I gave my husband everything—my love, my loyalty, and even my health—only to be tossed aside like garbage. The night I handed him the contract that would make him a millionaire, he gave me divorce papers and introduced his new fiancée, the daughter of his company’s director. Just when I thought my world had collapsed, he appeared. Leon Castello. The cold, ruthless billionaire my husband had spent years trying to impress. He made me an offer I couldn’t refuse: “Marry me, and I’ll make your ex regret ever leaving you.” At first, it was just a deal. A marriage on paper. But Leon knew things about me no stranger should. He protected me, cherished me, and whispered my name in his sleep like a long-lost memory. And then I discovered the truth. Leon Castello wasn’t just my husband’s enemy. He had been waiting for me all along.

Leon removed his jacket and draped it over a chair before heading toward the bar.I slipped off my heels, the ache in my feet nothing compared to the pressure that had settled in my chest all night. The stares. The whispers. The way Daniel had looked at me like I was something he had lost and wanted to reclaim.And Leon. Always composed. Always in control.There was something off about him.I watched the wine swirl in the crystal glass as he poured himself a drink. His tie was loosened and his shirt was open, but he still looked powerful. Like a man who has the world in his hands and never let anyone know what it cost him."You handled yourself well tonight," he said, his voice smooth, unreadable.I scoffed, crossing my arms. "Handled myself?"His gaze lifted, pinning me in place. "Daniel wanted a reaction from you. You didn’t give him one. That’s st

They gossiped. They called me everything from a gold digger to a genius. Some pitied me. Others envied me.But the truth?I didn't even know what to make of this..Sitting down in the passenger seat with Leon in his car, just looking out the window as we got to his penthouse.

EVA’S POVLeon Castello stepped into my house like he already owned it.The air shifted around him, heavy with authority and something darker—something unreadable. He moved with the quiet confidence of a man who never heard the word no, his tailored suit perfectly crisp, his piercing gaze locked onto me like he could see straight through my soul.I swallowed hard, still gripping the door handle.This was a mistake.It had to be."What are you here?" My voice was rough, raw from crying so much, but I forced myself to maintain composure.Leon’s expression did not change. He put his hands into his pockets, slowly taking in the empty living room. It was too quiet, too empty—a show of the chaos inside me.He nodded toward the divorce papers still sitting on the coffee table.

The blonde woman.What happened last night came rushing back, slamming into me with such force.My heart beat fast as I looked around the living room,expecting—hoping—that this was all some terrible prank.I shut upright, my breath coming in shallow gasps. But reality was merciless.Daniel’s side of the shelf was empty.The side table where he kept his watch, his cologne, his night reading glasses—all gone.I stood up from the floor where I fell the night before , my legs weak under me. I picked up my phone, my fingers shaking as I dialed his number.Disconnected.I tried again.This number is no longer in servic
