She was nothing to him. Now she's everything he can't have. Aunika Duvall learned the hard way that love and loyalty mean nothing to a billionaire Alpha who sees her as just another secretary. One public rejection. One shattered mate bond. One night that nearly killed her. Few months later, she's back, but not as the broken omega who collapsed at his feet. Now she's E.R. Marshall, venture capitalist queen with a fifty-million-dollar smile and a secret that could destroy him. Marlon Lance has no idea the mysterious investor holding his company's lifeline is the same woman he threw away like yesterday's coffee. He rejected her when she had nothing. Now she has everything. Some mistakes can't be bought back. Some rejections can't be undone. And some women don't just want apologies, they want empires.
