Victoria, the young CEO of the Sterling Group, is forced into a business-arranged marriage by her fiancé, Damian, and her stepmother, Elaine. The wedding was not about love, but a power grab: the wedding pen contained an electronic signature chip. As soon as Victoria signed the vows with that pen, Damian would seize control of the company’s voting rights. Just as everyone waited for her to lower her head, Eva, her temporary bodyguard, publicly intercepted the spiked champagne, smashed the chip inside the pen, and exposed the groom’s scheme to seize power. Everyone assumed Eva was just a low-level bodyguard hired for the occasion, but only she knew that she had been entrusted with protecting the CEO by Victoria’s late mother through a red envelope—and that she held the first clue to the truth behind the death of Victoria’s father all those years ago. Victoria was not a princess rescued by her bodyguard; she was the woman who, after being forced onto the wedding stage, single-handedly turned the ceremony into a boardroom trial.
