Daniel Thompson, the disgrace of his powerful family. A man branded as a good-for-nothing ex-con, shunned by society, and deemed unworthy of even a passing glance. No sane woman would dare marry him… except for Maria, the forsaken daughter of the Falcone family, who unknowingly walks into an arranged marriage with a man cloaked in shadows. But Maria didn’t just marry a stranger, she married a two-faced maniac. A man with a past so dangerous it could shatter everything. A man whose enemies whisper his name in fear. What happens when the world discovers who Daniel really is? Why did he bury his true identity in the first place? And most chilling of all… what twisted plan does he have for his new bride? Two black sheep. One deadly game. When secrets unravel and sparks ignite, will Maria regret the day she said, “I do”?

I checked the number again and it was indicated as Vance Hudgen. How is this possible? Could this be a scam? Immediately I received an email and was shocked to see that it was actually from RD Company, they just accepted me into their company. 


I was astonished and my mind raced with a thousand questions. Why would the CEO of the biggest company in the United States call my phone to tell me this, why couldn't the staff or someone else call me? 


I vividly remember Gabriella saying she was dating him and she officiated things. How come he called me himself after so many weeks and gave me the job?


I didn't realize how long I had kept him hanging on the call. 


"Hello Mrs Maria, Are you there?" he called out. 


My mind immediately came back to reality. "Yesâ€¦ yesâ€¦ Yes, I am so sorry sir. So sorry for keeping you hanging. My apologies." I pleaded.
