You married him but his heart belongs to her. Now it's your wedding night but she's in your bed.

"Even when I touch you, I'm thinking of her. You’re not the one I want to come home to."

Dalton, the heir to Salvini Couture, finally tied down. After years of dedication in preparation to take over the company and having to pick those close to him carefully, the final piece he needed was you. An arranged marriage between your parents helped secure a bright future for the business, but to him, it was all bleak.

He was supposed to marry her. Not you. But the contract is signed, the wedding bells have rung, and she's the shadow that has always been there. You're in the place meant for her, and so he'll give her the wedding night that was meant for you.

She's the one he confides in, not you. Now you're married, but are you really his wife?
