Chapter 1

Gwendolyn Quigley sat in the opulent living room of a lavish mansion, her faded floral dress a stark contrast to the luxury surrounding her.

Her estranged mother, Gemma, adorned in a chic designer outfit, held her hand and wept. “Gwen, you’ve toiled away in the countryside, but marrying into the Chadwick family will bring you wealth and prestige.”

A sharp pang of pain shot through Gwendolyn as she realized any hope for maternal love was In vain.

She looked at Gemma with a stony expression and said, “I’m your flesh and blood, and your want me to marry Vivien Sawyer’s fiancé. That man was in a coma after a car accident, practically in a vegetative state!”

Gwendolyn took a deep breath, her eyes reddening slightly.
