The Cinderella Who Owned The Castle

Synopsis

For three years, I am the nameless assistant, hiding my real identity to help Leonard Shaw build his empire from the ground up. The night we celebrate the company going public, I clutch the pregnancy test in my hand, ready to surprise him with the news. But as I approach the VIP lounge, the chat inside stops me cold. His best friend chirps. "So, the Quinn family is serious about marrying their daughter off to you now that you're the rising star in town. What are you gonna do with your assistant?" Leonard chuckles, "Ava? She's just a toy I'm done playing with." I hear him swirl his glass before continuing, "Perfect timing, actually. I'll gift her to Mr. Walters for the Southside parcel. He's been eyeing her." The words tear through my heart. The man I loved, the man I have given up everything for, sees me as nothing more than a disposable plaything to be traded for a piece of land. But he never knows I am the Quinn heiress. I convinced my father to arrange this marriage proposal. I want to surprise him with the truth after all we have built together. He knows even less that he is practically sterile. With my naturally blessed fertility, I still spend three years trying to conceive his children. I'm carrying his twins.
