Chapter 1 Theo Harrington and I were the golden couple everyone envied . Until his favorite sugar baby caught his eye - Lysander Blackwood , Boston's Shadow King , whose name alone froze hearts . He wanted Bianca - and gave Theo just three days to make her ready for his bed . Theo vanished for an entire day before finally stumbling home . I got to his study , only to freeze at the door and overhear him talking to one of his men . " Bianca suffered too much . Juliette's had it easy her whole damn life - What's the big deal if she takes Bianca's place ? " His assistant spoke cautiously .

" Sir ... your wife's the Hawthorne heiress . Your grandfather promised her parents she'd be safe - nothing would ever happen to her- " " And when Shadow king realizes we sent the wrong woman , Mrs. Harrington will- " " Enough . " Theo snapped , cutting him off . " She's lived off the Harrington name for years . That debt's been paid in full . But Bianca ? She has nothing . " " Once this blows over , She can keep the title of Mrs. Harrington . I won't hold it against her . " I stood there , staring at his profile - that face I'd memorized in a thousand tender moments .

When Theo walked out of the study with Bianca , I was sitting in the living room . The second he saw me , he dropped her hand like it burned . He crossed the room in three strides , grinning .
