The Substitute Bride

Accused of a crime she didn't commit, Chloe faces a terrifying fate. A plane crash leaves her branded a murderer, and now, a powerful, emotionless man seeks a cruel vengeance. Will she survive the tempest of his wrath, or be forever broken by the price she's forced to pay?

The chill of the cavernous room seeped into Chloe's bones, colder than any winter wind. Before her, a man loomed, his eyes like chips of ice, devoid of warmth or recognition.

"This is the price you have to pay for killing my fiancee," he rasped, his voice a low, dangerous growl, devoid of any emotion.

His words were a physical blow, tearing at the last shreds of her composure. Tears, hot and uncontrollable, traced paths down her cold cheeks, blurring the stark reality before her.

"This is what you owe Rose and I," he continued, his voice dropping to a terrifyingly cold and intimidating whisper. With those words, her last fragile wall of defense crumbled, leaving her utterly exposed.
