Evelisse Saint Laurent knew she had ruined everything the moment she became entangled with the infamous cold billionaire, Draven Virelli. Driven by her family’s greed and desperation for their approval, Evelisse did the unforgivable—she drugged the powerful billionaire and spent one reckless night in his bed. A single mistake shattered Draven’s seemingly perfect relationship and bound Evelisse to him forever when she discovered she was carrying his child. But Evelisse was never the villain everyone believed her to be. Behind the luxurious Saint Laurent name was a broken daughter—abused, neglected, and treated like nothing more than a pawn by her own father. Ever since her mother’s death, Evelisse had lived like a ghost, craving the love and validation her family would never give her. So when her father ordered her to secure the Virelli clan at all costs, she obeyed. Now trapped in a marriage with a man who despises her, Evelisse is forced to endure humiliation, betrayal, and endless heartbreak. Every cold glance from Draven reminds her of the sin that tied them together. Yet one thing refuses to make sense. Draven Virelli insists he was never the man she spent that scorching night with.

And somewhere behind the throne of the Virelli clan sits a man far more terrifying—and far more obsessed with her—than Draven himself. In a world ruled by money, manipulation, and bloodlines, Evelisse Saint Laurent must decide whether she wants the crown… Or the man willing to destroy people just to keep her.
