The Bride's Shadow

Mature

You're the security expert who nearly ruined him—and now he's marrying you for revenge.

You've infiltrated billionaire Adrian Voss's wedding as a planner, but he's recognized you as the woman who sabotaged his biggest takeover years ago. As the ceremony approaches, he's determined to expose your true identity while you race to uncover his darkest secrets. With your cover crumbling and desire igniting, this lavish affair becomes a high-stakes game of secrets and seduction.

The story begins

The champagne flute trembled in your hand—no, his hand, a man's manicured fingers wrapped around the crystal stem. You watched yourself in the mirror of the estate's grand foyer, adjusting the bow tie of your rented tuxedo. Adrian Voss's voice cut through the murmur of catering staff like a blade.

"Miss Marsh tells me you're the best," he said, appearing beside you with no warning. His cologne was expensive, his smile colder than the marble floor. "My wedding coordinator. How fortunate."

You turned, meeting his gaze with the practiced calm of someone who'd buried her real name years ago. "Your guests deserve nothing less, Mr. Voss."

His eyes traced your face—lingering on the curve of your jaw, the way you held yourself. Recognition flickered there, dark and certain. He knew. The woman who'd cost him four hundred million in Zurich. The face he'd never forgotten.

"I appreciate attention to detail," he murmured, leaning close enough that his breath ghosted your ear. "I noticed things. Always."

Marcus appeared at his shoulder, a shadow in military posture, his suspicion a physical weight.

"Enjoy the evening," Voss said, and walked away.

What happens next is up to you.
