Mais elle ne tarde pas à séduire involontairement son fils également. Le fait de jongler si habilement entre le père et le fils lui donne la confiance, l'argent et le pouvoir nécessaires pour se venger de la femme qui a déclenché tout cela. Du moins, jusqu'à ce que tout tourne au désastre...

She married him because of a contract, not love. He stayed because it was convenient, not because he cared. For three years, she played the perfect wife- silent, patient, invisible, while his heart belonged to someone else. When the woman he truly loved returned, divorce was the only thing he offered her. Broken but not weak, she signed the papers and walked away, determined to rebuild her life and reclaim the version of herself she lost in that marriage. But when she finally learns how to live without him, he realizes his biggest mistake was letting her go. Now regret follows him everywhere. The woman he once ignored is no longer waiting. And love is no longer guaranteed. In a marriage that began with a contract and ended in divorce, can love find its way back—or is this second chance already too late?
