The Genius Lawyer's Inescapable Arranged Marriage

Anywho Modern

“Drew Sanchez, a top-tier D.C. lawyer from a powerful political family, had just ruthlessly destroyed her cheating boyfriend's life without shedding a single tear. She thought she was the absolute master of her own fate. That was until her grandfather forced her into an arranged marriage with Joseph Barron IV, a terrifyingly powerful White House advisor. Refusal meant financial and political ruin for her family. To escape the trap, Drew played a desperate game at the engagement dinner, acting like a vapid, soulless, and submissive trophy wife to disgust him. But Joseph cornered her in the hallway, his dark eyes seeing right through her elaborate charade with terrifying amusement. Instead of rejecting her, he walked back into the dining room and used her fake submission entirely against her. "I see no reason to prolong the courtship. We should move forward with filing the marriage license immediately." In front of both cheering families, Joseph dropped the bomb. Drew's blood ran cold as she realized her brilliant sabotage had spectacularly backfired. She was completely trapped in an irrevocable contract by a man whose true motives she couldn't begin to comprehend. Why did this apex predator want to marry a woman who was actively trying to deceive him? Staring at the glittering Capitol dome that night, Drew downed a glass of whiskey. Since there was no exit clause, she would have to learn his rules. This marriage was going to be her new battlefield.”
