"Will you marry me?" These were the words that changed her life forever. Lillian never thought she would hear it after one impulsive decision.

After getting cheated on by the ones she loved and trusted the most, Lillian had never been the same again. 

Dating became a thing of the past and she focused solely on her career. 

Lillian worked like crazy to achieve her goals, but it eventually popped up that there was something missing in her life. She had not been in a relationship for too long, and when she finally decided to get out of her shell, as if it was a fateful encounter, she met him: Leonard, a bachelor who suddenly asked for marriage after one night together. He even offered a staggering deal when she refused his proposal.

Lillian just met him but she felt like they clicked well in their conversations.

After everything she had been through, Lillian became a very careful woman with trust issues and had never done anything crazy and unaccounted for in her life.  But she realized she was bored with her current life and was unknowingly longing for a major unexpected change.

As if something was pushing her, she accepted his proposal. She wanted to do something crazy and dangerous for a change. 

All of a sudden, she gained a husband. And yet, just as soon as they met, he vanished without a trace, and the next thing she heard of him was in the news.

“Mr. Leonard is dead!”

Lillian dropped the book she was reading as she heard the news. That was her husband’s name!

There’s a ton of people with the same name, but the face on the screen was truly her husband's!

She learned he was a multibillionaire. But now, he was dead, and Lillian was his wife.

What will Lillian’s life be like as the wife of a dead multibillionaire?

She knew something for sure: she needed to hide and verify if her husband is truly gone.

Soon, she discovers something she never expected. She accidentally married her cheater ex's youngest uncle! Now, his ex thinks she intentionally did it for revenge as if her world still revolved around him. The nerve! Or is this finally her chance to get back at him?

"Lillian," Leo said her name in a way that somehow sounded way too sexy. "I did say I won't do anything tonight because I thought you didn't want me to. But if you feel otherwise, I'm more than willing to do everything tonight."


"I just forgot my clothes!" Lillian replied and ran to her clothes on the sofa, picked them up, and ran back to the bathroom without wasting another second.


She felt that if she stayed any longer, Leo would catch her, and she wouldn't need her clothes anymore.


"That was intense," Lillian said as she sighed in relief after locking the bathroom door behind her.


Her heart was racing wildly, and she could still feel the heat rising to her face in embarrassment about all this.


She was supposed to be a boring and dead calm woman, but who knows, she would get this agitated and embarrassed so easily someday.


Not that this was the first time. This happened with Leo in the past, too.
