“Don’t leave me again, Rita.”
Philip wrapped both arms around her leg, dropping to his knees before her.
The sight was almost surreal.
This was Philip Armstrong, the man who could make an entire room fall silent with a single look. The man everyone feared, respected, and obeyed.
Yet now, he was on his knees before the woman he had once cast aside.
“I’ll die if you leave me a second time.” His voice cracked as tears slipped down his face. “Rita, I can’t live without you.”
For a moment, the powerful billionaire disappeared, leaving behind only a broken man desperately clinging to the woman he had lost.
Rita looked down at his hands wrapped around her leg.
Her expression remained cold.
Then she slowly smirked.
“Ex-husband,” she said, her voice dripping with disdain. “You had your chance.”
She pulled her leg free from his grasp.
“You can’t have me back.”
---
Philip Armstrong had everything.
Power. Wealth. Status.
And for three years, he had a woman who loved him with everything she had.
He never chose her.
Until she disappeared.
Now Rita is back, but she is no longer the woman who waited patiently for his love. She is colder. Stronger. Guarded. And living a life Philip knows nothing about.
Worst of all, she is keeping a secret.
A secret that could destroy everything he thought he knew about the years they spent apart.
Philip broke Rita once, believing he had no choice.
Now he will tear apart everything he built
to earn back the woman he never
deserved.
But Rita isn't waiting for him anymore.
And this time, Philip isn't the one who gets to decide whether they have a future.
