a wealthy heir's secret stand-in wife.

For two thousand days, I took care of Julian Vance’s every need. I raised his son, kept his home, and foolishly fell in love with him.

I thought if I gave him enough warmth, even a stone could be melted.

Until his first love, Chloe Harper, came back.

He welcomed her into our home without a second thought. He stood by as his son mocked my simple clothes, and he let the boy gift her the four hand-knit scarves I had spent years making.
