Lena always believed life was simple: work hard, protect her family, and keep her dreams small. But when her mother’s health takes a drastic turn, Lena faces an impossible choice. Desperate to save her, she accepts a deal from a ruthless CEO, Mr. Langston, who promises to cover her mother’s treatment—if she’ll spy on his business rival, Elias.

Thrown into Elias’s world, Lena quickly learns he’s not just a cold-hearted CEO but a man scarred by betrayal and loneliness. As she grows closer to him, her loyalties waver. But when a stunning secret about her past comes to light, Lena’s whole life flips upside down. She isn’t who she thought she was—she’s the true heiress of the family fortune, stolen at birth by none other than her so-called “sister,” Vivian. 

Now, Lena must navigate a labyrinth of lies, forbidden love, and powerful enemies determined to keep her from her birthright. But with her heart caught between revenge and love, Lena realizes the truth is even more dangerous than she imagined. Will she claim her rightful place and find happiness, or will betrayal and ambition tear her life apart?

Into the Arms of the Cruel Billionaire

"Is there something on your mind, Reed?" Lena asked with a casual tone.

"I just wanted to say… I appreciate how thorough you're being. It's not easy to lead under this kind of pressure." Reed said hesitating.

"Thank you, Reed. That means a lot." Lena said with a faint smile.

As he left, Lena couldn't shake the subtle tension she'd felt in his presence. It wasn't the first time she'd noticed it, but now, every interaction felt like a potential clue.

Later that afternoon, Emilia knocked on Lena's door, a stack of papers in her hands.

"I found something, it's probably nothing, but it stood out to me." Emilia said, closing the door behind her.

"What is it?" Lena asked with curiosity.

Emilia handed over a contract from three months ago.
