The Intimate Enemy: A Tale of Betrayal Novel – Born rich, I grew up in a remote village because of a kidnapping. Seven years ago, my little sister, whose real mother was a human trafficker, attempted suicide at the news that she would be sent back to her remote home.
My real parents and elder brother persuaded me. “Can you go on behalf of Grace? She is too weak to handle any stimulation.” I didn’t agree. However, my real family made a speech against my will to the reporters and then sent me back to that remote village.
My fiance, a powerful and influential real estate tycoon in Timon, sided with them. He said, “Amanda, we will get married upon your return. Be patient.” He forgot that Grace Hacker was supposed to be my real name Seven years passed. “Amanda Hacker.
With your surname changed, you will have a bright future.” I took the papers from the sheriff, gave him a bitter smile, and said nothing. Then, I limped away. A Rolls-Royce stopped on the muddy path. After the car door opened, my fiancé, Adam Powell, came into view.
In a black suit, he was noble in every movement. “Amanda.” He waved at me. He looked the same as he had seven years ago. Embarrassed, I tugged at my tattered clothes. When I raised my head, I saw my reflection in the car window. It was a withered face with various scars.
Adam considerately held the car door for me and then got in the car after me. “You must have suffered a lot in the past seven years. I will get married to you as promised.” Adam held my rough hand and caressed it. The calluses on my hand made his eyebrows furrow.
Amused by his distressed look, I withdrew my hand. “Okay.” I had expected the arrival of my real family in the first few days of my seven years in Ouray, especially when I was beaten by my foster father and slandered as the daughter of a human trafficker by my classmates.
