Gemma Braun's world crumbled in an instant when she discovered a web of lies and deceit surrounding her. The shocking revelation of her sister's affair with her husband and the brutal murder by her brother left her heartbroken on her deathbed. With a desperate plea for a second chance, Gemma resolved to confront those who had wronged her, accompanied by the wealthiest man in Atlanta, billionaire Derek Ferguson. "Why are you offering this?" she queried, bewildered. Ferguson explained, "Think of it as a mutually beneficial arrangement. You provide me with something, and I'll grant you your desires. I've observed you, Braun. Initially, I believed you were docile, easily led. But your actions today have shown me otherwise." "What exactly do you have that I need?" she pressed. "I possess wealth, influence, and connections," he replied. "You seek revenge against your sister, your deceitful brother, and perhaps even your parents for neglect. Marry me, and I'll give you the resources to make them pay." "And what's in it for you, Mr. Ferguson?" Gemma inquired, skepticism lacing her voice. "A wife," he answered. "I propose a two-year marriage contract. Upon its expiration, you'll be free to live your life as you wish, unbound."
