The bride that never was
When her meticulously crafted marriage to Elijah Rossi shatters on her wedding night with a brutal revelation: "There is no us, Imogen. There never was." Imogen is abandoned by her husband and further faces an even crueler twist when her husband refuses a divorce. With the arrival of Isaac Rossi, Elijah's revenge-driven half brother, Imogen strikes a clandestine deal with her brother-in-law to navigate a dangerous game of deceit, seeking to outmaneuver her indifferent husband. As loyalties are tested, Imogen must decide which brother is right for her. The one she was made for or the one she burns for.

IMOGEN'S POV
As Isaac's words sank in, a cold dread washed over me. My mother. If what he was saying was true, she had no idea what she'd just walked into.
"I have to go," I blurted out, already backing towards the door.
Isaac's brow furrowed. "Imogen, wait-"
But I was already moving, my heels clicking rapidly against the linoleum floor as I half-walked, half-ran through the hospital corridors. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat seeming to echo the urgency I felt.
I burst through the hospital's main doors, the bright morning sunlight momentarily blinding me. The parking lot was bustling with activity, doctors and nurses changing shifts, visitors coming and going. I looked around frantically, relief flooding through me as I spotted a cab dropping someone off.
"Taxi!" I called out, waving my arm as I rushed towards it.
