Too Late, Mr. Robbins: I Am Gone

Yi Shi Modern

“For five years, I was the perfect secret lover and indispensable assistant to hockey superstar Blaze Robbins, living quietly in the shadows of his glittering world. But my loyalty was rewarded with a cold, five-million-dollar severance package when he abruptly dumped me to marry a wealthy media heiress-a woman who looked exactly like his famed first love. I refused his money and walked away with nothing, only to discover I was eight weeks pregnant with his child. Before I could even plan for my baby's future, his new fiancée deliberately leaked a highly confidential corporate contract and framed me for the sabotage. The man I had devoted my life to didn't hesitate to take her side. He threatened to sue me for corporate espionage and completely destroy my career if I didn't recover the lost deal within three days. I was completely shattered. I had given him five years of absolute submission, only to be discarded like a disposable placeholder and treated like a vindictive criminal. How could the man whose scars I knew by heart be so ruthlessly blind to the truth? With my back against the wall, I disguised myself as a waitress and snuck onto a billionaire's heavily guarded yacht in Miami to clear my name. But just as I was about to corner my target, a devastatingly handsome stranger stepped into my path, smiling as if he already knew exactly who I was and what I was about to do.”
