first love

Liam Maron's arranged marriage to Mia Young seemed doomed before it even begun, as Mia and her family despised him, thinking he was a cheap opportunist out for her family's wealth. Little did they know that Liam was actually a renowned divine healer, and the heir of the most powerful and influential family in the world, who had returned to the city silently on the path of revenge. However, she would soon realize who her husband truly is, when Natalie Young, a young woman who Liam saved, steps into her husband's life, unraveling dangerous secrets about Liam, and a storm of vengeance brewing in the shadows.

Julian’s heart skipped a beat. His mind raced as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing. He knew Ethan and Eva were close—too close at times—but this was different. This felt... wrong.

He scrolled back through the messages, his hands trembling as the truth slowly sunk in.
