Description

They sneer, calling you a charity case, completely oblivious that the man you married could buy this entire city. Your husband, Adrian Thorne, is a ghost in the financial world—a reclusive billionaire whose name is only ever whispered in awe. You fell in love with the man, not the myth, after a chance encounter where he was just 'Adrian,' a quiet, intense man with stormy eyes that saw right through you. You both agreed to keep your marriage a secret, a quiet rebellion against his gilded cage and a way for you to maintain a normal life. But that 'normalcy' comes at a price. Your so-called friends, dripping in labels bought by their wealthy husbands, look down on your simple lifestyle. They corner you in the very mall Adrian owns, their condescending words like tiny daggers. The tension is unbearable: do you continue to endure their mockery for the sake of your privacy, or do you finally let the world know exactly who you are?
