I was devoted to Tom Collin, a man whose ambition I once admired. I gave up my career, my future, my entire identity for him. I was the perfect wife while he built his empire. But when he reached the top, I became invisible.
Then I found him with her—his college ex, the woman who’d abandoned him when he had nothing. When I confronted him, the man I married vanished, replaced by a monster whose hands left bruises on my skin.
I was finally ready to leave. But I never got the chance. He left our five-year-old daughter, Joy, alone for his mistress. And in his absence, my baby was murdered.
I buried my child, and with her, the weak woman I used to be. In a haze of grief, I let a handsome stranger hold me for one night in Italy—a single moment of oblivion.
Five years later, I live for one purpose: Revenge. Tom Collin will pay for what he did. He has no idea the woman now standing before him. But my new boss… he might. The magnetic CEO of our rival company is the stranger from that night. And he doesn’t know he’s the father of my secret daughter.


So let me understand this correctly. Gerald summoned me to his office at the crack of dawn just to inform me that he knows some mysterious truth about me. And somehow, I'm expected to read his mind and figure out what he means.


I stared at Gerald across his mahogany desk, watching him study me with those intense dark eyes like he was waiting for some grand revelation to dawn on my face.


My eyebrows drew together in confusion, a knot forming in my stomach.


What truth could he possibly be referring to? What game was he playing now?


I searched his expression for any clues, but Gerald's face remained maddeningly blank. That perfectly controlled mask he always wore, calm and collected, revealing absolutely nothing. He didn't even blink.


"Excuse me," I said finally, fighting to keep my voice level even though irritation was already bubbling up inside me. "What exactly did you just say?"
