Hidden Identity

Love after Marriage

Revenge

Weak to Strong

After five years of marriage, Melody finally realized—she had never truly married anyone. The marriage certificate was forged. Her husband, Adam, was legally wed to her best friend, Lily. And Melody? She had been the most innocent pawn in a meticulously crafted deception. The betrayals didn’t stop there. Her supposed infertility was a lie, and the child she had poured her love into raising was, in fact, Adam and Lily’s biological son. Five years of devotion—through their eyes, she had served only three purposes: a free housekeeper, a cheap business partner, and a disposable pawn. She had believed in love. That, above all, was her greatest folly. Yet Melody didn’t break. She didn’t cry, and she didn’t beg. Instead, she turned her gaze to the man who struck fear into the entire business world—Kiel Summers. Rumor had it he was ruthless, even deadly, and that any woman who became his companion ended up either dead or insane. Still, she walked into his office—and struck a deal. She offered him dignity; he offered her protection. Each got what they needed, with no promises of love. A cold, enigmatic man in a world full of danger. A clear-eyed, independent woman, scarred by betrayal yet still capable of kindness. Two broken souls, sharing the same fortress, bound by a single contract.

Chapter 1: Web of Lies
Melody's POVI wasted five years of my life on a lie. A nauseating, twisted joke of a marriage.I almost signed away 120 billion dollars to a man who forged our marriage certificate, trapped me in a web of deceit, and used me to raise the illegitimate son of his mistress.One hour ago.I sat in a decadent boardroom of the downtown sky scraper. My lawyer, Mr. Vance, looked at me with a mixture of awe and sheer terror. His hands trembled as he glanced down at the document on the desk.His expression said it all. He was unable to comprehend why I, Melody Wentworth, would agree to share a 120-billion-dollar inheritance with my husband, Adam, without any division or asset protection."Ms. Wentworth," Vance said, his pen paused over the paper. "I have to ask you one last time. Are you absolutely certain you want to do this? This is 120 billion dollars.""I'm certain," I replied, lifting my chin and locking eyes with him. My voice was steady. "This is what I want."Adam, my husband, deserved

Chapter 2: Lies
Melody's POVStanding outside Adam’s office door, I inhaled a sharp, steadying breath. I was on the verge of breaking down, of collapsing onto the floor in a puddle of tears.But something inside of me held me back. I blinked back the tears that had threatened to spill from my eyes, drying the moisture. I swallowed back the nausea rising in my throat. I relaxed my jaw and unknotted my eyebrows, willing my racing heart to slow to a calm and steady pace.I counted to ten. Then to twenty.And then, when I was nice and calm, I opened the door.Their heads whipped towards me.“Hello,” I said with a fake, convincing smile.Their conversation instantly died.Adam sat behind the desk. Lily stood by the window, holding a tablet. They both froze, their muscles taut, and exchanged a worried glance."Melody!" Adam said, recovering from my unexpected intrusion first. His smile was smooth and practiced, without even the flicker of sincerity. "I didn't expect you. What a surprise!"Lily gripped th

Chapter 3: Sell It
Melody's POVThe moment I got home, I walked into the living room and sank down into the sofa. The silk of my haute couture dress, which I’d specifically chosen for my meeting with the lawyer, draped over my legs. Normally, I’d head straight to the kitchen when I got home to tackle the never-ending list of chores.But not today.Today, I didn’t care about making Adam’s dinner, or ironing his clothes, and ensuring that the faucets in the bathroom didn’t have fingerprint marks on them. Instead, I was going to just relax. Maybe order dinner in. Enjoy a nice glass of merlot.That is, until a small, sticky projectile slammed into my stomach."Gotcha!"Church stood there, a proud grin on his four-year-old face.He lounged at me, and I realized a moment too late that his hands were smeared with thick, black chocolate syrup. He wiped it onto the front of my dress, staining the ivory silk."Church!" I gasped. “Look what you’ve done!”"It looks like poop, Mommy!" he giggled, bouncing up and d

Chapter 4: The Emperor of Night
Melody's POVThe next morning I walked toward the front door, when I heard Adam whistling happily. He was wheeling his suitcase towards the foyer.“Morning,” he said when he saw me. He was wearing a tropical print t-shirt and khaki slacks. “Well, I’m off to the airport. Remember, my aunts are arriving later this afternoon.”“Right,” I smiled dryly at him.He was heading off to the Maldives for a romantic vacation with his mistress, aka my former best friend. But I didn’t care. I was off too…to the lawyer’s office to finalize my 120-billion dollar inheritance.David, my real estate agent, had put in my offer to his client. We were waiting to hear back. Once the house sold, I would have nothing more to do with Adam and his family.The moment I walked into Mr. Vance’s office though, my face fell. He looked pale, with a layer of sweat glistening on his forehead. His tie was undone and his shirt was semi-untucked in the front."We have a problem," he said, stepping around me and locking t

