My Ex Faked His Death, So I Married His Billionaire Uncle

Four years ago, Chloe's boyfriend Chad Sterling vanished into a stormy ocean after claiming early-onset Alzheimer's. She searched the freezing waters for two months, walked eighty-one pilgrimages through the blizzard, and mourned him as a devoted influencer sharing their memories online. Then a comment revealed the truth: Chad is alive, the youngest heir to the Sterling Empire, and about to marry a trending starlet named Sienna Cole.

On a film set where Chloe works as a concept sculptor, Chad reappears with Sienna on his arm, humiliating Chloe and ordering her out. That night she overhears his friends laughing: the amnesia was fake, the suicide staged, and Chad admits he wanted to see how far she would suffer for him. The years of grief turn to cold ridicule.

Chloe texts her fiancé, agreeing to marry as soon as the shoot wraps. Her fiancé is Chad's uncle, Julian Sterling, head of the Sterling empire, who once showed her the ugly truth behind Chad's faked death.
