Loving The Wrong One
For years, Quiana Sutton has lived in a marriage where she is a wife in name only.
Zack Hunter never hides where his heart belongs. It belonged to Cameron Sutton, Quiana's younger sister—the woman he has loved, remembered, and waited for all these years.
Quiana knows she can never compete with a love that began long before her marriage to Zack. Still, she stays. She loves him too much to walk away, even when every cold glance and every cruel word reminds her that she was never the woman he wanted.
Until Cameron comes back.
With the woman Zack has always loved suddenly standing before him again, Quiana finally realizes that there is nothing left for her to hold on to.
So she lets him go.
What Zack doesn't know is that Quiana leaves their marriage carrying more than a broken heart.
Quiana returns no longer as the woman who waited by the door for her husband, but as a woman who has built a life of her own. Stronger. Colder. Untouchable.
And Zack can't understand what happened to the wife who once loved him so desperately.
Because the moment he sees her again, the feelings he thought belonged to the past come rushing back.
This time, Zack is the one chasing.
He wants her forgiveness and another chance.
He wants the woman he once took for granted back in his life.
But Quiana has already learned how to live without him.
And the more Zack tries to pull her back, the more he begins to realize that losing her was not his greatest mistake.
It was believing he knew which woman he truly loved.
And by the time the truth begins to surface, Zack may have already lost the woman he should have chosen from the beginning

Chapter: Chapter 25 - Parts I Can't RememberZack’s POVI thought the past was settled.Quiana and I were divorced. Cameron and I were still together, although the future I had imagined with her seemed to move further away every time I tried to reach it. My company was thriving, my position was secure, and nothing in my life had changed enough to make me question the decisions that had brought me here.Then Quiana Sutton walked into my boardroom, addressed me as Mr. Hunter, and made seven years feel like a poor excuse for the man I had become.I resented that reaction.She had no right to unsettle me simply because she had learned to live without me. I had never promised her love. I had never pretended to be the husband she wanted, and I had never hidden where my heart belonged. If she had moved on, that was what she had every right to do.So why had I found myself thinking about her again that morning?I stood before the windows in my office, one hand in my pocket, staring at the city without really seeing it. My assistant had

Chapter: Chapter 24 - Things that StayedZack’s POVQuiana Sutton had changed, but not in the way I expected.During our meeting, she had listened to my questions, presented her ideas, and addressed me with a professionalism that made it difficult to believe we had ever been married. She hadn't raised her voice or made a pointed remark about our past. She hadn't even seemed particularly interested in what I thought of her.She had simply done her job.That should have pleased me. Our marriage had ended years ago, and neither of us had any reason to drag its remains into a business meeting. Yet her composure irritated me in a way I couldn't quite explain. I had expected some sign that seeing me again meant something to her, even if that something was resentment.Instead, she had given me nothing.I left the meeting wondering when Quiana had become so comfortable treating me like a stranger.The question followed me into the evening, and with it came memories of the years since our divorce. Not memories of a marriage I wished

Chapter: Chapter 23 - Pretense?Quiana's POVBy the time I returned to the office, I had decided that Zack Hunter was no longer worth the space he occupied in my head.Unfortunately, my brain hadn't received the memo.I sat at my desk, staring at the same paragraph on my screen for the third time, before finally closing the document with an irritated sigh. It wasn't that I couldn't concentrate. I spent a long time learning how to work through difficult situations, and one meeting with my ex-husband wasn't going to undo that progress.But the nerve of him!Are you really going to pretend we don't know each other?I could still hear the question in his voice.What exactly had he expected me to do? Throw myself into his arms? Cry about our failed marriage? Ask whether he had finally realized how badly he had treated me?The man spent years making me feel like a stranger in my own marriage. Now that I was no longer his wife, he seemed surprised that I wasn't interested in pretending we were friends.Unbelievable."You'r
