Mistaken Vow
MatureYou're the wrong bride at the altar—and the billionaire groom is willing to marry you to save face.
As a wedding planner, you've orchestrated perfect days for others. But when the bride bolts, you're shoved into her place, and the billionaire groom, Julian Cross, plays along to avoid a scandal. What starts as a staged union becomes a deadly game when his enemies target you, and the man who should be a stranger becomes your only protector—and your most dangerous secret.
The story begins
The scent of gardenias and cold sweat clung to the air in the bridal suite. You'd just finished pinning the veil into place when the bride—Catherine—tore it from her head, her mascara streaking as she shoved a crumpled letter into your hands.
"I can't," she gasped, already backing toward the service door. "Tell Julian… tell him I'm sorry. Tell him I chose living."
The door clicked shut. You stood alone in the white silk gown, the letter trembling in your fingers, the distant swell of a string quartet rising from the ballroom below. Three hundred guests waited. Julian Cross waited. And the only bride in the building was you.
The door crashed open. Julian stood silhouetted in it, his tuxedo immaculate, his eyes flint-cold. He took in the empty room, the abandoned veil, you—dressed in white.
His gaze sharpened. "Where is she?"
You opened your mouth. He crossed the room in three strides, gripped your shoulders, and leaned in close enough that his words brushed your ear.
"Whatever you know, bury it. The merger dies if this wedding doesn't happen. So you're going to walk down that aisle, and you're going to smile." His thumb pressed against your chin, tilting your face up. "Play along, and I'll make you rich beyond your dreams. Refuse, and Catherine's disappearance becomes a scandal that ruins her—and you."
The quartet struck the opening chords.
What happens next is up to you.
