After being forced to marry a man she didn’t know to save her father’s gambling business, Cassie thought her life would end badly. She had no choice, as her father threatened to stop paying for her sick mother’s treatment. Therefore, she decided to accept everything, even though she knew her life would change from what she had dreamed of. At the very least, she knew her bad days would begin because she was marrying the man who had lent her father money. However, she was wrong. Nothing changed in her life. The marriage was only a married-on paper that meant nothing; her husband didn’t even show up on their wedding day, as if the marriage was completely unimportant. They signed the marriage documents separately as if it were just a fake marriage. She never meets him, but they have an agreement that she must agree to if she doesn’t want him to destroy her father’s business. However, that was all that happened. After the wedding, she still lived with her mother and continued her previous life. A year after her marriage, Cassie applied for a job at a big company that brought many changes to her life. And from there, everything changed. What if her new job leads her into a shocking life? What if Cassie discovers that her boss is a cold-blooded mafia leader who is willing to kill with his gun on his hands? And what if she finds out that her ruthless boss is her husband, whom she has never met? *** “Did you keep my wife’s identity? I need her photo on something. I think she just applied for a job at my company without knowing that I am her husband.”~Christopher Drew Alexavier
