ADAMS A.O

Evelyn Jackson never imagined her life could twist into such a mess. From long shifts at a local restaurant to an unexpected leap into a private office job, she thought she was finally catching a break. But nothing comes easy when your family is built on lies and jealousy. Trapped in a house with a sweet-talking but manipulative stepmother and two cruel stepsisters, Evelyn clings to hope—and kindness wherever she can find it. Richard, a quiet, gentle man from her past, helped her escape the grind of restaurant life, yet now, even his presence raises suspicion. Strange messages. Anonymous calls. A growing fear that someone is always watching. When Evelyn crosses paths with Roberto—a powerful man hiding secrets of his own—her heart is pulled in two directions. Her stepmother's sudden warmth feels too perfect. Clara, her colleague and supposed friend, harbors dangerous jealousy. And the more Evelyn fights for her peace, the more tangled her world becomes in a web of trust, betrayal, and secrets. In a world where no one is exactly who they seem, Evelyn must choose wisely who to trust, who to love, and who to fear. Because behind every mask is a truth that could shatter everything.
