“Addie stood outside the hotel suite, clutching a velvet box to surprise her fiancé. Instead of a romantic reunion, she pushed open the door to find a red stiletto on the carpet and her fiancé, Jennings, tangled in bed with a blonde stranger. What shattered her wasn't just the betrayal, but his casual cruelty. "Without my money, she'd be bankrupt in a month. She's a bore," Jennings scoffed to his mistress. When Addie dumped him on the spot, Jennings made good on his threat. He instantly pulled all her startup's funding, pushing her life's work to the brink of collapse. Even worse, her own father disowned her, demanding she apologize to the cheating heir just to save their families' corporate merger. Cornered, humiliated, and stripped of everything, Addie made a reckless, insane decision. To permanently sever ties and spite them all, she grabbed a random, dusty construction worker she bumped into on the street and dragged him straight to City Hall. "I need you to marry me. Right now." She thought she was just using a penniless stranger for a quick, paper marriage. But a week later, an impossible $50 million anonymously dropped into her failing company's account, and a predatory client who harassed her was brutally beaten by terrifying men in bespoke suits. Addie stared at her quiet, sweet "construction worker" husband, suddenly realizing she had accidentally married the most ruthless billionaire in Chicago.”
