THE FORGOTTEN SON-IN-LAW  - Urban novels & stories

THE FORGOTTEN SON-IN-LAW

Sugar boy
Synopsis: In a marriage of cold convenience, Adrian Cole weds Selene Harlow, the beautiful and distant heiress to the powerful Harlow fortune. To the elite world of politicians and tycoons, Adrian is nothing but a "useless nobody," a penniless man tolerated only as a laughingstock and a pawn. Forced into the union by her family, Selene treats him with glacial contempt, echoing the open disdain of her iron-willed mother, Eleanor, and her dismissive father, Victor. Publicly humiliated and relegated to the shadows of the Harlow Corporation, Adrian endures the constant mockery, especially from Julian Black, a rival executive with a predatory interest in Selene and the company. Adrian bears it all with quiet restraint, his true nature hidden behind a mask of meekness. But beneath the surface, he is far more than he appears. Secretly, he commands a hidden power and respect, with loyal operatives referring to him as "Young Master" and awaiting his orders. The fragile peace shatters when subtle threats escalate into open warfare: a shattered heirloom, a violent ambush in an alley, and a near-fatal "accident" on the road. With each attack that Adrian effortlessly deflects, Selene's icy skepticism begins to thaw into burning curiosity. Who is this man she married? His calm authority in the face of danger and his quiet acts of protection clash with the image of the helpless man everyone scorns. As Julian Black's schemes grow more dangerous and desperate, Adrian is forced to let his carefully constructed facade begin to crack. The forgotten son-in-law can no longer remain in the shadows. He must choose between his vow to conceal his powerful past and the need to protect the wife who is slowly starting to see the formidable man hidden behind the ridicule.
