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.


The manager's eyes followed my gaze, her head turning with practiced precision as she surveyed the room. Recognition dawned on her face within seconds.


"Ah, Kira," she said with casual authority, as though discussing the weather. "My personal assistant. And it appears she's heading our way."


Still, a part of me felt a surge of satisfaction. Finally, an opportunity to confront her about her inexcusable behavior during our last encounter. Generally, I avoid pointless confrontations. Most people drain my energy, and frankly, they rarely warrant the effort required to engage with them. But Kira had managed something different.


She had earned my attention through sheer audacity.
