Catty
I thought walking away from Luther Benjamin in the freezing rain was the hardest thing I’d ever have to do. I looked into his innocent, trusting eyes—the boy who couldn't speak a single word, who loved me with every piece of his soul—and I shattered him on purpose. I screamed that he was a mute loser, that I never loved him, and that I was leaving him for a rich man. I pushed him into the mud and walked away with blood on my hands and a secret that would have gotten him killed. I even took his seed with me that night, secretly creating a baby girl just so a piece of him would always live inside me.
Six years later, the silent boy is gone. Luther Benjamin is back as a ruthless, terrifying business tycoon with a voice of absolute thunder—and he has returned for one reason only: to make me suffer the way I made him suffer. When he finds me serving drinks in a smoky bar, he humiliates me, forces me to my knees, and makes me his personal captive. He hates me, he despises my daughter, and he refuses to give me a single ounce of mercy as my little girl fights for her life. He thinks I betrayed him for money. He has no idea I destroyed my own life just to keep him breathing.
