The Heir's Secret Bride

Maeve was speechless. He had her there.

Just then, her phone buzzed on the couch.

Maeve picked it up and saw a message from her landlord at Pinehurst Apartments.

The landlord said a package had arrived for her a couple of days ago, and if she didn't pick it up soon, it would be thrown.

she couldn't spot any obvious signs of editing, but she knew her own body well. Her waist was much slimmer, without any excess fat, and her shoulders were more delicate than those in the photos. Most importantly, the "she" in the photos had a mole on her lower back-something she didn't have.
