If Love Had Terms

At 29, Kyren Solana Hadid has everything people admire, a successful café, beauty that turns heads, and independence most women dream of. But she has never been chosen. While her world celebrates love, marriage, and motherhood, Kyren is left with quiet nights and unanswered questions. Pressured by her family and her own longing-she decides to take control of her life in the boldest way possible... She will have a child... without love. Then she meets him. A stranger in a flower shop, gentle, composed, and dangerously captivating. She doesn't know that he is Donny Raven Ong a 32 year-old chef, social media influencer, and brand endorser, desired by many, emotionally untouched, and known for playing with hearts he never keeps. When Kyren makes her shocking offer... "I don't want your love. Just give me a child." Donny surprises her with a counteroffer. "Then be my wife. Just for show." No love. No expectations. But somewhere between shared mornings, quiet laughter, and a growing life inside her... The rules begin to break. Because the man who never believed in love... is about to fight for a family he never planned.
