Bella was a teenager when her parents died in a plane crash. Afterward, she was taken in by the Hayes family, her parents’ close friends, who wanted to raise her as their own because of the strong relationship both families had maintained while her parents were alive.

The night before our wedding, Desmond Arlington got jumped out of nowhere. By the time I made it to the hospital, he stared at me like I was a total stranger. Doctor said it was memory loss—some brain rattle from the hit. Temporary, supposedly. So I went full nostalgia tour, dragging him back to all our spots, hoping something would click. Then one day at the hospital, I caught him running his mouth with his buddy. "Rhea's trying so hard. Doesn't that do anything for you?" "Do what? I'm over it. Same spots, same girl. The new ones are way more fun." "So why marry her? Just call it off and live your life." He snapped, "Shut up. I LOVE Rhea. I'd never bail on the wedding. I'm just... pushing it back a bit." I looked down at the test results—zero issues. Everything normal. And that's when it hit me: you can't help a faker.

When Jason Morrison married Bella, it was nothing more than a promise made to a dying mother. A contract. Nothing else. For three years Bella loved him quietly and completely, asking for nothing in return. Then his first love came back and everything changed. He grew cold. Distant. And when he finally looked at his wife, all he saw was someone in the way. So Bella left. She walked out with a suitcase, a secret she would never tell him, and two heartbeats growing inside her that only she knew about. She was done being invisible. Done being the woman standing quietly in the background of someone else's love story. What Jason didn't know was that the woman he had dismissed as pathetic was never who he thought she was. She was the girl from the orphanage. The one he had pressed a silver ring into the palm of and promised to come back for. And she was the missing heiress that one of the most powerful families in the country had been searching for over twenty years. And by the time Jason Morrison finally remembers everything, Bella has already become someone he was never worthy of losing. The question is whether she will give him the chance to prove he is worthy of getting her back.

My husband Preston smashed up the solo art show I'd spent three years building for Vivian, the poor girl we had sponsored through college. "Chloe! What the hell did you send Vivian?!" "She read your goddamn text and suffered a depressive episode! She nearly jumped off the rooftop!" I looked at his furious face and the whole thing struck me as absurd. "Preston. What exactly did I send? I told her that today was the opening of my show and asked her not to call you during it." "She's sick! Why do you have to make every little thing a fight! If anything happens to her because of you — I'll never forgive you." With that, he didn't even glance at me. He turned and bolted back out into the storm. I didn't cry. I didn't even have the energy to be furious. I turned to leave, but in the rain, I ran into Rowan—a classmate from college. He used to be the most popular guy at our school — sweet and hot. But now he was severely injured. The torrential rain had soaked his shirt, revealing his perfect abs beneath. Without hesitation, I took him back to my apartment. Preston showed up pounding on the door, eyes red with rage. "Chloe — I'm gone for an hour and you drag some guy off the street into our bed?" I sneered and stepped in front of Rowan. "If you can play free therapist to some other woman, why can't I try being a philanthropist?"
