The Replaced Bride's fortune
“As the adopted child of the Steward family, I was the glass child, the last child, the black sheep, the ignored. I wasn't wanted, I was chosen. Chosen to become the one to uphold their 'social standings'. They had no care for me, they picked me, they saw the quiet, bullied girl in the orphanage who was constantly picked on but couldn't fight back. And they decided that I was the perfect choice, to be the poster child that cleaned their poorly received social standings. Now, I've been promised to the devil CEO in place of my runaway older sister who decided to run merely days before her engagement ceremony. Adrian was no sweetheart, he was cold and standoffish. Not a man of many words but a man with a commanding presence. I thought I would forever be miserable in the marriage but luck shined on me because my new husband wasn't what the media and the rumor made him to be. He may very well be my fortune. But my happiness has never been guaranteed, just when I thought I could finally be happy, secrets, snakes and unfolded memories threaten to ruin it.”
