vows of deceptionUpdated at Nov 7, 2025, 22:14
Ava Mirelle made a deal with the devil, and now she's carrying his baby.She was supposed to be invisible. Just a name on a marriage certificate, a green card with a pulse. Damien Veylor needed an American wife to keep his billion-dollar empire, and Ava needed money to save her dying mother. Simple transaction. He goes back to his supermodel fiancée, and Ava stays in the shadows where she belongs.Except nothing about the Citizenship Reform Act is simple.The government wants proof. Surveillance. Check-ins. Photos. They're watching everything, and Damien's fiancée is watching even closer. She knows Ava is just a pawn, and she's ready to crush her the second she steps out of line. Ava thought she could handle being the fake wife, the placeholder, the girl who doesn't matter.Then, two lines on a test change everything.Pregnant. By a man who was never supposed to touch her. In a marriage that was never supposed to be real. Now, the carefully constructed lies are crumbling, and everyone has something to lose. Damien's empire. His reputation. Ava's life.But the biggest question isn't who will survive the fallout. It's whether Damien and Ava will destroy each other first or finally fight back against the people trying to destroy them.Because when you're trapped in a cage, sometimes the only way out is to burn it down.
