When she left the cold, controlling man she loved five years ago, Isabella left behind more than just a shattered marriage. Now that she has returned to the city as a prosperous businesswoman, she has a little son who is actually the CEO's heir. Alexander, the strong CEO she previously married, promises to discover her secrets when he learns of her return. However, what he discovers shocks him: a woman who is no longer weak and submissive, and a child who bears his blood. Isabella and Alexander are drawn back into a perilous game of love, power, and retaliation as adversaries circle and secrets come to light. Will pride ruin their second opportunity, or can they confront the truth?

Chapter 1 Betrayal

Isabella got down from her Rolls-Royce, impatient to see her husband. She had just received good news from the hospital.

What better day to share the news with her husband than on the night of their anniversary?

As soon as she alighted, she waited for the driver to move the car forward for proper parking before she moved towards the mansion.

My husband would be so happy to know that I am pregnant.

As she approached the door, she grinned at the thought of how her husband would feel once she told him about the baby growing inside of her.

She found the door wasn't locked and pushed inside gently, wondering why it was left open.

"Babe," she called in the living room but didn't get any response – only echoes of her own voice.

She went straight into their bedroom, and what she found left her in shock for seconds.

Her husband, the man whose baby is growing inside of her, was lying naked in bed with another woman.

It was as though she had been struck by lightning when she realised the woman was Tracy, her husband's ex-fiancée, whom he claimed he was done with.

Her husband was wasted in bed, perhaps from the alcohol which took over the room or from the round they just had, or even both. Despite her conspicuous presence, he didn't act as though she existed. He didn't even look at her.

Tracy didn't try to stand up after being caught; she just lay there as his arms wrapped around her waist.

Tracy kissed Alexander's forehead, letting her know that they didn't care about her presence.

Anger rushed through her as she felt betrayed by the man she had given up everything for. She never saw this coming. She had thought Alexander was among the few decent men on earth, but she was wrong. Men are indeed scum.

Since she married her husband, she had to quit her job as a secretary because her husband didn't approve of her working.

At that time, she didn't see anything wrong in it. After all, her husband was a billionaire who could take care of her. But as time went on, she became bored, and it dawned on her that she had married a domineering husband who didn't care about her feelings as a woman. He always wanted things done his own way and didn't really care much about what his woman wanted.

At first, she considered it normal, thinking that all men liked to be in control. But then she slowly realised he was kind of possessive and barely allowed her to speak with strangers outside of her maid, cook, driver, and other staff.

She tried to get used to life, telling herself that she has a good life that every woman of her age dreamed of and that she doesn't have anything to worry about, as her husband provides everything she needs. But it wasn't long until she realised she'd been lying to herself.

Work was the only language she understood and her go-to place to relieve life's jabs. She has always been working since she was a teenager. Her father died at a young age, and she was forced to assist her mother, who worked as a house help for a rich man.

Her hard work and consistency took her through college. Before meeting Alexander, she used to be independent, but she seemed new to the world Alexander is showing her.

The man appeared cold sometimes, distant, rigid, and arrogant, but deep down, she felt that he loved and cared for her deeply. Or so she thought

She continued to hide her pain deep down, she continued to be a loving and obedient woman to her husband, even if it meant giving up her own life and dreams of someday managing a big company.

What does she need that for anyway when she married a wealthy man?

But now that she stood at the entrance of their bedroom, her legs shook.

How could I give up life to this liar and cheat? Uncontrolled tears washed down her face. She has been betrayed.

But never again. She wouldn't allow any man ever to treat her like this again. She vowed to protect her baby from the man.

A lying man isn't fit to father my child. I have to take him as far away as possible.

She left the house. She did not take any of her belongings. She just wanted to be far from him to protect herself and her baby.

His POV

Alexander woke up the next day lying next to Tracy. He checked the time, and it was almost 10:16 am. He had almost recovered from the substance that had knocked him out the previous day.

He received the greatest shock of his life when he opened his eyes slowly and found Tracy lying beside him.

He jumped out of bed quickly. "What are you doing here? And how did you get here?"

Tracy smirked, "Come on, baby. Can't you remember what happened last night? It's so sad because we had a really nice time together."

"What?"

She wore a pitiful face. "You really can't remember."

Alexander dashed out of the bedroom into the sitting room, looking for his wife, but couldn't find her.

His loud call cut through the emptiness as he screamed across the kitchen, sitting rooms, and other parts of the house.

Then it dawned on him. The only thing he cherished is gone.

Regret settled in. He could have treated her better when he had the chance. He could have loved her right and cared for her just like she did.

But it was too late.

Furious, he went back inside and took Tracy by the arm, dragging her up.

"Let me go," she protested, but Alex ignored.. "Alex, you are hurting me."

He finally got free from him and tried to run back inside, but Alexander caught her and carried her by the waist to the door.

"I am going nowhere. You can't kick me out," she continued to struggle.

He opened the door and threw her out of the house. He quickly locked the door before she could make another comeback for the door.

Alex went inside, packed her clothes and bag littered around the room, threw them outside, and locked the door again.

He could hear her screaming from outside.

He sat on the bed and picked up his phone to call his wife, but noticed the phone wasn't going through.

"Oh, fuck."

He called his Roosevelt, his assistant at the office.

"My wife is missing. Use every resource available to find her."

I stood at the edge of the freezing pond on the Boone estate, my body trembling with a fear that rattled my bones. Across from me, Amanda Olsen looked immaculate in her cashmere coat, a sharp contrast to the jagged reality I was trying to hold together. "Why?" I whispered. Amanda just smiled, admitting she killed Grandpa Boone because he actually liked me. She pulled out a thick envelope-divorce papers Cordero had signed that morning. She told me he called me a parasite and was celebrating with her the night I suffered a miscarriage. Before I could even scream, Amanda lunged and shoved me into the icy water. My heavy wool coat acted like a sponge, dragging me into the artificial abyss. I thrashed and gasped for air, but Amanda just stood on the bank, watching me drown with her hands tucked casually in her pockets. As my lungs burned and the darkness closed in, I realized I had spent my entire marriage taking their abuse. I was the "foster trash" and the "gold digger" who let them win every single time. I was dying alone, hated by the husband I had tried so hard to love, while my murderer stood victorious on the shore. I never fought back. I just let them destroy me. Then, a violent spasm tore through my body. I sat up gasping, sucking in dry, air-conditioned oxygen instead of murky pond water. I wasn't dead. I was back in the opulent master suite, surrounded by red rose petals and wedding decorations. The digital clock glowed: October 14, 2019. I had gone back five years to the very night my nightmare began. The bathroom door clicked open, and Cordero stepped out, looking at me with the same cold disgust I remembered. But as I gripped the silk sheets, a new resolve hardened in my chest. This time, I wasn't going to be the victim. This time, the Boone family was going to find out exactly what happens when you push someone too far.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
