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.
AXELLE
It has now been precisely two entire months since Miles made the decision to take an indefinite leave of absence from his office, leaving Jay fully in charge of the company and all of its responsibilities, simply so that he could accompany me to Turkey for a complete and total facial transformation.
This was not a short or easy commitment; Miles had put aside all his work duties and left behind his busy schedule, just to be here with me. My surgery was booked for next month, and many times, far more than I could even remember, I tried to persuade Miles to return to his business, to his employees who needed him. But every time I asked, he flatly refused, insisting that we must get through this experience together. He believed it was not something I should endure alone.
