Bought by Mistake, Claimed by the Billionaire

"Go take a shower. I'll be waiting in bed."
In the hotel room, Lydia was tipsy, her fingers fumbling absently with the man's tie. He leaned in close to her ear, his voice low and smooth: "Let's shower together."
She thought he was just a paid escort she'd hired for the night.
It wasn't until later that she found out — he was the wealthiest man in New York, the head of the Levitt family, Simon Levitt.
Lydia's life had never been her own. Her father wanted to marry her off to the playboy Ivor in exchange for business interests. Her stepmother Marlo and half-sister Natasha worked together to push her out. The inheritance left by her birth mother was withheld by her father as leverage. And at one point, her own father and stepmother had secretly plotted an accident to get rid of her for good. With nowhere left to turn, she struck a clear-headed deal with Simon — she would use his influence to break free from her constraints, and he would use the engagement to consolidate power within his family. The prenuptial agreement was spelled out in black and white. There was no room for feelings.
But fate never follows the script. Simon's ex, Elizabeth, suddenly reappeared claiming to be carrying his child. Natasha threw herself at him in a desperate attempt to take Lydia's place. And Simon and Ivor turned out to be half-brothers. Lydia's birth father's death also seemed tangled up in all of it. She was at the center of the storm, with danger closing in from every direction.
The man she thought was only using her kept showing up at her most dangerous moments — taking back her mother's inheritance, putting Hector in his place, shielding her from threats coming at her from all sides.
She asked him, "What do you actually want?"
He looked down, pressed his lips to hers, and said nothing.
Then one day, Lydia stumbled upon a long-buried secret between her mother and the Levitt family —
She and Simon had never been a coincidence. Not from the very beginning.
And Simon had known all along.
Behind this "mutually beneficial" arrangement, what was the truth that had been hiding there the whole time?
