The Price of a Diamond Heart

Summary

The day Julian Hayes brought me back from that underground auction, he stood over me, cold and imperious.

"I only bought you because I needed a new plaything. Don't flatter yourself thinking I still have feelings for you."

I knew he hated me. He hated me for breaking our engagement years ago when he was at his lowest, stripped of his inheritance and dignity.

So, even when he showered me with expensive gifts and affection later, I never forgot my place: just a toy.

Toys don't get to have babies. So when I found out I was pregnant, I kept it a secret.
