But when Priscilla needs surgery they can't afford, Zara is out of options, until she meets Nicholas McCoy. Nicholas McCoy also, has lost everything that matters. His mother abandoned him.

To a stranger. Two broken people. One impossible solution. When Nicholas offers Zara a contract, four years of marriage in exchange for enough money to save her sister, it should be simple. A business arrangement between two people who've forgotten how to trust. But nothing about Nicholas and Zara is simple. Between the loan shark who wants to collect Zara as payment for her father's debt, her mother who bullies her, the uncle trying to steal Nicholas's company, and the ghosts of abandonment that haunt them both, survival becomes complicated by something neither expected: Each other.

THE LEGACY BETWEEN US
Updated at Jul 3, 2025, 10:26
– A story of lost names, powerful empires and a love that defies fate. Seraphina Hart was never meant to be a shadow. Switched at birth and forced into a loveless marriage by a cruel stepmother, she lost everything—her father’s inheritance, her freedom, and her dignity. Betrayed, disgraced, and pregnant from a framed one-night stand with a stranger whose name she never knew, she vanished into a quiet town with nothing but the will to survive. Four years later, she's back—reborn as a renowned interior designer and devoted mother to her twin boys. Her newest contract brings her face-to-face with the last man she never expected to see again: Jaxon Varela, heir to a billion-dollar empire… and unknowingly, the stranger from the unforgettable night and the father of her children. He doesn’t recognize her. She also doesn't recognize him. But their sons are a mirror image of him. As sparks ignite and old secrets stir, powerful enemies plot in the shadows—an ambitious uncle hungry for power, a cunning stepmother desperate to erase the past, and a woman who’s kept the truth for far too long. Who is the real heiress to the Hart fortune? What happens when a man unknowingly falls for the mother of his sons? And when legacy, revenge, and forbidden love collide—who will be left standing? In a world where names open doors and bloodlines destroy them, Selina must decide: is she ready to stop surviving… and start claiming what was always hers?

Ha ha ha, what do you know about love? We are talking money, you are talking love.” Uncle Edmund laughed sarcastically. “Enola, we need money. There is no better way to get money that would be enough for a long while. You do not have to worry, Mark is a billionaire. I've known him for a very long time. You will have more than enough being married to him.” Edmund spoke again. It was obvious he had it all planned out. Enola was downcasted, there was nothing else she could do. She went back to her dark room, sat on the floor with her back to the wall. “Why is her life so muddled up? Why does it seem like she is always a second slower than everyone else in the whole world?” Enola thought to herself. She had been abandoned by her mother while she was still a baby. Brought up by a father who suddenly disappeared when she turned 16. Arranged marriage with a horrible billionaire, courtesy of her uncle. Experiencing love for the first time, she planned to elope with her husband’s P.A. Secrets began to unfold… Will she ever be able to forgive her mother? Will her father ever be found? Will she truly be able to escape from her husband and elope with his P.A? What would she do when she finds out that she is pregnant and it's not for her husband?
