CHAPTER 1: MY HUSBAND LEFT ME-GOOD GIRL GONE BAD

Julia I washed the makeup off my face as my eyes darted to my reflection in the mirror. My hands traced the red bruises under my eyes from my husband’s last thrashing.I checked the time. It was 7:30 p.m., and I knew what that meant—Gilbert’s dinner had to be ready and set on the table by the time he walked in at 8 p.m. I hastened into the kitchen. Just as I was about to lay it on the table, he arrived.“Honey, you’re back,” I said with a smile.But he returned it with a cold, hard gaze.“Dinner’s ready.” My hands trembled as I placed the plate down on the table.He shook his head. “You’re useless, Julia. One task—get dinner ready by the time I’m home. You’ve failed at it, just as you fail at everything in your life.”“I’m sorry, Honey. If you would just have dinner, please—”“I’m not interested in your dinner.”“Okay… Tell me what you’re interested in, and I’ll make it happen. I could whip it up real quick—by the time you’re done freshening up, it’ll be ready.” I was exhausted, but

CHAPTER 2: ONE NIGHT STAND WITH A HANDSOME STRANGER

JuliaI walked into the Excel VIP Club in a provocative silver short dress with a matching purse, ready to let my imagination run wild. I didn’t know how far I was willing to go, but I was ready to try.I found a spot, sipped my glass of sparkling whiskey, and then my gaze fell upon the most breathtaking man I had ever seen. I wanted to look away, but I couldn’t. He looked young, but something dark in his eyes suggested he wasn’t as young as he appeared. He smiled at me, and I suddenly found the strength to look away.Wait! He’s getting up and approaching my direction. Is he coming for me? I wondered.“Hello,” he said, plastering a smile on his face. Lord! He was drop-dead gorgeous. His dark eyes pierced into mine, sending a sweet tingling all over my body. I tried to smile back, but his intense gaze held me captive, like he was drawing me in. His thick brows framed his eyes perfectly. Was there anything imperfect about him? His high cheekbones were attractively defined complementing

CHAPTER 3: MEETING MY SON’S BEST FRIEND

JuliaMichael was right. I’d never been able to forget him. It had been a year since my one-night stand with that gorgeous stranger, yet he had haunted my dreams ever since. I never went back to that club—I couldn’t risk seeing him again. Not after he had awakened a dark desire in me that terrified me.It had been the best mistake of my life—but also a terrible one.I had to get used to my life now. No more wild nights, and Gilbert wasn’t coming back. I had been busy with work. More importantly, I had been focusing on being a mother.Olivia, my daughter, mentioned she was heading to the boutique for a change of clothes and would be coming home with Justin, my son. Surprisingly, Justin said he’d be bringing his best friend from college, who would be staying with us for a while.Lately, I had been working so much, paving my way to becoming Vice President of King Global. The last guy resigned, and now It was up for grabs. I had to impress the new CEO when he arrived—to show him I was the

CHAPTER 4: FACING MY BLAST FROM THE PAST

JuliaI flipped through the clothes in my wardrobe, unable to settle on the right dress. Nothing seemed quite attractive enough. I tried to convince myself that I just wanted to try something different today. I wasn’t trying to look good for my son’s handsome best friend, who was staying with us for the summer. I just wanted to look good for myself—or at least that’s what I told myself. But who was I kidding? I never second-guessed what I wore every morning. Yet here I was, struggling to find the perfect dress that would make me feel confident.I gave the wardrobe one last glance, and there it was—a stunning black gown my friend Beatrice had given me for my last birthday. I had never gotten around to wearing it. I hadn’t felt the need to—until now. It seemed so revealing, but I didn’t care anymore. It had been a year since Michael and I had last seen each other. I had to look as hot as I did on the day we met.Why did I care so much about what he thought of my looks? I wondered as I w

CHAPTER 5: ANOTHER LIE

JuliaI suddenly became afraid that he would bring up the past again, and I wouldn’t know how to deny it this time. But refusing to let him come with me might make the kids suspicious.Breakfast was over, and I grabbed my purse as Michael and I headed out. He pulled the car door open for me, standing a bit too close. His dark eyes locked on mine, his lips hovering near mine, ready to claim a kiss. I breathed faster, unwilling to stop him. Why did I feel such strong chemistry with him as he leaned closer?“We should get going. My children are probably watching us,” I managed to mutter.He stepped back, catching my drift, and let me get into the car. He entered the driver’s seat, and we drove off.“I know just the right place. If you don’t mind, I’d like to take you there instead,” he said.I nodded but I refused to let my gaze stay fixed on him this time. “Where are we picking Beatrice up?” he teased, knowing I had lied.“Uh… she just canceled.”“Just us, then. Perfect.” He smiled.

