The battle for control of the Landon family had officially begun. With Kyle backing Madelyn, Michelle's half-sister was already itching to make a move.
Meanwhile, Michelle had spent years earning Martin's favor, and her marriage alliance with the Lynch family solidified her position.
However, if Madelyn managed to obtain shares in the company, Michelle would need Martin's full support. His condition was that she had to get pregnant with Nathan's child as soon as possible.
In families like hers, everything was always about leverage. Only if she carried Nathan's child would the alliance between the Landon and Lynch families become unshakeable.
The fact that she and Nathan still hadn't consummated their marriage after all these years wouldn't stay hidden from either Martin or Luis Landon much longer.
Sabrina's voice softened. "Michelle, I know you and Nathan don't have feelings for each other. Asking you to get pregnant is putting you in a difficult spot."
Michelle cut her off. "Mom, I'll do it!"
Sabrina paused. "Michelle…"
"Mom, Nathan is the Lynch family's only heir. If I can get pregnant, it really is the best strategy. Don't worry. I'm not letting that illegitimate daughter set one foot into this family. I'm not letting anyone touch anything that was supposed to be ours," Michelle said.
Hearing the firm resolve in Michelle's voice, Sabrina said nothing more. They ended the call.
Michelle lowered the phone just as the bathroom door clicked open. Nathan walked out.
Michelle looked at him. He was wearing black silk pajamas, with a towel in hand as he dried his damp hair. Tall and sharply built, with droplets of water still clinging to his skin, he looked even younger, like he had stepped straight out of a comic panel. His looks were truly one-of-a-kind.
Beyond his looks, his background made him even more of a rarity. The Lynch family came from an old military lineage with a strong foundation, and unlike the Landon family, they didn't have internal power struggles.
The Lynch men were known for their loyalty and devotion to one wife, and Nathan was the sole heir of his generation, their direct descendant.
Michelle looked at him, thinking a man like him must have exceptional genes. Having a child with him was a deal she didn't lose on. Even a top-tier genetic bank wouldn't have someone this ideal.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
How does anyone in their senses meet up with someone who almost hurt them and their unborn child. This author is dumb and needs to wrap this crap up. All of a sudden Hailey and kala are playing Celine and Carly's role as another character. Nonsense....
Is this still story for Celine and Adam?...
And yet again, they get away with evil!!!...
That’s gruesome to have 2 months pregnancy forcibly terminated by other characters . What kind of hospital doctors is that ?...
