The wife they never expected
On the night of her anniversary, Anna Santos walks into her boyfriend’s bedroom wearing the red dress her best friend helped her choose… only to find them together in his bed.
Humiliated and betrayed, she runs into the rain—and into the life of Xavier Cortez, a powerful CEO known for his cold control and untouchable reputation.
Weeks later, the world is shocked when Xavier announces his bride.
No one expected it to be Anna.
Not her ex.
Not her former best friend.
Not even Xavier himself.
What begins as a contract marriage soon turns into something far more complicated as Anna steps into a world of power, pressure, and hidden expectations.
But when her past resurfaces and threatens everything she’s built…
will she remain the wife they never expected—
or the woman no one can replace?
