LOGINAmelia Hart spent five years loving Damian Vale, the powerful CEO of Vale Corporation. She believed their cold marriage would eventually become real love… until the night she discovered another woman wearing the necklace Damian once claimed was “only for his wife.” Before Amelia can even explain herself after a staged misunderstanding, Damian humiliates her publicly during a company gala, accusing her of betrayal and greed. Crushed and secretly pregnant, Amelia leaves without telling him about the baby. Everyone thinks she disappeared in shame. But Amelia doesn’t break. She starts over in another city, finishes her medical training/business career, and slowly transforms into a confident, successful woman admired by everyone around her. Five years later, she returns. More beautiful. More powerful. Untouchable. And not alone. By her side is Adrian Cross — the man who helped raise her child and became the emotional support Damian never was. Damian is shattered the moment he sees her again. Especially when he notices the little boy with Amelia has his eyes. Now the CEO who once coldly signed divorce papers is the same man desperately chasing after the woman he destroyed. But Amelia isn’t the same woman anymore. And forgiveness may cost Damian everything.
View MoreThe following morning, Damian woke before the alarm.He lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling.Twenty-nine years.Three families.One company.And a man named Daniel Mercer who apparently knew how it all began.Beside him, Amelia stirred.“You're thinking again.”Damian turned toward her.“How did you know?”“You have that look.”“What look?”“The one you get when you're trying to solve a problem before breakfast.”He smiled.“I'm going to see Daniel Mercer today.”“I know.”“You're coming?”She raised an eyebrow.“You really thought you were going alone?”Damian laughed quietly.“No.”“Good.”She sat up.“But before we leave, I want breakfast.”“Of course.”“And you're making it.”His smile disappeared.“Why?”“Because you woke me up with your worrying.”“That isn't how marriage works.”“It is today.”He shook his head.“Yes, ma'am.”---By nine o'clock, they were on their way.Adrian had sent them the address.A quiet neighborhood far from the city center.No security guard
Damian remained silent long after the call ended.Amelia watched him.“The company was created by your family?”He nodded slowly.“Twenty-nine years ago.”“And Jonathan owned it?”“Apparently.”She studied his face.“Damian…”“I know what you're thinking.”“No, you don't.”He looked at her.“You're thinking I should simply give him the company.”Amelia shook her head.“I wasn't going to say that.”“Then what?”“That we need to know the truth before deciding what belongs to whom.”For a moment, Damian said nothing.Then he smiled faintly.“That is exactly why I married you.”Amelia rolled her eyes.“Don't try to distract me.”“I wasn't.”“You were.”He laughed softly.Then his expression became serious again.“Let's go home.”---By the time they returned to the house, the rest of the family had already gathered.Adrian was sitting at the dining table with Nathan's documents spread before him.Victoria stood near the window.Elena sat quietly beside Mara.Noah was on the floor, playing
The next morning, Damian arrived at Vale Group before sunrise.He hadn't slept much.Neither had Amelia.The message from Jonathan remained on his mind.THIRTY DAYS.Not a threat thrown into the air.A deadline.A legal deadline backed by documents, trusts, and a history Damian hadn't known existed.When the elevator doors opened, Nathan was already waiting.“You came early.”Damian stepped out.“So did you.”Nathan gave a tired smile.“I thought you might want to see this before the board does.”He handed Damian a folder.Damian opened it as they walked.“What is it?”“The original shareholder agreement. The complete version.”Damian stopped.“You found the missing page?”“Yes.”“And?”Nathan lowered his voice.“The copy we had wasn't altered recently. It was replaced decades ago.”Damian looked up.“Meaning?”“Someone deliberately removed the final pages before the agreement entered the company's official records.”Damian's eyes hardened.“Who had access?”“That is what I'm trying t
For several seconds after Jonathan left, nobody in the boardroom moved.The door closed behind him with a soft click.Damian remained standing.His eyes were fixed on the door.Amelia watched him carefully.“Damian?”He finally turned.“I don't trust him.”Nathan exhaled. “Neither do I.”Adrian leaned against the table, arms folded.“But that doesn't mean everything he said was a lie.”Victoria slowly nodded.“My father kept records of the Vale family agreement,” she said. “If Jonathan's name was deliberately removed from those records, there has to be a reason.”Damian walked back to the table.“Then we find the reason.”Nathan immediately opened his laptop.“There is something else.”Everyone looked at him.Nathan turned the screen around.“The trust that currently holds eighteen percent of Vale Group shares.”Damian's expression hardened.“What about it?”“It wasn't established six months ago.”Silence.Nathan enlarged the document.“It was registered six months ago,” he continued.
The words slammed into Damian like a physical blow.“Don’t touch her.”For a second, nobody moved.Amelia’s body trembled weakly in Adrian’s arms, her face pale enough to terrify everyone in the room.“Move aside,” Damian said coldly.Adrian ignored him completely.“Get water,” he told Sophie calml
Amelia’s heartbeat stopped for a second.No.Not now.Not tonight.Sophie looked between the door and Amelia in confusion before opening it wider.Standing outside was a tall man dressed in a dark coat, rainwater still glistening faintly on his shoulders. His sharp features carried the calm confide
Damian Vale did not sleep that night.By three in the morning, the entire top floor of Vale Corporation remained brightly lit while executives and assistants moved nervously through the hallways like soldiers preparing for war.Nobody dared ask questions.Nobody dared mention Amelia.But everyone c
For one terrifying second, Damian thought he misheard.The noise of the ballroom faded into the background.“What did you say?”On the other end of the call, the hotel manager sounded nervous.“Mrs. Vale collapsed near the west entrance. Security said she nearly fainted in the rain.”Damian’s grip
