“Asha Campbell,I spent five years walking on eggshells, molding myself into the perfect, quiet fiancée for Garrison Morrow. But when I was brutally kidnapped and tied up in a freezing warehouse, he thought it was just a pathetic stunt to get his attention. The kidnappers forced a burner phone to my ear, demanding a five-million-dollar ransom. "Garrison, help me... I've been kidnapped." Over the speaker, a cold laugh echoed. He and his first love, Elise Huffman, were married in a church. "Enough. Don't call me again. I'm with Elise at the chapel for her prayers. I don't have time for these childish games." He hung up on me, and the enraged kidnappers poured a potent date-rape drug down my throat before dumping me in a rainy alley to die. I couldn't understand how the man I had devoted my entire life to could leave me to such a horrific fate, discarding me like garbage just to accompany another woman. Burning with fever and utterly shattered, I threw myself in front of a passing Rolls-Royce. Only to find the man who stepped out to save me was Damian Sterling-the most ruthless billionaire in New York, and Garrison's biggest rival.”
