CHAPTER 1

The white ceiling of the ward was the first thing Lily saw, but it meant nothing to her. Neither did the generic hospital gown, the smell of antiseptic, or the name written on her chart.Lily Grace Hart.She repeated it in her head, trying to find a spark of familiarity, but there was only a dull, throbbing ache behind her eyes. The doctor said the crash had done something to her brain—a temporary blank slate, they called it. But to Lily, it felt like being a ghost in her own skin."Are you sure she’s ready to be discharged?"The sharp, feminine voice from the doorway made Lily flinch. She turned her head slowly, her muscles stiff.Standing there was a woman who looked like she belonged on a fashion runway, not a public hospital floor. She wore a tailored beige coat, her perfect blonde waves cascading over her shoulders. Beside her stood a tall man in an expensive charcoal suit. His hand was resting casually on the woman's waist.Lily’s heart did a strange, painful flutter at the sigh

CHAPTER 2

The warmth of the skyscraper’s lobby did nothing to stop Lily’s shivering. Her wet sneakers left muddy tracks on the polished marble floor as she struggled to keep up with the man’s long, effortless strides. He didn't look back at her once, yet his presence commanded the entire space. Security guards and receptionists bowed their heads in absolute silence as he passed.They entered a private elevator. The doors slid shut, sealing them in a quiet, glass-walled box that began to ascend rapidly.Lily pressed her back against the glass, her hands balled into fists to hide their trembling. She looked at the man standing a few feet away. Under the bright elevator lights, his profile was strikingly sharp. He was taking off his damp leather gloves, his movements slow and deliberate."Who are you?" Lily’s voice cracked, sounding incredibly small in the enclosed space. "How do you know my name?"The man didn't answer immediately. He tucked the gloves into his coat pocket, smoothed down his lape

CHAPTER 3

The silence stretched between them, heavy and suffocating. Lily stared at Levi, her mind trying to process the words that had just left his mouth.Fiancée.She looked down at her damp, oversized hospital clothes, then back up at the man standing before her in a suit that probably cost more than everything she currently owned. It felt like a sick joke, a continuation of the nightmare that had started the moment she woke up in that hospital bed."Your fiancée," Lily repeated, her voice barely audible over the soft hum of the penthouse’s climate control. "You want me to pretend to be your fiancée."Levi took a slow sip of his drink, his gray eyes never leaving her face. He swirled the amber liquid in his glass, the ice clinking softly against the crystal. "It’s a simple arrangement. You need a roof over your head, protection from the people who erased you, and eventually, the truth about who you are. I need a weapon.""I’m not a weapon," Lily said, her jaw tightening. She hated how small

CHAPTER 4

The guest suite on the east wing was larger than the entire hospital ward Lily had just left behind. Silk sheets, soft lighting, and a bathroom that smelled of eucalyptus did little to calm the frantic beating of her heart.She stood in front of the vanity mirror, dressed in a borrowed silk robe that felt too smooth against her scrubbed skin. The doctor Levi had called had already left, pronouncing her physically exhausted but otherwise fine. Now, she was alone with her reflection. Without the mud and the hospital grime, her face looked painfully pale. Her eyes looked too big, haunted by a past she couldn't reach.A soft knock on the double doors broke the silence.Lily tensed, pulling the lapels of the robe tighter around her throat. "Come in."The door opened, but it wasn't Gideon. It was Levi.He had discarded his suit jacket and tie. The top two buttons of his crisp white shirt were undone, the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing strong, tan wrists. He carried a leather-b

CHAPTER 5

The Grand Ballroom of the Plaza Hotel hummed with the sound of clinking champagne glasses and low, elite chatter. It was a sea of glittering diamonds and tuxedo-clad men, but Lily could barely see any of it. Her vision was tunneling, her heart a frantic drum behind her ribs.He tried to kill me.Levi’s words from the previous night played on a brutal loop in her head. She looked down at her hands, encased in delicate silk gloves, gripping the edge of the velvet-draped balcony railing. She wore an emerald green gown that fit her perfectly, her hair pinned up elegantly, but underneath the expensive armor, she felt like she was suffocating.A heavy, warm hand settled on the small of her back. The sudden contact made her flinch, but the familiar scent of cedarwood and clean luxury instantly grounded her."Breathe, Lily," Levi’s deep baritone cut through the noise of the crowd. He was standing right behind her, his chest nearly brushing her shoulder. In his midnight-black tuxedo, he looked
