In Veridale, Anastasia loves Garrett with everything she has, sacrificing her dignity and even her status as the beloved Pearl family princess. But Garrett? He never loves her back. He even kisses the woman he truly desires right in front of her. Shattered, Anastasia finally makes the choice she should have made long ago—she files for divorce. The world cheers, claiming Garrett is finally free. Garrett himself thinks so, too... Until the day he sees her again. No longer the meek woman he once knew, Anastasia rises from the ashes, transforming into a brilliant investor with a billion-dollar empire at her feet. For the first time in his life, Garrett tastes true regret. When Garrett, broken and desperate, kneels before Anastasia, begging for a second chance, a mysterious, powerful man steps forward, wrapping his arm around her. "I'm afraid you'll have to leave. My wife has no time for your likes."
