**"Is that really her?" Someone asked. "I thought the photos were edited." Another person added. "She looks even larger in person." Someone else said and then snickered “I give the marriage six months." All the while, Elara kept her gaze on the tablecloth. White silk. Perfectly ironed. She counted the tiny patterns woven into the fabric to distract herself. One. Two. Three.** Elara Hart knew marrying billionaire heir Aaron Blackwood would never be a fairytale… but she never expected to become the unwanted wife living in the shadow of another woman.

Now the woman Aaron once rejected may be the only person who can uncover the truth. If it doesn’t destroy them both first. Because in the world of the Blackwoods, love is dangerous… and someone is watching Elara far more closely than she realizes.

This time, she won’t beg for love. This time, they will beg her to stay.

“I don’t love you and I will never love you, Isabelle Yang!” I froze as the hatred in his eyes held me captive. I knew he wasn’t happy with this arrangement. Neither was I. “But I am your wife, Emerson.” “Wife?” He scoffed, stepping closer until my back hit the wall and I was trapped in-between his arms. “Wife? or the woman who sneakily found her way into my room and got herself pregnant with my child?” His words weren’t the truth. I hadn’t planned to end up in his bed that night—far from it. “You hurt my girlfriend by coming into our lives,” he continued icily. “And I plan to make you feel twice the pain you caused her.” Then he did something worse than yelling—he sanitized his hands after touching me, as if I disgusted him. He walked away, leaving me heartbroken. … Isabelle Yang never imagined her life could spiral into even more darkness after waking up from a one-night stand—the result of catching her boyfriend and twin sister in bed on the night meant to celebrate their two-year anniversary.

But what happens when his love isn’t enough to bear an heir, and he is forced into a marriage with Isabelle—a woman he sees as a mistake. What will become of two hearts trapped in a marriage where resentment and hatred rule every day?

Five years later, she was famous—thanks to Jason pulling strings. Concerts, cash, fans screaming her name. Me? Still grinding at a law firm, backing folks who needed real legal help. Then came the family reunion. She showed up on Jason's arm, smug and shining, throwing shade like it was sport. But when I mentioned I was settling down with someone else? Her face snapped. "I made one dumb mistake! How DARE you move on?!"
