« Is it not enough that I have been 'sold off' as a catalogue bride but also have to compete with a dead woman for favour? »

Shelby looks like she has it all. The perfect family and all the perks that come with it. But she must go through a 'forced contract marriage' and also compete for the attention of the man she had been unwillingly tied to...

Ian lost the love of his life so suddenly that his mind still refuses to accept that reality. He gave up everything and secluded himself until his mother found him a bride. His one task was to give the family an heir but how can Ian do this when the air he breathes all revolves around the one woman he can never have. However, he finds himself in a predicament and dilema when the new contracted bride is thrust into his life unwittingly... especially, when he finds out that she is more than meets the eye.

Aliya's Shoes

After Katie had been ushered out, the only sounds in the room were the light and periodic tweets and chirps of the birds outside, coming in through the window.

"What are you going to do with her?"

"Find out what she knows and what she had been tasked to do."

"Will …. Will she be alive afterwards?"

"If you want her to be…." Ian added swiftly, holding his mother's gaze.

Geneva sighed, "I – She has been with me all these years a-"

Ian simply said and Geneva did not continue. The tacit understanding had been reached.

"It's about time for the new mistress of the Thornston household to take over."

Geneva and Alex nodded, "Suzie is more than enough to handle and oversee the household." Geneva was pained, and she tried to hold that in. Her hunch had been correct. She had kept this from Katie but never knew that Katie would send the message across as soon as she heard of it.
