The Forsaken Heiress: Becoming The Enemy’s Bride
Adopted into a wealthy family at a young age, Axelle always believed she had finally found the love and security she longed for. But behind the lavish dinners and polite smiles, dark secrets festered, and Axelle soon learned the hard way that blood may be thicker than water, but it can also be deadlier. When she catches her husband—the man she trusted with her heart—in bed with her sister, Axelle’s world shatters. Her heartbreak deepens as she realizes that this betrayal is only the tip of the iceberg. The family she sacrificed everything for has set her up to take the fall for their crimes, using her as a pawn in a game she never asked to play. But Axelle is no longer the naive girl who once craved acceptance. With nothing left to lose, she turns to the last person anyone would expect—her family's most dangerous enemy.
CHAPTER 79
LIAM
Standing before the massive floor-to-ceiling glass window, I gripped the scotch glass so tightly that I feared it might shatter in my hand. My jaw was set so firmly that it ached. The view outside was wasted on me; all I could see was the chaos consuming the project I had poured everything into.
How had it come to this? First, it was the endless struggle to secure funding, a battle that had drained me mentally and financially. And just when I thought that hurdle was behind me—when the funds were finally in place and the materials were on their way—it felt as though the universe had conspired to throw every conceivable obstacle in my path. Now, all I was getting was excuse after excuse, each more infuriating than the last.