Chapter 5: The Keal Estate
Melody's POVI decided to pay Mr. Summer a visit.I used to think arranging a meeting with such a big figure would be hellishly difficult, I’d even prepared to resort to those “special measures” if necessary.But I hadn’t expected the approval email with the Summers watermark to arrive so quickly.Keal’s home was a veritable fortress of security..My black SUV had to pass through two layers of heavy security checkpoints where we slammed with a barrage of questions.When we finally got to the building and stepped out of the car, there was an ominous feel. The entire area was dead quiet, with only the occasional rustling of leaves breaking the silence. Mr. Vance dabbed frantically at his forehead with his polka dot handkerchief. It was almost drenched right through. He’d been sweating profusely from the moment our car entered the secure perimeter of the private estate."God have mercy," he muttered, clutching his briefcase. "I can’t believe I’m doing this. Visiting Keal Summers? This

Chapter 6: Show Time
Melody’s POVOne week later, and the plan was in motion. I was going to move into Keal’s mansion. He was set to pick me up that night at 8’ o’clock sharp.I was just coming home after a long day of work. My meeting with Keal had left me with a flurry of complex emotions. I was proud, but also a little rattled. I’d done what I’d set out to do. Keal had agreed to marry me.But I couldn’t help wonder if I’d made a terrible mistake. His sharp blue eyes and mocking smile flashed through my mind.The moment I pulled up to my villa though, all thoughts of Keal disappeared.The front lawn was packed with people. Balking at the opulent display, I stepped out of my car. A tower of champagne glasses sparkled under a crystal chandelier set up inside a big, white tent. The air smelled of expensive cigars, flowery perfume, and seared meat.Right.Adam and Lily were back from the Maldives. This was Adam’s meticulously planned "Pre-IPO Celebration."In the wake of Keal, I’d completely forgotten a

Chapter 7: To Upgrades
Melody’s POVThe tent was dead silent.Everyone stared at Harold and me. The only sound was Adam’s ragged, wheezing breaths."What did you say?" Adam’s voice came out pitchy and strangled. He rushed towards us, disbelief on his face. The veins in his neck bulged. "Mr. Keal is waiting for her? You must be mistaken!"Adam stepped forward, trying to block Harold. Shaking my head, I raised an eyebrow. Had Adam gone mad? What was he doing? Clearly Harold was a force to be reckoned with. He’d arrived in an entourage of high security vehicles. What made Adam think he could stop a man like Harold from doing anything?“I assure you. There has been no mistake,” Harold replied, his voice smooth and steady. “Step aside.”“You can’t just take her,” Adam declared. “This is my house. She’s my wife.”“I’m no such thing,” I said flippantly. “You just told me so yourself. Remember? The papers were forged. Now if you’ll excuse me. You heard Harold. Mr. Keal is waiting for me.”“This is ridiculous,” Adam

Chapter 8: Remnants of a Party
Adam‘s POVThe tent was empty. Remnants of the party were strewn everywhere. Half-filled champagne flutes. Plates with nibbled food. The chandelier fixed to the top of the tent cast a glittering glow onto the white tent walls, as though it was mocking me.Everything in the tent was mocking me.My fabulous, opulent IPO party was a complete bust. The moment the bodyguards had pinned me to the grass, chaos had ensued.The guests were rattled by the muscular men with ear pieces. They panicked and rushed towards their cars in a flurry of tulle and tuxedos. Their faces said it all: they couldn’t get out of there fast enough. What if one of the bodyguards turned on them?Keal’s arrival had completely disrupted my entire event.And now…only Lily and I remained in the once-filled tent.“This is ridiculous,” Lily seethed, staring at the mess the fleeing guests had left behind. “None of this makes any sense. What the hell would Keal Summers want with Melody?”Shaking my head, I could only shrug.

Chapter 9: The Summer Estate
Melody’s POVThe drive to Keal’s estate took almost forty minutes.I sat in the car, feeling uncomfortable as we moved through the chaos of downtown traffic. Gradually, though, we made our way through the bottle neck to where the streets grew wider, and the cadence of the city faded.Eventually, the car turned off the main road and we came to a pair of enormous wrought-iron gates. The gates were black, with intricate silver crests. Across the front of them was an elegant emblem that looked like a crown with an elegant letter ‘S’.The massive gates slowly swung open as we approached, revealing a stone guardhouse and security guards. Their backs were rigid, their faces stoic, their black uniforms matching.“Welcome home, Mr. Summers,” one of them said through the intercom.Home.My chest tightened at the sound of the word. That’s what this place was now: home.Once we were through the gates, our convoy rolled along a long private road lined with towering oak trees. Their branches arched

Chapter 10: The Marriage Certificate
Melody’s POVThe next morning, Keal and I arrived at the courthouse, our necessary documents in hand. We walked up the cement stairs, the morning air cool and crisp. “This shouldn’t take long,” Keal said to me as he opened the doors. The line at the clerk’s window was only four people deep. So we grabbed our ticket number and waited.The people in line glanced at Keal, their faces uneasy. One of the women actually shuffled a few steps to the right, away from us, and tightly grabbed her child’s hand. Their thoughts were plain as day on their faces: they all thought they recognized Keal from the tabloids but couldn’t be sure it was actually him.If Keal saw their nervous looks, he was oblivious. He scrolled through his phone, glancing up only when our number was called.“Fifteen.” The red number flashed above the clerk’s window.“That’s us,” Keal said, rising from his seat in one fluid motion.With long, purposeful strides, he approached the clerk’s desk. I had to awkwardly skip-run ju
