For five years, Emily Carter was married to Xavier Sterling, the powerful CEO of the Sterling Group. Their marriage was nothing more than a business alliance between two influential families, but somewhere along the way, Emily fell hopelessly in love with her cold-hearted husband.
On Valentine's Day, she walks into a restaurant carrying the happiest news of her life, a pregnancy report she plans to surprise Xavier with.
Instead, she is greeted by his lawyer, and divorce papers.
His reason?
He has waited five years for an heir.
Heartbroken, Emily returns home only to find Xavier in bed with another woman, one who is already pregnant with the child he always wanted.
Without revealing her own pregnancy, Emily signs the divorce papers, disappears from his life, and gives birth to twins in secret.
Six years later, she returns, but not as the abandoned ex-wife everyone once pitied, but as the founder of a world-renowned luxury brand.
Now Xavier wants his children.
But winning them means facing the woman he shattered.
Will Xavier prove he deserves a second chance, or has he lost Emily forever?
