LOGINOn her birthday, Giselle Macmillan receives a gift she will never forget. A video of her husband in another woman’s bed. In one brutal moment, her perfect marriage shatters. The love she believed in? A lie. The man she trusted? A stranger. Determined to walk away, Giselle demands a divorce… but Kennedy Macmillan refuses to let her go, tightening his grip like she’s something he owns. And then there’s him. Joseph Macmillan, Ken’s older brother. A billionaire, cold, ruthless, and untouchable. He doesn’t just want her gone. He’s determined to break her until she leaves Ken. But when Giselle’s father collapses from the shock and her husband disappears without a trace, the last person she expects steps in to save her was Joseph. The same man who’s been trying to drive her out of his brother’s life. Now Giselle is trapped between two brothers. One who won’t let her go, and one who might ruin her in ways she never saw coming.
View More♥༺Annie༻♥ Ten years ago Ken walked back into my life like a storm that had finally decided to settle.He had proven over and over that the man standing in front of me was different, staying right by my side through those last hard months of pregnancy, putting every bit of his New York business on hold just so he could remain in Mexico with me, yet the memory of the version who once threatened to end me never fully left.I had seen both faces of him, lived through the tender careful one and the cold merciless one, and the question that kept looping in my head was simple: how was I ever supposed to trust that the darkness wouldn’t crawl back out one day? So we stayed friends. After Kayla came into the world, Ken and even his parents kept gently pushing for marriage, but I poured every ounce of myself into the Mexico branch of Joseph’s company instead.I had clawed too hard and too long to build something that belonged only to me, and the idea of going back to working under Ken felt lik
Ten Years Later ♥༺Kayla༻♥ Aunt Giselle’s voice floated in from the doorway, soft but carrying that gentle urgency that always meant the clock was ticking against me. “Kayla, honey, you’ve gotta get ready. Your dad just called and said he’s already here to pick you up.” A low groan rolled out of me as I stayed sprawled across the big princess bed, the soft pink canopy overhead feeling more like a shield than decoration. The last thing I wanted was to leave this place. Staying right here with everyone who made everything feel steady sounded so much better than packing up again. Aunt Giselle gave me that helpless little smile of hers, the one that made her eyes soft, and her mouth turn up even when she didn’t have a good answer.She was still the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen, the kind of pretty that made people stop and stare, and everybody always talked about how her kids got all those looks from her.But Uncle Jo was every bit as handsome as my own dad, with that same strong
♥༺Giselle༻♥ Joseph frowned as he pulled away from me. “Why is she calling me?” He sounded genuinely confused. Without wasting another second, he swiped across the screen, turned on the speaker, and answered. “Mr. Macmillan…” Annie’s voice trembled so badly that I immediately sat up straighter. She sounded terrified. Joseph’s expression instantly became serious. “Annie, what’s going on? You know you aren’t supposed to—” She cut him off before he could finish. “It’s Ken!” Her breathing came fast and uneven. “Did you tell him where I am? I went out to buy baby clothes, and the second I walked out of the store I ran into him. I’ve been hiding in the women’s restroom, but I know he isn’t going to leave.”A frightened sob escaped her. “Mr. Macmillan, please. You have to send someone to help me.” Hearing the fear in her voice made my chest tighten, and at the same time guilt washed over me. Only moments ago, I’d wondered if Joseph was having any kind of romantic relationship with Annie.
♥༺Giselle༻♥ “So that’s everything,” Esther’s voice floated through the phone, carrying both excitement and a little embarrassment. “I’ve been trying to convince him to make it three weeks instead of one, but he refuses to listen. He’s completely set on seven days.” She let out an exaggerated sigh, clearly expecting me to take her side. Instead, I burst out laughing. I leaned back in my recliner, trying to picture everything she had just told me. Honestly, I couldn’t blame her for keeping it from me. For the past several weeks my entire life had been one whirlwind after another.Between my wedding, settling into married life, and adjusting to my pregnancy, everyone around me had been focused on me. No wonder Esther never found the right time to tell me. “I’m surprised you still don’t understand,” I told her. Confusion filled her voice. “What are you talking about?” Another laugh escaped me. Trust Esther to miss something so obvious. “The poor man hasn’t even gotten a taste of the

Giselle’s POVIt didn’t take long after I got back home for my phone to light up with a message from Ken, his name flashing across the screen like nothing had changed, like everything between us was still normal, still intact, still worth holding onto.Babe, there’s so much to do at the office. I w
Giselle’s POV“Wakie, wakie, babe.”Ken’s voice slipped into my head, deep and familiar, but instead of the warmth I used to wake up wrapped in, it hit me like something sharp, jarring, that pulled me out of sleep too fast and left me disoriented in its wake.My eyes opened slowly, heavy, and reluc
Giselle’s POVThe scent of fresh roses hit me before anything else, soft and sweet, wrapping around me like a memory I didn’t even know I was holding onto. My lips curved into a lazy smile as my eyes slowly opened, still heavy with sleep.“Happy birthday, my love.”Ken’s voice came from behind me,
