Melissa Wright spent three years as David Haynes' loyal secretary and secret wife; silent, unseen, and unwanted. When she discovers she's pregnant, she believes it's finally time to fight for her place in his life but the night she plans to tell him, she finds herself standing in the shadows watching David toast to a future with his first love; Helena Powell. With her heart in pieces and a child to protect, Melissa disappears without a trace, determined to build a life of her own. But fate has other plans. When she reemerges, thriving and unrecognizable, she's no longer the woman David once overlooked; she's a rising star in the fashion industry, powerful in her own right. Now, David is faced with a woman he barely knows, yet can't ignore. And when he finally learns the truth about the child she kept from him, he realizes too late that the woman he took for granted is the one he can't afford to lose. But Melissa has learned the hard way that love isn't enough. Can he prove he's truly changed, or will she slip through his fingers forever?

Chapter 1 The News That Changed Everything

Melissa Wright walked out of the hospital speedily, holding the test results with her hands trembling. At first, the words on the result were blurred in her eyes but she already knew what they said; she was pregnant with David's baby.

She let out a huge sigh of relieve as a shaky breath left her lips and at that point she pressed a hand to her still-flat stomach. "This was it... The moment that changed everything."

Her fingers hovered over her phone as her mind talked to her "Call David, tell him" She was convinced then that maybe, just maybe, this would be the thing that made him finally see her.

Just as she was about to place the call to David, her screen lit up with a message before she could even dial his number.

Melissa frowned at the text "No 'hello,' no explanation... just an order. Typical David Haynes." Still, she pushed aside the irritation and hailed a cab. If he wanted to see her then she would tell him the news in person.

She smiled to herself in the backseat while trying to picture his reaction "Would he be shocked? Happy? Would he pull me into his arms the way I'd always dreamed he would?"

Hope filled her chest and she began to believe that this was the start of something new; something real.

The cab pulled up at the Grand Arcadia and Melissa's heart leaped at the sight of flashing cameras, a red carpet, and a sea of expensive gowns and tailored suits "A celebration?" she asked herself.

"My wedding anniversary" She said as she exhaled and relief washed over her. "Maybe David had finally planned something for me" She thought "Maybe this was his way of making things right." She said lowly as she stepped inside, pushing through the crowd and scanning the room for him.

There he was; tall, striking and impossible to miss but he wasn't alone.

Her heart leaped as she saw the woman beside him; "Helena Powell?" The woman David had never truly let go of; David's first love.

Melissa's breath seized as Helena leaned into David and their closeness unmistakable as the guests cheered and someone raised a glass "To David and Helena, reunited at last!"

Melissa felt the world stop for a while; Laughter, Applause and Helena smiling as though she already owned David.

"David's wife?" someone scoffed. "Oh please, we all know he only married Melissa to appease his grandmother" another echoed "Exactly! David was always meant to be with Helena" the first responded.

David smiled at the teasing "Alright, enough.." he said coolly. "Helena can't drink, so I'll drink for her." He added as he took Helena's glass from her. He lifted his glass with his hand on Helena's waist and his expression was relaxed and comfortable like she was what he had wanted all along.

Melissa barely registered the moment as she turned and walked out. The sound of rain greeted her, but she kept moving even when her body felt numb. The wind bit at her skin with rain soaking her dress but she didn't care at all.

The hospital's results crumpled in her hand forgotten. "So that was it" she said as tears dropped down from her eyes. That was David's real choice.

She forced herself to breathe knowing she needed to leave, to just walk away and be done, but just as she reached her front door, headlights cut through the rain and a sleek black car pulled up with a familiar figure stepping out. His sharp and commanding voice cut through the night. "Melissa, why are you standing in the rain?"

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.
