Three years. Three years of loving Jake Morrison with every fiber of my being. Three years of supporting his dreams, celebrating his victories, and planning our future together. Tonight was supposed to be special—our anniversary dinner at Maison Laurent, the restaurant where we'd had our first date. I checked my reflection in the rearview mirror, smoothing a strand of hair behind my ear. The bouquet of white roses—his favorite—lay on the passenger seat beside me. I'd left work early to pick them up, along with a vintage watch I'd been saving for months to buy him. Jake had been working late all week on the Henderson campaign, and I wanted to surprise him, to remind him that even in the midst of his rising career at Blackstone Entertainment, we still had each other. The elevator hummed as it carried me to the fourteenth floor. The office was nearly empty at this hour, most of the staff having left for the day.

Driven to the edge, Morgan fakes her death and vanishes, determined to bury her past. While the world mourns the "dead" Luna, Morgan rebuilds herself as a legendary healer in a distant land. But when her miraculous research exposes Violet’s lies, the truth explodes. Now, a regretful Andrew is hunting for a ghost, desperate for a second chance. But Morgan is no longer a pawn. With a new, protective Alpha by her side, will she forgive the man who broke her, or let him burn in the bridges he destroyed?

My fiancé and my stepsister thought they were so clever. For months, they carried on an affair behind my back, plotting to steal the restaurant empire I built from scratch. I was supposed to be the naive, broken victim. But they forgot one crucial detail: Elise's husband is Victor Sterling. And when the ruthless billionaire came to me with undeniable proof of their betrayal, we didn't just cry. We made a dangerous, dirty pact. We will take everything from them—starting with each other.
