INICIAR SESIÓNMy husband was cheating on me, and it was even more devastating because he was cheating with his twin brother’s wife. When the truth came out, my marriage wasn’t the only one destroyed. Andy Vaughn, the cold billionaire CEO and my husband’s twin, had been betrayed too. His solution? Revenge. We would pretend everything was fine while secretly tearing apart the lives of the two people who betrayed us. It should have been simple. However, revenge transformed into stolen glances, lingering touches, and feigning love in public. Andy wasn’t just the billionaire I once knew; he was the boy I had loved before I understood the concept of love. And the closer we became, the more dangerous our little game turned. I thought we were planning revenge. I never planned to fall for him again.

He must have been driving before she finished hanging up.Hannah opened the door and didn't step back to let him in right away. She just held the email up between them, Andy's own words facing him."Read it," she said. "Out loud. I want to hear you say it in your own voice."He didn't take the page. He didn't need to."'If I play this patiently, I don't just get Danny's company. I get everything he took from me the first time, including the girl he had no business marrying.'" His voice was steady, but something underneath it wasn't. "I know what it says, Hannah. I wrote it.""Then tell me what it means." Her hand was shaking, just slightly, holding the page like evidence in a trial she hadn't wanted to be part of. "Was I ever anything except a line item in your plan to ruin your brother?"Andy stepped inside without being invited, and for once she let him, because she needed to see his face when he answered
The knock came at nine in the morning, before Hannah had finished her coffee, before she'd even decided what the day was going to be.Gianna stood in the hallway in a coat that cost more than Hannah's rent, holding a single sheet of paper like it was a peace offering."I won't stay long," she said, before Hannah could speak. "I just think you deserve to see this before you get any further into whatever you think is happening with Andy.""I don't need anything from you.""You'll want this." Gianna held the paper out anyway. "It's an email. From March. Andy sent it to his old roommate from business school, the one who works in PR now. I imagine he never expected anyone but Marcus to read it."Hannah didn't move to take it."Read it out loud, then. If it matters so much."Something flickered across Gianna's face — mild surprise, maybe,
Andy didn't get back in the car right away.He stood on the wet sidewalk with his hands in his pockets, watching Hannah slide her dark phone into her clutch like she was closing a door somewhere behind her ribs."You're allowed to feel something about that," he said. "Twelve calls. That used to be the whole shape of your life.""I know." She looked up at him. "I keep waiting to feel something about it. Guilt, maybe. Or missing him." She shook her head slowly. "I don't feel anything. I think that scares me more than if I did.""It shouldn't.""Why not?""Because feeling nothing for Danny isn't the same as feeling nothing." Andy stepped closer, close enough that the streetlight caught the exact color of his eyes, the ones she used to draw wrong in crayon because no color ever came close. "You're not empty, Hannah. You're just not looking in his direction anymor
Priya called on Wednesday with an idea that solved a problem Hannah hadn't told her she had."I want to do a preview reception," she said. "Before the spring show. Press, a few collectors, low-key. Get people talking about the work before everyone else does." A pause. "Does Friday work?"Hannah looked at the calendar on her kitchen wall, at Friday circled three times in Andy's handwriting from the night they'd sat at her table dividing four days into a plan."Friday's perfect," she said.The gallery was warm gold light and quiet conversation by eight o'clock, Hannah's three canvases hung under careful spotlights at the center of the room. She'd changed outfits twice and settled on the green dress because it was the one that felt like hers, not the one Danny would have chosen for her.Andy found her by the second painting, two glasses of champagne in hand, dressed down in a way she'd never seen — no tie, sleeves rolled, like a man who'd decided tonight wasn't a performance."You're not
