First-Person POVWinning Back the WifeContemporaryIntelligentOptimismVictimForgivenessPregnantSecond Chance
For three years, Mara Croft played the perfect CEO's wife, graceful, patient, invisible.
When Ethan slides the divorce papers across the desk without meeting her eyes, she doesn't fall apart. She names her price, one point eight billion dollars and watches the most powerful man in the city agree without blinking.
To him, she was never the woman he wanted. Just the one he settled for, and settling has a price. What he doesn't know is that Mara isn't just leaving. She's disappearing with a secret that will destroy everything he thinks he knows about their marriage.
But when a clinic receipt surfaces and his lawyers start making calls, the clean exit he paid for begins to unravel. The woman he dismissed as a quiet, lovesick wife has been three steps ahead of him the entire time.
He let her go once, he won't make that mistake again. Some exits come with consequences neither of them saw coming.
