Chapter 1

Evelyn's POVThe pregnancy report was crumpled in my hand. My palms were sweaty, but I didn't care. I was staring at the word ‘Positive’ in complete awe. After three years of marriage, three years of being the invisible, "perfect" wife, I finally had the one thing that I thought would make Ryan love me.I bolted up the stairs, my heart thumping against my ribs. I was so happy I could scream. I didn't even knock. I wanted to surprise him. I wanted to see that cold, handsome face of his break into a smile for the first time.Pushing open the bedroom door, I called out:"Ryan! I have the best news—"The words died in my throat. The scent of a woman’s perfume hit me, a scent I didn’t own. It smelled expensive, floral, and suffocating. My eyes locked onto the bed. Our bed. But Ryan wasn't alone. He was tangled in the sheets with a woman, a woman whose face I recognized. It was Daphne. His first love. The woman he had never truly forgotten.I stood there like a statue. I felt like someon

Chapter 2

Evelyn's POV"But I have nowhere to go," I whispered, my voice trembling so hard it barely sounded like mine. My mind raced and my heart hammered in my chest. This wasn’t happening. It couldn’t be. "Ryan, please. Don't do this. Don't divorce me."I was desperate, drowning in a sea of my own fear. It was only then that I remembered the paper. The small, crinkled piece of hope that was supposed to be my salvation. I scrambled toward the living room, my hands shaking as I grabbed the report from my bag. I rushed back to him, thrusting it into his view."Look!" I cried, my eyes searching his face for a flicker of something, anything. "Ryan, look. I’m pregnant. We’re having a baby. You can’t leave me now. Not like this. We have to make this work. For the sake of our child. I’m begging you. Please."I held my breath, waiting for the shock to turn into warmth. I waited for him to take the paper, to pull me into his arms, to tell me he was sorry.Instead, Ryan’s brow furrowed into a deep, cli

Chapter 3

Evelyn's POVMy last shred of hope shattered into a million pieces."Ryan, please... just one more chance," I begged, my voice cracking. "I can prove my worth. I’ll do more. You’ll see. You can’t kick me out like this. If I leave, I have nowhere to go. This house... it’s the only place I have left."I thought of my foster parents and a cold shiver ran down my spine. If I showed up on their doorstep, they wouldn't just turn me away, they would destroy me. My foster father had a temper that left scars, and he had "sold" me into this marriage. Ryan didn’t love but at least he gave me a home. If I went back to my foster parents’ house, I might not survive the night.But Ryan didn't care. My pleas fell on deaf ears. He just stood there, tall and unmoving, watching me crumble. "I don’t care where you go, Evelyn," he said. “That’s not my concern anymore.” His voice was steady, chillingly calm. "I am marrying Daphne. To do that, I need you gone. It’s that simple."He pushed the pen further t

Chapter 4

Evelyn’s POVWhen I finally opened my eyes, the smell of disinfectant stung my nose. I was in a hospital."You’re lucky," the nurse said, checking my IV drip. "Someone found you collapsed on the side of the road two blocks away from the Harrington estate."My heart went cold. Two blocks away? Daphne was clever. She didn't want my body found near her doorstep, so she had her men dump me like a bag of trash in a different neighborhood to protect the Harrington name.Suddenly, I remembered the liquid. The pain. The vial.I sat up so fast my head spun, my hands flying to my stomach. It felt flat. Empty. I grabbed the arm of a passing doctor, my eyes wide with terror."The baby... please, tell me. Is it gone? Did I lose the baby?"The doctor looked at me with pity and gently patted my hand. "The fetus is still there. It’s a miracle, considering the toxins found in your system. But the situation is very unstable. You’ve suffered severe trauma. You need absolute bed rest and medication, or y

Chapter 5

Evelyn’s POVI collapsed into the corner of the holding cell, the smell of damp concrete and cold iron filling my nose. I was shivering, but not from the cold. I was shivering from fear. If I was convicted of corporate espionage, I’d be facing years in prison. How could I protect my baby in a place like this? How could I survive?"You really are a pathetic little thing, aren’t you," a sharp voice echoed.Before I could react, someone grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked my head back. I gasped, my eyes watering from the pain as I was forced to look up. A woman stood over me, her face twisted in a cruel smirk.She looked familiar. I’d seen her in society magazines, always trailing behind Daphne like a loyal shadow. She was one of Daphne’s friends."So, you’re the little bitch who stole Daphne’s man? Hope you enjoyed your three years with him. Because it’s over now," she hissed, her grip tightening. "Did you really think a plain, pathetic thing like you could keep a Harrington?"She g

