On her twenty five birthday, Zara Kingston got an ultimatum - Win the Competition Or Marry to the man her father arranged for her. With utter disbelief and shock she accepted, since she was confident enough to win. However after losing the competition, she thought this wouldn't be a matter of discussion after the suffering she went through. But her entire life crumpled upon when she learned that not only her best friend's child was her long term boyfriend but also her family sold her to the Cruel Mafia, Dominic Antonio. To get back on them, she broke the first condition - She lost her virginity to a stranger. However, like a twisted fate, she faced a major outcome of her action. Will she be fine when her husband know that she had a boyfriend before and seemingly he might not be her first time?
Eight months ago, Zara Kingston's best friend Mira Hawks came crying to her and informed that she was pregnant and she had no idea who the father was. It was a one night stand and she didn't know that she would end up getting pregnant.
Zara being friends with Mira for ten years, couldn't stop supporting her best friend who has been her emotional rock. She did support her decision to keep the baby and was there when she did another confirmation test on her pregnancy.
After that-
From talking with Mira's parents to arranging baby showers, putting the nursery for the kid with her own money, gender reveal party and all kinds of maternal programmes that Mira needed to attend as mother, everything she has done for her. She was excited to be the best Godmother of the baby.
Three months ago, Zara lost her dream job because of unfairness, but she kept her composure perfect. She supported Mira unconditionally, and didn't let her severe depression come between her taking care of her pregnant bestie and her responsibility as best friend.
And obviously, she couldn't deny the fact that, after losing her dream competition and her dream job, her family suddenly became so attentive and supportive that she couldn't stop feeling blessed. From emotionally abusive parents, they turned into lovely and perfect parents who started loving her as equally as her brother, who has always been the golden child of her millionaire parents.
Today,
Mira has given birth to a beautiful baby girl.
Shawn, her boyfriend, was here with her brother, Zayn Kingston, who seemed to have been extra caring for Mira.
Mira's family and her family are close enough to invite them to different occasions, thanks to this miracle baby.
Right now, holding a huge basket, filled with all kinds of sushi and desserts that she made in the early morning, Zara heads to the Inpatient Ward. Mira was transferred there soon after she gave birth naturally.
With a huge smile on her face, Zara walks towards the room where Mira is.
And this is where something hideous is going to happen.
" How should we proceed with this? If she learns about the truth, she will hate us! But I no longer want to keep hiding it!"
She stops by the door when she hears her best friend Mira's voice coming from the patient room. Judging by her tone, she seems to be upset about something.
" We will keep things as secret as possible if you don't want to ruin things."
Zara's eyes widen when she hears her brother's voice. He said that he would be at the company today because there's some important business to finish.
" Do you want me to keep my baby away from its father? This is so unfair to me and the baby!" Mira almost shouts,
Zara clamps her mouth and mumbles, " That means - The father of the child is Brother?"
Her eyes dance with happiness. Although she can't understand why Mira didn't say anything. She should have told everyone about it. Nobody will reject her or the baby.
" My poor Mira. You should have told us about it. This is my first niece! I'm an auntie n-!"
" Are you kidding me? If you mess things up now, we all will be in trouble. We all know that Zara's grudge is dangerous. If you disclose this truth, everything will be out of the box!" Zayn yells at Mira without holding his anger.
Zara's eyebrows knit with confusion because she doesn't know what's happening. " What truth? What are they talking about?"
Clenching the basket, she leans against the wall. She doesn't mean eavesdropping, but she can't help since it's clear that they're having problems related to her..
" What truth? Do you think it will stay under the rug when you will have to tell her that the Ultimatum is real and she is going to marry that man your dad arranged for her if she loses the competition?"
What did she just hear?
Zara's eyes flick with shock and utter disbelief. She thought the ultimatum was a simple bet that her father wanted to put on. What are they talking about?
" Who is going to tell her the truth? Also this is a deal of two billion dollars. She has to agree. She needs to accept her fate!" Zayn shouts.
" Lol!" Mira scoffs, " Selling your own sister is already shameful. If she knows that it wasn't an arrangement to marry her off but she is being sold for two billion dollars and it's entirely your personal gain. Do you think she will forgive you? She is stupid enough to think that her family loves her. But she doesn't know that her family is selling her off for two billionaires dollars because their golden child wants to have his own business. Am I not right?"
" This fucking mouth!" Zayn grabs her chin and presses it strongly enough to make her inner cheeks bleed.
" What are you trying to say? You are so concerned about your best friend while giving birth to her boyfriend's child. Aren't you too bold for saying those words to me?" He shoves her face and scoffs,
"What will happen when she knows that not only us but also you, who she adopted like a stray dog, actually slept with her boyfriend behind her back and got pregnant. Also, that dog dared to use her money, time and effort to make a good pregnancy journey. Do you think you will end up in good condition?"
