"You should marry Mr. Armani’s eldest son; it’s the least you can do for your family," my stepmother had said before pushing me into the arms of a stranger. Aidan Armani—a man I had neither seen nor heard of. However, after doing some research, I discovered he was a man with disabilities, hidden from the public by his family because of them.
I have always fought for my place as my father’s heiress, though my chances of winning are slim because I am his illegitimate child. My stepmother would sooner leave this world than let me lay claim to the inheritance. I know that arranging my marriage to a “no-name” disabled man is one of her schemes to ensure I stay out of my father’s house; she has never liked me living under the same roof.
I have no idea what my life will be like in my new husband’s home. Will I regret agreeing to this marriage, or will it somehow benefit me? I suppose I won’t know until I get there.
