Beatrice Rivera's life appeared to be the epitome of perfection.
As the sole heiress to the Rivera Empire, she possessed everything you could ever wish for-beauty, brains, and wealth. When her parents organized a marriage of convenience for her with a fellow elite who seemingly doted on her, it was assumed no better match could possibly exist.
Sadly, nothing is ever as it seems.
Beneath the designer dresses, alluring smiles, and extravagant jewelry, Beatrice was a prisoner. For years, she hid a terrible secret that could destroy the perfect life that had been designed for her. As her wedding loomed closer, so also did her fear that her secret would be betrayed in the worst way possible.
However, everything changed one night. Not only was she forced to reveal her treacherous secret to her parents and fiancé, but she also discovered she wasn't the only one who had hidden skeletons for years.
Would she ever be able to break the cycle of lies and manipulation that surrounds her?
Or would she forever remain imprisoned by secrets?

He crossed his arms over his chest, aligning his muscles and raising his ash polo shirt, giving her a great view of his Calvin Klein boxers. Being a chicken, she avoided his steamy gaze and gave an excuse to use the toilet. She ran into the master bedroom and stared into the mirror. Her flushed reflection didn't deflect the daring gaze Jonathan had burned into her. "I thought people only ran when they were chased." He spoke from the door, his lean body relaxed against the frame. His voice teased her and pleased her. He moved closer before she could utter a lame excuse. He stopped less than a foot away from her. She cranked her neck to look boldly at him.

I was slowly remembering everything. "I hate you!"I shouted seething from anger as I gritted my teeth to stop myself from attacking him. He was really tempting me and I knew it wouldn't be long before I would attempt to pull his face apart and rip out his throat. "Not more than I hate you Alexander Norman. Trust me." He said emphasising on the name that seemed so foreign to me yet that was my real name. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he seemed to enjoy the internal battle I was having in my head. " So back to my story-" He drawled in an attempt to irritate me before he continued. " Your mother married me because I had her secret and I threatened to ruin her with it if she did not give in to my wishes." "And what exactly was her secret?" I asked. "She killed your father." He responded and glanced at me probably waiting for my reaction at what he just said. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Scandals brew in the air once more.
