Until Death Tears Us Apart

When struggling barista Emily Brewster impulsively marries Edward Corrigan—a dazzling stranger who sweeps in to rescue her from a disastrous date—she thinks it’s the perfect arrangement: he’ll play the doting husband to secure her parents’ financial backing for her dream café, while she helps him escape his family’s relentless pressure to settle down. But when they move in together, simmering tension ignites into undeniable passion, unraveling a breathtaking secret—Edward is actually the boy she once saved from bullies as a child, now a reclusive billionaire CEO who’s hidden his fortune to protect the fragile connection growing between them. Their fake marriage begins to feel heartbreakingly real—until Edward’s cunning ex-fiancée, Linda, exposes his true identity and brands Emily a gold-digging fraud. As Linda’s vicious family poisons Edward’s beloved grandfather to force a wedding, Emily stumbles upon a shattering truth: she’s the long-lost daughter of Linda’s adoptive parents, stolen as an infant and raised in the shadows of a stolen life. Desperate to expose the conspiracy, Emily fakes amnesia in a daring gambit to outmaneuver Linda—but walks straight into a deadly trap. Racing against time, Edward rushes to save her, only to be struck down in a brutal car crash, clinging to life as secrets spill and loyalties shatter. In a whirlwind of betrayal, explosive confrontations, and raw emotion, their bond is tested like never before. Emily discovers she’s carrying Edward’s child—the ultimate symbol of a love that began as fiction but has become devastatingly real. When lies collapse and enemies fall, one truth remains: their marriage of convenience transforms into a fierce, passionate vow. Love wasn’t part of the plan—but in the wreckage of deception, it emerges stronger than ever.