CHAPTER 6: ALONE WITH MR. KING

JuliaThe look on his face told me he meant every word. If I told another lie, he was going to kiss me. As much as I wanted that, I couldn’t let it happen. So, I turned my gaze away from him, looking out the window. He started the car and drove us home. The moment we arrived, I got out without waiting for him to open the door for me. After all, in my twenty years of marriage to Gilbert, he’d never done that, so it didn’t matter to me. I was used to doing things myself.I glanced over my shoulder and saw him packing up the boutique shopping bags and following me. I reached for the door handle, but it was locked. That could only mean one thing—Justin and Olivia weren’t home. I bent down, retrieved the key from under the footmat, and unlocked the door. My heart raced as I walked inside. Michael and I were alone, and he knew it.I hurried up the stairs, hearing his footsteps close behind me as he carried the shopping bags he had bought for me. He placed them neatly on the bed, all of them

CHAPTER 7: AFRAID OF BEING CAUGHT PART 1

“Quick, Michael, you have to hide in the closet.” I whispered, grabbing his arm with shaky hands. “Excuse me?” he looked at me, confused.“Please, just go. Go in the closet,” I said, my voice trembling as I hurried to pull my dress back on. But he didn’t move, just stood there, watching me.“I’m not hiding in the closet, Julia.”“Okay, the bathroom then.” I stretched my hand toward the bathroom. “Go wait in the bathroom.”“No!”“Mom!” Olivia knocked louder, her patience clearly running thin. “Michael, please! Hide!” I begged, my heart racing. “I’m not hiding, Julia. I came here to see you. What’s wrong with that?” he said, his voice tense, like he didn’t understand how serious this was. We could get caught—and that would be really bad.“Mom, what’s going on?” Olivia knocked even harder, jiggling the handle. Thankfully, it was locked. I groaned under my breath and walked toward the door, frustrated that Michael still refused to hide.I opened the door just a little and peeked out.“

CHAPTER 8: AFRAID OF BEING CAUGHT PART 2

Julia“Quit it, Beatrice.”“You did it! You oiled your garden. You finally took my advice,” she twittered.“It’s not what you think.”“Uh-huh. You can lie to your kids all you want, but you know you can’t lie to me, right?”I exhaled. “There was someone…but that’s in the past. Nothing could ever happen between us again.”“Again?” Beatrice blinked. “Julia—again? What the hell happened before?”A cough came from behind us. Beatrice and I turned to see Michael.“Who is this sexy god, Julia?” Beatrice practically drooled as she gawked at him.“Beatrice, you can’t say that. Watch your words. That’s Mr. King—Justin’s best friend.”“I don’t mind making you my best friend too,” Beatrice purred, eyeing him with a mischievous grin.Michael chuckled. “I’m Michael. Nice to meet you…”“Beatrice,” she replied eagerly, taking his hand. “Anyone ever tell you you’re incredibly handsome, Michael?”“Yeah, I get that a lot,” he smiled.“Fuck me…even his smile is breathtaking. Can I take you out on a date

CHAPTER 9: I WANT YOU

Julia“I can’t, Michael.” My voice cracked. He pulled me closer, one hand pressing into the small of my back, the other gripping my waist. I could feel his hot breath against my neck.“You want me, and we both know it,” he murmured, his lips brushing the side of my jaw. “Stop being a coward, Julia.”“You’ve got some nerve,” I snapped, pushing against his chest. “You walk into my life for a few days and think you know anything about me? We had sex once—so what? Move on, Michael King.”He caught my wrist as I tried to step away, holding it with tenderness yet firmly.“Don’t walk out on me, Julia.”“And why not?” My chest rose and fell fast, trying to fight the heat building between us. “You’re making demands of me that are ridiculous.”His jaw tensed. “I wish I could control what you’re doing to me. I wish I had a stop button inside my head—just so I could wake up for even one day without thinking about you. But I can’t.”“I’m married, Michael.” My voice dropped. Shame washed over me as

CHAPTER 10: JEALOUS OF THE OTHER MAN WITH ME

Julia I sat on the couch in the living room, tugging at the short blue dress I had squeezed into. I grabbed my phone to check the time. He was fifteen minutes late. I had hoped he’d be here in time so we could leave before anyone came downstairs. This was the only tactic I could think of to avoid Michael.Fortunately for me, Beatrice had been able to find a man willing to go out on a date with me—on such short notice. It was George—the medical doctor she’d tried to pair me with last year, but nothing had come of it. Then Michael happened.The doctor had barely been on dates due to his busy schedule, but he jumped at the opportunity. Maybe he was just what I needed to scare Michael off. He was forty-five and much more mature than Michael. Seeing me with a man older than him would definitely make him back off.“Going somewhere?” Michael asked, approaching me.Gosh! Even the way he walked was alluring—like an infallible god. I stared at him as he sat next to me, and my body went tense.
