About

When Aurelia discovers that her long-time boyfriend’s family views her as nothing more than a means to an end, her world shatters. After months of planning a future together, she finds herself caught in a web of parental expectations and financial demands, her dreams of a fairy-tale wedding slipping away. As she overhears Anthony's mother coldly calculating their future, Aurelia feels the weight of betrayal and disappointment. How could the family she once felt at home with suddenly see her as an obligation rather than a beloved partner?

Just as she resolves to confront the truth, a new player enters the scene: a powerful CEO who sees Aurelia for who she really is, not just a pawn in someone else's game. With Anthony caught between loyalty to his family and his love for Aurelia, tensions rise and choices become dire. Will Aurelia fight for her dreams, or will she succumb to the pressures of a life dictated by others? The question lingers: can love survive when so many forces conspire against it? As the stakes heighten, Aurelia must decide what she truly wants—and who she’s willing to fight for.

His Mom Rejected Me So a CEO Claimed Me InsteadChapter 1

My period had never been late for more than a few days, yet this time, it had vanished for two whole months.

My boyfriend mistakenly thought I was pregnant, and, in his excitement, rushed home to plan our marriage.

But his mother’s reaction caught me completely off guard.

"Since you're pregnant, let’s save every penny for our eldest grandchild. We’ll skip the wedding banquet and the betrothal gift," she said as if she were doing me a favor.

I smiled sweetly. "Auntie, let me save you even more. You won’t have to spend a single cent."

Anthony Hector turned pale. Panic flickered in his eyes.

I swore then and there that I would never stay up late again.

And just when I thought things couldn't get worse, I woke up this morning to find that my period had finally arrived.

***

It felt like the sky had collapsed on me.

What a ridiculous misunderstanding…

I wanted nothing more than to find a hole to crawl into.

Thinking back to how overjoyed Anthony had been about becoming a father, I had no idea how to break the news to him.

The more I thought about it, the guilt gnawed at me.
