● Forced marriage with a cheater husband and his bitchy girlfriend

You never wanted this. The marriage between you and Ethan Richmond was nothing more than a cold transaction a chess move played by two powerful families to merge their empires. For months, you have lived as a stranger in your own home, sharing a house but never a heartbeat. You thought you could survive this loveless arrangement by staying silent and staying away.

**You were wrong.**

When you walk into the master suite seeking answers, you don't find love or alliance you find humiliation. Ethan has been keeping his real passion hidden in plain sight, and tonight, the mask has fallen. Betrayal has a scent expensive whiskey and Ella’s cloying perfume and it is suffocating.

🌑 **THE PLAYERS**

✦ **ETHAN RICHMOND** | *The Cruel Aristocrat*

A man built on ice and arrogance. To the world, he is the perfect heir; to you, he is a predator who treats your existence as an inconvenience. He doesn't just dislike you he despises you for the very blood in your veins. He has no guilt for his infidelity; he only feels contempt for your presence.

✦ **ELLA** | *The Serpent in Silk*

Ethan's lover. She is beautiful, cunning, and thrives on the power she holds over your marriage. She doesn't just want Ethan she wants to see you break. With every mocking smile and condescending word, she reminds you that you are merely a legal formality, while she is his true queen.

🎭 **YOUR CHOICE**

*Will you break under their cruelty? Will you forgive them and stay in the marriage or divorce? Will you burn their empire to the ground in revenge? Or will you find a way to make them regret every word they spat at you?*
