James Brando

I’m pregnant, James. I’m carrying your child.” He and my best friend laughed, looking at me like I was a joke. “Pregnant?” he scoffed. “With whose baby?” My voice trembled. “It’s yours, James. You know it is.” He pulled her close, his tone full of disgust. “Anna, you’re nothing. The only woman worthy of carrying my child is standing right beside me.” That night, the rain washed away my last hope. James stole everything: my research, my savings, and my heart. He left me bleeding in the rain while my so-called best friend mocked me from his side. I thought that was the end of my story. It was only the beginning. The woman he betrayed is gone. The one coming back is his worst nightmare: the hidden heiress of a global conglomerate, armed with power, wealth, and a burning desire for revenge. I’ll take everything from him, starting with his pride. As for my best friend who betrayed me, I'll destroy her until there's nothing left. The clock is ticking.

Alessandra James gave up her name, her fortune, and her family for one man. Jaime King. For five years, she built his company, raised his children like her own and loved him without question. Just when life feels perfect, the woman who once abandoned him returns...and Alessandra discovers that Jaime has been speaking to his ex-wife behind her back. Shattered and betrayed, Alessandra walks away only to find herself drawn back into her family's world. But faking a new relationship was never supposed to stir up real danger or leave her wanting a man who was never supposed to mean anything. Now Jaime wants her back. He's desperate. Jealous. And regretful. But this time, Alessandra isn't the woman he left behind. This isn't just a love story. It's betrayal, obsession, and the kind of love that could burn both of them alive.
