Flash Marriage With The Secret Heiress Novels & Stories

For a moment, I just stand there, breathing hard, staring at the mess I’ve made. Then I pour myself a drink. Scotch, neat, the expensive kind.

Georgia might have fooled everyone else with this whole “secret Ashcroft heiress” reveal, but I know the truth. Deep down, she’s still that scared, desperate girl who married me because she had nowhere else to go.

“Just signed.” Lily Evans has been my best friend since our Yale days, the kind of woman who turns heads without trying, who can charm an entire room and still catch your eye like she’s only talking to you.

You? With someone like him? Kaya, this is a twist no one saw coming.”

“Of course.” She took a step back away from me. And that distance felt worse than anything else. “You asked me to marry you.” “You stood there and told me you wanted a future with me.” My chest tightened. “And all this time...” Her gaze locked onto mine. “You had this big of a secret?” “ “It’s not like that.” “Then what is it like?” Rue asked.

She refused to think about that anymore. The door opened without knocking. Mireya rushed in. “Ma’am,” she said, breath uneven for once. “This is everywhere.” Alessa lifted her eyes slowly.

That he knew she had been forced. But his expression gave nothing away. “This is crazy,” she whispered. “I can’t just agree to something like this.” “I’m not asking you to answer right now,” Max said calmly. “But I needed to be honest about my intentions.” Mia felt like she might throw up.
