Novel & Cerita Family Secret

Elena Hunt was always the invisible daughter, treated as nothing more than a convenient scapegoat by her cruel stepmother and narcissistic stepsister, Cassandra. But when her family needs to secure a vital business alliance with the city’s most formidable dynasty, they hit a dead end: Cassandra refuses to marry the groom. Adrian Vance was once the crown jewel of the Vance empire, but a horrific, staged accident left him rumored to be a wheelchair-bound, impotent "monster" with a disfigured face. Desperate to save Cassandra from a life with a "freak," Elena’s family frames her for a corporate crime, giving her a brutal ultimatum: marry the crippled heir, or watch them desecrate her late mother’s grave. With her dignity stripped away and wearing a cheap, ill-fitting wedding dress, Elena is forced into a hollow ceremony where she is made the ultimate laughingstock of high society. Alone and abandoned, she is sent to Adrian's isolated, fortress-like mansion, bracing herself to face a broken beast. But midnight brings a shocking revelation. There is no creak of a wheelchair. Instead, heavy, commanding footsteps echo through the dark bridal chamber. Standing before her is a man who is anything but broken—a towering, flawlessly handsome Alpha Male radiating a lethal aura. Adrian Vance is not a helpless outcast. He is The Archon, the brilliant and ruthless puppet master secretly controlling the city's entire economy from the shadows, executing a cold-blooded master plan to destroy the family that betrayed him. Realizing Elena is no ordinary spy but a fierce survivor burning with the same thirst for vengeance, Adrian offers her a dangerous pact: act as his dutiful wife to shield his secret identity in public, and in return, he will grant her the absolute power to burn the Hunt family to ash.
