Julian's Temporary Wife

Imagine discovering your entire world is built on a foundation of secrets and lies. Diana Winnington, blissfully married for three years, anticipates sharing joyous news with her husband, Julian Fulcher: she's pregnant. But as she approaches Julian's grand banquet, an unsettling encounter with the stern butler, Mr. Carter, throws her into a maelstrom of doubt. Julian, who has always showered her with affection, suddenly seems distant, unreachable behind the mansion walls. Returning home, a confrontation with Julian reveals a hidden past, a tangled web of relationships, and a shocking betrayal that shatters Diana's idyllic existence. Before Diana, there was Kayla, Julian's true love, who vanished abroad years ago due to stomach cancer caused by family dramas involving Diana's return. Driven by heartbreak and a cruel twist of fate, Julian married Diana, a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Kayla. Now, with Kayla's illness revealed, Julian demands a divorce, offering Diana a cold settlement – the house and a substantial sum of money. Diana is left reeling, her dreams crumbling around her, clutching the pregnancy test that seals her fate. Julian, blinded by his past, fails to see the depth of Diana's pain, believing she'll simply accept his offer and disappear. But can Diana so easily relinquish the life she's built, the child she carries, and the truth that lies buried beneath Julian's carefully constructed facade? Is there more to this twisted **romance**, or are some wounds too deep to heal?
