"I want a divorce!" Ryan demanded, despite the fact that he had cheated on her with his ex. ~ Serena is no longer the quiet, romantic lady Ryan Winters married and divorced five years ago. Serena, now the CEO of Rocky's Designs, is bright, unwavering, and unapologetic about her independence—a far cry from the woman Ryan remembers. When fate brings them back into one another's lives, Ryan is forced to confront the truth about their past, their newfound hot chemistry, and a surprising revelation; Serena has a daughter who may be his. But Ryan's girlfriend, Kate, isn't prepared to lose him again. Kate is manipulative and calculative. She will do whatever it takes to keep Ryan in her grasp—even if it means destroying Serena's life and the corporate empire she has built.

Chapter 1

Serena’s POVI stormed into my flat and slammed the door behind me. "Damn it!" I yelled, throwing my bag across the room. Tears distorted my vision as I paced the living room, the agony in my chest excruciating. “How could Ryan have done this to me? Why now?" I muttered as tears streamed down my face. It was only meant to be a contract, but finding out Ryan was cheating on me with Kate, his first love from college, hurt more than I could have imagined. I hoped that over time, he would develop feelings for me. But suddenly, those expectations were dashed. We had only been married for six months, as part of a deal to assist him regain control of his firm.Ryan and I attended the same college. I was merely Ryan's friend, despite my desire for more. I adored him, but he was seeing someone else. I felt lucky when Ryan's uncle, who had been managing Ryan's firm on his behalf, asked that he marry so that his company could be passed back to him after college. Ryan had no choice but to...

Chapter 2
5 YEARS LATERSerena’s POVI walked into my bright, sunny workplace at Rocky’s Designs. The walls were painted a light yellow, and the shelves were filled with sketches and small flower pots. My large desk was at the centre, with a window behind it showing the city skyline. This was my firm. I developed it from the ground up, using only a few ideas and a lot of hard labour. "Good morning, Miss Serena!" Emma, my assistant, said with a wide smile as she entered behind me. She held a cup of coffee for me. “Good morning, Emma,” I said, taking the cup. “Thank you. Do we have a busy day today?""Oh, yes," she replied, gazing at her tab. “You have a meeting at 10 with the marketing team, a call with a client at 11, and a lunch meeting with Mr. Hayes." “Mr. Hayes?" I enquired, lifting an eyebrow. Emma nodded. "He wants to discuss the new project." I sighed, yet smiled. “Alright, let's get to it." As I sat down, I looked at the photograph on my desk. It was a picture of my four-year

Chapter 3
Ryan's POV I left Rocky's Designs that day with my head racing. It had to be her. The name on the desk; Serena Winthrop. It was not a coincidence. Could the little girl be Serena's daughter? I could not quit thinking about her. We shared a past. How things ended drastically. And now, five years later, she is running a profitable business and maybe raising a child. I shook my head as I considered the child who could be—No, I needed answers and would get them. The following day, I arrived at the company early, determined to see her. I had a meeting with her staff to discuss a potential collaboration, but I wasn't going to finalise anything until I saw Serena.I wanted to know if she was the CEO and, more crucially, if the little girl was her daughter. The meeting started in a huge conference room. Her employees seemed eager to impress me, pitching ideas and tactics for how our companies could collaborate. But my attention was elsewhere. “Mr. Winters," one of them said, nervo

Chapter 4
Ryan's POV The drive to the hospital was tense. Serena sat stiffly in the passenger seat, clutching her phone like a lifeline. She kept looking at it, her lips pulled together. I wanted to reassure her, but I wasn't sure how. “What hospital?" I enquired, breaking the stillness. “Private Children's Hospital," she answered, her voice clipped. I nodded and sped up. We got to the hospital in record time. Serena got out of the car before I could turn off the engine, her heels clicking rapidly against the sidewalk as she rushed inside. I followed closely, unable to stop the sinking feeling in my chest.At the front desk, she enquired about her daughter with a mix of worry and authority. “Amy Winthrop. "Where is she?" “Room 208," the receptionist replied.Serena did not wait for any additional information. She turned and ran down the corridor, her urgency drawing me along. When we arrived at the front of the room, she came to a sudden halt and turned to me. Her eyes were full of c

Chapter 5
Ryan sat in his car a few houses down from where Serena had parked, his hands firmly grasping the steering wheel.The small home, with its well manicured plants and comforting lights lighting inside, told him one thing; Serena had made her life here without him.He wasn't sure what to expect, but seeing the house triggered a peculiar combination of emotions; shame and longing. He watched Serena gently carry a sleeping Amy into the house. The sight of his daughter caused his chest to hurt. He had missed so much, years of her life that he couldn't reclaim. But right now, he wasn't there for Amy. He needed to see Serena.Ryan waited until the lights in the house darkened, then calculated how long it would take Serena to tuck Amy into bed. His mind raced, and memories of their time together came flooding back. When they were only pals, her laughter would lighten even his worst days. After they married, she gazed at him as if he were her entire universe. But then, he had thrown every

