His Unclaimed Daughter
By @john1208
Elara Vance's cheerfulness is a fragile mask, barely hiding the terror clawing at her heart. Her daughter, Lily, needs a life-saving surgery she can't afford, plunging Elara into a desperate abyss. Every door closed, every hope dwindled, until one impossible truth emerged: the only man with the power to save Lily is Alexander Thorne. Five years ago, he was the forbidden passion that shattered her world; now he's a reclusive billionaire, more formidable and unyielding than ever. To approach him means stripping bare the carefully constructed walls around her heart, risking the devastating pull of his dark gaze, and enduring the haunting echo of his past betrayal. His very presence, a potent mix of danger and allure, threatens to unravel her composure. If she fails, Lily loses her fight. If she succeeds, Alexander might discover the secret she's guarded with her life – a secret that could claim not just her heart, but her daughter’s future, under terms not her own. The weight of his cold rejection, or his furious wrath, feels heavier than any silk shroud.
