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.

For five years, Violette was his obedient "pet," enduring relentless humiliation only because Maddox’s face reminded her of Cristian, the man she truly loved who was presumed dead. When Maddox forces her to sign divorce papers and subjects her to a night of horrific abuse—feeding her parents' ashes to a dog—Violette finally breaks. But as she wanders the streets, broken and barefoot, a black Bentley screeches to a halt. Cristian is back from the dead, and he is ready to burn Maddox’s empire to the ground.

They don't know she secretly patented the ultimate formula under a pseudonym—and she's about to bankrupt them all.

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.
