Maria never imagined she would marry a billionaire, especially not under a contract. After her mother’s death, Maria becomes the sole provider for her struggling family. With a crippled sister to care for and a sick father whose treatment costs more than she can afford, her life is filled with endless work, humiliation, and sacrifice.

But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous everything becomes.

On Valentine’s Day, someone stabbed my mother-in-law twenty times until she died. So, I took the murderer to court. My wife was a renowned lawyer, but she decided to defend him. I confronted her in anger, but she casually replied, “Derek’s younger brother is still a college student. Can’t you be a little more forgiving? “I’ll bring Derek and his younger brother along to visit your mother’s grave. Drop the charges. Don’t let this go to trial and embarrass me when you lose the case.” Looking at the mangled corpse full of stabbing wounds, I could not help but let out a bark of laughter. It looked like she was still unaware that the corpse was actually her own mother.
