The Heiress They Couldn't Break

The Story

Stella Shaw, a former socialite left with a cane after her half-sister Molly pushed her down the stairs seven years ago, faces a forced marriage to the opportunistic Simon. Her father dictates this union, but Stella quietly orchestrates her own path. Her security consultant Cole is actually Adrian Waverly, the heir to the Waverly Group, while her investigator Sage is Evelyn, raised by her aunt Victoria. On their wedding day, Stella exposes the couple's betrayal and cancels the engagement. She then uncovers that the woman in the hospital is a stand-in, revealing the truth behind her real mother Vivian's disappearance. Stella negotiates a deal with Victoria and stages a counterattack at The Aster Gala. Evelyn reveals her identity, returning the Shaw Harbor Group to Stella. Adrian proposes under his true name, and she accepts the ring. Immediately after, she flies alone to Capital City to continue her search for her mother.
