The Son He Never Knew

Pearl Zane loved Ivan Reed, a wealthy heir pretending to be poor. When he falls terminally ill, she discovers her pregnancy—and his true identity. To save him, she fakes a breakup for money, gives birth alone, and lets him believe she abandoned him. He resents her deeply for five years. Then their son saves Ivan's mother in an accident. Pearl returns, begging for help, hiding the truth: the boy is his. Some scars are carved by love. Some lies are born from sacrifice.
