Five years ago, billionaire heiress Isabella Laurent destroyed Madison Reed’s life.
She ruined her reputation, crushed her dreams, and made Madison swear to hate her forever.
Now, Madison is drowning in debt, desperate to keep her critically ill brother from losing his life.
Then Isabella reappears with a cold, ruthless demand:
"Marry me for one year. Play the perfect wife. In exchange, every cent you owe disappears."
Bound by a contract she despises, Madison enters a golden cage with the woman she hates most. But behind closed doors, the terrifying CEO turns fiercely protective, quietly buying Madison’s favorite flowers and tearing down anyone who dares threaten her.
When a deadly corporate conspiracy exposes the secrets of their past, Madison discovers the shocking truth:
Isabella never bullied her out of hatred.
She pushed Madison away to keep her alive.
Now their fake marriage is leaked, enemies are closing in, and Isabella must choose between saving her billion-dollar empire—or protecting the only woman she has secretly loved for ten years.
