Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase

Chapter 761:

To Ethan, that was the best news he’d heard all night. His excitement bubbled up before he could stop it. If the marriage wasn’t genuine, then maybe there was still hope for Maia and JusticeBlaze. Although she hadn’t gone into detail about the favor, Ethan didn’t need to hear it. He believed she had her reasons, and with that, all his lingering doubts faded away.

Still, something tugged at him. He tilted his head slightly and asked, “Then who did you end up marrying?”

Secrets still guarded, Maia’s answer was gentle but firm. “I can’t reveal his identity yet,” she told him, her gaze shadowed and steady. “What matters is this: our marriage is only for appearances. There’s nothing real between us. He won’t play any part in my life or in our family.”

Moving closer, she locked eyes with Ethan. “So, will you keep this arrangement to yourself? If Kathie or anyone else gets curious, just say you don’t know anything — that I have my reasons for keeping it secret.”

Ethan placed a hand over his heart, his voice steady as he made a promise. “You can count on me. Your secret’s safe — I won’t breathe a word.”

His sincerity touched Maia. For a moment, she let herself relax, ruffling his hair with a grateful smile. “Thanks, Ethan. Really.”
