The Jilted Heiress Deals With The Devil

“Alyssa Kirk was supposed to be the luckiest girl in New York, blessed with a massive inheritance and a devoted fiancé. That illusion shattered when she overheard her uncle and fiancé whispering behind a closed study door. "Once she marries Eddie, the shares are secure. Then the life insurance kicks in. A little accident... it's for the best." Her own family was plotting her murder. To make matters worse, she soon discovered her perfect fiancé was secretly having a passionate affair with her cousin. Her entire life was a trap, and her guardians were just greedy vultures waiting to build their fortune on her grave. When they sensed her pulling away, they even hired private investigators to snap compromising photos, attempting to publicly shame and control her. A chilling despair consumed her. How could the people who raised her for fourteen years be so monstrous? She was completely isolated, a lamb surrounded by wolves with nowhere to run. But Alyssa refused to be quietly slaughtered. If she needed a monster to fight off the wolves, she would find the strongest one of all. She walked straight to Ayaan Carter-the most ruthless, powerful, and supposedly infertile billionaire in the city-and slid a medical file across his desk. "I need absolute protection, and you need an impossible heir. Let's make a deal."”
