For ten years, I quietly loved Ethan Hayes, pouring my heart into him, always hoping. My vibrant sister, Veronica, lay in a coma, a silent, fragile presence in the hospital. Then, outside her room, I heard Ethan's voice, raw with devotion. He'd marry me, not for love, but only to be closer to Veronica. I was a tool, a mere placeholder. My world, like the coffee cup in my hand, shattered. Forced to save my bankrupt family and fund Veronica's experimental treatment, I entered a cold pact: marry Marcus Thorne, a powerful, enigmatic billionaire rumored damaged. When Veronica awoke, she relentlessly sabotaged my life-my art, my future-leaving Ethan blindly defending her every cruel act. How could the man I adored betray me so utterly, while the feared "monster" I was forced to marry showed me a startling, unexpected kindness? Was my fate to be forever shadowed, misunderstood, and discarded? Yet, as Veronica's manipulative facade crumbled and Ethan's desperate actions turned tragic, I uncovered Marcus Thorne's true self: a man with a hidden past linked to mine, not broken, but fiercely protective. Could this forced marriage be my unexpected path to reclaiming my life and finding a love beyond anything I'd imagined?
