LOGINShe was always the good girl. Until heartbreak made her reckless. Elena Sinclair thought marriage meant forever. But five years in, her “forever” has become a gilded cage of pain and betrayal. She’s the wife who couldn’t give him a child. The barren disappointment. And for that, her husband offered her a cruel compromise… an open marriage. One that gave him the right to find someone who could carry his heir. The next day, he brought a pregnant woman home. The same woman who was first introduced as his cousin. The humiliation doesn’t end there, his mother lashes out… hurling insults and even fists, while her husband turns a blind eye. Not once has he defended her. Not once has he shown her love. She’s nothing more than a placeholder… a name on a marriage certificate. The cruelest part? She loved him. She loved him long before the vows, long before the lies… so deeply it blinded her to who he really was. Now, to make him jealous, she turns to the one man she should never touch: Jaxx Moretti, her husband’s younger brother. The dangerous one. The black sheep of the Sinclair family. The man who once made her high school years hell… and now has every reason to destroy her husband's legacy. What starts as a twisted game soon ignites into something raw, addictive, and completely forbidden. But Jaxx isn’t just her escape. He’s everything her husband isn’t. Because the deeper she sinks into Jaxx's bed… The harder it becomes to crawl back out.

The absolute fury coursing through my blood turned the world entirely red, my vision narrowing to a single, terrible point of focus. The tracking chip I had secretly embedded into Elena's hair was screaming at me from thirty thousand feet in the air. Thirty thousand feet. She was on a plane… a plane I hadn't authorized, hadn't arranged, hadn't even known about. My mind flashed violently back to just last night, when she'd told me she was going to see her mother at that rundown hospital. She had looked at me with those wide, haunted eyes, trying to defend the indefensible, wanting so desperately to give that wicked woman the benefit of the doubt. I had seen the fragile hope fracturing her usual stubbornness, watched her armor crack just enough to let that poisonous vulnerability seep through, and it had made my chest ache with a prot
Jaxx's Point Of ViewThe mahogany table stretched out like polished bone beneath the low, ambient lights of the penthouse boardroom. Around it sat seven men who controlled the flow of every piece of unregistered cargo, every offshore shell company, and every major under-the-table transaction from Dallas to the border.These were dangerous men, the kind who usually took orders from no one. The kind who'd built empires on broken bones and buried secrets, who'd survived wars both literal and economic through sheer ruthlessness. But right now, none of them dared look at each other. They were looking at me. Or rather, they watched the way my thumb lazily tracked the rim of my lighter, the small flame clicking open, hiss-flickering, then snapping shut in the heavy silence. Each click echoed in the tension-thick air like a countdown to something inevitable. I wasn't listening to them. Victor, the head of the east-side distribution channels, was currently sweating through his silk tie, stu
Elena's Pont Of View"Yes, I am gullible! I am completely stupid for believing a single word that came out of her mouth!" The words tore from my chest, raw and jagged, slicing through the heavy drone of the jet's engine. My voice fractured under the weight of it all, hot tears finally spilling over and carving slow, burning paths down my bruised cheeks. Each breath felt like swallowing glass. I leaned forward against the biting pressure of the zip-ties, my glare cutting into Graham's pristine, aristocratic face. Even now, even here, he looked immaculate… not a hair out of place, his suit pressed to perfection. The sight of his composure made my rage burn hotter, a white-hot fury that threatened to consume me from the inside out. "But you will never understand it," I said, shaking my head as my lips twisted into a bitter, trembling line. The words came out thick with emotion, each syllable weighted with years of buried pain. "No one would ever understand it unless they were forced to
Elena's Point Of ViewThe sharp, chemical-sweet stench of chloroform still clung to the back of my throat when consciousness finally knitted itself back together, piece by fractured piece. My eyelids felt weighted with lead. I blinked heavily, my vision swimming in a blurry mess of bright white light that seemed to pierce straight through to my skull. A low, persistent thrumming vibrated through the soles of my shoes and up into my bones, setting my teeth on edge.The air felt thin. Dry. Wrong. It tasted recycled, artificial… nothing like the musty hospital smell I'd expected. I tried to raise my hand to press against my throbbing temples, but my wrist refused to move. A sharp, heavy snap of metal ground against metal, the sound cutting through my disorientation like a knife. My eyes flew wide open, the fog of confusion instantly melting into cold, spiking panic. I looked down, my breath catching in my chest. This wasn't a hospital room. I wasn't even on solid ground. I sat in a pl
Jaxx’s Point Of ViewHe laughed then… a raw, throttled thing that didn’t reach his eyes. “You won’t,” he said. “You won’t pull it.”I let the silence sit heavy, like a curtain. He expected the dramatic halting moment, the moral hesitation. What he didn’t expect was that I’d already decided the play
Elena’s Point Of ViewIt had been two weeks since I had seen Jaxx.Two long, blessed weeks.Not after what he had done in my office, in front of my workers, almost humiliating me, cornering me, making me feel things I swore I would never feel around him again. Who does that? Who has the audacity to
Elena’s Point Of ViewThe sound of my name being called snapped me back into the room. For a moment, I had forgotten where I was, the dazzling chandeliers, the perfectly dressed guests, the gentle clink of glasses. All eyes turned toward me with warm applause. My chest tightened, not from nerves, b
Jaxx’s Point Of View “Oh… I came to check if you’re still breathing, Matilda.” Her lips parted, her breath hitched, shock painted her expression. She hadn’t expected that. She stiffened in her seat, as though the words themselves burned her skin. And that’s when the old man snapped. “Watch y
