The morning after Ethan and I made love, his lawyer showed up at our apartment. He laid a large manila folder on the coffee table: a deed to our condo, car keys, and a wire transfer confirmation for $1.8 million. "Mr. Lester considers this a severance package," the lawyer stated, his voice flat. Just hours before, Ethan had whispered promises, his touch tender. Now, he was gone, to an arranged marriage in Dallas. I wanted to scream, but only felt a chilling confusion. How could the man who held me so close be so cold? Was our four-year love story just a transaction? My world, once vibrant, collapsed into a silent, sun-drenched cage. But one detail struck me, a bizarre act of kindness in the midst of betrayal: Ethan had instructed his lawyer not to disturb my sleep. Why would a man dishing out such cruelty care if I got enough rest? It was a nonsensical flicker of concern that screamed one thing: he was being forced. There had to be more to this. I wouldn't accept it. I picked up my phone, not to call him, but to call a number he never knew I had. "Anthony," I said, my voice steady. "I need a flight to Dallas. Immediately."

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
