Until the day a black car pulls up and billionaire tycoon Victor Hale claims her as his daughter. Emily is overjoyed. But soon, she discovers he didn’t come with love. Instead, He came with a contract. Within days, Emily is thrust into an arranged marriage with Adrian Cross, the country’s most ruthless and untouchable billionaire. Cold and calculating.

One that could change Emily’s entire identity. One that proves she was never meant to be Victor Hale’s daughter. When betrayal, corporate warfare, and a shocking kidnapping threaten to tear everything apart, Emily must decide who her true enemy is. The father who used her? Or the husband who might be risking everything to protect her? In a world of power, lies, and stolen empires, love is the most dangerous gamble of all and this time, the heiress is done being a pawn.

She was never meant to be captured. Isadora Valen is the last thing anyone expects from a vampire heiress; quiet, composed… and dangerously powerful. Gifted with the forbidden ability to weave dreams, she can slip into minds, bend memories, and trap enemies in illusions they may never escape. But when she is kidnapped by Axel Draven—the ruthless Alpha of the Nightfang pack—her world shatters. He took her for one reason and one reason only: revenge. Years ago, his family was slaughtered, his pack destroyed… and every trace of evidence led back to the Valen bloodline. Now, he has their precious heiress in chains. Only… Isadora isn’t what he expected. She doesn’t beg. She doesn’t break. And worst of all—she dares to walk into his dreams. As the line between hatred and obsession begins to blur, buried truths claw their way to the surface. Because the night Axel lost everything… may not have happened the way he remembers. And Isadora? She might be the only one who knows why. But in a war built on lies, falling for your enemy is the deadliest mistake of all.

Elara never believed in things she couldn’t explain. Not ghosts. Not fate. Not destiny. Her life was simple—study, work, and protect the only family she had. Until the night she turned eighteen. The night she saw something she couldn’t ignore. At first, she thinks it’s just her mind playing tricks. But the more she tries to forget it, the clearer it becomes— the dead aren’t just appearing. They’re reacting to her. And whatever they see… it’s enough to make them step back.

"Do you also want to marry me?" she asked him.  Although the wording was wrong, they were both getting married, so he agreed to "marry" her.  Having a child and taking the wife's surname seemed like no big deal to the big boss.  Surprisingly, he decided to retire and become a stay-at-home dad, shocking his brothers!

Everyone speculated that this marriage would come to an end, and even Nan Wan thought so too. However, Mr. Mu said to her, “Wanwan, I need you.” So, the days in prison didn’t seem as unbearable as imagined.
