"Jason," she breathed, breaking the kiss, her voice husky and needy. "Am I the only woman you love? Tell me."
He didn't stop moving, his hips grinding deeper, making her cry out. His face was flushed, eyes
dark with want. "Yes, Lila. Only you. I love only you. Not Aria. She's nothing compared to this, to us."
That was the moment my marriage died. Not when I found him in a hotel room with my sister. Not when Lila looked at me without shame in her eyes. Not even when Jason admitted he had fallen in love with her.
It was those words.
“...I love only you. Not Aria. She's nothing compared to this, to us."
I walked away from my husband with nothing but a broken heart and a family that had already chosen his side.
Then Alexander Steele entered my life. He offered me something I never expected. A marriage, not love, not romance but a deal.
He was a cold, untouchable billionaire who needed a wife for his own reasons. I needed his power for mine. So I said yes. I would use his name to rebuild my life, protect myself, and make every person who destroyed me regret the day they ever thought I was worthless.
It was very simple, I married him for just these reasons: power, protection, and revenge. I thought that was all I needed. But as my old life kept finding its way into my new one, I began to realize that my marriage to Alexander was becoming more complicated than I expected.
Because somewhere along the way, I started wanting the one thing neither of us had ever agreed to give - His heart.
But I had no idea if Alexander would ever feel the same way.
