Betrayed by her fiancé on their wedding day, naive Juniper is trapped in an unwanted arranged marriage to a disabled stranger named Lucian. But her new husband turns out to be someone else entirely - the passionate stranger she met at a club, who has been faking his disability to secretly build a corporate empire. As Juniper grows closer to this mysterious man of many faces, her betrayers from the past resurface to threaten her newfound happiness. Caught in a web of lies, manipulation, and legal battles, Juniper starts questioning if she can truly trust the ruthless tycoon she has pledged her life to. Just as she begins to find her inner strength, a shocking revelation about Lucian's relationship with her former fiancé leaves Juniper reeling - has she fallen into another betrayal more twisted than she could have imagined?
The incessant ringing of my phone woke me up on Monday morning. I groaned in Lucian's arms, relishing his body heat, wishing I didn't have to get up.
But my phone wouldn't stop ringing.
I reached for it atop the dresser, albeit a sigh and stared at the caller. It was an unknown number. It was 6 a.m. I could hardly think of anyone who would call me so early in the morning. Unless it was utterly important.
I answered the call tentatively and raised my phone to my ear slowly.
"Hello?"
"Good morning Mrs. Juniper," a cheery voiced called. "This is Miranda from Keller Real Estate Holdings. We met the other day, when you barged into my boss's office."
"Oh." I tried to remember her. "You are Orion's secretary?"
"Yes ma'am. And I'm calling in respect of your new position at the firm. There's a general board meeting at 9 a.m. and mr. Keller would like to get a chance to introduce you officially to the team. Can you be here by 8?
