Mute Husband, Obsessive Billionaire

Sebastian Hale has everything: billions, power, and a husband he refuses to look at. Adrian Brooks is the mute caregiver who nursed the old chairman through his final days. The will forces Sebastian to marry him and stay married three years, or lose the entire Hale fortune. So Sebastian keeps him, owns him, touches him like he hates him. And never asks why a servant sleeps with his fists clenched. Adrian can speak. He has stayed silent for a reason. His brother burned to death in a fire nobody investigated, and every clue leads back to this house. Vincent, the supermodel who was meant to wear that ring, wants him gone. Victoria, the elegant stepmother, wants him dead. And Sebastian's cruelty is a lie. When Adrian is locked in a shed and set on fire, the world buries him. He comes back with a new name, a legal claim to the estate, and forty percent of a company that was never Sebastian's to keep. The mute husband holds the knife now. The billionaire kneels. But revenge costs: the only man Adrian ever loved is the man he must destroy.
