They Called Me Barren, I Married A Billionaire
They Called Me Barren, I Married A Billionaire
“Her husband divorced her for his pregnant mistress. For six years, Marion Rhodes gave everything to her marriage. Then Julian Hart blamed their divorce on her inability to have children and made sure the world knew she was the barren ex-wife who wasn't good enough. Humiliated and abandoned by everyone she trusted, Marion walks away from the Hart family and returns to painting. Then billionaire heir Bastien Beaumont offers her a marriage of convenience. He needs a wife to secure his inheritance. She needs protection from the press. The rules are simple: no love, no jealousy, separate lives and an expiration date. But Bastien becomes her friend. He makes her laugh, supports her dreams and never treats her like she's broken. Soon, friendship turns into attraction. It isn't meant to be serious. They're just two friends who happen to be married, scratching an itch. Until Marion gets pregnant. The woman Julian discarded for being unable to have children is now carrying the billionaire's baby. But with Julian wanting her back, Nadia determined to ruin her and their contract nearing its end, Marion has no idea whether the family she's building will survive. Their marriage had an expiry date. Then Marion fell pregnant. And fell in love.”
