Stand-ins, contract marriages, having your relationship stolen by a vicious best friend who’s also a fake heiress, and nearly being framed as a corporate spy!
· A hero saves the damsel? ✓ (Then makes her mop the floor!)
· Marriage before love? ✓ (But his idea of affection is, “Your breathing is too loud”!)
· Forced romance? ✓ (Comes with 24-hour surveillance and a package of verbal cold violence!)
· He finds out his wife is the real heiress? ✓ (His first reaction: “She must be after the family fortune”!)
· He suspects the child belongs to someone else? ✓ (And kindly awards the kid the honorary title of “bastard”!)
After his wife “disappears” in a river, she returns five years later with a genius son, and the chase-your-wife-to-the-crematorium begins.
Reader advisory:
· Please don’t imitate the leads’ ideas about love, or you may need an entire Pacific Ocean to hold your ashes.
· Includes plenty of classic melodramatic scenes like “Ah! So she isn’t my sister!” and “Ah! So she didn’t steal the documents!” They serve no purpose beyond giving the author practice, so have your blood pressure medication ready.
· Enjoy, and remember: In real life, this kind of man gets blocked, not forgiven!
