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.


Everything had been planned down to the last detail. Tom, Delia, and I had gone over the strategy multiple times, and right now I was handling the smaller assignments while waiting for the perfect moment to strike with the bigger moves. In this dangerous game, timing meant everything. One misstep could destroy months of careful preparation.


I had to execute this flawlessly. If anyone discovered I was secretly passing information from Spike Industries to Collin Corporation, my life would be over. Not just my career, my entire existence would be finished. Mr. Spike was notorious for his ruthless treatment of traitors. I could already picture the nightmare scenario: security dragging me out in handcuffs, my reputation destroyed across every business network in the city, and worst of all, watching Tom's carefully constructed plan crumble because of my carelessness.
