"He's not my ex-husband. He's just a man I used to know." He shattered her heart with one accusation. Now she’s the woman he’ll do anything to win back. Juliette Hart thought she found her happy ending with billionaire Nolan Cross—until he publicly accused her of cheating at their wedding reception. Heartbroken and pregnant, Jules vanished from his world. But everything changes when Nolan discovers the truth years later. Now, as past betrayals resurface and buried secrets unravel, Nolan will stop at nothing to reclaim the woman he lost. But Jules isn’t the same broken girl anymore—and she'll do whatever it takes to keep herself and her son away from him… even if it means taking a few risks. When love and revenge collide, will forgiveness be their salvation—or their ruin?

Jules asked with a small smile, a wineglass in her hand.Colton just let out a breath and leaned in his seat, his hand circling the rim of his canned soda. “I'm good, honestly. I mean, I am finally getting the hang of running a company." “I thought Ethan took it back." “Nah," he said, looking in the distance from the balcony where they sat. “But he did say if it goes bankrupt, he'd have my head." Jules smiled faintly and let silence stretch.“Ethan hasn’t been the same since you left,” Colton said at last.Jules flipped her hair over her head. "Oh, stop exaggerating. I've only been gone a few days.”"But I'm not. He's been showing up at Cassie's house with silly excuses to get me out.”Jules wanted to scoff. Ethan hadn't exactly called her again after he called her on the first day and she'd told him to leave her alone. Now he was feeling lonely? Ethan?It almost sounded funny in her head. She lifted the glass to her lips and sipped from it. But then her face
Nolan jerked in his seat at the furious look in her eyes, and even he smashed pieces of ceramic scattered on the ground. He blinked, then leaned forward slowly. “Okay, calm down, alright?” His tone softened. “I can help you.”She scoffed. Not the sarcastic type but the genuinely amused one that it actually broke into laughter.Nolan frowned, confused. He tilted his head. “What's funny?" “You…" she laughed some more, throwing her head back and holding her stomach like she'd heard the greatest joke of the year. The more she laughed, the more his patience ran out. But he just folded his arms and leaned into the chair, waiting for her to finish.Finally, she stopped, gasping for air, and actually reached for his mug and drank the warm tea. “Wow!" She said, letting out a breath."Care to share what's so hilarious?” "Oh, nothing.” She flipped her black hair out of her eyes and finally straightened her face. “It's just so funny that you—Nolan Cross—thinks he can save me." Nolan's frown
“She’s the one in the picture,” Kai said, shoving the phone in front of Nolan’s eyes.Nolan's heart sank for some reason. And as he reached to take the phone from his friend, his throat bobbed.He snatched it and turned to the woman before shifting his gaze to the screen. It was the picture that had circulated on his and Jules' wedding day that had made him think she was cheating on him and made him reject his own child.He zoomed into the photo, then turned back to the woman. The more he stared between the picture and the woman, the more unreal it felt.The resemblance was uncanny, yet there was a difference between both of them.‘Jules looks different when she's frowning.’ He said in his mind.“She's Jules' stunt double." Kai said.“I'm not a stunt double. And I'm definitely not the woman you're looking for. So goodbye.” She swung her hoodie over her head and walked past Nolan, heading out of the alley.Nolan couldn't believe this was real. So it really wasn't Jules in the picture,
“Grandma, look what I did!” Asher burst into the room, clutching a piece of paper.“What is it?" Mrs Hart asked, setting aside his action figure she was gluing back together."It's a boat.” He grinned, adding more color to the weirdly drawn picture, which only formed a shape if one stared at it long enough.Mrs. Hart smiled and took the paper. “It’s beautiful, baby. Where did you learn to draw like this?”He smiled at first, then scratched his hair like he was trying to remember. Then his face lit up. “Uncle Colton!”She raised her brows. "Really?” "Yeah!” He did a little jump, clearly proud of himself.Mrs Hart stood from where she sat, still holding the drawing of the purple boat. “Good job! I'm going to hang it on my wall, alright?" “Yeah! So everybody will see it." She just chuckled and pinned it on the side of the room. Then, without warning, she scooped him up in her arms despite his size and spun him around.Loud laughter rippled from his gut. The crayon in his hand fell to
Nolan tapped his hand on the steering wheel, his eyes keenly watching the entrance of a furniture store.He was parked a block away, stroking his chin with his other free hand.A light knock on his window shifted his eyes from the store. And he unlocked the door for Kai to get in.“The last time I checked, you were back here to search for your missing fiancee." Kai said, wrapping his jacket tighter around his body and clutching a takeout cup of coffee in the other hand.“Now you’ve got me sitting in your car like some sidekick stalker.”But Nolan didn't respond, nor did he take his eyes off the building, a frown etched across his face.“Do you want to talk to me, or should I just shut up and be your dummy?" Nolan turned to him, then turned away again. “You know, the last time I saw Jules." “Yeah yeah, that's true, what did she say she was doing here? I thought you said her mom was over there with her.”"Well, I didn't get to talk to her." Kai looked confused. “Why?" “Because she di
Ethan twirled a pen between his fingers, staring straight at nothing without blinking.He wasn't dumb. Something was definitely up with Jules, and she was keeping it from him.It was either something that had happened that previous day or something else entirely. Either way, it's been bugging him. And if he knew Jules, there was little to no chance of finding out what she was hiding from her.And these days he could tell she went out more than she went to work. And she knew he wouldn't confront her because of the grudge she still held against him.‘She might be out there fucking another man, you know.’ “She won't dare." He murmured under his breath.‘She’s friends with Cassie. Don't underestimate her.’The pen snapped in two, and he slammed it on the table. “Cassie." He muttered, his voice low. The girl annoyed the shit out of him. She was lawless and rude and such a slut, but he knew there was no way he'd keep Jules from being friends with her.And now she'd sucked Colton in with h
