Synopsis
Ella Carter never imagined her name would be tied to scandal, secrets, or a billion-dollar empire. Forced into a sudden marriage to the cold and commanding Xavier King—heir to a powerful legacy—she believes she’s just a pawn in a game she doesn’t understand. But behind Xavier’s icy gaze lies a man battling shadows of his past, and behind Ella’s quiet strength is a truth even she doesn’t fully know.
When old family secrets begin to surface—secrets involving mental institutions, betrayal, and a child erased from history—their marriage of convenience turns into something far more dangerous. As enemies close in and lies unravel, Ella and Xavier must decide whether their fragile alliance can survive... or transform into something real.
In a world where love was never part of the plan, can two broken hearts fight for a future they didn’t choose—but might desperately need?
