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

I sat at my parents' kitchen table with cold coffee in front of me. The silence was enveloping, and I could hardly breathe.

In a way, all this felt like an invisible weight cast upon all of us, the burden heavy, heavier with every minute passing. 


"Brian," Mom whispered, shaking from head to toe, "do you think they'll ever find her? She's just a little girl. She's been through so much." I wanted to reassure her-say we'd get Olivia back, safe and sound-but words wouldn't come.
