On the night of her engagement, Skyler Thompson had a one-night stand with a gigolo. She was dumped by her fiancé, labeled a disgrace by her father, and thrown out of the Thompsons' residence, never to show her face again.But five years later, she came back, not as the timid girl they had once neglected, but as a mom who'd do anything for her son.They thought she was back to beg, back to curry favor from her past lover, but to all their surprise, she came back for the face of Carter Holdings.They laughed at her and mocked her for daring to think she could have a chance with the CEO, even after her engagement with his stepbrother failed. But what they didn't expect was to find the cold and aloof man hold her close in front of the media and say: “The child is mine, so are you."Now everyone wants to curry favor from the new Mrs. Carter; even the scumbag wants a chance, but it's already too late. They lost their opportunity.

But this time, she chose herself. Watching her walk away was easy–but what wasn't so easy, was watching everything he thought he built crumble before his eyes.
