Chapter 1

[Ivy]“Great news, Mrs Morgan. Your cervix has healed, and everything’s back to normal. Now you can start trying for a baby without any issues,” Dr Kline says, and I can’t hold back my happiness.“Really? That’s actually good news.” I can’t wait to tell Hunter about it. He will be so happy. I touch the file she just handed me, pressing it against my chest so I know it’s real. “Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much.”I leave the hospital and wait for Finn to bring the car around.My excitement rolls off me in waves. I can’t stop grinning.Five years. For five years, Hunter and I have been married, and for the last two years we’ve been trying for a baby. But I was told I wouldn’t be able to conceive because of an accident that happened seven years ago. It was a… messy situation.I hear a car pull up, and my smile widens even more.A car door opens, and a familiar presence fills my nostrils.“Hey, Ivy, ready to go home?” Finn, my personal driver—my best friend and brother from another mot

Chapter 2

[Ivy]"Hunter?" I call again.But all I hear are the sounds of two people gasping for breath.There's also this scent... a mix of sweat and sex that I've only ever experienced with him—but it's different this time. Tainted by someone else.People often mistake blindness for darkness.They think of it as an absence—a void where light should be. But I've learned it's the opposite. When you can't see, your other senses become stars, each burning brighter with every year of sightlessness. And today, those constellations are screaming a message I've never wanted to hear.I stand at the threshold, my fingers gripping the doorframe, knuckles white."Ivy?" Hunter's voice is breathy and laced with a shock that doesn't quite conceal the panic. "You're home," he says, as if he's glad—but he can't fool me. Not today. "Why didn't you tell me you were on your way?"I hear the rustle of clothing, the whispered curses, the frantic sounds of two people caught in the act.“You shouldn’t come upstairs a

Chapter 3

[Ivy]I return to my room to grab my phone when I pause right outside Hunter’s office.He seems to be talking to someone and probably forgot that the door needs fixing. Unless we lock it from the inside, it keeps peeling itself open.“My team and I tried to contact you after the recent scans of Mrs. Morgan, but you didn’t seem to respond.”That voice… doesn’t it belong to the eye specialist Hunter called from abroad for a second opinion?What is he doing here?“Yes,” Hunter says, sounding serious. “I have been busy. So, what’s the verdict?”“Well,” Dr. Keith says, “that’s what I wanted to talk to you about. Actually, my team and I have found a way to reverse the effects of the burns on Ivy’s retinas. It took us a while, but we did it.”I gasp, my feet frozen to the spot.“Ivy… can be healed?”“It won’t be easy,” Dr. Keith continues. “The procedure is invasive, and it will take several months for her to recover fully. But yes, we believe there’s a strong chance her vision could be rest

Chapter 4

"Okay," Finn says, before I feel him walking away.At the mall, we grab a coffee first. And while Dahlia chats away, mercilessly dumping all the office gossip on me, I feel the warmth of someone's gaze on my skin.It isn't subtle. Not obvious either. I could be wrong, for all I know.But the way the back of my neck prickles—exactly the way it did when I met... him—I can't help but turn my head in that direction."Is there someone I know?" I ask, cutting off her rambling.Dahlia pauses, probably checking."Well, there's definitely someone," she says, and I hear her shift. "But not anyone I know. Want me to go ask?"I shake my head. "No. No need."It can't be him. He hasn't been in the country for the last five years.I must be mistaken.I have to be. ******"Oh, this one's good. Really good," reads Dahlia, possibly from the text sent by Hunter after she showed him the picture of the fifth dress I tried on."He likes it," she mumbles, before I sense her presence right next to me. "I li

Chapter 5

[Ivy]“Dr. Keith,” Grandpa repeats, as if digging through his memory for the man. “Wait. Isn’t he the same doctor I had my assistant send the contact details to Hunter a year ago?”“A year?” That’s new to me. As far as I know, it was only last month that Hunter introduced me to him. “Wait. You sent the doctor’s details to Hunter? But I thought you weren’t on talking terms with him?”“I am not,” Grandpa huffs. “But when I heard about Dr. Keith and his impressive work from some of our clients, I knew I had to reach out to him. That’s when I told him about your case and asked my assistant to send the details to Hunter as well, so he could reach out on his own and have you tested for the treatment. Though I didn’t expect him to take a whole damn year.”So, that’s the reason Dr. Keith sounded so curious when Hunter hesitated to consent to the treatment. With two powerful people pursuing him for the same patient, he must not have expected to be kept waiting.Well, that explains everything.

