Planning His Wedding, Sleeping In His Bed

Pike Modern

“At her lavish engagement party, Kayden Reynolds thought she was about to marry the man of her dreams. That was until she hid in a dark lounge and overheard her fiancé, Carter, whispering to her stepsister, Megan. "Once we're married and I control her trust fund, we'll have her doctor falsely advise that carrying a child is too risky. Then you, my love, can give me the real heir." Her world collapsed overnight. Desperate, she traded her body to Carter's ruthless, terrifying cousin, Brook Edwards, for help, only to find herself trapped in his cruel game. Then came the devastating blows: her innocent, imprisoned father was violently attacked and isolated. When she sought comfort at home, her own biological mother violently beat her, screaming that she wished the stepsister was her real daughter. They even demanded Kayden hand over her future firstborn to Megan as compensation. When she refused, Carter blackmailed her with a fabricated, scandalous video of her father, threatening to have him killed in prison if she didn't sign away her entire fortune. Why was everyone she loved trying to destroy her? Her fiancé treated her womb like a disposable tool, her mother treated her like a curse, and her father was being tortured behind bars. Looking at the malicious, triumphant smiles of her fiancé and stepsister, Kayden wiped the blood from her cheek. She would no longer be their victim, even if it meant making a deal with the devil himself to tear their lives apart.”
