Chasing The Wife He Discarded
Nerissa's POV
Five years. It is remarkably precise how long it takes for a woman to die and be completely reborn.
Five years after my disappearance, the fragile, compliant placeholder wife who bled on the deck of a sinking yacht no longer existed. I stood before the floor-to-ceiling mirror of the presidential suite in the city's most exclusive hotel, adjusting the cuffs of a tailored, pearl-white blazer. The woman staring back at me was commanding, her posture straight, her eyes devoid of the desperate warmth that had once been my greatest weakness. I was Nerissa Colette Vane, acting CEO of Vane Holdings, and tonight, I was stepping back onto the battlefield.
