Fake Disabled Husband, the Real Don

I am the true heiress of the Thorley family, stolen and swapped at birth. I survived years of abuse and squalor, only to return to a family that favored my impostor, Christine. She stole my identity, my engagement, and my rightful place, while my own blood relatives labeled me a disgrace.​ Karson Reynard, heir to the powerful Reynard syndicate, saw me as nothing but a plaything. He offered me a mistress’s position while planning to marry Christine as his legal wife.​ Broken, beaten, and humiliated, I rejected the glittering arranged marriage and chose instead to wed Derick Reynard—the disgraced, “brain-damaged” second son. Everyone mocked my choice, certain I would be ruined. None knew this reckless marriage would be my salvation.​ The man they called a fool was no fool at all. He was the ruthless, hidden boss of the syndicate, once its deadliest assassin. He had faked his impairment to lie low and avenge a terrible betrayal.​ When my enemies closed in to kill me, he cast aside his disguise. In an instant, he crushed all opposition, reshaped the underworld, and defended me with unyielding power.​ Those who tormented me would pay. I married the wrong man in their eyes, yet I married the true king of the mafia. With him at my side, I rose from the ashes to claim my throne.
