His Wrong Wife, His Right Obsession
"I wore my sister’s diamond ring to survive. I never planned to steal her monster of a husband."
----
"You disgust me, Serena. Don’t think for a second this ring means I won’t ruin you."
Those were the first words Julian Cross ever spoke to me.
My twin sister, Serena, had it all—the glamour, the billion-dollar inheritance, and Julian, the ruthless, untouchable king of the city’s underworld. I was the hidden twin, a secret our family buried in the shadows to protect their perfect image. While she wore diamonds, I dealt cards in an underground casino just to survive.
Until the night Serena vanishes, leaving behind no evidence of her whereabout.
With a fragile corporate empire on the verge of collapse, my family gives me a deadly ultimatum: step into Serena’s designer heels, wear her wedding ring, and fool her terrifying husband. Just until they find her.
I thought the hardest part would be pretending to know a world of wealth I'd never touched. I was wrong. The hardest part is surviving Julian.
He and Serena didn't just have a loveless marriage; they were locked in a venomous war. But when I don't flinch at his cruelty, when my street-smart instincts take over and I fight back instead of cowering, the cold hatred in Julian’s eyes shifts into something far more dangerous.
Obsession.
"You've grown claws, little wife," he whispers, pinning me against the mahogany desk, his dark gaze dropping to my lips. "Keep fighting me. I'm finally starting to enjoy it."
But in Julian's world, every lie has a price. The closer he gets, the closer he is to realizing I'm a fraud.
And then, the phone rings. It’s Serena. She isn't dead. And she wants her husband back.
