He Stole My Love, Heart and My Future—But I’m Taking It Back
He Stole My Love Heart and Future—But I’m Taking It Back
In this fast-paced romance filled with betrayal, revenge, and girl power, Emily Reyes appears to be the perfect good girl—beautiful, loyal, and the devoted wife of arrogant CEO Carlos Reyes. She gave him everything: her love, her fortune, and her future. But behind the public smiles is a tragic truth—Carlos used Emily to build his empire and now hides a devastating secret.
When Daniela, a mysterious woman with a young son, moves into their mansion claiming to be Carlos’s stepsister, Emily’s world begins to unravel. The truth? Daniela is Carlos’s former lover, and Mateo is their son. Heartbroken, Emily flees and crashes her car in a storm—only to be rescued by Alejandro Vega, a kind architect with a painful past and a quiet strength that draws her in.
Torn between grief and justice, Emily pretends to have amnesia and begins gathering evidence of Carlos’s crimes and betrayal. With the help of her childhood friend, she transforms from weak to strong—reclaiming her inheritance, documenting the lies, and plotting her revenge.
As Carlos’s empire collapses under the weight of Emily’s revelations, tragedy strikes: in a final act of madness, he murders Daniela and takes his own life, leaving their son orphaned.
One year later, Emily has rebuilt her life and found peace—and love—with Alejandro. The once submissive wife is now a powerful woman who turned heartbreak into strength. When she places a white rose between Carlos and Daniela’s graves, she whispers: “The price of betrayal was too high for all of us.”
A gripping tale of love, tragedy, and redemption, this is the ultimate weak-to-strong romance where justice is served—and healing begins.

Chapter: Chapter 6The roses Carlos had tossed carelessly on my bed were making it hard to breathe with their strong sweet smell. Or maybe it was him being there, the way he acted like a loving husband now felt like ropes around my neck."The doctors said you had a bad head injury," Carlos told everyone in the room, speaking loud enough for the nurse checking my IV to hear. "And bleeding inside your body. My love, I was so scared when they called."His fingers touched mine gently, but it made my skin feel creepy. Every touch felt dirty now that I knew where those hands had been, what they had done. I kept my face calm, thankful that years of dealing with his sneaky mind games had taught me how to hide my feelings."Carlos," I said quietly, "you didn't need to leave your important meeting."His eyes flashed, a tiny look of annoyance quickly hidden by fake worry. We both knew there was no meeting. I wondered if the sheets on Daniela's bed still showed where he had been lying."Nothing is more important th

Chapter: Chapter 5I woke up bit by bit—smelling clean hospital smells, seeing bright lights, and hearing beeping machines. My eyes felt very heavy as I opened them, squinting because the hospital lights were so bright. The room seemed to spin for a moment before becoming clear."Take it slow," said a voice I knew.Alejandro Vega sat next to my bed, looking worried. The dark circles under his eyes showed he hadn't slept. When he saw me looking at him, his face showed relief."You're awake," he said quietly.I tried to talk, but my throat hurt too much. Alejandro got a cup of water from the table by my bed, gently helping me lift my head as I drank through the straw. His kindness almost made me cry."How long was I out?" I asked."Almost four hours this time." His hand moved toward mine but then pulled back. "The doctors said your body needed time to heal from the hurt."Hurt. Such a simple word for how broken I felt inside. I tried to move, but pain shot through my belly."Let me help you." Alejandro st

Chapter: Chapter 4As I drove home, my head was full of mixed thoughts. What Alejandro told me about the money problems confirmed my worst fears about Carlos. And then there was Alejandro himself. I didn’t expect to feel a connection with him, but I did. He made me feel noticed and respected, something I hadn’t felt in years.When I got home that afternoon, the house was unusually quiet. I didn’t hear Mateo playing video games or Daniela talking on the phone like usual. It was so quiet it made the big house feel more like a museum than a home. I put my Louis Vuitton Petite Malle purse on the table, still thinking about my lunch with Sofia and meeting Alejandro Vega for the first time.I went straight upstairs. I needed a hot shower to relax. The water hit my back hard, Just the way I liked it. For a little while, it helped me forget about Carlos’s lies. After drying off, I remembered I still had errands to run for the fundraiser tonight. I had to pick up name cards from the printer and gift bags for our

Chapter: Chapter 3The soft whoosh of the curtains dancing in the morning breeze filled the room as the Saturday sun filtered in. I leaned down and kissed Carlos on the cheek."I'll be back soon," I said, forcing a smile. "Just need to grab a few things before tonight's fundraiser."Carlos didn’t look up from his phone. “Don’t be long. I need you to write my speech.”As I turned toward the door, I stopped short. Daniela and Mateo were in the hallway, standing like guards."Going somewhere?" Daniela asked sweetly, though her eyes held no kindness."I'm meeting Sofia and the architect for the hospital project," I replied, trying to move past.Daniela stepped in front of me, silk robe swishing. "Always running. No wonder Carlos thinks you’re... not enough."I froze. "What did you say?"Mateo, standing beside her, chimed in, voice sharp. "That's why Daddy spends more time with us. You're not fun.""Mateo, stop," Daniela said, without really meaning it. Her lips curled into a smile. "But he’s not wrong."My

Chapter: Chapter 2The mansion is quiet when I hear Carlos packing is Mercedes-Maybach Exelero at the garage, the front door creak open at 2 AM.Click. The lock turns. I’ve been sitting in the dark living room for hours. My tea is cold, untouched on the table beside me. I’ve been going over the questions in my head again and again.Thump. Thump. Carlos's heavy footsteps echo in the hall. They stop when he sees my shape sitting in the shadows.“Emily? Why are you still awake?” His voice is a little slurred, he’s been drinking, expensive whiskey by the smell of it.I reach out and turn on the lamp. Click. The warm light fills the room. I stare at him. My eyes are puffy, I cried, even though I promised myself I wouldn’t.“We need to talk,” I say.He sighs loudly and tugs at his silk tie, annoyed. “It’s late, Emily. Can’t this wait until morning?”“Like our anniversary dinner waited?” My voice comes out sharper than I expected. I’ve gotten good at hiding how I feel, playing the perfect wife. But tonight...

Chapter: Chapter 1Emily's POVFive years married to Carlos Reyes and I still put fresh flowers on our breakfast table. Today's flowers are special, juliet red roses for our five-year mark. My hands shake a bit as I put the wrapped gift box next to his coffee cup. I'm still hoping, after all this time, that something might change between us."Happy anniversary," I say softly as Carlos walks into the kitchen, wearing is Brioni (Italy) black luxury suit, eyes stuck to his phone as always. The morning light shines on his expensive watch, Richard Mille RM 56-02 Sapphire, last year's gift from me, a watch he wears every day even though he seems to care less and less about me.He barely looks at me, not even glancing at the juliet rose that cost me a lot of money. "Just put it somewhere. I'm busy." His words drop like stones in the quiet kitchen.I push down my sad feelings, the familiar pain settling in my chest. This coldness has become normal, especially since Daniela and her son Mateo moved into our home
