She married Cassian Rourke for money. She left him for love—the love he never gave her. Five years of a contract marriage. Five years of hoping proximity would turn into something real. But on their anniversary, when Lyra finally gathered the courage to confess her feelings, she overheard him confessing his to someone else. So she signed the divorce papers, packed her bags, and disappeared with the secret growing inside her. Two years later, she has built a new life. A quiet house. A beautiful daughter with platinum blonde hair and slate-blue eyes. Peace. Until she rents out her spare room to a tattooed grad student with a familiar last name. Luca Rourke. Cassian's half-brother. The family black sheep. And the only person standing between Lyra and the custody battle Cassian is threatening the moment he discovers Eleanor exists. His solution? Marriage. A fake one, of course. But the Rourke family doesn't play fair. And Luca's hiding secrets of his own, secrets that could destroy everything Lyra's fought to protect. Sometimes the greatest danger isn't falling for the wrong brother. It's falling for the right one.

Lyra's POVKira stood still for a while before finally comprehending what I said. She covered her mouth in shock, “One of the Rourke's children lives with you?” she asked and stared around frantically.I quickly pulled her aside before she makes a noise and attract Luca. “Just take a seat and don't say a single word. I'll be right back.”She took her seat on one of the chairs and watched as I left. I took Eleanor to her room, she immediately walked to her bed and laid down.“You seem tired today.” I said and kissed her cheek before leaving her room.I went to my room afterwards, it had been such a long day. I was exhausted and still concerned about a lot of things.Theron sending his men to abduct me finally showed how far he would really go to get things done. Who knows if would randomly do it again if he feels like? I could not risk letting that happen again.“I should speak to Luca about this. If not anyone else, I must talk to him. He knows his father well and would probably sugge

Lyra's POVOur shifts ended, it was time to finally head home. Kira and I walked home together this time, her sister remained back to finish her work, she had been slow and didn't finish most of her work earlier.“Are you sure you should leave her behind? I thought you two would go home together.” I asked Kira as we exited the supermarket.She scoffed, “Who cares about that low life. She can do whatever she wants. We actually never go home together, I just see her arrive whenever she wants. She is old enough too.” Kira replied.I couldn't tell if this was normal for her or she was just keen on hearing more of what I had to tell her. Kira was pretty invested in the story, mainly because it involved the Rourke family.I sighed and continued walking, she waved down a taxi and we both hopped in.The car had started moving before I noticed what was going on. “Wait, why are we boarding the same taxi home? Do we live the same part of the city?” I asked her.“Oh we actually do.” She replied s

Lyra's POVMy view was completely blocked until the van finally came to a stop. The windows rolled down, we were back in the parking lot of the supermarket.The door slid open, Reece was reaching out for something in a bag as I was urged out by another man. I stepped out, still trembling with fear.Reece stepped out afterwards with a small bag. “Alright, we are back now. You can go on with your day, I'll handle the rest.” He said, attempting to head into the supermarket.“Wait, you're coming with me? I thought you were to just let me go. What are you planning on doing this time?” I asked him.“ You've been gone for almost two hours. Perhaps you have a very good excuse to give your boss already?” Reece taunted.I paused, realizing he would save me my job if he manages to convince the manager. He has surely noticed my sudden disappearance and is not likely the type to accept lame excuses.“Wait, what will you convince him with? Don't tell me you plan on threatening him.”Reece scoffed,

Lyra's POVI was led into the only house in sight, there was nothing but a vast land ahead and behind us. I had no idea where in the world I was.“This way.” I was led into the house, the door opened and we walked in.There was a huge living room with what looked like extremely expensive interior designs. Surely this belonged to Theron, he is well known for extravagant things like this.A farm looks like what a lot of people would consider their dream-home.At the end of the room sat Theron himself alone. He was on his phone until he noticed our presence. Slowly, he dropped the phone and gazed at me for a while.“Sit.” He ordered, his voice carrying so much authority, I didn't need to hear it twice before quickly sitting down.My fingers trembled as I sat there, waiting for what he'd say. I avoided eye contact with him. From the very beginning, I have hated staring into his eyes.Everytime our eyes met, it looked like he'd ordered I get killed immediately. I always wondered how such a
