"In the West family, there is a rule that a worthy heir already builds his family.

Amelia had always been a lady with dreams, but things got bad when she was set up on a one-night stand that ended in a pregnancy with Ashton West, the unwanted son of the Notable West family.
To her surprise, she was accepted and they got married, not knowing that Ashton and his mother wanted to use her to gain ground in the West family that had kicked them out.
Sadly, she had a miscarriage, and more of it until they couldn't take it anymore, and they threw her out without knowing she was pregnant again.
A new chapter of happiness began for her when the prominent Granny West saved her and proposed a contract for her to sign in return for her child who would be used to seal the position of heir for her grandson, Liam West.
Amelia didn't tell Granny West about her ex-husband. What will happen after a few years when the step-brothers with deep hatred for each other begin to claim custody of the child?
How far will they go because this same child is the only key to ruling over the West Empire?
