Bound by a lieUpdated at Jul 11, 2026, 05:13
Elena Voss never believed in love.
Not after watching her father replace her mother like she meant nothing. Not after growing up knowing that in the end, people always chose convenience over feelings.
So she built her life on something else—control.
A successful lawyer in London, far removed from a past she barely remembers, Elena lives by logic, not emotion. Until one call drags her back to the place she never wanted to return to.
Home.
…not that she ever considered it one.
A wedding.
A family she doesn’t trust.
And nightmares that refuse to let her go.
What was supposed to be a brief visit turns into something far more dangerous when a single night shatters everything.
An accident.
A death.
A lie.
And suddenly, Elena finds herself forced into a marriage with a man she has never met—a man whispered about in power and fear.
Lucien Alessandro Vale.
Hot.sexy.ruthless.Cold. Untouchable. Unforgiving.
A man who sees more than he should.
A man who knows more than he says.
Trapped in a world she doesn’t understand, surrounded by secrets that refuse to stay buried, Elena is left questioning everything
Her past,her family…even herself
Was this all just an accident…
or was this orchestrated ?
Because in this marriage built on lies,
something isn’t right.
The silence is too controlled.
The truth… too buried.
And the deeper she looks—
the more everything begins to unravel.
It might destroy everything.
She scoffs.
Did I say might?
No.
I meant will.
