At least, that’s what I believed. Now, he is a powerful billionaire with a brilliant legal mind, lethal charm, and secrets buried beneath everything he has built. When my family’s empire is put up for auction, Adrian offers me a deal I can’t refuse: one year as his wife in exchange for the inheritance that rightfully belongs to me. But I’m hiding a secret that could destroy our agreement before the year is over. I’m pregnant, but the father isn’t the man I just married.

Yet the more time I spend within the cold walls of his mansion, the more I discover that the man behind his charming smile isn’t who I thought he was. Then there’s Jeffrey, Adrian’s stepbrother, whose presence awakens an unsettling familiarity I can’t explain and a fear I can’t escape. The golden mask of the Vale family begins to crack, revealing a hidden inheritance, a mind systematically destroyed, and a truth someone would kill to keep buried. Now, with my unborn child’s life at stake, I must uncover the truth. Because in this house, nothing is what it seems. I signed the contract to save my past. But I may have to reduce the Vale empire to ashes to save my future.
