He married me to close a deal, not expecting me to close the door.
I overheard my billionaire husband tell the woman he loved first that he married me because my family’s construction company was the final piece in the business empire his grandfather wanted.
He never loved me.
I just didn’t know it.
For two years, I fought for a marriage that always felt slightly out of reach. Late nights. Empty promises. A husband who looked straight through me. Then the woman he’d loved before me walked back into our lives...and I overheard the truth.
Walking away should have been the end, but he comes after me. At first, I’m sure it’s pride and ego, and I shut him down every time.
He still keeps showing up.
Now the man who manipulated me into marriage has to prove he’s actually changed.
Grand gestures won’t work. Billionaire money won’t fix what he broke.
The only thing that matters is whether the stranger quietly cleaning kennels, rescuing unwanted dogs, and rebuilding my dream shelter is the real Maddox...
or just another version focused on another campaign.
This time, I decide the terms.
This time, love has to be earned.
