The Heiress He Let Go

On the night of their third wedding anniversary, Elara set the table for two, but he never came home.

For three years, Elara lived as Thorne Ashford’s wife in name only, a cold and power-hungry CEO, Elara was never more than a placeholder in a deal between two powerful families. She was a wife unloved, a daughter barely acknowledged, and a woman constantly reminded she should be grateful.

Everyone believed she was lucky to have the Vance legacy. But in truth, Elara was only ever a stand-in, the maid’s daughter used to protect the family’s real treasure, Sierra Vance.
