Affair

Love after Marriage

Hate to Love

"Sign the divorce papers, Nora." I didn't cry. I simply looked at the billionaire husband who had ignored me for three years and made one final demand. "One hundred days, Silas. Move back into my bedroom. Touch me like a man obsessed with his wife. On Day 101, I will sign the papers and walk away." Arrogant and certain, he agreed, assuming it was a desperate plea to use my body to win his heart back. He had no idea what he was walking into. By Day 20, the cold, untouchable CEO is rushing home just to pin me against our bedroom door. By Day 50, he’s pulling me into his lap, whispering breathless, desperate promises in the dark. He is addicted to the friction, using every searing kiss and heavy touch to forcefully brand me as his. He thinks the heated nights we share mean I am finally surrendering. He doesn't know the truth. I’m not using these 100 nights to fall back in love with him. I’m using his counterfeit passion to completely numb my heart. While my body responds to his fire, my soul is freezing over. On Day 100, Silas pours his soul into the most emotionally raw night of my life. He falls asleep holding me tight, entirely convinced his absolute worship has won me back forever. But on Day 101, he wakes up to cold sheets, an empty closet, and a signed contract. His money couldn't buy me. His touch couldn't keep me. Now, the billionaire who thought he was playing a game will burn his empire to the ground to find the wife who gave him her body, but vanished with her soul.

Chapter 1: The Countdown Begins
The grand dining room of the Sterling estate was suffocatingly quiet, save for the rhythmic, mocking tick-tock of the vintage grandfather clock in the corner. It was our third anniversary. I sat at one end of the absurdly long mahogany table, staring at the man sitting at the other. Silas Sterling. My husband. The ruthless CEO of Sterling Empire, the man who commanded boardrooms with a single, icy glare, and the man I had foolishly, silently loved for the better part of a decade. He was scrolling through his phone, his jaw locked in that familiar, rigid line. He hadn't touched his steak. He hadn't noticed the vintage Bordeaux I’d asked the staff to decant, and he certainly hadn't noticed the emerald-green silk dress I was wearing the very same color he had once absentmindedly mentioned looked good on me four years ago. "Silas," I said, my voice cutting through the heavy silence. He didn't look up. "If this is about the vacation to Milan, Nora, my assistant already told you I’m ca

Chapter 2: The Scent of Cedar and the Uninvited Guest
The master suite smelled of cedarwood, bergamot, and a faint trace of expensive Scotch. It was a scent I had spent three years desperately trying to catch on his collar, on his discarded jackets, or lingering in the hallways of the estate. Now, it was suffocatingly present in my bedroom. It was 7:00 AM on Day One. I sat at the vanity, methodically brushing my hair, watching through the mirror as Silas’s personal valet transferred half a dozen tailored Tom Ford suits into the massive walk-in closet. Silas stood leaning against the doorframe of the en-suite bathroom. He was already dressed for the office, adjusting the cuffs of his immaculate white shirt. His dark hair was perfectly styled, and his sharp, aristocratic jawline was set in an expression of arrogant amusement. He was watching me closely, waiting for the crack in my armor. He was waiting for me to blush, to tremble, or to throw myself at his feet in gratitude that he had finally crossed the threshold of my bedroom."Is th

Chapter 3: The Billionaire's Counterfeit Kiss
Day Four. Sharing a bedroom with Silas Sterling was supposed to be the hardest part of the detox. For three years, the mere thought of him being inches away in the dark would have sent my heart into a frantic, hopeful rhythm. But as I sat at my vanity on the fourth evening, clasping a delicate diamond tennis bracelet around my wrist, I realized the hardest part wasn't the proximity. The hardest part was realizing how much of myself I had erased just to make him comfortable. Tonight was the annual Vanguard Foundation Gala, the most ruthlessly photographed charity event in the city. In the past, Silas either attended alone, leaving me at home like a dusty heirloom, or he brought me along, dictating that I wear something "understated" so as not to draw attention away from the company’s image. I had always complied, wearing demure, high-necked gowns in muted pastels, blending perfectly into the background while he commanded the room. Not tonight. I stood up and smoothed my hands down

Chapter 4: The Cloakroom Claim
Day Four.The bartender handed me a glass of ice water with a twist of lemon. I didn't drink it immediately. I just held the heavy crystal glass, pressing the freezing condensation against my fingertips to ground myself. I had lied to Silas on the dance floor. Or, at least, my biology had. When his mouth had crashed down on mine in the middle of that ballroom, the physical shock of it had nearly buckled my knees. For three years, I had starved for his touch. My body had instinctively recognized the scent of cedar and the heavy, dominant heat of his frame, and for one terrifying second, it had wanted to surrender to the familiar gravity of him. But the detox was absolute. I had forced my heart to stay completely still, burying the physical yearning beneath a glacier of pure apathy. I took a slow sip of my water, my back still turned to the glittering chaos of the Vanguard Gala. "If looks could kill, Sterling would be standing over my corpse right now," a smooth, cultured voice mu

