Leah Grant gave everything to Derek Johnson; a man she thought would heal her lonely heart. Blinded by love, she leaves her wealthy family to live an ordinary life, helping him rise to power, believing they were building a future together. But when Derek’s ex, Chantelle, re-enters his life, Leah is cast aside like she is nothing. Derek’s betrayal cuts deeper than she imagined. She discovers his lies, his secret plans for divorce, and the cruel truth: she was never his choice, only a means to an end. Heartbroken and humiliated, Leah walks away, leaving the marriage she sacrificed so much to save. Years later after Leah rebuilds her life, fate brings them back together and Derek is consumed by regret. Betrayed by Chantelle and haunted by the pain he caused, not only does Derek find himself feeling too attracted to her, he also discovers she has a four-year-old son who looks a lot like him. Now, he’ll stop at nothing to win her back—but Derek will soon find out the hard way. What happens when you betray a woman who has given everything up to be with you? Would Leah want him back? Or would Derek forever chase after his secret billionaire ex-wife?

THE OTHER WOMAN The Hidden Heir
Leah’s eyes welled with tears, and even though her heart was breaking, she said, “Open it.”Reluctantly, Derek picked up the document and opened it.Immediately, his eyes widened in surprise, the cold facade momentarily cracking.His expression shifted from surprise to a mix of shock and realization, baffled by how she knew about his concerns with the prenuptial clause.“You don’t have to worry about your money, I won’t take a single cent of it. It’s all yours. After all, it’s what you said, right? This house, the company, everything you achieved, you did solely by yourself, so it’ll only be greedy of me to want something that isn’t mine, something I did not contribute to.” Leah said, her voice cracking under the weight of emotions.Derek was perplexed when he heard the tone of her voice, and even more confused why she was suddenly asking for a divorce.He could hear the hurt laced in them, and his heart ached at how much pain he was causing her. Even when he could see the disappointm

Leah stood frozen, watching as Derek walked out the door without so much as a glance.Left alone with her thoughts, her legs weakened and she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.She was still trying to process everything that happened, everything Derek said. How could he say all those cruel things with a plain face? How could he look at her, the woman who had stood by him through everything with such cold indifference and blame her for all their failed attempts at having a child?The thoughts gnawed at her and she got up and started pacing the room frantically. She felt a mixture of sadness, anger, and betrayal. She had given everything for this marriage and he had just turned and blamed her for all of it. At this point, she could not help but wonder how long he had felt this way.“How could you say those things to me?” She whispered into the silence, Derek’s words replaying in her head.The way he rushed to her side, held her, and defended her was an image she wis

Leah could feel her chest tightening at Chantelle’s words. It was just as she thought. Chantelle had only returned to put a strain on their relationship and steal Derek from her. But the nerve of her to show up at her house was infuriating.“Come on Leah, you actually didn’t think that you could take my place in his life, did you?” She chuckled.“Derek has always been mine. I have his heart. What do you have, just your name on a marriage certificate that means nothing.”Leah smirked, masking the anger boiling inside her, “What makes you think that I’m just going to stand back and let his old vomit take my husband from me?”“Oh honey, I’m already doing it,” Chantelle said with an icy calm. “I’m going to be seeing him every day at the office, and working late nights with him. Why do you think Derek offered me the job and not you? It’s because deep down he still wants me. He just doesn’t realize it yet, but I’ll help him see it.”“Derek still loves me, so why don’t you do us both a favor

“Why did I ask him that? Why does this disturb me so much?” Leah muttered as she tossed and turned in bed that night. The room was quiet. Derek had walked out after their argument, and he never returned.Leah ran her hand over Derek’s side of the bed. As expected, it was cold. It had been cold for a while.Over the last couple of months, despite sharing the same bed, Derek’s warmth had faded. He didn’t hold her to sleep anymore as much as he used to. Leah could feel their connection slowly slipping away, but she did not know why or what to do, and now… Now she could not help but think that this all had something to do with Chantelle’s return.Her mind raced with guilt and confusion, “Did I push him too far? Am I overreacting?”A soft knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts. She froze, and the faint hope that it might be Derek disappeared the moment she heard Sylvia’s voice.“Good evening Ma’am, Mr. Johnson has asked me to inform you that he’ll be staying over at the office to

“Why did you do it, Derek?” Leah’s voice trembled; her eyes heavy with disappointment.Derek didn’t even bother looking at her. Instead, he scoffed, brushing off her words as if they meant nothing. “What are you talking about, Leah?”“You know exactly what I’m talking about, Derek!” Leah snapped, her frustration boiling over, and stepped closer,“The Sales Manager position. You promised me, Derek. You told me I’d get the job.”“I don’t want to talk about it, Leah,” Derek replied with a cold air of dismissal, grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, and started walking away.“Don’t try to walk away from this Derek,” Leah’s voice cracked, heavy with emotions, “Why did you give Chantelle the job? We both know I earned that position. I deserved it! I’ve worked harder for this than anyone else Derek, harder than her! I closed some of the company’s biggest deals while you took all the credit, and supported you when no one else would!” Leah paused and drew a deep breath, trying to calm her
