After my parents dead, I was taken in by one of his closest friends—the Draycotts. Kaelen Draycott, their only son, treated me like I was family. And I, stupidly, fell for him. When I confessed, he called me sick. Evil. Disgusting. From that day on, he made my life hell. He brought women home, loud enough for me to hear everything. Just to remind me where I stood. When it came down to it, he saved his fiancée. Left me to be shot, mocked, and forgotten. I knew what he was capable of. So this time, I made the choice. I’m leaving. And knowing how much he hates me— Let my farewell be the best wedding gift he’ll ever get.

“Minsan, sa pinaka-wasak na puso, doon pa pumipili ang pagmamahal.” Akala ni Celeste ay siya na ang pakakasalan ng lalaking minahal niya ng buong puso. Pero sa harap mismo niya, ipinagpalit siya nito sa matalik niyang kaibigan. Masakit. Nakakahiya. Nakakawasak. She lost everything—her love, her trust, and herself. Pero sa gitna ng pagbagsak niya, isang lalaking hindi niya inaasahan ang dumating: Eliandro Velasquez—cold, mysterious, at isang powerful businessman na desperado ring maghanap ng mapapangasawa para sa isang kontratang kailangang masunod. Isang kasunduan. Isang papel. Isang fake marriage for 30 days. Walang puso. Walang damdamin. Walang commitments. Pero paano kung habang tumatagal, hindi na peke ang nararamdaman nila? Dahil minsan, kahit ang pusong akala mong hindi na para mahalin… May nakatakdang magmahal muli.

I was just eighteen when I mistook a business deal for a fairy tale, letting a schoolgirl crush blind me to the truth. My prince charming? He turned out to be more of a wolf in an Armani suit. Now, five years and a thousand broken pieces later, I've rebuilt myself into someone I barely recognize, a CEO, a survivor, and most importantly, a mother to my beautiful son Griffin. I thought I'd buried the naive girl who once dreamed in a garden. Apparently, the universe had other plans. My ex-husband's back, claiming he's changed and wanting a second chance. And then there's James Drake, a billionaire with scars that match my own, who makes me wonder if my heart remembers how to beat for something other than revenge. Between poisoned flowers showing up at my office and threats creeping too close to my son, I'm learning that success is the best revenge, if I can stay alive long enough to enjoy it. They say love is sweeter the second time around, but can I trust it when betrayal wore the face of love once before? One thing's certain: I'm not that naive wife anymore. And this time, I'm playing for keeps.
