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.


"You have a habit of showing up at my door without warning," Camilla said, her stance relaxed against the doorframe but her arms folded across her chest in a gesture that spoke volumes.


I paused, considering my response carefully. I couldn't appear reckless or thoughtless, yet I needed to project confidence. "Actually, I did mention coming over to continue our office discussion," I replied, hoping to redirect her complaint while emphasizing that this wasn't a random visit.


Camilla's head cocked to one side, skepticism written clearly across her features. "That was days ago," she pointed out, frustration threading through her voice. "You said you'd come that same evening." The way she said it suggested she was more irritated by my failure to appear then than by my unexpected arrival now.
