Alora Maeve Martinez was born into a gilded cage. Her world was a symphony of champagne flutes clinking, silk gowns rustling, and the whispered envy of those who yearned for her life. Her every whim was a command, her every wish fulfilled by the vast fortune her family held. But then, the gilded cage shattered. The empire her family built crumbled, leaving behind a hollow echo of what once was. Their wealth, the very air she breathed, vanished overnight, leaving them gasping for air in a world they no longer recognized. And now, her parents, desperate to rebuild their shattered legacy, had devised a plan. A plan that involved sacrificing their daughter. Alora knew her father's iron will. Once his mind was set, no amount of pleading or protest could sway him. So she did the only thing she could: she agreed. She would marry a man she didn't know, a man chosen for his wealth and influence, a man who would become her key to reclaiming her lost world. But could she, a woman raised on privilege and luxury, find love within the confines of this arranged marriage? Could she learn to love the man she was forced to wed? Alora Maeve Martinez was now the wife of Devin Oliver Fontavilla. A man shrouded in mystery, a man whose wealth rivaled her own lost fortune, a man whose intentions remained a dangerous enigma. Would he be her savior or her downfall?…