Chapter 6
Ryan returned to his apartment in the early morning hours, the sun just beginning to rise. His head felt heavy, and his body ached from the intensity of the emotions that had surged through him last night. As he entered his apartment, he froze. Kate was sitting on the couch, her legs crossed, her arms folded tightly against her chest, glaring at him.“How did you get in?” Ryan asked, his voice strained, still reeling from the night he had spent with Serena.Kate’s gaze flickered with annoyance as she stood up, her heels clicking against the hardwood floor.“Your mother gave me the spare key. I’ve been waiting for you. Where the hell have you been, Ryan? You were supposed to be at my place last night!” She leaned forward, her tone demanding. Ryan closed the door behind him and let out a long sigh. He didn’t want to deal with this right now. He just wanted to go to bed. “I was at the office. You know how it is. Long night. Lots of work.”Kate’s eyes narrowed, but she didn’t imm

Chapter 7
Kate sat in her plush apartment, her fingers drumming impatiently on the armrest of her chair. Across from her sat a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor, a briefcase resting on his lap. He was the private investigator she had hired, and he was finally here with answers.“Well?” Kate demanded, her tone sharp. “What did you find?”The man opened his briefcase, pulling out a folder thick with papers and photographs. He spread a few pictures on the table before her, one catching Kate’s immediate attention. It was Ryan, standing outside a modest house with a woman.“This,” the investigator began, pointing to the photo, “ This is Serena. She’s been running her own company since the divorce, and it seems Ryan has been visiting her regularly.”Kate’s jaw tightened. Her gaze lingered on the image of Serena, her teeth grinding audibly. “Serena,” she hissed. “Of course, it’s her. He’s going back to his ex-wife?”The investigator cleared his throat, sensing her rising anger. “It doesn’t

Chapter 8
Serena adjusted her blazer as her assistant, Emma, stepped into the office, a clipboard in hand. Her presence reminded Serena of the embarrassing scene earlier. She avoided Emma’s gaze, forcing herself to maintain composure.“Emma,” Serena started, pretending to be engrossed in the files on her desk, “what’s next on my schedule for today?”Emma hesitated, her usual cheerful demeanor a bit restrained. “Well, you have a dinner meeting with Mr. Pierre Rousseau from Paris. He flew in specifically for this meeting, so—”Serena sighed heavily, cutting her off. “Cancel it.”Emma blinked in surprise. “Cancel it?”“Yes,” Serena said briskly, still not looking up. “Tell him something came up. Reschedule for another day.”Emma’s face twisted with discomfort. “I would, Ms. Serena, but… Mr. Rousseau made it very clear how important this meeting is. He flew all the way from Paris, and it’s regarding the joint venture proposal.”Serena groaned, leaning back in her chair. She pinched the bridge

Chapter 9
Ryan’s eyes blazed with frustration as he stood in Serena’s living room, staring at her defiant stance. Her arms were crossed over her chest, her lips pressed into a thin line.“Who was that man, Serena?” he demanded, his voice sharp.Serena tilted her head, an eyebrow arching. “What are you talking about?” she asked coolly.Ryan clenched his fists. “Don’t act clueless. I saw you a few minutes ago—at the restaurant. You were laughing with some guy. Who was he?” Instead of responding, Serena’s lips curled into a sly smile. “And why does it matter, Ryan?” she asked, her tone laced with amusement.“It matters because—” he started, but Serena cut him off.“Because what?” She chuckled and took a step closer to him. “Because you’re jealous?”“I’m not jealous!” Ryan snapped, his voice rising.“Really?” Serena teased, her smile growing wider. “Because it sure sounds like jealousy to me.” Ryan opened his mouth to argue, but before he could get another word out, Serena closed the dista

Chapter 10
Ryan sat in his office, flipping through files, but his mind wasn’t on work. He kept thinking about Serena—the way she had dismissed him that morning, the way she had looked at him without a trace of emotion. It bothered him more than he cared to admit.Just then, his office door opened, and Jefferson, his personal assistant, walked in with a clipboard in hand.“Sir, you have back-to-back meetings today,” Jefferson said, scanning the list. “You’ve been postponing a lot of them, and now they’re all piling up.”Ryan sighed and leaned back in his chair. “Just reschedule some of them, Jefferson. I’m not in the mood for a long day.”Jefferson hesitated. “I’ve already moved things around as much as I can. You have to attend at least three of them today, no excuses.”Before Ryan could respond, a knock came at the door. His secretary popped her head in.“Sir, your mother is here to see you.”Ryan groaned under his breath. If his mother was here unannounced, it only meant one thing—trouble
