“Klein you…” My voice catches in my throat as I attempt to speak again. I shut my eyes close, let out a heavy exhale before prying my eyes open again to continue. “Are you having an affair?” I ask, my voice raspy and watch his eyebrows nearly fly off his face from sheer shock and mortification. His countenance morphs into a bewildered expression and I once more, regret ever opening my mouth. “What if I am? Are you going to ask for a divorce?” I stare at him, silent and unmoving, with my heart threatening to hop out of my chest. When he realizes that I have no response to his question, he gives me a reproachful head shake, while sighing like I absolutely exasperate him and says: “I didn’t think so. You can think whatever you want about what’s going on between Jasmine and I. I don’t care.” ... Our marriage was a business alliance. The perfect marriage in the eyes of the public, but a complete sham in reality. He said affection is the one thing I will never get from him and I learned not to crave it. I was the perfect trophy wife... until the kiss. It changed everything.

After reuniting with my birth family, my wealthy biological father tossed me a black card and laid down one rule: I could spend as much as I wanted, but I was never to call him Dad—that title belonged only to his adoptive daughter. Clutching the black card, I cautiously bought myself a two-dollar-fifty ice cream cone. Just as I was happily licking the sweet ice cream, the adoptive daughter dropped to her knees before me. "Alice, are you mocking me because I can't even afford something that costs two-fifty in the future?" My brother immediately slapped me twice. "You have money now, but you can't split love. Natalie is my one and only sister!" Then my father splashed boiling water onto my face. "No disgraceful wretch deserves to be a Gervais." To punish me, they sent me off to Rimala, forced to work as a child laborer in the mines. Ten years later, I walked into a grand banquet hall with an ice cream in hand and came face-to-face with my brother, Ansel Gervais, dressed in a hand-tailored suit. "All these years and you're still a disgrace," he sneered, but I couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. My dad's waiting for me—and if I'm any later, the ice cream's going to melt." He looked down at me with contempt. "Dad? Who gave you permission to call him that? Natalie will forever be the only Gervais girl—no one can take that away from her!" I rolled my eyes. Who said I was talking about that cheap excuse for a father? I was talking about my adoptive father—the oil tycoon with an incurable sweet tooth. I was in a hurry to let him taste some ice cream.

Excerpt "Lily, I never stopped thinking about you, you were always on my mind" I heard Ryan say as he stood behind me. I felt the hardness of his crotch as he pressed himself to me.

Ava Morgan has one rule—never mix emotions with ambition. Focused, disciplined, and determined to build a life on her own terms, Ava has no interest in powerful men or complicated relationships. So when a dangerously confident billionaire approaches her at a high-profile event and asks her out, she does what she does best— She rejects him. Coldly. Firmly. Without hesitation. What she doesn’t expect is to walk into her new job days later… and come face to face with the same man. Ethan Blackwood. Her new boss. Powerful, calculating, and always one step ahead, Ethan is not a man used to rejection—and he certainly hasn’t forgotten hers. But instead of retaliation, he does something far more unsettling— He watches her. Challenges her. Pushes her. And slowly begins to blur every boundary Ava tries to set. As rumors spread and tension builds, Ava finds herself trapped in a dangerous game where every glance feels intentional, every word carries weight, and every moment threatens to expose what she refuses to admit. Because beneath her control lies something far more fragile— Attraction. Fear. And a past she’s worked hard to bury. But Ethan has his own secrets. And as power shifts, trust fractures, and hidden truths begin to surface, Ava is forced to confront a question she can no longer avoid: What happens when the man you refused becomes the one who sees right through you? And worse— What if walking away is no longer an option?
