The crippled heir & the forgotten daughter
Reads
Aurora Bennett’s life shattered the day her mother died. In no time, her father remarried a sweet-talking woman whose daughter, Lila, became the center of attention. While Lila wore smiles like armor and charm like perfume, Aurora faded into the background, stripped of love, voice, and eventually, her place in the family.When her father’s company faces total collapse, he seizes a final lifeline: marrying Aurora into the capital’s most powerful family — the Moores. Their only son, Adrian Moore, was once the pride of the empire until a devastating car accident left him in a wheelchair. Rumors whisper that it wasn’t an accident, and the shadows in his eyes suggest the same.Aurora steps into the Moore estate — cold, grand, and ruled by unspoken rules. Adrian is distant, bitter, and suspicious. His parents are controlling, and his grandfather, the feared patriarch, is the true power behind the empire.What starts as a business transaction slowly grows into something more — a bond formed through pain, resilience, and a shared desire to break free of the chains their families forged. But with a scheming stepsister, bitter in-laws, and dangerous family secrets threatening to surface, will Aurora and Adrian’s fragile love survive?
