Secret heir teams with jilted fiancé to expose a dynasty's rot.
Ian never expected Alan's fatal wreck to make him majority veto holder of the Vale trust, yet the paperwork is unambiguous. That authority yanks him into a mandatory partnership with Cole, the elite hockey forward the world recognized as Alan's future spouse. Distrust charges every encounter while they sift through shell corporations and offshore ledgers hunting a laundering scheme bleeding the family fortune. Each revelation tightens the trap around them, blurring the line between a posthumous manipulation and a connection neither man asked for.
