William has spent years inside Seraphina's company under a fake identity, quietly steering contracts her way and clearing obstacles she never noticed, all so she could shine. His plan was simple: marry her, then tell her who he really is.
A week before the ceremony, he finds the marriage paperwork she already filed, with her male secretary listed as her husband. When she brushes him off as replaceable, William stops holding her up, goes home to claim his inheritance, and lets the company feel exactly how much he was carrying. Seraphina's fall is slow and public, and by the time she understands the scale of what she discarded, William has already reconnected with the childhood sweetheart who never needed him to pretend.