Chapter 6

[Ivy]“Can we…do it tonight?” he asks, almost innocently, trailing soft and delicate kisses down my shoulders.My body tenses at the thought of having sex with him, my brain instantly scrambling for an excuse.“Maybe not tonight,” I say, my jaw clenched tight, fist even tighter. “I’m exhausted.”“You sure?” he whispers, probably pouting like a kid who isn’t going to get the candy he so badly wanted. “You know I don’t mind doing all the work.”My skin crawls. Every inch of me tenses, a wave of revulsion rising so fast it almost chokes me. I used to crave his touch. Now, the thought of it makes me feel disgusting.It’s his way to remind me how much effort he has been putting into me, how much of a dedicated and devoted husband he has been. Oh, how wrong I was.“I know, Hunter,” I say, trying very hard to keep this feeling of disgust at bay. “But I really am tired today. The shopping was…draining.”“Of course. My apologies.” He immediately backs away, the bed dipping as he shifts, cr

Chapter 7

[Ivy]When we started following the tracker on Finn’s phone, I wasn’t sure what to expect.But when it stopped moving right outside Luxe Meridian—the condominium where I used to live before Hunter came into my life—something in my stomach twisted.Memories rushed through my head like a movie on fast forward.I saw my mom’s face. Her hands splattered with paint. Her bright smile. Her eyes full of life.For a second, I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t move. Couldn’t do anything but clench my fingers tight—so tight my short nails bit into my flesh.And I heard Finn gasp.“What the hell, Ivy?” he growled.I felt his warm touch slide along my arm until he held my hand in his, probably staring at the mess I’d just made.“Are you crazy or something? Why would you do that?”But I’m sure the question is rhetorical, because there’s no way he’s expecting me to answer.“It’s nothing.” I pull my hand away. And while he hesitates to let go, he doesn’t force it either.And I’m not lying. I don’t know how

Chapter 8

[Ivy]Grandpa’s office has always been my favourite place since childhood.When Mom and Dad used to go to work, they would sometimes drop me off here because Grandpa never minded having me around.And also because he hated the idea of a stranger taking care of me. He didn’t trust them—not as much as he trusted the people he allowed to stay around.Maybe that’s why, when his assistant—Jonathan Jersey, a man in his early thirties (I’m not entirely sure, he just sounds that way)—leads Finn and me to his office on the top floor of the GrandMax building, a wave of nostalgia hits me hard.So hard that, for a second, I almost forget why I’m here.The familiar scent of old wood and polished leather greets me first, followed by the low hum of city traffic and the soft rustle of papers being shuffled.I take a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves.“Thank you, Jonathan,” I say. “You can leave now.”“Are you sure, Miss Ivy? Mr. Maxford is in a meeting right now. He might not be available for a

Chapter 9

“Alright,” Grandpa says, his voice full of determination. “If that’s what you want. I’m sure you have your reasons. And speaking of reasons, I heard you have some solid proof of Hunter’s infidelity?”“Yes,” I reply. “Finn recorded everything.”“Good. Then we’ll use that in court. We’ll make sure he pays for what he’s done.” There’s a fierce protectiveness in his voice that warms my heart. He then pulls me into his arms, hugging me tightly. “I’m so sorry you had to go through this, my child. You deserve so much better.” He kisses my forehead. “But don’t worry. I’ll make sure he pays for every single tear you’ve shed—and more.”I lean into his embrace, feeling a sense of relief wash over me.For the first time since I found out about Hunter’s betrayal, I feel like everything might actually be okay.As we pull apart, Grandpa clears his throat. “Alright. Now let’s talk about something much more important.” He slips my hand into his, his warm touch bringing a sense of reassurance. “After t

Chapter 10

[Ivy]When Finn and I reach home, Hunter still hasn’t returned.I know because Finn checked the tracker app on his phone. It showed Hunter’s car parked at the mall—probably on a shopping spree with his mistress.Not that I care.I shake my head, trying to clear my thoughts. There’s no point in dwelling on it. I need to focus on what’s important right now—getting my things together and leaving this place behind for good.I turn to Finn. “You should go and get some rest. It’s been a long day.”“Not that long,” he argues. “Besides, I don’t feel good about leaving you alone with that asshole. Who knows what he might do? He’s already shown his true colors by not letting you have the treatment. What if he tries something worse?”I appreciate his concern, but if years of experience have taught me anything, it’s that Hunter is not a violent man. Sure, he’s a liar and a cheat, but he’s not the type to physically hurt me. He doesn’t have what it takes to go that far.“I’ll be fine,” I assure hi
