Olivia thought her life was going to be perfect after she was adopted at a legal age by the Brookes couple, who were well-known businessmen in New York. 

She later found out that the reason for her adoption was only for a marriage agreement because the Brookes couple only had a male child and needed a female child to fulfil their end of the bargain. 

Things got worse for Olivia when she realized her fiance, Kellan hated her to the core and had another woman in his life, and she had no choice but to go through with the marriage. 

Will Olivia be able to survive all the troubles she would go through in the hands of Kellan and his girlfriend who would do anything to get rid of her?

Arranged Bride

The next morning, Sharon stirred in her bed and flipped open her eyelids to soft light filtering through the curtains at dawn. I had barely slept, keeping close watch on her, and finally, this was the moment. When at last she did, a wave of relief mixed with trepidation washed over me. 


I had dreaded this conversation day in and day out, but there was nothing that could take away from its inevitability. 


"Hey," I said low and soothing, inclining a bit in my chair. "How do you feel?" 


Sharon blinked several times to accustom herself to the light, and finally her eyes fastened on me. Her voice was weak, a small smile working its way onto her lips. "I'm still alive?" she attempted joking, but it came out so sad. 


I made myself smile, but it came out a little false. "Yeah, you are. Thank God for that." 


She shifted in the bed some and winced in pain upon moving. "I'm so sorry, Kellan. I didn't… I didn't mean to cause you all this trouble."
