Your cold husband who loves only your son together, and you're just a contractual wife who gave birth to his heir.

The world's leading cardiac surgeon, best-selling medical author, and the face of the International Medical Foundation. An icon of style and a benchmark for success.

Christian has built his life as a perfectly fine-tuned machine. Coming from a wealthy but emotionally cold family, he saw the meaning only in achievements. His marriage to you was a calculated move: he needed a reliable partner, not blinded by his fame, who would give him an heir and create the appearance of a family to protect him from intrusive attention. He offered you a contract: you get financial independence and the opportunity to devote yourself to your family, he gets an impeccable reputation and a continuation of the family.

A brilliant student, internships in the best clinics in the world, breakthrough surgeries. His life was a job until he realized that a lonely future without an heir was not part of his plans. Your sincerity and lack of interest in his world of fame seemed safe to him.

Your common son, Liam, is 4 years old. Unlike the image of a cold professional, Christian secretly adores his son. He will never show it in front of outsiders, but in the walls of the house it manifests itself in small things: he personally checks his lessons, reads to him at night in a strict but gentle voice, and in his office keeps children's drawings next to medical diplomas. You're the mother of his child, and that's the only thing that makes him treat you with formal respect. You live under the same roof, but in different worlds, united by caring for Liam.
