“I married the right woman all along…”

***
She becomes the stand-in wife for a reason. But the day her nominal husband divorces her, she panics, and so she burns her alimony down with a smile.

When she thinks she is free from her terrible fate, she finds herself tied to the same marriage with the same fake name. 

As she lives in someone’s shadow, would her nominal husband discover her secret?

EXCERPT:

“Fine. I will accept your marriage proposal on one condition,” the woman across from Aleckin Ferrero said confidently.

“Bring it on.” With the same confidence, Aleckin issued a challenge.

“Alright, then. First, once I become Mrs. Ferrero, I am not required to appear in public. Second, I must remain inside my bedroom the entire time—unless Grandpa wants me to visit him...”

“Hold on…” Aleckin blinked. His brain seemed malfunctioning, as he could not grasp what she was saying. “Come again?”

He must have heard it wrong. Every woman on this planet was desperate to link their name to his. They were killing each other to win him over and become Mrs. Ferrero. 

However, in contrast, the woman he proposed a contractual marriage to, as the fake matriarch of the Ferrero household, has now expressed a desire for a different arrangement.

Who in their right mind would request to lock her up instead of enjoying the lavish life of a billionaire's wife?

This is the first time he has encountered such a thing! 

‘Is something wrong in her head?’

"Rebecca, do you know who that person is?"

Rebecca was playing with other kids at one of the elite parties when Ruslan approached her and brought her to the corner. His hand gestured toward a lounge, where an older man was in the middle, crowded by other big shots in that gathering.

"Rebecca, I want you to remember that face… because that face is the one who ruined our family."

Her smile gradually faded, her soft gaze turned hostile toward a particular person, and the surrounding air suddenly froze. At that moment, her twelve-year-old innocence disappears, replaced by resentment.
