For over a thousand years, the Sea God has ruled the endless oceans, his power feared by mortals and worshipped by kings. His storms shape empires, his tides decide the fate of nations. Yet beneath his immortal strength lies a single, unfulfilled desire-an heir.
He has crowned countless Sea Queens, each one chosen for her beauty, her magic, her divine blood. And each one has failed him. The sea remains silent, barren, and his throne grows colder with every passing century.
Until one night, against every law of nature and every curse of the gods, a fragile human girl carries his child.
She is everything he despises-mortal, weak, fleeting. He has drowned cities for less than a whisper of human defiance. And yet, inside her grows the one thing he has longed for more than power, more than eternity itself.
Now, torn between hatred and desire, vengeance and hope, the Sea God must choose:
Will he destroy the girl who embodies everything he loathes...
Or protect the fragile spark of life that could finally break his eternal loneliness?
A tale of forbidden love, divine wrath, and the one bond strong enough to shake the heavens-the bond between father and child.
Pregnant. Betrayed. And the father is the last man she expected: her ex-boyfriend's formidable father, billionaire Silas Thorne.
Reeling from her cousin's deceit and her boyfriend's cheating, Elara Hayes faces a double shock - pregnant with twins by the intimidating Silas.
Silas, thirty-seven and ruthlessly decisive, sees an irresistible opportunity. He offers Elara a deal dripping with vengeance: "Marry me. It's the ultimate revenge against my son."
Thrust into a gilded cage built on retribution, Elara must protect herself and her unborn babies. But living under the same roof as the dangerously magnetic Silas threatens to shatter their cold arrangement. Can a marriage forged in revenge truly pave the path to love? Or will family loyalties tear them apart?
Cradle-snatcher? Disrespectful father? Silas Thorne welcomed the whispers. He played to win, and Elara was his prize. He wasn't giving her back.