Chapter 5: The Liquidation of a Fantasy
Day Five. I woke up to the suffocating sensation of being completely anchored. Before my eyes even opened, my body registered the heavy, immovable warmth pressed against my spine. The invisible boundary line of the California King the one Silas had strictly maintained for three years had been completely obliterated in the middle of the night. A thick, heavily muscled arm was wrapped securely around my waist. But he wasn't pinning me; he was holding me. He was clinging to me the way a drowning man clings to a piece of driftwood in the dark. I lay perfectly still in the dim, gray morning light. The intoxicating scent of cedar, sleep, and the faint, lingering trace of his expensive cologne wrapped tightly around my senses. I could feel the steady, thundering rhythm of his heartbeat against my shoulder blades. His face was buried deep in the crook of my neck. His hot, uneven breaths fanned directly across my pulse point, sending a traitorous, aching warmth pooling in my chest. His la

Chapter 6: The Midnight Boundary
Day Six. The Sterling estate was completely silent, save for the heavy, rhythmic drumming of rain against the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. It was 11:30 PM. For the first time since the contract began, Silas had not come home for dinner. Clause Three dictated he had to be sitting at the dining table by seven o'clock, but he had texted the butler at six-forty-five with a curt, unapologetic message: Held up at the office. Will satisfy the midnight curfew.I wasn't angry. I was relieved. After the humiliating way I had liquidated his three-and-a-half-million-dollar sapphire necklace that morning, and the devastating way I had rejected his tender, vulnerable touch in the breakfast room, his ego had needed a place to hide. The untouchable billionaire CEO was completely unequipped to handle a woman who couldn't be bought, bullied, or seduced into submission. I stood in the center of the dark, cavernous kitchen, the only light coming from the open door of the industrial refrigerator

Chapter 7: The Maybach Confinement
Day Seven.The morning air outside the Sterling estate was crisp and biting, but it was nothing compared to the absolute zero temperature of my husband’s eyes. I stood under the grand portico at eight o’clock in the morning, waiting for my assigned driver. I was wearing a tailored charcoal-gray power suit with a silk cream camisole underneath. My hair was pulled back into a high, professional ponytail, and I held my leather briefcase like a shield. I had a 9:00 AM meeting downtown to sign the lease for the new Orion Strategies office space my first real step toward a life without Silas Sterling.The crunch of tires on gravel announced the arrival of a vehicle, but it wasn't my town car. It was Silas’s sleek, black Maybach. The rear door swung open. Silas was sitting in the corner of the expansive leather backseat. He was dressed in a ruthless, pitch-black bespoke suit, his white shirt crisp and his silver tie perfectly knotted. To anyone else, he looked like the king of the world.

Chapter 8: The Razor’s Edge
Day Eight.The signing for the Orion Strategies office space had gone perfectly. By three in the afternoon, I was the legal tenant of a sleek, glass-walled suite on the fiftieth floor of the Vane Building. It was high, it was cold, and most importantly, it was miles away from the suffocating shadows of the Sterling Empire.I had spent the rest of the afternoon in a haze of productivity, ordering minimalist furniture and reviewing the resumes of the three logistics experts I planned to poach from Silas’s competitors. But as the sun began to dip below the horizon, painting the city in bruised purples and golds, the "detox" started to feel like a heavy, physical weight in my chest.My body was still buzzing from the morning in the Maybach. My skin felt too tight, my pulse still echoing with the phantom rhythm of Silas’s thundering heartbeat. No matter how many documents I signed or how many walls of ice I built, the three years I had spent loving him were still clawing at the back of my

Chapter 9: The Boardroom Predator
Day Nine.The air in the restaurant was thick with the scent of white truffles, expensive perfume, and the quiet, lethal hum of high-stakes negotiations. Le Sommet was the kind of place where billion-dollar mergers were signed over appetizers and reputations were ruined before the main course arrived.I sat at a corner booth, the sunlight glinting off the polished silverware. I was wearing a sleeveless, cream-colored wool dress that hugged my frame, paired with a gold watch that ticked away the seconds of my life. I looked every bit the professional, but inside, I was a fortress of ice, reinforcing the walls I had built against the man who lived in my house.Across from me, Julian Thorne leaned back in his chair, his emerald-green eyes tracking the movement of my hands as I flipped through a digital contract."Your proposal for Orion Strategies is more than ambitious, Nora," Julian murmured, his voice a smooth, cultured baritone. "It’s a declaration of war against the current logistic

Chapter 10: The White Lotus and the Iron Wall
Day Ten.The grandfather clock in the foyer of the Sterling estate didn't just tell time; it felt like it was counting down the seconds of my execution. Except, as I sat in the drawing room with a glass of dry white wine, I realized I wasn’t the one being executed. I was the one holding the blade.It was 6:55 PM. According to Clause Three, Silas had five minutes to walk through that door and sit across from me for dinner. For the last two days, he had been punctual to the point of obsession, arriving with a dark, manic energy that suggested he had spent his entire afternoon staring at the clock, waiting for the moment he was legally allowed to be in my presence again.At 6:58 PM, the heavy oak doors groaned open.I didn't look up from my book. I waited for the familiar, rhythmic thud of his bespoke Oxfords against the marble. I waited for the scent of cedar and high-stakes stress to fill the room.Instead, I heard a soft, delicate sniffle. And then, a voice that sounded like spun sug
