But as a businessman. A stranger. Someone who pretended to see me for who I was: a rising designer with passion and drive. Not knowing his agenda was to hand my designs over to his nephew behind my back. Not just any nephew. Ethan. My husband. The same man who was supposed to protect me, love me, and support me.

Serena had made a bet with me, once: Sebastian would never really love me, and the day I figured that out, I'd step aside. I'd never believed he'd married me out of spite. So I'd taken the bet. Life had slapped that confidence out of my mouth. He'd married me to get under Serena's skin. On our wedding night, I'd waited in the bridal suite in my dress. He'd waited at the arrivals gate at JFK. Two people. Each one up all night, waiting for somebody else. Six years of a marriage in name only had put me into severe depression. Then came the drunken night that produced a pregnancy, and the mood swings I couldn't control, and my grandfather's death — the one person in this world who'd actually lov

"A man of principle, then. There's no shame in that." "There is to some people. To my husband's mother, I was just a poor farmer's daughter. Not suitable for her son." "Then she's a fool." He paused. "My own wife—I don't even know much about her family background. We barely spoke that night. But whatever her circumstances, she deserved better than to be abandoned." Alessia felt tears prick her eyes. "You're a good man."

"Let's review the facts, Mr. CEO. Your wife’s family spent three years treating her like dirt. They stole her inheritance. They talked down to her at every public dinner. And you? You were too busy looking at your stock market reports. You were too busy listening to your father, George Vane, talk about corporate alliances. You let her suffer in total silence because you were too blind to see what was right in front of your face." Every single word Darius said was like a whip hitting Elias’s pride. I could see the muscles in Elias’s neck twitching. He wanted to hit him. He wanted to destroy him. But Darius wasn't finished. "And then, when her crazy family tried to drug her and lock her away i

Thaddeus looked at Vincent, his eyes sharp with disappointment: “The day you ran out on your wedding for Lena, Seraphina married Leo right there. Every one of the Five Families, the entire underworld, knows this. How could you be the only one who didn’t?” Vincent went rigid, his mind going completely blank. After he’d run off with Lena three years prior, terrified the family would track them down and drag them back, the two of them had cut off all contact with New York entirely, fleeing to South America where they squandered his money and lived it up across country after country. It was only when his accounts were frozen months prior, leaving them completely broke, that they’d scraped togeth

"Her ex-husband was abusive. He beat her constantly, caused her to miscarry twice, and he nearly killed her before she finally got away. "After she married Matt, his brother kicked him out, gave him no land, and cut him off completely. "Luckily, the mine was hiring. Vanessa came with Matt to work here. They worked overtime, saved every dollar, and lived frugally. Slowly, things improved. "They bought a secondhand apartment from the mine and were just planning to have a child when the apocalypse hit. "At first, Matt didn't want her to keep the baby, but once it happened, there was no turning back. Raymond talked it over with everyone, and they all decided to help. Everyone was looking forward

He gave a faint nod. Caleb watched the two of them, a chill running down his spine. He shouted, “We need to deal with the immediate crisis! Where do you think we have time to go find her child and use it against her? Our stock hit rock bottom today—we’ve already lost half our fortune! One more crash, and we’ll be bankrupt, just like the Lowe family!” Evelyn clenched her fists tightly, looking at her furious husband, emotions churning inside her. She had married Caleb for his ambition. Back then, he was full of drive, bold and unstoppable—that spirit had captivated her.

“By the way, I’m really surprised that the smartest guy back in college never figured out that the child he adored so much wasn’t even his biological son.” “What?” I looked at her in disbelief. Clark... isn’t my son? “It’s obvious, really. He doesn’t even have a single one of your features. Can you believe it? You abandoned your real child and wife for me? You loved me too much—and I thank you for that. Because I lived a luxurious life. Me and my son, while your own daughter and ex-wife, who had no one else, begged in the streets.” My heart was filled with pain and anger. But I had no one else to blame but myself. I caused this. Everything happening to me is the consequence of my poor decisi

When I turned twenty-two, he lit up the sky with fireworks and drones, spelling out his romantic confession. Naturally, I fell head-over-heels for the man who was both domineering and tender.

He couldn’t accept that kind of fall from power. He became irritable and volatile, sinking into self-destructive urges and suicidal thoughts. In less than three months, he had tormented himself into a shell of who he once was.
