She agreed to a marriage of convenience, but could she ever truly love a man shrouded in secrets? Carla Barcelo sought a simple administrative errand—obtaining her marriage certificate from the Bar District municipality. With modest expectations, she'd consented to marry the grandson of her grandmother's friend. Her brief encounter with her fiancé, Lucas Bento, left her pleasantly surprised by his striking appearance. Following the wedding, Lucas offered her a bank card, citing his demanding schedule as a reason for his absence. Now, a year later, Carla finds herself working in the central office of the Antonio Business Group. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets the president, Marco Antonio, and discovers he is the same man she married, Lucas Bento. But why the deception? Marco Antonio, also known as Lucas Bento, leads a double life, carefully balancing two identities to safeguard his standing within the influential Antonio Group. This **contemporary romance** spins a web of intrigue and hidden agendas. Carla is caught between the familiarity of a husband she barely knows and the powerful aura of her boss, a man who seems to hold all the cards. She finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Marco, even as she questions his motives and the truth behind his carefully constructed facade. As Carla navigates the treacherous corporate landscape and her own burgeoning feelings, she uncovers a network of secrets that could shatter everything she thought she knew about her marriage and the man she's tied to. Is Marco protecting himself, or is he protecting her? The **romantic suspense** deepens as Carla confronts the reality of her **arranged marriage** and the possibility of a deeper connection with Marco. Will she succumb to the undeniable chemistry between them? Can their love survive the lies and betrayals that threaten to tear them apart? Or will Carla discover that the man she married is not who he seems, leaving her with a choice that could change her life forever? Will Carla manage to unravel the truth, or will she become another pawn in Marco's game of corporate power?
