تسجيل الدخولSidney Vale is the innocent 24-year-old adopted daughter of Gregory Vale, a ruthless billionaire whose wealth and influence conceal a dark and abusive nature. Desperate to escape an arranged marriage arranged by Gregory to fulfil his political ambitions, Sidney takes a vacation where she meets 38-year-old CEO Damian Blackwood and shares a passionate night with him. What she does not know is that Damian is Gregory’s greatest enemy. Damian Blackwood has spent years rebuilding the empire his father lost after Gregory’s ruthless actions drove him to ruin. Determined to exact revenge, Damian sees an opportunity when circumstances force him into a public marriage with Sidney. He intends to use her to destroy Gregory from within, never expecting the innocent and compassionate young woman to change his life. As Sidney falls deeply in love with her husband, Damian struggles to balance his thirst for revenge with his growing feelings for her. Their relationship becomes increasingly complicated by family secrets, betrayal, corporate warfare, and the presence of Diane, Damian’s longtime companion, whose obsession with him threatens to destroy everything. When Sidney discovers the truth behind Damian’s intentions, she is devastated. Yet, she chooses to stand beside her husband rather than abandon him, especially after learning of Gregory’s crimes and the pain he caused Damian’s family. Together, they work to expose Gregory’s corruption and bring down his empire. Their journey is marked by loss, heartbreak, and sacrifice, resulting in a series of devastating events that test the limits of their love. In the aftermath, Sidney emerges stronger than ever, transforming her pain into purpose. While Damian seeks redemption for his mistakes, Sidney dedicates herself to helping other women escape abusive situations, proving that true strength lies not in revenge but in healing, forgiveness, and self-discovery.
عرض المزيدSidney’s PovI was discharged from the hospital seven days later. I was still sore all over and had to be wheeled both out of the hospital and into the mansion. Father was waiting at the entrance, not to welcome me but to tell me he had very important news for me. I was too tired to be upset, but Mom helped me up the stairs, reminding him that I was in no condition to speak with him. Surprisingly, he listened and let me be, and though it might have been a hallucination, I thought I saw him smile as he went back into his study.I stayed silent upstairs in my room, waiting to hear the breaking of glass or, better still, his loud thunderous voice, telling my mother not to ever speak to him in that way ever again, but no sound came. Ten minutes...Twenty minutes...Thirty minutes...nothing. I prayed it would stay that way, I prayed he...would stay that way.I drifted off to sleep but was soon awakened by the feeling of someone’s palm resting on my face. It weighed too heavily to be my mother
Sidney’s PovThere I was, trembling in my bathroom, burying my face in between my knees. My palms covering my ears, desperately trying to drown out the sound of father’s loud angry voice.“She’s pregnant, that wretch is pregnant for a Blackwood!!” I heard my father curse out loud again. My bathroom door had no lock, neither did my room door have any, so I knew the only reason he hadn’t bounded up the stairs with a belt in his hand was because he didn’t want to. Not right now anyways.I had just taken a pregnancy test using an IV strip his request after I had confessed under duress that I had sex with Damian. He watched me pee and I was grossed out but couldn’t help the situation. The lines were as clear as day, taking the strip from me, he had stormed out to show it to my mother, as if he was waiting for this moment although I knew he wasn’t.He had spoken about it all week, and today was no exception. I heard heavy foot steps bounding up the stairs and I waited in fear. My throat was
Damian’s PovI sipped my coffee as I watched the morning news at the office. It had been a week since the pictures had been leaked to the press and it was a particularly messy situation.Senator Lance had proceeded to drag Gregory Vales name through dry mud over the last week, scraping it of every confidence it held. The engagement between Sidney and Lance had never been publicized but bitter Lance took the opportunity to publicly announce the breakup and as if that wasn’t enough, he also made it a point to tell the media that he and Gregory vale were no longer going to be in business any more.I was amused at the amount of hate and criticism Gregory was getting. Gregory had spent years convincing anyone who cared to listen that he was not a fan of Damian Blackwood, but now, he would have a swell time defending those pictures.I pitied Sidney a little because of the unprintable names, she was being called by the media. Some said Gregory used her to bid his way to the to, selling her to
Sidney’s PovFather finally granted me some freedom, just for a week, though I was allowed to go on a short vacation, to clear my head and consider his decision to sell me off to Lance.I shrugged as the name echoed in my mind and brushed the thought of it.It was evening when I got to the vacation spot, and when I got to my hotel room, I decided to take a quick shower and head down to the bar. I hadn’t had alcohol before, but I think I could use it right now. I got to the bar and stood there, confused about what to order.“This is your first time at a bar, huh?” A voice startles me out of my pondering.I turned to see an unbelievably handsome, tall, bearded man. He looked at me like he was staring at food, which made me slightly uncomfortable.“You look confused,” he continued. I was embarrassed by how direct his tone and voice were. I could have sworn I recognized his voice from somewhere.“Good day to you, too,” I answered slyly.He stopped for a moment and walked forward, keeping
Damian’s PovI hated Gregory Vale with everything in me, and this hatred was not born overnight. Gregory Vale ruined my father. He ruined my life, and one month later, my father put a bullet through his own head, a memory that still choked me like poison.I stood near the ballroom entrance of the
Sidney's PovBy evening, luxury cars lined the circular driveway outside while security guards in black suits moved around the estate. The sound of classical music floated through the mansion as wealthy guests arrived. I stood in front of my bedroom mirror silently while one of the hired stylists a
Two Years Earlier…Sidney's PovThe sound of breaking glass downstairs startled me out of sleep, and I sat up immediately, breathing heavily as I heard another loud crash echo through the mansion walls. For a few seconds, I stayed still, staring into the darkness of my room while my heart beat rapi

I stared blankly at him, my trembling hand almost letting my phone slip from my grasp.“Mrs. Blackwood, your son’s condition is very critical.”I shook my head before he could finish, “No…” “No, that's not possible
