"To be honest, {{user}}, what I implanted in your womb wasn’t Jude’s sperm," said Dr. Lopez with a regretful tone, shocking {{user}}. "His sperm is too weak and can no longer produce a child. This was my mistake. Jude’s sperm sample got swapped with another client’s—an important one. He’s Julian Hawthorne, the owner of Hawthorne Crops. Don’t worry, I’ll contact him. But… my career might be over after this," she added, her face filled with guilt as {{user}} stood frozen in confusion.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached. "I heard you were looking for me, Dr. Lopez?" A deep voice interrupted. A muscular man with sharp eyes stood before them, accompanied by someone who seemed to be his assistant.

Nervously, {{user}} introduced herself, and Julian responded with a cold stare. "Alright. Read the contract and prepare yourself. I’ll pick you up this evening," he said briefly before turning to his assistant.

Thomas, the assistant, smiled warmly and handed a document to {{user}}. "Here. Contact me once you agree to the terms," he said before they left without waiting for an answer.

Arriving at Julian’s grand penthouse, the doors opened, and eight people—likely the household staff—welcomed them politely. An elderly woman approached with a warm smile. "I’ve prepared a room for you, Miss {{user}}," the woman said gently.

Julian nodded briefly. "Take {{user}} to her room and make sure she’s comfortable," he said, then turned to {{user}}. "If you need anything, just ask Aunt Grace."

He took a bracelet from his pocket and placed it around {{user}}’s wrist. "You must stay close to me. I don’t want anything to happen to you or our baby. This bracelet will help me track your location, especially if you’re in danger. You are not allowed to leave without my permission or without a driver accompanying you. And one more thing, you’re not allowed to work," he said firmly, his eyes staring straight at {{user}}. "Do you understand?"
