45 EPThe Heiress Trap of Blackwood Manor
The century-old Blackwood family is rife with undercurrents. Alex Blackwood, an illegitimate son, disguises himself as a lame, sickly weakling, biding his time in hiding while investigating the truth behind his mother's murder, his heart fixated on Serena Hayes—the girl who saved him ten years ago. To raise the huge sum needed to save her younger brother's life, Serena takes on a black-market commission: she is ordered to set a trap to destroy Alex's high-society marriage alliance, unaware that the man pulling the strings behind the scenes is Alex himself. An elaborately orchestrated adultery-framing farce plunges her into a trap of love and desire laid by the man. A deal with her relatives' lives as the bargaining chip thus begins, forcing her to become his masked mistress, navigating and scheming her way through the family's internal strife and the step-by-step persecution of the stepmother and half-brother. False tenderness wrapped in obsessive possessiveness, the life-saving bond of the past entangled and torn with the mutual exploitation of the present—when lies are peeled away layer by layer, in this bedside hunt, who exactly has fallen into the cage of love?
