Elena Wiltshire's dreams were coming true; she just got accepted into her dream school without the sway of the powerful Wiltshire name! But when her twin sister's engagement to Sebastian Dumont, the wealthiest CEO in the UK, falls through due to her shameful ways, Elena is forced by the familial matriarchs to take her place to avoid an upper-class scandal. Will Elena survive being married to the cold, egotistical CEO especially when he's hiding a secret of his own.

The CEO's Second Choice!

A flutter at my bedroom door gets my attention, and I see Mirabelle saunter in with a beaming smile on her face. This makes me want to break down, and I feel light at the same time; everyone is expecting me to be okay with this, but I am not. I know this needs to be done, but yet again I am everyone s second choice.

"Elena, darling!" she exclaims, taking in my wedding attire with her eyes filling up with unshed tears. "You look beautiful, my dear. This dress altogether compliments your body well."

I genuinely smile at her compliment. Ever since I found out she preferred me to my sister, I have been seeing a different side to her. She certainly wanted me to be with Sebastian, but cared about my happiness as well and felt it lay with her son.
