Vivian Clarke was never supposed to fall this far. Not after Derek Blackwell—the man she loved—betrayed her and chose another woman. Not after her family turned their backs on her. And definitely not after losing the child she never got the chance to tell him about. Because while Derek was planning his marriage with someone else, Vivian was carrying his baby. And then she lost it. With her mother dying, her inheritance under threat, and her future hanging, she did the unthinkable. She ended up in the arms of Ethan Blackwell. Derek's uncle. Cold, powerful, and dangerously unreadable, Ethan is a man no one dares to challenge. A man who doesn't believe in love, loyalty, or second chances.

What begins as a calculated arrangement between a desperate woman and a ruthless billionaire soon spirals into something far more dangerous. Because Ethan doesn't share control… and Vivian refuses to be broken. But they aren't alone in this game. Derek, consumed by pride and jealousy, refuses to let her go. Richard, her cold and calculating father, holds the power to destroy her future. Sandra and Megan, the perfect replacements, are ready to erase her completely. And the hidden secret from the past threatens to destroy everything she has built with Ethan. Because some betrayals cost more than love. And when the truth about Vivian's lost child, Sandra's deception and Helen's secret finally surfaced, everyone was forced to choose between family and power. In a world where power is everything and love is a weakness… Vivian and Ethan must decide: Is this just a deal… Or the beginning of something neither of them can survive?
