MR. AND MRS. LIAM: A Perfect Lie.
Amber Sinclair never imagined that saving her family would cost her entire life.
Three years ago, her half-sister vanished days before her lavish wedding to billionaire heir Vincent Liam. With the Sinclair family on the verge of ruin, Amber was forced to become the substitute bride overnight.
But what was supposed to be a temporary sacrifice turned into a nightmare.
Vincent believes Amber orchestrated Chloe’s disappearance to steal her place, and ever since their wedding day, he has hated her with every breath. Behind the glamorous cameras, luxurious mansions, and perfect public image lies a marriage poisoned by resentment, humiliation, and heartbreak.
To the world, they are the perfect couple.
Behind closed doors, they are strangers bound together by lies.
But as buried secrets begin to surface, Vincent slowly realizes that the woman he despises may have been innocent all along... and the people he trusted most may have destroyed both their lives.
Now Amber must decide: Should she keep fighting for a man who never loved her... or finally walk away before his hatred destroys her completely?
Because sometimes, the most dangerous lies are the ones dressed up as love.

Chapter: Chapter 13Amber's POVI was laughing hard while reading the clauses, then I got to the last clause and I didn't know if I should continue laughing or begin crying.“Clause 23: Since a child wasn't involved in the marriage, Amber Sinclair will have absolutely no right to any of Vincent Liam's properties.”My head tilted slightly as I focused on that part. I wasn't intending to demand anything from Vincent after the divorce, but stating it here under the guise of no child being involved in the marriage was so unfair to me. I mean, what about my time wasted during the marriage? I wasn't even allowed to work and save money for myself, so they were basically sending me into the streets penniless.“Are you going to sign that?” Ms. Miller asked.I shook my head with a serious expression.“Not yet, but this just reminds me of something very important.”“What is that?”“I should start working as soon as possible.” She wanted to say something, but I continued to explain my point to her. “If I don't start

Chapter: Chapter 12Amber's POVFirst, there was silence. It was as if their brains were processing the words that came out of my mouth. Then came the explosion.“What?!” My mother and stepfather exclaimed, their faces contorted in shock.Chloe's face fell instantly. She stared at me with her mouth hanging open wordlessly. She suddenly sprang up and lunged at me, holding me by the neck of my blouse.“What did you just say?” Her eyes reddened and her breath became uneven.“I said, I am pregnant,” I pushed her hand away. “With Vincent's child.”She shook her head in denial.“No, no, no. This can't be happening right now.” The panic in her voice was obvious.My stepfather stepped forward and gave me a slap I didn't see coming, and for the first time in twenty-five years, my mother rushed in front of me with her arms spread out protectively.“Easy, Richard, she's with child,” she said.If my cheek wasn't stinging from the slap, her action would have fluttered my heart. I held my stinging cheek and glared at

Chapter: Chapter 11Amber's POV“...you know I can't drink alcohol recently, I'm with child,” I whined, rubbing my flat belly softly.I'm in a cab going to my parents' home. My mom called again while I was having breakfast, urging me to come home because there's something important we must talk about.Annabelle scoffed from the other side of the phone.“I'm with child,” she mimicked me in a mocking manner. “I thought you were strongly against keeping the child. Where is that protectiveness coming from now?”I shrugged my shoulders even though she couldn't see me.“I don't care what you think, you're coming with us,” she insisted. “Don't worry, I'll make sure even a drop of alcohol won't get in your mouth.”“I... I don't know,” I hesitated.She released a frustrated groan.“Come on, don't be like those ladies who get restricted by pregnancy and end up abandoning their friends.”My lips curved into a smile as I imagined what her expression would be right now. She'd be pouting her lips and doing that puppy-

Chapter: Chapter 10Vincent's POVI groaned as a severe headache struck my head. I slowly opened my eyes and sat up, holding my head in my hands. I remained in that position for a while before taking a look at my surroundings and realizing I was in a strange room. I was confused for a second until I recalled what happened last night and how I might have ended up here.Just then, the door creaked open and my buddy, Steve, stuck his head in.“Oh, you're awake,” he stepped inside completely. “Here,” he handed me a glass of honey water, then nodded at my hand still resting on my forehead. “Aftermath of drinking too much. I told you you'd regret it this morning.”I didn't say a word in my defense. I simply gulped down the water and handed him the empty glass.“Thanks.”Steve nodded.“So, are you ready to talk about why you stormed into my bar last night?”His question reminded me of yesterday's incident, and I balled my fists while glaring at the floor with a tightened jaw.“Chloe's been cheating on me.”“Wha

Chapter: Chapter 9Amber's POV“What does the time say?” Vincent asked, his eyes moving to my belly. “Where did you go that you're returning home dangerously late? Do you realize you're with child?”I raised my brows at his last question, a laugh threatening to escape my lips. I was expecting a confrontation from him after dumping the test results on him, but I didn't expect him to be waiting for me at the door.“Reply to me when I'm talking to you. Where have you been?”I ignored him and pushed past him, but he caught my right arm and pulled me back. “Am I talking to someone or not?”I released a hiss as I snatched my arm from him. “Quit being a hypocrite in front of me. Stop pretending like you care when you clearly don't!” I yelled in his face.“I... I...” he seemed short of words.“You what?” I nodded my head slowly. “I am done having you and everyone else control my life, Vincent. Yes, I am pregnant with your child, but that doesn't give you the right to interfere with my life.” I looked him in the

Chapter: Chapter 8Amber's POVIt's been seven hours. We've been sightseeing for seven good hours now. It wasn't supposed to turn into a whole-day outing, but after Ethan dropped his luggage at home and picked up his car, we somehow kept driving from one place to another.“I think it's time to eat,” Ethan said. He glanced at my stomach before focusing on the road. I was in the front seat with him.I frowned a bit.“And why are you staring at my belly?” My arms instinctively wrapped around my stomach.“Your stomach's been growling,” he replied.“Oh...” I laughed softly.Annabelle suddenly leaned forward from the backseat and placed her hands on both the headrests of our seats.“I know a fine restaurant, but it's expensive.” She faced Ethan. “Is your pocket capable?” she asked him.Ethan scoffed.“Nothing's too expensive when it involves my girls.”Annabelle fell back into her seat with a victorious grin.“Now, that's the only thing I love about you.”I laughed tiredly. I knew the restaurant she was talki
