She thought a contract was just business.

He called it a FUCKAHOLIC contract... pleasure without promises, desire without attachment.

I was supposed to keep my distance, stay professional, and survive the mess he called “fun.” But Aec didn’t play by the rules. He was cold, dominant, and utterly irresistible,  a storm I couldn’t escape.

Then came the night that changed everything. The accident. The absence of his presence in my story. A month gone in darkness, only to wake up to a world that had moved on… and him married.

Now, our lives are tangled in ways I never imagined. His company, my career, and my heart are all on the line. Some heartbreaks don’t end in goodbye. They return colder, richer, and wearing a wedding ring.

Will I crumble under the weight of betrayal… or rise to claim my own story?

I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring in my ear, signaling the start of a new day. I groggily reached over to turn it off, feeling a sense of dread over me as I remembered what had happened the night before. I had to face Ryan today, and I still wasn't sure what to say to him.


I got out of bed and began getting ready for work, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of Ryan and Ace. Maxie's words of advice kept echoing in my head ... "Tell Ryan he's just someone from your past." Easy for her to say, but what if he didn't believe me? What if he saw right through me?


I took a deep breath and tried to push aside my doubts. I could do this. I just had to be honest with Ryan and see where things went. I finished getting ready and headed out the door, feeling a sense of determination.
