Once an heiress with everyone at her beck and call, Valerie lost everything after a single revelation. Six years later, Valerie is back to marry the 'poor' man her five years old daughter, Ruby has chosen to be her daddy. In the process, Valerie seeks to reclaim all that belongs to her and also to exact revenge on her enemies. What Valerie didn't see coming was that she would unlock a pandora box of secrets that would throw her and her daughter's life into more chaos. Greg Sinclair, the highly sought-after young billionaire, pretended to be a poor construction worker in order to become a part of Valerie and Ruby's lives. When he finally wins their trust, will he be able to hold his ground or will he be kicked out by both mother and daughter when his identity is revealed?
Greg halted before him, his eyes boring into the man's soul. "While I'm still in the mood to hear your side of the story, go on," he said, his voice dripping with menace.
The man's eyes darted around the room, searching for a reprieve, before fixing on Greg's ominous mask. He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing in his parched throat.
"So-someone came to me," he stammered, his voice cracking like brittle glass. "He offered me a huge sum of money to lend him my identity."
The words spilled out in a desperate rush, as if speaking them quickly might reduce their weight. "My family needed the money, so I couldn't say no." His voice trembled, like a leaf in an autumn breeze.
The air was heavy with tension, thick as the scent of sweat and fear. Greg's expression remained impassive, his eyes boring into the man's soul like cold steel.
