Paige, 28, thought she’d found her soulmate in Damian, a charming café regular. They married, but tragedy struck when Damian collapsed at their wedding, pronounced dead from a heart attack at 32. Devastated, Paige faced his snobbish adoptive parents at the funeral, who accused her of chasing his secret wealth. Three days later, fleeing grief and their threats, she entered a taxi—driven by Damian. Alive, he revealed he’d faked his death to escape his family’s shady empire, which he’d bolstered as a teen. Their threats to ruin Paige prompted his drastic plan,
using a fixer to stage everything. His legitimate assets were now hers, untouchable by his family. Though furious, Paige eventually saw his sacrifice. Despite rejecting his plea to join him abroad, she later sold his business, evaded his parents’ legal grabs, and reunited with him. They remarried in a new country, free from his family, living happily by the beach.
