LOGINSeraphina Hale has spent her entire life believing she was unwanted. Abandoned as a baby and raised in abject poverty by the woman who saved her, she never expected her powerful biological family to return. But when a life-threatening illness leaves her desperate for money, they offer her an impossible deal: impersonate her missing sister and marry billionaire CEO Adrian Kingsley. For three years, she must live another woman's life. What begins as a business arrangement quickly becomes dangerous when Adrian starts noticing cracks in the lie. As secrets unravel, Seraphina finds herself caught in a world of wealth, betrayal, corporate warfare, and family conspiracies buried for decades. Because the truth isn't just that she was abandoned. The truth is that someone spent twenty seven years trying to erase her existence. And the woman everyone thought was worthless may be the most powerful heir of them all.

Even the tiles were heated, I'd never seen anything like it before. I never even knew such beauty existed. Richard Hale had done his thing and I can't lie, it was impressive. But for some reason my nerves were everywhere.This morning, I get married to the ‘absolute love of my life’ and assume a life as his lawfully wedded beloved wife.I rinsed my mouth and looked at myself in the mirror. The woman staring back at me looked exhausted.Dark circles sat beneath my eyes despite the expensive skincare products someone had left in the room, my hair was pulled back, my skin looked pale, my eyes were dull, no matter how much I tried to force life in them. I barely recognized me.Richard and his cohorts had moved me into The Meridian two days after I signed t
Adrian's POVThe projector had been running for forty minutes now, I was getting real bored of this damn meeting. "Third quarter projections show a fourteen percent growth margin in the Asian market," Henderson said from the far end of the table. "If we move aggressively on the Seoul acquisition before December—""We're not moving on Seoul."Henderson stopped clicking. Around the table, six other people stopped whatever they were pretending to do and became very still. They knew I meant business whenever I spoke in that tone.“Page forty-seven of your own report," I said. "The subsidiary agreement with their logistics partner. There's a conflict clause buried in there that activates the moment we absorb the parent company. We'd be walking into a seventy million dollar legal dispute we had absolutely nothing to do with."Henderson stared at me. "I didn't—""I read your report twice, Henderson. I found it the first time."He closed his mouth and nodded once, bowing his head in shame.N
Sera’s PovThe first call I made was to Diane.We had been friends since college and she was the closest friend I had. She had a job at a marketing firm downtown, her boyfriend drove a decent car and they lived in an apartment that had a dishwasher. By my standards, Diane was doing well."How much?" she said."Whatever you can manage. Even if it's a loan, I'll pay it back.""Sera." She sighed. "I have rent due next week. I have my own things going on for me, I also need money.""I know, I know, I'm sorry. It's just that Martha desperately needs this. The money isn't for me. You know how Martha has been there for me, even for you when mum died. Please I have no other—""Jeez Sera, calm down for a minute okay? Have you tried the hospital's large bill assistance?""First thing I did."Another pause. Longer this time. "Look Sera. I'm sorry about Martha. I really am. But there's nothing I can do for you right now. You need to understand that, okay?"She hung up. I sat with the phone in my
Sera's POVI was fed up with the attention we were drawing outside so I opened the door and led him in.He stood in my living room like he had every right to be there, his eyes making one slow pass around our space, the water stain on the ceiling, the secondhand couch and throw pillows all in different designs, the cushion I had stitched back together twice, the stack of bills on the counter. His expression did not change. He had that same look of disdain plastered on his face."Sit down, Seraphina.""You're in my house," I said. "You don't get to tell me what to do. In my house."He looked at me for a moment. Then he moved to the couch and sat down himself, adjusting his jacket like the expensive piece of clothing might catch a disease. I stayed by the door."How do you know my name?""I know a great deal about you." He reached into his jacket and produced a folded document, then he set it on the coffee table without opening it. "I know you are twenty seven. I know you work three f
Sera’s POVThe number on the billing sheet was the worst shock of my life. Apart from the fact that my own family abandoned me.I had been bracing this for three weeks, recalculating those figures every night, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect this figure.“Excuse me doctor, what did you
