THE WIFE HE THREW AWAY: My ex-husband's regret
*If I become extraordinary enough, maybe he will finally love me.*
Evelina Calder spent two years trying to earn her husband’s love.
She became the perfect wife. Quiet. Loyal. Invisible.
While secretly working nights on the architectural project she believed would finally make Julian Sterling proud enough to claim her publicly, Evelina held onto that desperate hope.
But on the night of their second anniversary, Julian walks into her studio, drops divorce papers over her life’s work, and tells her he’s marrying another woman instead.
Aria Vance.
Beautiful. Powerful. Everything Evelina was trying to become.
Humiliated and heartbroken, Evelina signs the divorce papers and disappears from the Sterling world carrying a secret Julian never knew about:
She’s pregnant with his child.
While Julian and Aria become the most celebrated couple in the city, Evelina struggles alone, determined to rebuild her life without anyone’s pity. But when she wins the world’s most prestigious architecture prize and becomes the youngest woman in history to claim the five-hundred-million-dollar award, the quiet wife Julian discarded suddenly becomes the woman everyone wants.
Especially his older brother.
Dominic Sterling sees Evelina long before the rest of the world does. He sees the brilliance beneath her silence, the strength beneath her pain, and the woman Julian failed to value until it was too late.
Now Julian wants her back.
But the wife he abandoned is gone.
And the woman who rose from the ruins may never belong to him again.
