LOGINValeria Jiménez Aguirre gave up her identity for love… and got betrayal in return. Emiliano Navarro Reyes broke her, discarded her, and never once realized the woman he called his wife was a hidden heiress. But Valeria doesn’t beg. She walks away with nothing but her pride and a divorce that changes everything. This time, she returns to her world of power and wealth and marries the billionaire her father chose for her. Now she is untouchable. Desired. Dangerous. And suddenly, the man who threw her away wants her back. Too bad she’s no longer his to lose. Because this time, Valeria isn’t the woman who loved him. She’s the woman he can never have again.
View MoreVALERIA I had spent the entire day buried in the library, flipping through books and notes about real estate management until my head felt heavy with information. I did not want to appear like a complete novice in front of Damián Ibarra Cruz, especially not when he was going to be my coach. The thought alone made me push myself harder, even when my concentration started to blur. By evening, I returned home starving. Xavier Jiménez Aguirre told me we were going out for dinner, so I quickly took a shower and grabbed the first dress I saw on the hanger, a simple yellow one that I did not think too much about. I just needed to eat and relax my mind. When we arrived at the restaurant, I was surprised to find the place completely empty. It felt almost unreal. Xavier explained that he had reserved the entire space because he did not want to deal with crowds that night. I found his reason a bit excessive, but I did not argue because my main priority was food. While he stepped away to tak
CHAPTER 7 DAMIÁN I stood by the tall window, holding a fresh cup of coffee as I looked out at the other high-rise buildings stretching across the city. My mind was not calm, not even close, because too many things had been happening lately that kept pressing on me in ways I refused to fully acknowledge. Too many people were getting on my nerves, too many situations demanding attention, but I chose to ignore all of it because I knew that the moment I started focusing too deeply, it would only create more tension, more conflict, and I had no intention of feeding unnecessary chaos. The vibration of my phone in my pocket pulled me out of my thoughts. I took it out, saw that it was Xavier Jiménez Aguirre calling, and answered by swiping the screen. I brought the phone to my ear, still facing the window. “Damián?” Xavier’s lively voice came through immediately. “What do you say we grab dinner this evening?” I already knew my answer before he even finished speaking. I had plans tonight
EMILIANO Her question hit the table like something sharp enough to draw attention in an instant. “You actually left your wife for me?” Camila Torres Beltrán’s voice carried a calm curiosity, but beneath it was something that felt almost like mockery, and I found myself pausing mid-meal with my gaze fixed on the plate in front of me before slowly lifting it to meet hers. The way she looked at me made it hard to decide whether she was genuinely interested or simply testing how far I would bend before I broke. “Why phrase it like that?” I asked, my tone quieter than I intended, because the truth was far less convenient than I wanted it to be. “Just to be clear, she was the one who filed for the divorce, not me.” Camila tilted her head slightly, her lips curling into something that resembled amusement. “But you still signed the papers,” she pointed out, as if that single detail carried more weight than everything else I had just said. And she was not wrong. The truth sat somewhe
VALERIA Stepping into the house where I had spent my childhood, I felt nostalgia settle over me like a familiar weight I had never fully escaped. Everything still looked exactly the same as it had two years ago when I left home, as if life here had continued without interruption while I had been busy breaking apart elsewhere. “Come on,” Xavier Jiménez Aguirre urged, pulling me gently out of my thoughts. “They are waiting for us in the study room.” I followed him in silence, my footsteps quiet against the polished floor as we climbed the stairs. We stopped outside the familiar study door, and after a couple of knocks, Xavier pushed it open. We stepped inside together. The first person my eyes landed on was my mother, Camila Torres Beltrán, sitting with her usual immaculate presence. She wore a white dress that looked like it belonged on a runway, possibly Versace, tailored so perfectly it almost felt like it belonged more to a mannequin than a human body. Her hair was pulled tight
VALERIA That night, Xavier Jiménez Aguirre insisted on taking me to a hotel, refusing to let me stay in the place I had originally chosen because he claimed it was beneath the standard he wanted for me, and although I tried to argue, I eventually gave in because I did not have the strength to figh
VALERIA Emiliano Navarro Reyes had already signed the divorce papers, and as planned, Renata Salgado Mora had retrieved them for me. His willingness to sign so quickly did not surprise me anymore. There was a time I would have called it love, but now I knew it was simply indifference dressed up a
EMILIANO I deliberately stayed away from home for two days, trying to avoid Valeria Jiménez Aguirre even though the truth was I was not avoiding her presence alone but the consequences of what she had already begun to see. I told myself I only needed time, space, and distance before everything co
VALERIA Renata leaned casually against the locker, her gaze fixed on me as I peeled off my gym instructor attire. Her expression carried that familiar mix of excitement and insistence as she watched me fold my things into my bag. “You will be at my birthday party, right?” she asked, her voice sof
