Five years ago, I left my husband a note. Three sentences. A returned bracelet. A door closing softly at 4am. He told me to get rid of our baby. I got rid of him instead. Now he’s sitting across my boardroom table in the city I built for myself, looking for the woman he married. She’s gone. What’s left is stronger.

Après le décès du frère aîné de Leo Carter, sa mère a proposé qu'il épouse Ariel Sullivan, la femme enceinte de son défunt frère. Leo a refusé. « Fawn est ma vie », a-t-il dit froidement. « Je préfère renoncer à hériter de la position de mon frère en tant que parrain plutôt que de trahir ma femme. » J'ai été profondément touchée par sa dévotion. Jusqu'au moment où j'ai accidentellement entendu une conversation entre Leo et sa mère. « L'enfant qu'Ariel porte dans son ventre est clairement le tien », a déclaré sa mère d'un ton sec. « Alors pourquoi refuses-tu de l'épouser ? » Leo a expiré une bouffée de fumée. Son regard s'est perdu au loin, indéchiffrable. « J'ai promis à Ariel que je laisserais un héritier à mon frère », a-t-il dit calmement. « Mais ça reste entre nous. Si Fawn l'apprend un jour, je suis mort. » Le visage de sa mère s'est assombri. « Et alors si elle l'apprend ? Elle ne peut même pas avoir d'enfants elle-même. Vas-tu laisser s'éteindre la lignée familiale à cause d'elle ? » Leo l'a interrompue, sa voix soudainement froide et dangereuse. « Si elle l'apprend, elle me quittera. Et je ne survivrai pas à sa perte. Si tu veux un petit-fils, alors tais-toi. » Je me suis éloignée en titubant, hébétée, et le sang dans mes veines s'est lentement glacé. Leo me comprenait mieux que personne. Il savait que dans mon monde, l'amour ne pouvait tolérer une trahison. Alors, au moment où il m'a trahie, j'ai pris ma décision. J'allais partir.

Cassandra Morgan thought her exhausting life was finally over.

The woman eyed Casandra. “Why are you so pathetic and shameless to bite something that is far from your league.” Cassandra found her phone, the first thing she saw was the text message she received from Rachel. “I sold you off. Sorry.” The man was smiling under the soft and silky duvet. His eyes still closed tight but he heard everything and felt amused by the drama. His back was facing them but his ears were clear as the sky. You awake? fucking asshole?
