Prologue

Burned.

"All I wanted right after I graduated was a family. A husband who would love me and a lot of kids"

"You got your wish didn't you?"

"Did i? It's been eight years, no children, my husband....you should see the way he looks at me. Like am a curse, I am a curse. I can't even give him children"

"You're still young, you will have children. You will get your wish"

"I'm thirty years old already, so please tell me. When exactly will I have children? Maybe I shouldn't have married him, maybe I should have waited for you"

"I wouldn't have made you happy, you said it yourself"

"Maybe I was wrong, I don't know. Maybe marriage wasn't meant for me, maybe I do not deserve a family. Maybe I should have chased a career"

"Enough about the maybes, what do you want now?"

"Happiness, I want to be happy"

"And you think I can help you?"

"I don't know, I just want you to try"

"I can't help you. You should leave"

He hardened his heart but not for long because the tears that ran down her face broke his heart.

"I just want a child, just one" she sobbed.

Miley's life fell apart on the night of her 19th Birthday. The celebration was tainted by the business of betrayal. At the party, Miley's drink was spiked, and when she felt ill, she staggered out of the room, only to stumble upon a conspiracy between her boyfriend and her sister. She had always known that her sister didn't love her. but what she hadn't expected was that her boyfriend, whom she had always trusted, was also in cahoots with her. Realization stung sharper than the cold air outside as she discovered their cruel intentions to humiliate her. Overwhelmed and betrayed, she found refuge in an unfamiliar room. But fate, it seemed, had a cocktail of sorrows lined up for her. In the room she sought refuge in was Logan Pierce. This man, a dominant and arrogant person, and her boyfriend's uncle were known to be a living nightmare for those who would cross his path. Under the influence of drugs, they slipped into a night, and he took her for the first time in ways she wished she could forget. Waking up to a world where accusations were hurled at her from all corners, her family turned their backs on her. Placating Logan seemed to have ranked higher than standing up for Miley, their own blood. Disowned and discarded, Miley found herself abandoned on the relentless, heartless streets. Years later, she had blossomed into the U.S. manager of Hales company. During a business meeting, she stumbled upon Logan once again. But the passing years had erased Miley's face from Logan's memory, arousing within him a curiosity and fascination for this elusive lady director. unable to recall the tragic past, Logan felt unwarranted anger towards Miley as he continuously evaded her- thus beginning their forbidden dance of desire yet again.
