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 heels struck the polished floor like a metronome set to an impossible tempo. Each sharp click echoed through the corridor as she powered ahead, her stride unforgiving and relentless. I found myself half-jogging to keep pace, my own footsteps creating a scattered rhythm behind her deliberate march past the row of glass-paneled offices.


"Mr. Spike will be here any minute, and we cannot afford to keep him waiting," she declared without breaking stride or bothering to look back at me. Her voice carried that familiar tension it always held whenever his name came up. "He needs something from his office, and you will be the one to deliver it to him personally."
