“Don’t fall in love with me, Keona. Take it from me, you’ll regret it.”
“And if you fall for me?”
“Then God help me, Keona, because I’ll burn the world down before I ever let you go…”

Everyone envied Keona Cromwell.
After all, she was married to Hardin Cromwell, the youngest trillionaire in the country and CEO of Cromwell Holdings.
To the outside world, she was the luckiest woman alive with a beautiful home, a handsome husband, and an adorable daughter.
But only Keona knew the truth.
For six years, Hardin had never celebrated her birthday. He never remembered their anniversary. He never defended her against his verbally abusive family. Even worse, he spent more time with his childhood sweetheart than his own wife.
But still, she stayed. She hoped for a change.
Then one heartbreaking moment changed everything.
Her own daughter reached for Hardin’s childhood sweetheart and called her, “mommy.”
That single word was enough to destroy the last piece of Keona’s heart. She served Hardin divorce papers, determined to walk away with her dignity intact.
Everyone believed Hardin did not care. After all, he only tolerated Keona. He never loved her.
But the moment she disappeared, he quietly ordered;
“Double my wife’s security. Anyone who dares to hurt her answers to me.”
As Keona rebuilds her life, Hardin discovers that the woman he treated like a nuisance is the one person who ever truly loved him.
Now the cold billionaire who never begged anyone only has one goal: to make his ex-wife fall in love with him again.
Too bad Keona has already stopped looking back.
