Victor’s estranged son is dark, reckless, sharp-tongued, and dangerous in all the wrong ways. With tattoos, secrets, and eyes that see straight through her designer fabrics, he’s everything she should avoid. But when he kisses her like he hates her and touches her like he owns her, her perfect plan begins to fall apart. Because Cody doesn’t want revenge. He wants her. And in this house, loving the wrong man could get them both killed. But Victor is always two steps ahead. And Marilyn is about to find out what it really means to be... A Rich Man’s Wife.

Her dress that cost thousands of dollars felt itchy and prickly against her skin and she knew why. The smoke. The fire. The reminder. The smell of burning bodies. Victor leaned back in his seat and observed his wife who looked like she was seconds away from exploding into a full-blown panic attack. “What's wrong with you, Marilyn?” He asked with the patience of a lit fuse. Her heart was violently thudding against her ribcage as she tried to hold in the intense urge of throwing up her lunch. “Must have been the sushi.” She lied, too quickly. “had one too many after shopping.” But her eyes didn't lie. Marilyn was staring straight ahead at something. Victor followed her gaze and it landed on the performers outside the club. The Fire-breathers and The Fire-spinners. Victor sensed she told a lie because she told it in the most untrue way.
Chapter 4: A Rich Wife's Lie. “Should I call security… or are you two just into weird foreplay?”She turned to him, pulse hammering. Her mission was slipping through her fingers. And now, so was her control.He leaned against the wall, eyes flicking between her and Nina.She knew Cody wasn’t stupid. And he’d just seen too much. Nina gave Cody a long, amused glance before gliding past him. “You Fontaine men are always interrupting things.” Her voice coiled like smoke as she whispered in Marilyn’s ear. “The Branch always keeps an eye on its thorns.”She immediately vanished like a shadow, her heels echoing down the hall. Marilyn stood frozen, her wrist still burning from Nina’s nails.Then Cody stepped closer, curious and sharp-eyed.“Marilyn,” he said, voice slow and low, “you want to tell me why my father’s wife was cornered by a woman who looks like she runs a poison ring in Prague?”Marilyn inhaled, gathering herself like a veil. No panic. No flinch. Just the tilt of her chin, the
Chapter 3: A Rich Son’s Sport.The Fontaine name didn’t belong at the racetrack. It was loud, hot, and raw. Smelling of rubber and fuel and sweat. Marilyn stepped onto the VIP platform in heels and designer sunglasses, diamonds glittering at her throat.No one would guess that this dressed up lady's mind was anywhere else but here. She was still stuck on the awkward breakfast from the previous day which had ended with a furious Victor storming out of the room and Marilyn ending up with lingerie she wanted nothing to do with. Everything had been in order. Everything was going according to plan. But now it wasn't. And it was because of two reasons; The first reason was Cody. And the second being that Victor had no intentions of touching her. At their wedding, she had barely gotten a peck on the cheek from him. And on their wedding night, he made her sing for him.

Chapter 2: A Rich Man's Son“Did you like the show?” Cody grinned. “Are you always this crude, or do you save it just for women married to your father?”Her response seemed to excite and possibly intrigue him too. “Only the ones who watch me while they bite their lip.”Marilyn stared at the inked menace as he stepped into the light.Shirtless, smug, every inch the arrogant bastard he was raised to be. She should’ve slapped him. She should’ve walked away. But her legs didn’t move. And her core still throbbed.Then it dawned on her. “You live here as well?” “Bingo!” He swung himself onto the edge of the table like it was his throne and slowly took in the beauty standing in front of him. His father's new wife. What a shame. She could’ve had fire. Instead she picked frost.“For Victor's sake, make better choices next time.” She raised her chin high. The brunette from earlier walked to him and pressed a kiss to his cheek. “Call me.” She purred before disappearing into the night. H
