“Minutes before her wedding, Alyssa found her fiancé, Preston, tangled in the backseat of a car with her stepsister. They weren't just having an affair; they were plotting to lock her in a psychiatric ward to steal her mother's priceless legacy. Instead of crying, Alyssa walked down the aisle and broadcasted their sickening video on the massive altar screen. But her family's cruelty ran deeper. Her stepmother drugged her right in front of the elite guests, dragging her away under the guise of a mental breakdown. When Alyssa woke up, she had been sold for ten million to the infamous Strickland family to clear a debt. They locked her in a decaying room, offering her as a sacrifice to the scarred, violent "Beast" of the East Wing, who was known to tear his brides apart. Trapped in a bloodstained wedding dress, Alyssa realized her family didn't just want her committed; they wanted her tortured to death in the dark. She refused to let them win. Escaping the madman's room in the dead of night, she stumbled straight into the bedroom of his brother-the ruthless, untouchable CEO, Jabez Strickland. Staring down the barrel of his loaded gun, noticing his agonizing migraine, she made a desperate gamble for her life. "Keep me out of the East Wing, and I will give you the first painless night of sleep you've had in years."”
