"You have only one year to agree to be my wife." That was billionaire Rhys' offer. A contract, a paycheck., a chance to save my grandmother's life, nothing more. He thought I was just a hotel maid desperate for money, poor, forgettable, easy to control. So I signed the contract and promised myself I would never fall for him. But secrets have a way of refusing to stay buried. Because I wasn't just a maid, I was the missing heir to the Vale Empire, the empire my enemies stole, the empire they would kill to keep. And when the truth finally surfaced, the man who once treated me like a temporary solution would have to choose: Protect me... Or become the reason I disappear forever.
