Bailee Johnson was sick of always being second best. After her husband cheated on her and lied during their divorce, leaving her and her daughter with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the small business she had worked so hard to start, Bailee shrugged off everyone’s suggestions to put him in her past and move forward. Oh, she was going to, but not until after she took him down, even if it meant using his business rival to do so. Unbeknownst to her, that business rival just so happens to be her brother’s best friend, the first man to have ever broken her heart. The closer she gets to him, the more feelings resurface from their past, and the harder it is to lie. She wants revenge, but at what cost?

BAILEE “You can turn around now,” I said to Lacey, but she was still typing away on her phone with her shoulder against the wall. She hadn’t seemed too happy about whoever had been texting her. “Everything okay?” I asked as I placed the cup of pee on the counter and moved to wash my hands. “Fin
BAILEE “Bailee,” Lacey’s voice came from the other side of the door, and I groaned as I dropped my head onto the toilet seat. I had yet to kick the stomach bug I had caught, and the more I cried over Alex, the stronger it became. It felt like my body was mourning, too, even though I knew being so
ALEXANDER No. I couldn't lose her again. I just got her back. Each breath came out faster than the last, and my mind was torn between chasing her to ensure she was okay or going back to my desk so I could see what had upset her so much. I didn’t even know what I had done wrong. "Fuck off, Al
Closing it, I jumped right to the bottom drawer and pulled it open, my heart stopping as I saw the familiar folder. My stomach twisted, and I let my fingertips slide along the front of the manila folder lying flat inside. My gut was telling me that this was a mistake. I knew this was a mistake. Th
BAILEE Nathan smiled brightly at me as I approached his desk, but he jumped to his feet and gestured for me to follow him to Alex’s office. “Good afternoon, Ms. Evans. Mr. Kingston is in a meeting right now, but he will be back soon. You may wait in here. Can I bring you anything?” Nathan smiled,
