Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Despite Marcus’s status in showbiz, he didn’t have the confidence to ask the richest man in the country, who was also a stunning young man, whether he could see his wife.

The best way was to get Nina involved. To his surprise, however, they had unwittingly become a couple in name.

Marcus chuckled at the turn of events.
