Never Yours: An Enemies to Lovers Romance

Bound and helpless in a dilapidated factory, Isadora Vaughan faces a terrifying ordeal that shatters her world. As the legal wife of the powerful and enigmatic Magnus Wainwright, she's accustomed to a life of luxury, but now she's a pawn in a deadly game, held captive for a staggering three million dollar ransom. Her only hope lies in the man she vowed to spend her life with. Desperate, Isadora manages to contact Magnus, her voice trembling as she pleads for his help. But instead of the concern she expects, a wave of icy indifference washes over her as Magnus coldly states he is at a chapel, about to marry another woman. He explains that Elise Harrison, his terminally ill first love, has one final wish: to become his wife. In a symbolic gesture of love and compassion, Magnus intends to fulfill that wish, regardless of his existing marriage. Torn between her desperate situation and the shocking revelation, Isadora fights to make Magnus understand the gravity of her predicament. She begs him to believe her, to recognize the real danger she faces. But her pleas fall on deaf ears. Consumed by his devotion to Elise, Magnus accuses Isadora of orchestrating a manipulative scheme to ruin Elise's final moments of joy. As the kidnapper's threats escalate, Isadora's fear intensifies. Yet, Magnus remains unmoved. In a shocking display of callousness, he tells the captors they can do as they please, even offering an additional million dollars if they follow through with their threats. Crushed by the weight of Magnus's rejection, Isadora confronts a devastating truth. Despite years of devoted love, she is nothing more than an inconvenient obstacle in his life, a shadow eclipsed by the radiant memory of Elise. Her heart shatters as she realizes the depth of Magnus's indifference. This is not a *romance* where love conquers all; it is a *love story* where one woman is discarded for another. Betrayal stings, and Isadora is nothing more than a disposable pawn. But even in her darkest hour, a flicker of defiance ignites within her. Perhaps this kidnapping is a catalyst, a wake-up call that will allow her to break free from the chains of her loveless marriage. But can she escape her captors and the man who seems to wish her gone? And what will become of Isadora Vaughan now that she has nothing left to lose?
