Silver Loraine was just the housekeeper’s daughter until she married the billionaire heir, Burke Carrington. A year into the marriage, Burke divorces her in a fit of rage, believing she seduced his powerful father. Humiliated, heartbroken, and unknowingly pregnant, Silver disappears. Three years later, she returns as the surprise heiress to half of Carrington Enterprises, thanks to the very man who ruined her life: Bartholomew Carrington. His will has two conditions: Silver must live under the same roof with her ex-husband for 90days and also work side by side with him… or forfeit everything. To make matters worse, her son bears an uncanny resemblance to the late patriarch. Burke is furious. He thinks Silver betrayed him. She thinks he’s still the arrogant coward who chose pride over love. And with a charming business consultant guiding Silver every step of the way, Burke is about to learn what it means to lose everything… again. Let the war begin.

He wore a smug, self-satisfied grin, as if delivering bad news was his favorite hobby. “New owner, ma'am. We are willing to double your outstanding payment, but you must leave before the week ends. The building is not stable."His mouth curved into a tight, near pitying smile, but his eyes told different stories.Silver wanted to smack the smugness off his face, but she held herself.“Right. The same house I've been staying in for the past three years is suddenly unstable. Who's this new owner?" She asked curtly, her words dripping with suspicion and sarcasm.Silver didn't believe the bullshit story the man was selling her.“Above my pay grade," He said calmly, but Silver could see the smirk he was trying to hide.“Of course." She retorted.Silver knew Burke was behind this. Who else threatened to ruin her life on
“Where is he?! Where is my son?!" Silver yelled in fear as she rushed into the moderate but luxurious two-bedroom apartment she's been living in for three years now.Bartholomew had wanted to get her somewhere bigger, but Silver had refused, wanting her son to have an everyday life like she did.And now he may be in trouble because of that.Let him be safe, please. Silver said a quick prayer before pushing the door to his room open.She expected to find it empty or worse, damaged. Something bad must have happened if the babysitter was nowhere in sight and wasn't picking up her calls, right?But the room wasn't empty when Silver entered. In the middle of the bed was her 2-year-old son, sleeping peacefully. From the deep snore emitting through his parted lip, Silver guessed he'd been asleep awhile.She sighed heavily, a lone tear slipped down her left cheek as she sat on the edge of the bed. She sniffled.She had been terrified. Even now, her hands still shook. Gently, she leaned over
When Bartholomew told Silver he would give her the key to his dynasty, she thought he was crazy. Then Mathias turned a year old, and he began the process.“Aaron will teach you everything you need to know about the corporate world." Bartholomew declared, introducing Silver to the man who took her from a novice to the fearless woman she is now.In a room full of people waiting to take turns at stabbing her, Silver wasn't scared.Silver's lips twitched, but she quickly flattened them before a smile could escape. It wasn't time to stir the fire, she decided.It didn't matter because Burke got on his feet and stalked towards her. Silver rose to meet him.“What did you do?” Burke murmured, but his eyes were sharp.“Don't talk to me, Burke, talk to Clem," Silver said confidently, refusing to break gaze with him.She watched him breathe hard, his brows twitching as he studied her. She saw when he finally lost the battle of calmness; he shut his eyes for a few seconds and then opened them bac
The car rolled to a stop, and Silver lowered the window to gaze up at the mansion she used to call home.It had been three years.The Carrington mansion is as lovely as she remembered, with a wide golden gate separating it from the outside world. The ancient three-story building stood regal. Silver inhaled, held it in, and let it out slowly, her hand tightening around the car door.It was finally time.Just then her phone rang, and when she glanced at it, she saw it was the babysitter she had hired for the day.“Yes?" Silver murmured as she picked up the call, mildly grateful for the distraction. She wasn't ready to go behind those gates yet; she knew what awaited her.“He keeps asking for you, ma'am. I don't know what else to do.” The young woman said, sounding frazzled.Silver sighed again. Her son wasn't a troublemaker, but then again, he's never had a babysitter. Silver had always taken care of him, until now. Now she had more responsibilities— soon, she would be controlling an em
"You slept with my father?” Burke Carrington’s deep voice reached Silver Lorraine through the fog of her sleep. The words made no sense to her, though, so she stirred and tried to open her eyes. A cold jar of water hit her face almost immediately, and the blanket ripped off her naked body.Silver gasped, sputtering awake with a cough.“What the hell?" She muttered, pushing to a sitting position through the wet sheets.She blinked at the fierce, stormy, blue-eyed man staring down at her. Her heart raced, and she reached up to push back the curly black hair now plastered to her damp cheeks. Something was wrong, Silver knew this much. Burke wasn't a man quick to anger; he was loving and kind, a rare contrast to the people who raised him —It's why Silver married him. But right now, Silver couldn't recognize him.“Get up!" He barked, his sharp voice intensifying the pounding of her heart. Silver's brow furrowed, and her mind raced to understand Burke's behavior, but nothing she came up
