The Vildyr Pact
By @john1208
When my guardian, Yurok, falsely accused me of theft and abandoned me in the freezing rain at the grand winter gala, my reputation died on the spot. To buy my legal emancipation and fund a flawless, cold-blooded revenge, I sold my womb to Jarek Vildyr. Jarek is a ruthless industrialist who demands an heir but views romance as a pathetic biological defect. It was supposed to be a simple, platonic transaction. But as my belly grows, Jarek's icy demeanor fractures into terrifying protectiveness. He tracks my sleep down to the minute, unleashes his security on my obsessed ex-boyfriend who keeps trying to 'rescue' me, and recently drove to ten different stores at 2 AM just to find the exact plum-honey ice cream I craved. Living with him and my one-eared mastiff, Tolk, I've begun dismantling Yurok's empire from my gilded cage. But as my revenge nears completion, I uncover a sickening twist: Yurok ruined me solely to shield his dying daughter from his own enemies. With the baby's due date looming and Jarek's obsessive protocols trapping me inside, can I adapt my vengeance before I lose my freedom forever?
