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 47

ADAN

I randomly decided to get a gift for Ines after our last argument. It was one of those fights over something that hadn't even happened yet, and I figured maybe a thoughtful gesture would help smooth things over. As I strolled through the jewelry section, I took my time, browsing for the perfect necklace, something that would speak to her taste and maybe even patch things up between us. After a while, I picked out a piece I thought she'd love and headed to the counter to check out.

That's when I ran into Renee. Now, running into her was always… interesting, to say the least. "Hi," I greeted her with a smile, which, to my surprise, she returned. Renee wasn't typically this approachable, but today she seemed a bit more relaxed, even welcoming.

"You came to pick up some jewelry too?" I asked, making small talk as I watched her lift her bag.
