“Yes, we are friends, Nathalie. But you really can’t blame me for how things turned out,” she defended herself, a heavy layer of casual sarcasm bleeding into her tone as her eyes slowly raked up and down my outfit. “I mean, think about it. Having a whore at my wedding, where the classiest people in society attended? It would have been an absolute stain on my new status.” “Excuse me?” I whispered, the words slipping out before I could stop them. I stared at her, praying desperately that my ears were playing tricks on me as my chest tightened painfully. “Oh, you’re excused, Nathalie,” she shot back, her tone defensive. “What exactly did you expect me to do? Give you an invitation to my luxury wedding? Do you honestly think I’d let you come and completely ruin my social image? The moment someone asks what you do for a living, you’d go ahead and spill the truth about being a whore.” Seven years of friendship meant nothing when Caroline Bennett climbed the high-society ladder. To protect her new pristine reputation, she ruthlessly discarded Nathalie, the best friend who had sacrificed everything—even her own body—to keep her family afloat. Broken, humiliated, and determined to quit the sex trade forever, Nathalie accepts one final anonymous client. A night of raw, dangerous passion with a powerful stranger leaves her with a parting gift: a secret pregnancy with twins. Armed with a single corporate business card, Nathalie marches into the glass towers of Harrington Holdings to find the father, only to come face-to-face with the city's most ruthless, cold-hearted billionaire. The twist? He isn't just the father of her unborn babies. He is her treacherous best friend’s brand-new husband.
