On the day of the wedding, her half-sister disappeared. Vivienne had spent her entire life sacrificing everything for a family that had never truly loved her. Though she was her mother's only biological daughter, she was always treated as less important than her step-siblings, growing up in a home where love and affection were reserved for everyone but her. Then one day, her mother came to her with a desperate plea. Marry the city's most infamous phantom. Rowan Devereux. People whispered that he was ugly. Broken. A monster who had never left his wheelchair. To save her family's fortune, Vivienne agreed, believing she was sacrificing the rest of her life for people who would never appreciate her. She expected a broken man confined to a wheelchair. Instead, on their wedding night, her husband frowned at her. "Too ugly." She thought they would remain nothing more than strangers under the same roof. Instead, he swore a solemn oath. "No matter how ugly she is, she is still my wife. Anyone who dares to humiliate her will answer to me." She stared at him in disbelief. "Aren't you... aren't you crippled?" The man slowly peeled away the layers of her disguise, revealing the breathtaking beauty beneath, before rising effortlessly from his wheelchair. A dangerous smile curved his lips. "It seems we've both misunderstood each other." The man behind the rumors was neither broken nor helpless. Rowan Devereux was a cold, dangerously intelligent billionaire whose influence could shake the city's wealthiest families. As hidden truths, ruthless enemies, and long-buried betrayals begin to surface, Vivienne realizes their arranged marriage was never a coincidence—it was the first move in a deadly game. She married the man everyone pitied. She fell in love with the man everyone should have feared.
