Aveline never imagined that marrying the man she had loved for ten years would turn into a living nightmare. Caelan Lysander—the powerful and ruthless CEO—made it clear on their wedding day: "This is a business deal, not love." His words were cold, and his eyes held only resentment. To him, Aveline was nothing more than a pawn in a family arrangement, the woman he held responsible for tearing his family apart. Still, Aveline believed that time could change everything. She hoped that if she was kind enough, strong enough, he would eventually see her for who she truly was. But she was wrong. Caelan never gave her a chance. Instead, he flaunted his relationship with his mistress, Liora, humiliating Aveline at every turn, crushing her dignity bit by bit. When Aveline discovered she was pregnant with his child, she thought this might be the moment that would change things. Full of hope, she shared the news with Caelan, expecting him to soften, at least for the sake of their child. But instead, Caelan dealt her the most devastating blow—at a corporate gala, he held up her pregnancy test results for everyone to see and sneered, "This changes nothing. You’ll never have my love." Shattered and humiliated, Aveline walked away, determined to raise their child far from the man who had only caused her pain. She thought she could finally escape Caelan and the heartache he brought. But what she didn’t know was that from the moment she left, Caelan’s world started to fall apart. Her absence made him realize just how much he had truly lost. The woman who had stood by him through it all, the one who had loved him despite his cruelty—he had driven her away. Now, as regret consumes him, Caelan is ready to do whatever it takes to win her back. Determined to atone for his mistakes, Caelan launches a relentless pursuit to bring Aveline home. He makes promises, begs for her forgiveness, and tries to prove that he’s changed. But Aveline is no longer the naive woman who loved him without question. If Caelan wants her back, he will have to fight for her heart, and this time, she isn’t making it easy.
