Five years ago, I was just a struggling waitress. Damian Thorne was the cold, ruthless billionaire who ruined me. His family called me a gold digger and paid me to disappear. I took their moneynot out of greed, but to save my dying mother. I vanished, only to discover I was carrying the heir to the Thorne empire. Now, I’m back. But I’m not the naive girl he remembers. I’m the Head of Acquisitions for a rival tech firm, and I have one goal: to destroy the Thorne family and make them pay for every tear I shed. I’m sharp, I’m guarded, and I’m ready for war. The only complication? My fouryearold son, Leoa genius with Damian’s exact icy blue eyes. When Damian sees me across a boardroom table, his obsession returns, but so does his fury. He vows to ruin my career. But when he discovers Leo, the real battle begins. He demands custody, threatening to take my son away forever. Damian thinks he holds all the power. But he’s forgotten one thing: he still wants me, even if he hates me. And I’m going to use that to bring the billionaire to his knees. He wanted an heir. He threw away the mother. Now, he’s going to regret ever letting me go.
