Introduction​Ariel Anderson thought marrying Noel, the charming heir to the powerful Anderson Global, was her fairy tale ending. She traded her modest, working-class life for the gilded cage of immense wealth, sustained only by the fierce devotion of her husband.​But the Anderson dynasty demands purity. Henry Anderson, the family patriarch, views Ariel’s “poor background” as a fatal stain on his legacy. His passive contempt explodes into active malice the moment Ariel announces she is pregnant with twins.​Fearing her presence will compromise a dark, secret empire known only as Operation Lighthouse, Henry orchestrates a brutal, staged car accident and threatens Ariel with the permanent loss of her children. To save her twin daughters—Asian and Esther—from the crushing power of the Anderson name, Ariel makes the ultimate sacrifice: she vanishes, forcing her husband to believe she was a selfish coward who abandoned him and their unborn child.​Three years later, Noel is a heartbroken, ruthless CEO, haunted by his loss. When a chance encounter leads him to a small seaside café, he discovers the horrifying truth: Ariel is alive, and she has raised his daughters in secret.​Now, Noel must confront the monstrous truth of his father's betrayal and the devastating lies that separated him from his family. With the Anderson empire in freefall and a ruthless accomplice, Victoria Hayes, trying to claim Noel's future, Noel must choose: cling to the toxic legacy that ruined his life, or destroy it all to finally bring his lost wife and daughters home.​
