Evelyn Carter, known as the quiet, good girl—the "silent mouse"—is not what she seems. Beneath her unassuming exterior, she’s a brilliant computer hacker and tech genius. Maximilian Sterling, a ruthless billionaire by day and an assassin by night, hides deadly secrets of his own. Thrown into an arranged marriage by their families, neither Evelyn nor Max wanted this union. Max’s father demands an heir, pushing him into marriage with Evelyn, whose father is deep in debt to Max’s family. At first, they are strangers, indifferent to marriage—until they uncover each other’s secret lives. Sparks fly, and against all odds, they fall in love. But when Max discovers Evelyn might be betraying him with his rival, everything unravels—especially when she’s pregnant with Max’s child. Is Evelyn really the traitor Max believes her to be? Or is there more to the story? There’s only one way to find out—dive in and read!

Evelyn Carter, do you take Maximilian Sterling to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or for worse?” the priest asked, turning his focus to me this time while I stood frozen at the altar, dressed up in white as a bride. Still, I didn’t feel like a bride.Because this was all new to me, all against my wishes. I never imagined myself getting married like this, or entering into a contract marriage, to give a legitimate heir to a billionaire, a man I barely know about—a total stranger.“Miss. Evelyn?” the priest asked, and Max gripped my hand, and looked at me with a nervous gaze.“Evelyn?” he asked in a whispered tone. I looked around at the audience who was lookin
Maximilian Sterling: -“I’m going to need you to come to the Sterling Mansion. Right now. We need to talk!”I rolled my eyes as I cleaned off the blood from my cleaver and daggersIf the phone was not lodged between my ear and my shoulder, I’d have taken it off my ear to confirm the caller ID. I know he wants to talk to me about what happened earlier this evening and I didn’t want to talk about it at all. My dad knows I am no longer one to command, I act as I please, but he always gives himself the delusion that he still has some semblance of control over me.“And, like I told you earlier. I don’t want to talk about this at all. End of conversation.” I snapped “Now, if you are done. I need to go and take care of something.”“No, I am not done and you are going to listen to me what I have to say. I don’t want you to marry that woman. After today’s incident. I don’t want you near to her at all. Didn’t you hear her father? She is a whore who has slept with who knows how many men? Women l
Evelyn Carter:-“Joseph, what is happening?” Immediately, my father stood and I saw the horror etched all over his face. He knew well what would happen if my dress was unzipped – Max would see the belt marks on my back; those my father gave me. You cannot let your son come in here and be rude to me and my daughter and tell her to unzip her dress in front of others. I won’t tolerate this."“Maximillian, what are you doing?” Joseph Sterling, Max’s father asked, in a disapproving voice.“Stay out of this Dad,” replied Max aggressively with his blue eyes staring deep into my eyes. “Are you going to do it or not?”"I... I..."I could hardly find my voice and stuttered in reply. His gaze was bleak and yet reassuring, which only made my head spin in confusion and unknown feelings.“Fine, I will do it myself.” With that said, he turned me around, so my back was to him, unzipped my lace dress, and let out a gasping voice of shock when he looked at my back covered with my father’s belt marks all
Evelyn Carter:-"Evelyn, get out of your room, you little brat, and listen to me!" My father continued his angry outburst even though I was upstairs at my computer engrossed in typing. I sank back in my chair and stared at the screen, at the commands and codes I had to perform. Just ten more minutes and I’d finish the job, and earn my payment.I wanted to shout back, just give me ten minutes! but I knew better. My father wasn’t the type to wait. He'd storm into my room any second, just like always—no kno cking, no respect. He had the lock removed ages ago, stripping me of even a shred of privacy."Evelyn, you bitch!" And then right on cue, the door opened. And there he was – with a furious look on his face in his gross three-piece suit. My heart sank. Was he here to hit me again? I stood up, and a feeling of dread gripping my chest, moved backward as he approached.“You didn’t hear me calling your name did you?” He snarled, grabbing a fistful of my hair, and yanking me back hard. My h
