Authoress Gifted
On her wedding night, Nadine Ivory learned exactly what she was worth to her family and her new husband.
A useless substitute.
Forced by her parents to marry billionaire heir Adrian Kingsley in place of her twin sister, Nadira, Nadine walked into a marriage built entirely on lies and humiliation. While she stood before him in a white wedding gown, Adrian did not even look at her face, instead whispering another woman's name as he slept beside her.
The next morning, the truth finally came out. Adrian discovered she was not the bride he expected, and he immediately branded her a scheming gold-digger who had stolen her sister's rightful place.
His family despised her, her own parents completely abandoned her, and Nadira played the perfect victim while Nadine suffered alone in a massive, empty mansion.
For one long year, Nadine lived like a ghost. Unwanted, unloved, and completely invisible.
Then, on the day their secret agreement ended, Nadine walked away with nothing but a broken heart and a secret growing inside her.
Twins.
Seven years later, Nadine returns to the city as the mysterious CEO of Hartwell Technologies, a billion-dollar empire that everyone wants to partner with. She only came back to finalize her long-overdue divorce and cut the final tie to her past.
Instead, she finds Adrian staring at her children with a look she has never seen on his face before.
Regret.
Because the woman he once discarded is now the woman he cannot have, and the twins he never knew existed may become the very reason he loses his heart forever.
