On the night of their anniversary, Annabelle Whitmore planned to surprise her husband but ended up being the one shocked. Drugged and framed by her jealous stepsister, Anna woke up in another man’s bed with scandalous photos splashed all over the media. Instead of trusting her, Abel Donovan, her cold yet powerful husband, chose to believe the lie. With heartbreak twisting in her chest and a secret growing in her womb, he kicked her out and turned his back. What he never knew was Anna was carrying his child.

Five years later, Annabelle returns not as the disgraced ex-wife but as the untouchable CEO of BelleNova, a global fashion empire. She's elegant, powerful, and cold as ice. And beside her walks a smart, beautiful little girl who looks just like Abel. Their paths collide again when a billion-dollar deal forces them into the same room and Abel finds himself drawn to the woman he once discarded. The past claws its way back, secrets start to unravel, and Abel realizes the biggest mistake of his life wasn’t just letting her go but never knowing what he had.

Now, caught between love and pride, truth and revenge, Abel must fight to win back the woman he destroyed. But Anna isn’t the same woman he left bleeding on the floor, she’s powerful, untouchable, and ready to burn it all down, including his heart. With a jealous mistress, a cunning ex, a daughter caught in the crossfire, and a corporate war brewing, the real question is, will she let him in again… or watch him fall like she once did?

“What are you doing here?”
Ryan’s voice cut through the air, his gaze locked on the one girl who had once been his greatest weakness, now his greatest enemy.
For her, the last man she ever wanted to see was now her employer.
