I looked up at Roman. "If I marry you, will Damian lose everything?"I had been cheated on before and it’s not like I cared about him enough to worry about him cheating, it's just that a girl had urges that I need to be met too. I eyed him, he did look like he could do wonders in bed too.My phone buzzed and I pulled it out, seeing a notification from TMZ: "Damian Kane Celebrates Freedom with New Girlfriend at Exclusive Club."The photo showed Damian and Chloe at some rooftop bar with champagne and his arm around her while Chloe was wearing my jewelry—the diamond earrings my mother had left me. The ones I'd kept in the house safe because they were too precious to store anywhere else.She was wearing my mother's earrings! What the fuck?!A slow, dangerous smile grew on his lips. "Everything."I grabbed a pen from his desk."Where do I sign?"****When Ava Hart catches her billionaire husband in bed with her best friend on the same day she discovers her pregnancy, she plans to disappear quietly. But Roman Kane—her husband's estranged, powerful father—has been watching from the shadows for years. Roman, unable to have more children after a traumatic past and desperate for an heir worthy of his empire, offers Ava a deal: become his wife, give the child his name, and he'll give her everything she needs to destroy those who betrayed her. What begins as a transactional arrangement built on revenge evolves into a consuming, obsessive love affair that challenges everything they thought they knew about trust, power, and surrender. But when their enemies strike back with devastating force, Ava must fight alone to protect the family she never expected to have and the man who taught her that love is worth burning the world down for.
