Substitute Marriage: The Billionaire's Hidden Queen

Cassie was sold to a terrifying billionaire as a substitute bride.

To protect herself, she glued a grotesque, fake burn scar to her face.

Her adoptive family and her ex-fiancé had stolen her massive trust fund, locked her in an asylum for years, and finally threw her to the wolves. They expected the ruthless Dane Frederick to torture and kill her the moment he saw her ruined face.

At her ex's grand engagement party, her family publicly humiliated her. They mocked her cheap clothes, laughed at her scarred cheek, and even raised their hands to beat her, fully believing she was a helpless freak with no one to rely on.

"Get on your knees and apologize, and I'll write you a check so you don't starve on the streets."

But they didn't expect the billionaire to kick down the doors, wrap his coat around her, and bankrupt their entire bloodline overnight.

Yet, as Cassie stood in the dark and peeled off her fake silicone scar to reveal her flawless face, a deeper terror gripped her.

Tracing her stolen funds, she uncovered a name that made her blood run cold: The Syndicate.

It was the exact nightmare organization that had locked her in the asylum. Why were they controlling her family? And why did the billionaire look at her with such desperate, hidden nostalgia?

Cassie opened her encrypted laptop and dropped into the Dark Web.

She wasn't just a discarded bride. She was the legendary hacker "Nyx," and she was going to burn them all to the ground.