Chapter 6

Eight Years LaterEvelyn’s POVThe massive iron gates of the estate slid open silently. A line of four black armored SUVs sat idling on the gravel driveway, their engines humming like restless beasts.I stepped out of the front doors, the midday sun catching the diamonds on my wrist. I adjusted my oversized black sunglasses, my silk trench coat billowing in the breeze. Behind me, a small army of uniformed maids and valets hurried to load the last of the designer trunks into the lead vehicle. My head of security, Lucas, stood by the car door, his hand resting near his holster as he scanned the perimeter."Mommy, I’m sleepy," a small, sweet voice chirped.I looked down and smiled, my heart softening instantly. My daughter, Ivy, stood there looking like a literal princess in her custom-made pink lace dress. She was rubbing her eyes, letting out a tiny yawn."I know, my angel," I said, taking her small hand in mine."I don't like long trips," Ivy pouted, her lower lip trembling slightly.

Chapter 7

Ryan’s POVI rubbed my temples, the glow of the computer screen burning my tired eyes. The acquisition of Apex Med was supposed to be a done deal. For eighteen months, I had cleared every hurdle, and out-maneuvered every local competitor.But then, out of nowhere, a shadow had fallen over the deal.Ivy-Gen Global.I looked at the folder on my desk in my home office. Three years ago, this company appeared out of thin air and systematically monopolized the medical supply chains across Europe and Asia. Now, they were stepping into my territory. I knew nothing about their CEO. No photos, no interviews, no public appearances. Only a reputation for being ruthless and impossibly wealthy."If they keep driving up the price, we’re going to have to dip into the emergency reserves," I muttered to myself. I was curious. Who was this person that had the balls to challenge the Harrington Group on home soil?The door to my study creaked open. Daphne walked in, smelling of expensive lilies. She leane

Chapter 8

Evelyn's POV I stood there, hand extended, watching the color drain from Ryan’s face.Eight years. I’d spent hundreds, if not thousands of nights imagining this very moment. I thought I would be angry. Emotional. I thought my hands would shake with the urge to scream at him for the child he tried to discard and the life he tried to erase.But as I looked at him, all I felt was a cold, refreshing sense of peace.Ryan looked like he had seen a ghost. Beside him, Daphne looked even worse. Her face was twisted, her expression sour, as if she’d just swallowed something rancid.A triumphant smile tugged at my lips. Yes, the woman they had kicked to the curb was now the powerful titan standing over their crumbling empire.Ryan’s hand reached out, moving as if in a trance to meet mine. Just as his fingers were about to touch my skin though, Daphne snapped. She lunged forward, grabbing his arm and yanking him back with a force that nearly made him stumble."What are you doing, Ryan!" she hiss

Chapter 9

Ryan’s POV"Are you out of your mind? Everyone is watching!" Mark hissed into my ear, his grip on my shoulder tight as he practically dragged me away from the curb. "That’s your ex-wife, Ryan. Think about the headlines tomorrow!"I didn't fight him. I let him lead me to the car, my body moving on autopilot. My mind, usually a precision-tuned machine capable of handling any crisis, was spinning out of control.The woman in the silver dress, the powerful, radiant CEO of Ivy-Gen Global, was the same woman I had kicked out of my house eight years ago. It didn't make sense. It was impossible. How did a girl with nothing become a billionaire?Mark snapped his fingers in front of my face once we were inside the car. "Hey! Harrington! Did you even hear a word I just said?"I blinked, the blur of the city lights finally coming into focus. "What?""I said, we need a plan," Mark sighed, leaning back against the leather seat. "The press is going to have a field day with this.""I want you to fin

Chapter 10

Evelyn’s POVThe smell of pancakes and sizzling bacon wafted through the air, pulling me from sleep. I walked downstairs to find Ivy already at the dining table, her little cheeks stuffed with food. She looked like a happy squirrel."Morning, Mommy!" Ivy chirped, her eyes bright. "Mila’s pancakes are the best in the whole wide world!"Mila looked up from the stove, a warm smile on her face. "Oh, she’s just saying that so I’ll give her extra chocolate chips,” Mila winked at Ivy. Mila was more than a chef to us. She’d won a national culinary competition. That competition propelled her to a rising star in a five-star kitchen. But she’d had a falling out with her bosses. They tried to pull a fast one on her and severely underpay her. So that’s when I stepped in. I didn't just buy her contract; I gave her a home. Now, she only cooked for the people she loved—us."She speaks the truth, Mila,” I said with a bright smile. “Your pancakes really are the best. Extra chocolate chips or not.” Mil
