Roland ended three years in under three minutes.No raised voice. No remorse. Just Albert standing two paces behind him with an envelope. Roland faces, wears a particular blankness he reserves for transactions he's already closed in his head. The mating ceremony Valentina spent six weeks constructing, the venue she dressed with her own hands, the cedar-and-rose scent she engineered because he mentioned it once four years ago and she wrote it down before he finished the sentence is cancelled and traded. Replaced by Senator Fidelis's daughter and a political alliance worth more than she ever was.He put "Completion Bonus" in the memo line of the cheque.That's where Valentina's plan ended. And where Christopher and Christiana's began.Christopher, precise and controlled, who looked at her across that bar table like he was reading a document he already knew he wanted to sign. Christiana, warm and disarmingly sharp, who will make her laugh in the middle of the worst week of her life and make her hate herself a little for it.Two Alphas; stepbrothers,offering war instead of comfort.Forty-eight hours was all it was supposed to be. Then Singapore made the first ceremony permanent. Switzerland made the second. The pregnancy test named no father. And Prudence, the woman Roland replaced her with, turned out to be the architect of everything.Some mistakes change your address but thjis one changes the law

Grace never wanted to be anyone's wife, especially not Richard Hartwell's. Their marriage was nothing but a business transaction, a cruel twist of fate that bound her to a man whose heart belonged to someone else. Victoria. The name tasted like poison every time Grace heard it. For two years, she lived in the shadows of Richard's grand estate in Toronto, invisible, unwanted, a ghost in her own marriage. But when Richard announced he was divorcing her to marry Victoria, Grace made one final request. Three months. That was all she asked. Three months to be treated like a real wife before she disappeared forever. Richard thought she was desperate, pathetic even. He agreed, thinking it would be easy to tolerate her for ninety days. But those three months changed everything. The way Grace smiled through her pain, the way she loved without asking for anything in return, the way she silently carried a secret that would shake Richard's world. When Grace finally walked away, she left more than memories behind. She left Richard questioning everything he thought he knew about love, duty, and the woman he had been too blind to see. Now, with the truth unraveling and time running out, Richard must decide if he can fight for the woman he lost, or if some mistakes are too late to fix.
