Bride, Bought and Paid for

Romy was heading for the office of the multimillionaire Xavier, who had hurt her in the past. This is so he'll call off the suit against her father's embezzlement. I despise him so much, but I have to rely on him.... But on meeting him again, he offers a proposal to the pleading Romy. In return for his help, she'll marry him, and have his child! Is he really asking me to become a tool for him to gain an heir? He gives the resistant Romy a mocking smile and asks, "Do you really think I'd help without compensation?" His eyes shine darkly.
