Everyone sees her as a leader.
No one sees the reason she became one.
A high-achieving student balancing school, city duties, and church life, she appears unstoppable. But behind her polished image is a past she ran from and a truth she's never spoken out loud.
Because sometimes, the strongest people aren't strong by choice.
They're strong because they had to be.

I Too Had An Unrequited Love Story
She's running from her past. He never believed in fate. But when life collides, love might be the most dangerous game of all. Veronica Ray, the youngest and most mischievous Ray, is known for her charm and carefree spirit. But beneath the smile lies a life she's desperate to keep hidden-a past filled with secrets and regrets. Trust, for her, is a luxury she only extends to family. Arek Alden is New York's coldest business tycoon. Ruthless, calculated, and emotionally detached, he sees the world through a lens of logic and control. But when Veronica crashes into his perfectly ordered life, chaos follows. What starts as a fake marriage spirals into a passionate game neither of them saw coming. She's everything he shouldn't want. He's everything she vowed to avoid. But the more they try to keep it business, the more the lines blur between hate and something dangerously close to love. Their worlds unravel, and with it, their carefully guarded hearts. - "Tell me, Veronica, are you really happy now?" Arek's voice was low, but the bitterness was unmistakable. Veronica's throat tightened. "Arek, please listen to me. I'm so sorry," she whispered. "Sorry?" Arek let out a dark, humorless chuckle. "What the hell am I supposed to do with your fucking 'sorry'?" His grip on her arm tightened. "Tell me," he roared. Veronica couldn't look at him. Her tears fell silently. "Stop crying, Veronica," he snapped. "This innocent act-just stop. It won't work this time. Do you think you can ruin everything and then walk away because you're crying?" She remained silent. "You always ruin everything for me. Every. Single. Time," he whispered coldly. "It's either business or my life. You fucked with both, apparently." - A slow-burn romance tangled in secrets, tension, and undeniable chemistry. Perfect for readers who crave passion with a punch of mystery. Disclaimer- This book is filled with mature language, a series of curses, and some mature scenes.Complete
