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 air inside the pub was thick with murmurings and the strong pungent smell of hops, but it did absolutely nothing to take the edge off the storm brewing inside my skull. I leaned back into the creaky wooden chair, my glass of whiskey untouched as I stared blandly at the condensation sliding down its side. 


Across from me, Alex's frustrated stare joined the concerned one where my elbow leaned against the table. "Say it again, Kellan, because I am really sure I must have gotten it wrong the first ten times." 


I rose from my slouch to his voice, eyes narrowed in agitation. "I was saying, I saw Olivia. She is alive, Alex." 


Alex let out a low groan and rubbed a hand over his face. "And I'm telling you, you're chasing ghosts." 


“Don't," I snarled, my hand slapping onto the table. A few of them turned to stare, but I ignored them. My voice dropped to a roughened whisper. "I know what I saw. She looks just like Olivia."
