He told me that he loved me,” she whimpered, her breath hitching painfully in her chest. “I believed him and I trusted him like an idiot... and yet he hurt me this way.

“Sign it.” Mabel’s fingers tightened around the pen. Four years of marriage, reduced to a single signature. “Don’t make this harder than it needs to be,” her husband, Dexter, said coldly. Beside him, another woman, the same one she once called her best friend, clung to his arm, confident and proud. “Don’t waste our time,” she added. So Mabel signed and walked away quietly, just like the obedient wife she had always been. What he didn’t know was that the woman he discarded so easily was the heiress to the very network he had spent his entire life building, the same network that decided whether his business would rise or fall.

That was the moment something inside her finally broke. Instead of begging her husband to stay, Wendy walked into the Ashwood Civil Registry and ended their marriage. She thought divorce was the end of her miserable marriage. She never expected it to become the beginning of another one. That very night, she encountered Julian Vance—the cold, powerful man who had been Nathan Hale's greatest business rival for years. Desperate to protect herself from her ex-husband's family, Wendy made an outrageous proposal. "Marry me." She expected him to agree to a temporary arrangement.

The entire elite circle waited for the marriage to collapse. But nobody expected the supposedly cold Julian Vance to become completely devoted to his new wife. When she was bullied, he protected her. When she doubted herself, he encouraged her. When she wanted to rebuild her career, he quietly removed every obstacle in her way. And when Wendy finally realized that her husband was no longer pretending, she asked: "When did this marriage stop being a deal?" Julian pulled her closer. "For you, perhaps it was a deal. For me, it became love the moment I chose you."

He looked at me like I was something rare instead of something used up. "I don't want the woman you think I need to be," I told him. He stepped closer, close enough that I forgot how to breathe. "I don't want her either. I want you. All of you." Then Damien started noticing what he threw away. "You're mine, Nora." His hand found my jaw, desperate, undone. "I was blind. Give me one more chance." Two Alphas. One woman done begging for love. "You had three years," I whispered. "Now you'll watch me choose." The war for me was only beginning, and I intended to win it on my own terms.
