UNMARRIED
Unmarried
He forged a marriage. She forged an empire.
The marriage certificate was fake.
Two years of marriage. Six years of devotion. All of it a lie.
Eleanor Whitmore discovered the truth on a Tuesday afternoon a forged document, a secret wife, a child she had raised that was never hers. Julian Blackwell had been married for five years to another woman. Eleanor was just the cover. The nanny. The fool who had been branded barren so he could play house with his real family.
But Julian made one mistake.
He thought she had nowhere to go.
He didn't know about the inheritance. The billions waiting in trust. The power she had never touched.
"I am unmarried. I have no children. The assets are mine, and mine alone."
She walked away without looking back.
Julian waited for her to crawl back. He was certain she would. Days passed. Weeks. Months. She never returned.
Then he saw her again.
On national television.
Standing in the spotlight. Commanding unimaginable wealth. Beside her, Alexander Kingston the most powerful man in the country holding her hand as their marriage alliance was broadcast to the world.
The woman he called barren was glowing.
The woman he called useless was untouchable.
The woman he called nothing was now the most envied woman alive.
Julian watched from the shadows, ruined and forgotten, as the woman he betrayed became the woman he could never have.
But Eleanor has one more secret.
One that will bring Julian to his knees.
And when the truth comes out, it won't just destroy him.
It will destroy everything!
