Love is a lie and the biggest enemy of revenge… “ Do you think I'd choose a wife I know nothing of ? Do you think you can approach me if I didn't let you ?” Lucian spat. Meet Marielle Paige, a master of masks and identities, a twisted manipulator. A man ? A woman? She could do both. She had spent years coming up with a revenge plan to avenge her mother who died after being used by her father. To achieve this, she needed to latch onto important personalities. Ones that would be so lovestruck to do anything. Then her third pawn–Lucian Zayne. A CEO, Powerful, ruthless and indifferent. She needs his power to achieve her goals and with this target in mind, she infiltrates his life, first as a maid, then as a contract wife. All this she did while also hiding her Identity as Daniel cole from him. As Daniel cole, she was a journalist whose sole intent is to instigate and manipulate the public to believe what she wanted. But, she wasn't the manipulator all along but the manipulated. Lucian Zayne–a psychopath who hides his personality behind cold indifference and charming beauty. He knew all along and has been playing her from the start. But then again, once in a lifetime, the heart always chooses whom to love. The game of masks and manipulation turns into something else. It becomes obsession, two manipulators of shared trauma seeing each others pain and shedding each others masks. But Marielle is more obsessed with revenge and has dragged Lucian into it. A pawn or a lover, the end will dictate.
