The Girl He Never Loved

Layla Chen lost her family in a tragic accident years ago—one she can’t remember. Now living in the quiet town of Crawford, she juggles three jobs just to survive. Her foster family? Cold, cruel, and barely tolerant of her existence.



Alphonso Darren is a billionaire by day, commanding the powerful Darren Conglomerate. By night, he rules an exclusive, underground sex club hidden in the heart of Crawford. Charismatic and dangerous, Alphonso lives in two very different worlds.



When a twist of fate throws Layla into Alphonso’s path, the two end up accidentally married. What begins as a whirlwind mistake quickly spirals into something darker. The charming man who swept Layla off her feet isn’t who he seemed that night.



As secrets unravel and danger closes in, will this accidental marriage draw them closer—or will Layla lose herself in Alphonso’s shadowy world?
