She’s cold, calculating, and worth billions. He’s loyal, quiet, and ten years her junior. A marriage of convenience was supposed to solve Amelia Hayes’ problems not create new ones. But with a jealous ex-friend hellbent on revenge and a dead sister’s abusive husband circling like a vulture, Amelia and Adrian must fight not just for custody but for survival. And somewhere between the lies, the danger, and the late-night kisses… love might just be the biggest risk of all.

Amelia Hayes was practically the beauty queen of the city. She made heads turn just at one glance and even though she was thirty five, she looked nothing like her age. It was just one big paradox.Adrian slightly nodded his head as he realized he was losing concentration. He focused on the dance.Lyra's soft hands on his shoulders gently slipped away as their dance was now over. The blonde lady was all smiles and giggles as she happily walked away from the dance floor. She winked at Adrian and his face slightly crumbled as he tried to make meaning of it.Adrian scoffed and rolled his eyes and adjusted his tuxedo.Amelia, however, was now standing at a far end of the room. Adrian noticed an uneasiness in her gaze as she stared at him from where she stood. It felt as though she had a thousand words to say, but she only start
At one of the grandest decked courtroom, a little crowd stood in complete anticipation of something they never saw coming. A wedding! Amelia Hayes wedding. The clicking sound of cameras and the buzzing sound of reporters speaking in hushed tones filled the room. Amelia was the first to arrive at the courthouse. She alongside a luxurious row of vintage cars made a magnificent entrance as the cameras captured every moment. Amelia wore a red tuxedo and had her hair laid carefully on her back.

She looked nothing like the typical bride, but she still looked absolutely stunning.The paparazzi didn't take this juicy piece of information likely, because the headlines were already reading, " Amelia Hayes finds love." " A bride at thirty -five." " The clash of worlds."As they followed through their busy gossip, silent gasps followed as Amelia made her entrance, walking on those silhouette heels gracefully and with eleganc

Adrian found thick sweat profusely pouring out of his skin as he walked into his home.He quickly picked a few pairs of clothes and immediately headed out to the hospital.Mrs Martha Cole , Adrian's beloved grandmother had been hospitalized for months. It had been a normal routine for him to shuffle between his job and the hospital.He always held back his inner struggles but today, he just couldn't take it.Amelia actually asked him to marry her for a fee.
