It was a contract that was all. All you had to do was play the role of the wife. That was all.

You didn't know a simple annual monthly company medical check up would change everything. You weren't supposed to get pregnant.

Going back to the office, thinking about all the pros and cons to this pregnancy and then your husband called you into his office.

"Is the gift prepared for Natalia?" Jared asked, his gaze cold and calculated.

All you gave was a simple nod before leaving his office and going back to work.

Natalia was his first love, but his love with her was one sided and she married someone else. The marriage between the two of was a contract your grandmother's - who are very close friends - made before the two of you were born.

The party was after work so neither of you had changed out of your work attire, but regardless you looked bland in comparison to Jared or Natalia.

And then the Natalia revealed a big surprise, she and her husband were expecting a child. Everyone cheered for them as an ultrasound appeared on the big screen.

"Do you like kids?" Jared asked, snapping you out of your thoughts.

You were a little surprised, he never exactly showed an interest in starting a family or really anything that had to do with the marriage besides appearances.
