In the glittering world of wealth and power, where every smile was calculated and every gesture choreographed, Ann Sinclair is left wondering ‘what had she truly signed up for? Now that she was married to Lucas Montgomery, the internet giant. The game of marriage had begun, and neither of them knew just how dangerous it would become.

With a deep sigh he eyed his wife from the corner of his eyes then took a step towards the lady to say softly, “Could you come with me, please?”Ann brows furrowed, “Are you crazy?”The lady looked from Lucas to Ann with a confused glance then responded, “I don't even know you.”Lucas muttered, “But I do know you, you are_,”“Look, I would love to stay and watch your beautiful reunion except right now I don't have all day.” Ann growled out, eyeing the lady with a scrunched nose.Lucas doesn't even spare Ann a glance, his attention fixed on the woman before him looking at him like he had just grown three heads.Ann jaw clenched, her fingers fisted. It was very obvious Lucas wasn't going to pay her any attention, and with one last
Ann watched as Lucas got out of the car without bothering to glance in her direction completely ignoring her existence. “Lucas,” she called after him but the blockhead was already by the side of the road getting ready to cross. Her eyes widened in shock as she poke her head out of the window to get a better view of him. So what, he was going to walk home because he was not in the mood for their conversation, “What a dick,” she mumbled under her breath and hurriedly pushed the door of the car open. She wasn't letting him out of her sight that easily and besides their conversation was far from over.“Luc_,” she tried calling again but the rest she had of it died down in her throat as she watched as Lucas crossed the road like a blind fool, causing cars to blow their horns at him and some to stop abruptly. “Oh fuck, he really is crazy.”Ann immediately went after him but right after she ensured it was safe to cross the road. She was not planning on dying soon and some reckless man was n
Lucas could tell from the way Ann was tensed that she was just as unprepared for this family meeting as he was. Forcing a smile onto his face, he moved to his wife, reaching for her hand and pulling her close. “All good things I hope?” He joked, flashing his best smile to Ann's parents.Mrs. Sinclair's gaze softened. “You have nothing to be worried about, son.”Ann made an act of clearing her throat.He tightened his hold on her hand in warning. Now that he was seeing her up close, he could see the resemblance between her and his mystery lady from yesterday night. He couldn't believe he made such a stupid mistake.“Ann just arrived but the food is set, you just have to say the word,” Mrs. Sinclair announced.Lucas smiled, she was the easier parent to handle, unlike Mr. Sinclair who was so hard to deal with. “Great, Mrs. Sinclair. I can't wait.”Lucas quickly reached for his pocket and pulled out the diamond bracelet that was inside. He had picked it up from the hotel room his mystery
“I want your best room,” Ann told the receptionist. She was staggering a lot and her appearance was now a mess. The fact that she kept giggling every five seconds was enough to conclude that Ann Sinclair Montgomery was drunk and alone in an empty hotel lobby. The receptionist took in Ann's appearance, “Are you certain you don't want help getting to your room?”Ann shook her head and released a loud belch, “No, I'm fine. On my own. I don't need any man. You know why?” She waited for the receptionist to shake her head before she spoke up again, “Because I'm an independent woman. I do my shit all on my own.”The receptionist shook her head, looking around briskly and then back at Ann. “I would appreciate it if you keep your voice down.”Ann gasped, grasping the table for support as she stumbled forward. “Is your boyfriend here? Does he get jealous easily? Is that why?” She whispered, regarding the receptionist with curiosity.The receptionist let out an exasperated sigh, “I’m sure you a
Ann still couldn't understand why she was angry. She kept telling herself so many times that she didn't care about Lucas or the fact that he didn't try to contact her during the past three weeks of his disappearance after the day of their wedding. She didn't give a damn about Lucas and so she should be bothered that he didn't bother to call or act like he gave a damn about her either. She looked down at her free ring finger and scoffed, this was not how she expected her new life to be going. Yes, she was having the time of her life getting her dreams accomplished. It has always been her biggest dream to be a model but her parents were always against it claiming she didn't need to work and should Instead be focused on becoming the perfect doting wife_ an involuntary shudder went down her spine even at the thought of her parents' plan for her. When her parents broke the news of their marriage plan for her, Ann thought it was the end of her dream of becoming a model. A part of her expec
“Are you alright?” Ann stared at the hazy figure standing before her, trying to make sense of what was happening. “Who are you?”“Thank you for saving me, I'll find you. I promise,” the voice told her softly and everything went blank.Ann's eyes snapped open as she jolted out of her sleep, a sharp pain coming from her back going straight to her brain. She groaned, turning over so she was now resting on her stomach, burrowing further into her bed. Her back ached. It must be acting up because of the strange dream. It had been a while since she had those dreams and luckily for her Lucas wasn't around to witness it, she thought staring at the space beside her.“I can't believe I'm married,” she mumbled to herself as she continued to stare hard at the untouched side of her matrimonial bed. Suddenly losing her sleep, Ann pushed up the bed and ran her hand over her husband's side of the bed and wasn't surprised to find it cold. It seemed she had been wrong about him after all_ before she c
The venue was decorated elegantly with dark, glowing colors that complemented the flashy dresses worn by the guests. Ann Sinclair sat still where her mother had placed her, twirling a glass of wine between her fingers while her eyes stayed fixed on the man, Lucas Montgomery standing at the other end of the hall. She huffed as Lucas conversed with the women that surrounded him while he paid no attention to the woman he just married.In frustration, she drowned the wine in her cup as she took her time to study her new husband; Lucas Montgomery. He stood out perfectly amongst the guests, dressed impeccably in a black fitted three-piece suit that clung to his muscular build. His short black hair slicked back, and his black piercing eyes were bright with mischief as he interacted with the people around him. Ann wasn't angry, she just expected he would pay her some extra attention, especially on their wedding day.“Ann, what are you doing here?” The sound of her mother's voice snapped her
