HER HIDDEN IDENTITY
Seren Arlisse has spent years learning how to disappear.
To the world, she is Seren the quiet accountant’s daughter who grew up ordinary, worked hard, and wants nothing from the wealthy or powerful.
Except none of that is true.
Her real name is Seren Arlisse, daughter of billionaire Octavian Arlisse and heir to an empire powerful enough to change the balance of the city. But when she meets Dorian Valcrest, she chooses something money can never buy: a man who loves her without knowing her name.
So they marry in secret.
For a while, Seren gets exactly what she wanted a life where she is chosen for herself, not her fortune.
Then Dorian’s family starts asking questions.
His mother digs into Seren’s past. His father threatens their marriage over a billion-dollar business deal. A family lawyer is hired to uncover what Seren is hiding. And slowly, the carefully constructed life she’s spent years protecting begins to crack.
Dorian notices the expensive car. The impossible knowledge. The missing pieces. Then he finds a photograph of Seren standing beside the one man she has spent her entire marriage pretending doesn’t exist Octavian Arlisse.
Suddenly, Dorian is no longer wondering whether his wife has a secret.
He’s wondering how big it is.
And when the truth finally reaches his family’s dinner table, Seren has one choice left: reveal the identity she’s sacrificed everything to hide or risk losing the only man who ever loved the woman behind it.
Because some secrets protect you.
Others destroy everything you love.
