Lena had it all - a thriving career, amazing friends, and a beautiful home in the suburbs. But on a night out with friends, she let her hair down and had a one-night stand with a handsome stranger. She didn't think much of it, until six years later, when fate brought them together again.

This time, the stranger was dressed in military fatigues, and his piercing gaze left her breathless. But what really shocked her was the little boy holding his hand, who had eyes that looked uncannily like hers.

"Hello, Lena," the stranger said, his deep voice sending shivers down her spine. "We meet again. And this time, I'm not leaving until I make you mine."

Lena's heart raced as she tried to process the situation. The man, now introduced as Max, was not only the father of her child but also a soldier on leave. And he was determined to make up for lost time.

As they navigated their way through this unexpected reunion, Lena couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. Who would have thought that a one-night stand would lead to a contract marriage and a ready-made family?

But amidst the chaos, Lena realized that she was drawn to Max in ways she couldn't explain. And as they spent more time together, she began to wonder if this chance encounter might just lead to a love that would last a lifetime.

Lena's mind raced as she tried to process the situation. Max, the father of her child, standing in front of her, looking more handsome and charming than ever. The little boy, Jack, gazing up at her with curious eyes, unaware of the drama unfolding around him.

As they stood in the park, surrounded by laughter and children's shouts, Lena felt like her world was spinning out of control. Max's words echoed in her mind: "I'm not leaving until I make you mine." What did he mean? Did he want to be a part of her life? Of Jack's life?

"Max, we need to talk," Lena said finally, her voice barely above a whisper.

Max nodded, his eyes never leaving hers. "I know. There's a lot to catch up on."

As they walked to a nearby café, Lena's thoughts whirled with questions. What did Max want from her? Why did he show up now, after six years? And what did he mean by "making her his"?

Over coffee, Max explained his side of the story. He had been deployed shortly after their night together and had only recently discovered he had a son. He wanted to be a part of Jack's life, and Lena's too, if she would let him.

Lena listened, torn between her desire to protect her little family and her own attraction to Max. As they talked, Jack chattered excitedly about his new friend, "Dada", and Lena's heart melted.

Maybe, just maybe, this unexpected reunion could lead to something beautiful. But could she trust Max to stay? Or would he leave again, breaking their hearts?

As they sipped their coffee, Max pulled out a small notebook and began to scribble some notes. Lena's curiosity piqued, she asked, "What are you doing?"

Max looked up, a mischievous glint in his eye. "I'm proposing a contract marriage, Lena. I want to be a part of Jack's life, and I want to make it official."

Lena's jaw dropped. "A contract marriage? You mean, like a business deal?"

Max nodded. "Exactly. I know it sounds unconventional, but I want to make this work. I'll provide for Jack, and for you, and in return, you'll give me a chance to be a father and a husband."

Lena was taken aback by the proposal. It was crazy, yet a part of her was tempted. She had struggled to make ends meet as a single mother, and the thought of having a partner to share the load was enticing.

But could she trust Max to keep his end of the bargain? And what about her own feelings? She couldn't deny the attraction between them, but was it enough to build a marriage on?

As she hesitated, Max added, "I know it's a lot to ask, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make this work. And I promise, Lena, I'll make you happy."

Lena's heart skipped a beat at the sincerity in his eyes. Maybe, just maybe, this contract marriage was worth considering.

"Okay," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll consider it. But I need time to think."

Max grinned, relief written all over his face. "That's all I can ask for. And in the meantime, can I take you and Jack out for dinner? Get to know my son better?"

Lena smiled, feeling a spark of excitement. "That sounds like a date."

Lena's heart raced as she got ready for dinner with Max and Jack. She couldn't believe she was considering a contract marriage, but there was something about Max that made her feel safe and wanted.

As they arrived at the restaurant, Jack's eyes widened at the sight of the kids' play area. "Wow! Can I go play, Mommy?"

Lena smiled, nodding. "Of course, baby. Go have fun."

Max watched Jack scamper off, a warm smile on his face. "He's an amazing kid, Lena. You've done a great job raising him."

Lena felt a flutter in her chest at the praise. "Thanks, Max. I've tried my best."

As they ordered dinner and waited for their food to arrive, Max regaled her with stories of his time in the military, making her laugh with his witty humor. Lena found herself feeling more and more at ease in his presence.

Over dinner, they talked about everything from their favorite books to their childhood memories. Lena was struck by how much they had in common, how easy it was to talk to Max.

As the night drew to a close, Max walked them home, his arm casually slung over Lena's shoulders. Jack chattered excitedly about his playtime adventures, oblivious to the tension between his parents.

As they reached the doorstep, Max turned

Lena's heart raced as she walked down the aisle, her eyes fixed on Max's smiling face. They had decided on a small, intimate ceremony, with only close friends and family in attendance.

Jack, dressed in a miniature tuxedo, beamed with pride as he held her hand, his eyes shining with excitement. "Mommy, you look so pretty!"

Lena smiled, feeling a lump form in her throat. This was it – she was really doing this. Marrying a man she barely knew, but who had captured her heart in ways she couldn't explain.

As they exchanged vows, Lena felt a sense of calm wash over her. This was right – she knew it deep in her bones. Max was the one she was meant to be with.

The reception was a blur of laughter, tears, and music, with Jack stealing the show with his adorable antics. Lena and Max shared their first dance as husband and wife, swaying to the rhythm of a romantic ballad.

As the night drew to a close, Max pulled her close, his eyes burning with desire. "I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy, Lena. Starting now."

Lena's heart skipped a beat as he leaned in, his lips claiming hers in a passionate kiss. She knew in that moment, she was exactly where she belonged – in Max's arms.

Lena blushed as Max swept her off her feet, carrying her across the threshold of their honeymoon suite. They had decided on a romantic getaway to a tropical island, and the luxurious villa was the perfect setting for their newfound love.

One evening, as they watched the sunset over the ocean, Max turned to her with a mischievous grin. "I have a surprise for you, my love."

He led her to a secluded cove, where a private dinner was set up on the beach. Candles flickered in the breeze, and a guitarist played soft melodies in the background.

Lena's heart melted as Max took her hand, his eyes shining with love. "I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy, Lena. Will you be my partner in every sense of the word?"

Tears of joy streaming down her face, Lena nodded, and Max slid a beautiful diamond ring onto her finger.

As they embraced, the stars twinkling above, Lena knew that this was just the beginning of their happily ever after
