My Cheating CEO Husband Wants Me Back

Her hope crumbles when she finds him in the arms of his supposed childhood friend. The night of betrayal drizzled away any hope of love.

She survives.
He thinks she died.
She runs away, hiding her pregnancy.
Years later, their paths collide again.
Only this time, the Devil who once couldn't bear to look at her is on his knees, begging her to come back.
He is twisted but the truth becomes far more than she expected shadows lurk around, ready to unravel her reality.
She finds herself entangled in a deadly game between the man who saved her life and the monster she was saved from.

Chapter: CHAPTER 19DOMINIC POV I found a bar three blocks from the hotel, it was dim enough that no one would recognize a Moretti two states from home, quiet enough to drink alone without conversation forcing its way into my thoughts. I hadn't told Marcus where I was going. For the first time since landing in Ohio, I needed silence to control myself.The bartender set a scotch in front of me without asking, the universal courtesy extended to men who clearly needed to be left alone. I nursed it slowly, staring at the muted television mounted above the bar, half-watching a business news segment scroll past without paying any attention to it.Two men in rumpled suits sat a few stools down, their voices carrying with the particular looseness of men several drinks past caution."I lost the Fairview contract to Vance again," one muttered, swirling his glass. "The third project this year, FUCk!!!. I don't understand how one company keeps outbidding everyone in this city.""It's not the company," the other sai

Chapter: CHAPTER 18CATHERINE POV I didn't sleep. By sunrise, I'd changed the locks on every door in the house with my own hands, ignoring my housekeeper's worried glances, ignoring the ache building behind my eyes from a night spent staring at a photograph that made no sense.Dylan found me in the kitchen, watching the new keys glint under the morning light."Mummy, why do the doors sound different?""New locks, baby." I forced a smile. "Just to keep us extra safe.""Grandma Jas said the man outside Sera's window was probably just a dream."My hand stilled on the counter. "Grandma Jas said that?""This morning. Before you woke up." He tilted his head. "But Sera doesn't dream about things she's never seen before. She told me the man had a scar. She's never seen a scar like that anywhere."A chill crawled up my spine that had nothing to do with the morning air.I found Jasmine in the garden an hour later, clipping roses with the same serene patience she brought to everything, as though last night hadn't

Chapter: CHAPTER 17DOMINICOhio spread out beneath the jet in a wash of cloudy grey, and for the first time in five years my hands weren't quite steady as we began our descent.I stared out the window at a city I'd never once thought to search, and let myself feel exactly how much I had failed her. Not just the night of the accident. Every night before it, every dinner eaten in silence. Every time she'd reach for me and I'd pull away, certain that distance was protection instead of the slow poison it actually was.I thought of my father's voice in my office weeks ago, sharp with grief. “You never treated her like your wife.” I hadn't believed him then but I couldn't argue with him now.Marcus met me on the tarmac, reading the mood before I said a word."We have a name and a company, sir. That's all. No home address yet, no confirmed schedule. If we move too fast and she catches wind of it, she might disappear again. Five years of hiding means she'll definitely have an exit plan ready.""Then we don't mo

Chapter: Chapter 16CATHERINE POV Jasmine took a slow step into the study, her bare feet silent against the rug, her eyes never once leaving the photograph still lying face-up on the floor between us."Where did you find this?" she asked, her voice soft, almost gentle, the same tone she used to calm the children after a nightmare."In my father's chest" My own voice came out steadier than I felt. Someone broke into this house tonight, Jasmine. And this was the first thing I found afterward."Something flickered across her face, so fast that a fraction of a second, I couldn't be certain I'd seen it at all. She crossed the room and bent to retrieve the photograph, cradling it in both hands like something fragile enough to shatter."Your father and I," she said carefully, "knew each other a very long time ago, long before you were born. Before any of this." Her thumb brushed lightly over the faded image. "It's not what you're imagining, my child.""Then tell me what it is!"She looked up at me, and for a s

Chapter: CHAPTER 15CATHERINE POV The alarm blared at 3 a.m., ripping me out of sleep so violently I hit the floor before I even understood why I was moving.Motion detected in the West wing.My heart slammed against my ribs. The children's rooms were in the west wing.I ran barefoot down the hallway, my mind screaming their names before my mouth could catch up, and threw open Dylan's door first. He sat up in bed, blinking, confused but safe. Diana and Sera are safe.I sagged against the doorframe, relief crashing through me so hard my knees buckled until I heard it. After a heart wrecking moment I heard a soft creak downstairs.I grabbed the heaviest thing within reach, an old brass lamp from the hallway table, and crept toward the staircase, my pulse roaring in my ears.The back door stood open. Cold night air poured through it, curtains billowing like something alive.Whoever had been inside my house was already gone.The Security arrived within ten minutes, sweeping every room with flashlights whil

Chapter: CHAPTER 14DOMINICThe hangar lights hummed overhead while my pilot ran his final checks, but I barely noticed the cold slicing through my jacket. My phone buzzed against my palm before I'd even boarded.Marcus. Again."Sir, I know you're about to fly, but you need this before you land.""Talk fast.""I found a name buried in one of the shell accounts linked to the Lockwoods. A holding company called Ashgrove Capital. It's routed through four countries before it ever touches anything legitimate." He paused. "Sir, Ashgrove has ties to a name your father's security team flagged years ago. Viktor Kessler."My blood went cold. "The arms broker.""The same one your father cut all ties with after the Senate hearings. If Ashgrove is connected to Kessler, and Ashgrove is connected to the Lockwoods""Then whatever they built around Catherine isn't just laundering," I said slowly, the picture is something far uglier than I'd let myself imagine. "It's connected to people my own family spent a decade trying

That I'm an idiot who let my father manipulate me for twelve years? That Iaccidentally committed attempted murder? Or I've been in love with my half-sister without knowing it?""You tell the truth, all of it without holding anything back. Then you let Emily decide if the truth is enough.""It won't be.""Maybe not. But Nathan, you owe her honesty. Even if honesty costs you everything."A detective knocked on the door. "Mr. Zhou, you're free to go. The DA declined to press chargestonight but stay av

Everyone must hear this one."Twenty minutes later, we sat. Emily on one couch, I on the other. Marcus and Blake on the long couch."Talk," Emily said. "Everything."I took a breath. "Rachel and I were engaged for three years. She cheated with my business partner David Osborne and I couldn't handle it well.""Skip to the crime part," Emily said coldly."I embezzled two million from our company over six months.

Sit down."I entered the hotel room.The door closed behind me.Isabella poured two glasses of wine. "You'll want this.""I don't want wine. I want answers.""You'll want the wine." She handed me a glass. "Emily, before I tell you about Nathan's past,you should know something. Clara didn't discover this by accident.""What does that mean?""It means I hired her months before Singapore partnership meetings. Before everything I hired Clara to dig into Nathan's history specifically."My blood went cold. "What?""I've been planning this for eight months. The seduction and manipulation. The faketherapy sessions, all of it but Emily it wasn't Linda who planned it. Linda was just a convenient cover when things got complicated."I stood slowly. "You're lying.'"Am I? Think about it.
