My boyfriend cheated. My best friend interfered. And I had a one-night stand with my boss.
"Hello? Adeline? You and your boyfriend are persons of interest in an investigation concerning the distribution of obscene videos. We need you to come to the station."
At the police station, I watched the sex tape of the two people I trusted most, and my entire world imploded.
But that was also the night I met him—the man who would change everything.
When my ex wouldn't back off, fabricating horrible rumors to destroy my name, Ronald Williams, the powerful CEO I'd spent one incredible night with, stepped forward.
He stood in front of me like a shield. "She's Mrs. Williams now," he said, his gaze cutting into my ex. "As for you? You never had what it takes to please a woman like her."
It was more than just feeling protected. In that instant, I knew I was completely and utterly in love with him.

In six years of marriage, I sacrificed everything for this family.
But my husband, Arthur, poured all his time and energy into another woman. Even worse, my own children wished for his mistress to be their mother.
When I realized I had been completely discarded—left truly alone in this house—something changed.
My eyes fell upon my mother’s Nobel Prize medal, and a fire ignited within me. A resolve of steel hardened my heart: From this moment on, I would live for myself!
Husband? Divorce him. Children? I was done with them.
From now on, I would be the master of my own destiny!
I returned to the laboratory, commanded the podium, and claimed the very same honors my mother once held.
But when I finally shoved the divorce papers into Arthur’s hands, his world—and the children’s—collapsed.
His initial flash of rage instantly crumbled. With bloodshot eyes, he fell to his knees before me, his voice hoarse and broken.
"Irene... I’m begging you... please don't leave me..."

Three years ago, my first love was nothing more than a housekeeper's son.
But when he was released from prison, he returned as a man I no longer recognized—the ruthless CEO of the Thomas Group, wielding limitless power.
"Adeline," he vowed, his eyes cold as steel. "I will make you pay for your sins."
True to his word, he stripped me of everything. Because of him, I was forced into the darkest corners of society, enduring every humiliation just to survive.
It was only when I was on my deathbed, begging for one final moment with him, that the mask finally cracked. For the first time, I saw tears in his eyes.
I reached out, placing our daughter’s small hand into his.
And in that moment, the powerful CEO fell to his knees before me, weeping like a broken man.

In the office, my husband's penis was still inside my body one second, and the next, my sister walked in holding a pregnancy test report, saying she was pregnant with his child...
