To save her dying mother, Livia is forced to replace her half-sister and marry Adrian Aston, a disgraced “broke” outcast. What begins as a desperate trade—her freedom for a hospital bill—turns into a dangerous alliance. As Livia survives humiliation, false accusations, kidnapping, and assassination attempts, she discovers Adrian is not who he claims to be: he is the hidden heir to the Aston fortune. But his secrets are only the beginning. Livia soon learns that her own identity, a 30% stake in the Deville Group, and the truth behind her biological father’s death were stolen from her decades ago. With both families tied to a deadly conspiracy, Livia and Adrian must expose forged evidence, buried records, and a man who has lived under a stolen name. Yet even after the truth comes out, one question remains: was their marriage ever real—or can a love born from lies become a choice?
