It Started With A Lie, And Ended With Us.
No one has ever seen the mysterious heiress of the McKenzie empire, but everyone knows her name—Bianca McKenzie, the girl with power, wealth... and secrets.
Craving a normal life beyond her last name, Bianca disguises herself as a man—Brian—to land a job in a company where women aren’t welcome. Hired by the cold yet devastatingly handsome CEO Justin Miller, Bianca is determined to hide her true identity, no matter the cost. But neither of them is prepared for the emotional collision that follows.
What begins as friction turns into fragile friendship, then spirals into forbidden desire. One drunken night ignites a passion that changes everything. But when the truth is exposed, Justin feels betrayed and casts her away. He never meant the words. She never forgot them.
Five years later, she returns—no longer hidden, no longer Brian, but as the stunning, untouchable heiress now set to inherit her grandfather’s kingdom. And she’s not alone… she carries a secret that could shatter everything.
Now, with the media circling, a jealous ex on the warpath, and the man who once broke her heart trying to fight for her again, Bianca must decide:
Will she protect her heart, or let the man who once destroyed it be the one to mend it?

Chapter: Chapter 5"Hey!" I barked, forcing my voice deeper as I raised a hand sharply, stopping him in his tracks. My heart thudded against my ribs, but I masked it well."I don't mean to be rude, but just because you heard me sound like a girl just now doesn't mean I'm gay like you," I said, keeping my voice cold, my eyes scanning the room for an exit—or anything I could use to defend myself if things got ugly."And for the record," I added sharply, "you’re not even my type. So back off."I didn’t want to be cruel. But if cruelty would keep him away, then I’d be heartless.For a split second, I feared he’d keep coming—his eyes glinted with something unreadable. My pulse spiked, and my gaze darted to a nearby glass cup on the shelf. Not ideal for a fight, but better than nothing. If he made a move, I'd use it.I couldn’t risk exposure. I couldn’t risk a physical confrontation either.But then… he pouted.He actually pouted like a scolded child. My entire body froze, blinking in disbelief."It's not lik

Chapter: Chapter 4I stood there, unsure of what to do next. He's put me in a tight spot, yet, I can't seem to get myself off this. "Sir...I..." I stuttered, not sure what was going on in his head. Does he expect me to change here? If I do then he will find out I'm not a boy and that will be the end of me.Sweat dripped down my face profusely, my palms grew wet and every nerve on my body screamed for me not to move. This is it, it's over.I gulped and began unbuttoned my shirt when he spoke "What do you think you are doing?" I looked up and found him staring at me with a frown, and I gulped again, nervous and unsure."I...you asked me to change" "And who the hell told you I'm interested in watching you get dressed?" I bit my inner lips to hit my shame, it wouldn't kill if he showed me to his rest room to get changed."Over there" he pointed, "you are left with less than two minutes" I ran into the bathroom before he could complete his sentence and got changed. The chest binder was still intact and

Chapter: Chapter 3As soon as the elevator door closed, a hand landed on my shoulder causing me to half scream. I turned around only to see the lady from before staring at me with a confused look."Are you okay?" She asked and I nodded.I lied. She nearly gave me a heart attack with that surprise approach."I'm sorry I left you standing, something urgent came up... please, come with me to see the boss" she turned and we both walked back into the office.We got in and I carefully closed the door behind. There he was, the boss sitting behind his desk looking so dull and moody. "Sir!" She greeted and said nothing after what.His eyes fell on me and I shivered in fear. I understand what I first encountered wasn't the best but I've done nothing to deserve such a glare."What's your name?" I heard him ask but I was too lost in my head and scared to talk, I just stood there and stared back at him."Are you deaf or something little man?" He growled and I snapped out of my head."Brian Carter!" Then, I remember

Chapter: Chapter 2I could barely relax in bed, knowing I had to be up early and perfectly prepared. Before dawn broke, I was already showered, dressed, and staring into the mirror.Everything was perfect except for one thing—my facial structure betrayed my attempt to pass as a male.I grabbed my make up kit and quickly did some light touches, highlighting my cheekbones and jaw lines and made my eyes shut thinner. I couldn't outdo nature, so I grabbed my glasses and wore them, at least, that would cover something and make it less visible.Actually, this is not my first time to cross dress but it's the first time I'm doing this for something as professional as such and I must do my best not to be discovered . It'd be the end of me.I glanced at my phone and it was past seven. I stood up, observed myself in the mirror for a few seconds and left.I was already running out of time, so I quickly hailed a cab that took me directly to the Miller Company. I paid the driver and got out of the car. I've always h

Chapter: Chapter 1I knelt before the mirror on the floor in my small cramped apartment, scissors hooked between my fingers as I stared at my half long hair and the already chopped pieces on the floor. A tear rolled down my eyes, I have to do this to survive.If I were born a man, I wouldn't be kneeling here and cutting everything off that made me me.On my small bed were a pair of men's clothes and a fake ID of me as a man. It comes with the pain of being rejected even though my skills and qualifications perfectly fit the job description.The hardest thing in life is trying to gain people's acceptance, but that has never been a problem to me because my grandpa accepted me for me and never regretted having me. In fact, he dots me to the point I fear I don't have a life aside from living off his wealth and riches.After I graduated from college, I decided to get my identity, to be me without my grandpa. To find love and learn to build a life on my own. Grandpa doesn't know about this, he will never acce

Chapter: Prologue It started like every other night — laughter, drinks, and stories that made us who we are. But it never felt this right before.Me, staring at the man I've come to love, wishing he knew me for me and not the lies I made him believe.His laughter, the way it echoed in the room, and how my heart responded was a completely different thing. The peaceful look on his face and how casually he talked when not being stressed of confusion made my heart swell.Can this ever happen? Us? I doubt it has always been in my heart and having it happen in reality will be a complete miracle. Yes, a miracle.I was pulled out of my heavy thoughts by his call."Are you okay? Brian?" His eyes, the concern it held as he stared deeper into my soul left me weak to my knees. I nodded with a smile that only he could give me, "yes" I glanced at the file on the table, "it's indeed amazing how far you've come, congratulations, sir!"Today, he just struck another deal with the Hilton's Empire, the second largest to
