For five years, I was the fool behind his fortune. I built my husband Julian’s company from a dusty garage into a million-dollar firm, surviving on sixteen-hour workdays and zero salary because I believed we were building our future. I even raised his seven-year-old "orphaned nephew" as my own son. Then I found the offshore bank statements. Julian wasn't just using me, he was secretly married to the boy’s real mother the entire time. I wasn't his partner, and I certainly wasn't his wife. I was just an unpaid, gullible caretaker funding his secret family's luxury lifestyle. So, I wiped my code from his servers, left his company an empty shell, and walked out. After hiding out in a cheap motel for days, trying to figure out my next move, I went to a high-end hotel bar to lose myself for one night. Then, I met a dangerous stranger who I let drag me into his luxury suite and fuck me senseless in ways my ex couldn't even touch in five years of marriage. I expected to slip away at dawn, but the stranger wasn't just anyone. He was Liam Blackwood: the city’s most feared billionaire, my ex’s worst corporate enemy, and a man who knew exactly who I was—the genius behind Apex media and apparently, the long-lost heiress to the multi-billion-dollar Montgomery empire. Before I could walk out the door, he made me an offer I couldn't refuse: a ring, a contract, and his entire empire to help me burn my ex to the ground. Now, my ex is on his knees begging for a second chance, completely unaware that behind closed doors, my possessive new husband takes, claims, and bends me over whenever he wants.

“True love stories never have endings.” Dean said softly. “Richard Bach.” I nodded. “You taught me that quote the night I kissed you for the first time.” He continued, his fingers weaving through loose hair around my face. “And I held on to that every day since.”

Grace Anderson is a striking young lady with a no-nonsense and inimical attitude. She barely smiles or laughs, the feeling of pure happiness has been rare to her.

He always has a smile on his face and never fails to spread his cheerful spirit. On Grace's first day of college, the two meet in an unusual way when Dean almost runs her over with his car in front of an ice cream stand. Although the two are opposites, a friendship forms between them and as time passes by and they begin to learn a lot about each other, Grace finds herself indeed trusting him. Dean was in love with her. He loved everything about her. Every. Single. Flaw. He loved the way she always bit her lip. He loved the way his name rolled out of her mouth. He loved the way her hand fit in his like they were made for each other. He loved how much she loved ice cream. He loved how passionate she was about poetry. One could say he was obsessed. But love has to have a little bit of obsession to it, right? It wasn't all smiles and roses with both of them but the love they had for one another was reason enough to see past anything. But as every love story has a beginning, so it does an ending.
