The Hidden Ledger
MatureYou saw too much at the gala — now you must play his fiancée to uncover the truth.
When you witness a billionaire's partner collapse dead and catch a glimpse of a damning document, you become the sole witness to a decade-old crime. Instead of silencing you, the tycoon proposes a dangerous alliance: you'll pose as his fiancée while you both hunt for the real killers. As you're swept into his world of penthouses and power plays, you can't tell if he's your protector or the monster you should flee. The closer you get to the truth, the harder it is to resist his gravity — and the more you question who's really pulling the strings.
The story begins
The champagne glass shattered against the marble floor, its crystal shatter swallowed by the string quartet's swell. You'd been watching Marcus Vane for the better part of an hour—the way his hand trembled when he raised his glass, the sweat beading at his temple despite the ballroom's chill. Then he clutched his chest, and his eyes found yours across the crowd, wide and knowing, as if he'd been waiting for exactly this moment.
He fell before you could move.
You knelt beside him, fumbling for a pulse, but his phone had skittered free—screen still lit, a message thread open. Ten years, Julian. I kept your secret. Now you keep mine. The name above it burned into your mind: JULIAN CROSS.
Someone screamed. Security swarmed. And then a hand closed around your elbow, firm and unyielding, pulling you up and away from the body.
"Don't say a word," a low voice murmured against your ear. "Not here."
Julian Cross steered you through the crowd, his smile fixed and perfect for the cameras, his fingers digging into your arm like a brand.
What happens next is up to you.
