Question - What does an ambitious journalist and the wife of a successful writer have in common? 
Answer - Getting to the truth, chasing the money, and then each other of course.

This is a story of a reclusive writer called Curtis. He came out of nowhere, became the New York Times best seller overnight and accumulated wealth beyond measure.

The trouble was nobody knew how he did it, because he refused to give interviews.

Cue Jake, an equally obsessional journalist who didn't take no for an answer. 

However, getting to meet the reclusive Curtis was only half the battle. He didn't account for the duplicity, and deception he'd have to uncover just to get to the truth.

I looked at his eyes and put up a strong face. His eyes bore into mine as much as mine into his. It was like he could read my mind and reach out to my soul just by looking into my eyes. I tried to read his thoughts, too, but it felt like he had blocked me out this time. Nothing seemed clear to me anymore. Tears were burning behind my eyes and threatening to pour out. I forced myself to hold them back and asked him, "Just revenge?" Without a ting of emotion on his face, he said, "Just Revenge." ********************************************* Amelia Lawson had a perfect life.

Betrayed. Broken. Gone. Laura thought she had it all-a loving husband, a loyal best friend, and a life she cherished. But everything shatters the night she walks in on her husband, Lorenzo, tangled in sheets with her best friend, Victoria. Heartbroken, she demands answers, but instead of remorse, Lorenzo coldly tosses divorce papers in her face. Her pleas fall on deaf ears, and with no choice left, she signs them and leaves. But Laura has one secret-a secret she takes with her as she disappears from his life. Five Years Later... Laura Roberts has risen from the ashes, now the powerful billionaire heiress to her father's empire. Her past feels like a distant memory-until a reporter's probing question pulls her back into the spotlight. "Miss Roberts, can you finally tell us what really happened with your husband five years ago?" Before she can respond, a familiar voice interrupts, dripping with confidence. "You will not ask my wife any further questions about me. I never stopped loving her," Lorenzo declares, stepping out of the shadows. Stunned, Laura spins around. How did he find her? "I'm not your wife!" she fires back, her voice steady. "Not yet, darling. But I've made arrangements. We're getting remarried... *today.*"
