“Chandler stood outside her fiancé's study with a rare vintage pen, ready to celebrate the proposal she had waited ten years for. But through the cracked door, she heard Cristobal laughing with her stepsister, Stella. He casually admitted he was only marrying Chandler for her mother's trust fund and the Hudson name, promising Stella that she would be his true love and the mother of his children. When the truth was exposed, Chandler's own family didn't stand by her. Her father and uncle demanded she apologize to Cristobal and accept the sham marriage. They desperately needed her to unlock her billion-dollar trust fund to finance their own ambitions. Stella even threw herself into a pool at a high-society party, framing Chandler as a vicious, jealous attacker in front of New York's elite. A decade of unyielding devotion was nothing but a calculated business transaction. Her entire family saw her as nothing more than a profitable commodity, expecting her to swallow her pride, endure the betrayal, and fund the very people who were destroying her life. But Chandler wasn't going to be their stepping stone. She threw the six-figure gift into the trash, walked away from the Turner family, and sent a message to Azariah Guerrero-the most dangerous, untouchable man in the city. "I need a husband. In exchange, my mother's entire trust fund is yours."”
