Billionaire Adrian Calloway had everything—power, success, and a woman he loved. But when Elena Carter, the only woman he ever trusted, seemingly betrayed him, his world shattered. Now, years later, he returns with a plan: force her into a contract job, make her pay for her sins, and then cast her aside. But as he tightens his grip, cracks appear in his revenge plot. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers a sinister truth—Elena never betrayed him. The real culprit? His best friend, Lucas Bennett, who forged evidence to keep them apart. Fueled by guilt, passion, and unresolved emotions, Adrian finds himself at a crossroads with more frenemies unveiling. Will he seek redemption or lose the only woman who ever truly loved him?

Chapter 1: The Betrayal

The dimly lit office bore the weight of his despair. Papers lay scattered across the mahogany floor, some crumpled in fits of rage, others soaked with spilled wine.A shattered glass globe lay in pieces near his desk, a silent testament to his turmoil. The air was thick with the scent of alcohol, mingling with the faint fragrance of his cologne, now dulled by sweat and exhaustion.Adrain sat hunched over his desk, elbows resting on the cold surface, his fingers gripping his temples as if trying to hold himself together.His dark eyes, usually sharp and commanding, were red and swollen, glistening with unshed tears. His entire body trembled with the force of his emotions. He couldn’t believe it—he didn’t want to believe it."How could she?" he murmured, his voice hoarse from screaming, from pleading with the reality that refused to change."Like, how could she? After everything we've been through?"His lips quivered as he shook his head. He wiped his face with the back of his hand, but...

Chapter 2: The Thought Of Revenge.
The morning sunlight streamed through the blinds, casting streaks of golden light across the bedroom.A piercing headache throbbed in Adrian’s skull, a lingering effect of last night’s emotional breakdown and the bottles of wine he had downed in a futile attempt to numb his pain.With a low groan, he sat up, rubbing his temples as flashes of the previous night stormed through his mind. The betrayal. The anger. The humiliation. His fists clenched as he remembered her face—Elena’s face—the woman he had trusted, the woman he had given a position close to him, Elena that he has helped in so many ways, only for her to stab him in the back, and stood there like she wasn't aware of what was happening or what she'd done. Dragging himself out of bed, Adrian strode toward the bathroom, turning on the cold water to jolt himself awake. He braced his hands on the sink, staring at his reflection. His dark eyes held a storm of emotions, his jaw set in unyielding resolve. He had allowed himself to

Chapter 3: Silent Torture.
Elena barely had time to settle at her desk when her phone rang.Adrian: Come to my office. Now.She closed her eyes for a moment, steeling herself. She had known today wouldn’t be easy, but the cold efficiency of his call sent a clear message—he wasn’t done making her life miserable.Taking a deep breath, she grabbed her notepad and hurried to his office.When she knocked and stepped inside, Adrian didn’t acknowledge her at first. He was seated behind his massive desk, flipping through documents, his expression unreadable. The tension in the room was suffocating.Finally, he spoke without looking up. “You’re late.”Elena frowned. “Sir, you only just—”His sharp gaze lifted, pinning her in place.“Did I ask for an excuse?”She swallowed hard. “No, sir.”He smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Since you’re so eager to keep this job, I assume you’re willing to work for it?”Elena hesitated but nodded. “Yes, sir.”Without another word, Adrian slid a thick folder across the desk. It was a

Chapter 4: Memories That Won't Fade
Adrian sat at his desk, staring at the financial reports on his screen, he was lost in thoughts, his mind wasn’t on the numbers.It was on her.Every time Elena walked into his office, every time she spoke, every time she looked at him with those determined eyes, something inside him wavered.He clenched his jaw, shaking his head. No. He wouldn’t let himself be weak. Not after what she had done, not after everything he has been through and not even in this his condition, that he can't help but always think of what happened, why it happened and how come it happened.He had spent months convincing himself that she was nothing to him, that her betrayal had turned whatever existed between them into ash. And yet, the moment she walked into the office, his focus shattered. The memories he fought so hard to suppress resurfaced, taunting him.A sharp knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts. He knew who it was before she even stepped inside.Of course it was Elena.She walked in with he

Chapter 5: The Best Friend's Shadow
Adrian sat in the boardroom, his attention divided between the ongoing discussion and the lingering tension from his conversation with Elena. The meeting droned on, executives discussing financial projections and market strategies, but his mind remained elsewhere.Elena’s words haunted him."If you would just listen, you’d know the truth."What truth?He had convinced himself that her betrayal was undeniable. That she had sold him out, played him for a fool. But for the first time, doubt was creeping in, and he hated it.A sharp nudge on his arm pulled him back to reality.“Adrian,” a voice whispered beside him.He turned to see Lucas Hayes, his best friend and the company’s chief operations officer, leaning in with a knowing look.“You good?” Lucas asked under his breath.Adrian straightened in his chair. “Fine.”Lucas didn’t look convinced, but before he could push further, the meeting wrapped up. One by one, the executives stood, gathering their documents and making their way out o

Chapter 6
Elena felt the stares the moment she stepped into the office. The hushed whispers, the side glances, the way conversations seemed to change the second she walked by—it was all too familiar. She kept her head high, refusing to let it get to her, but deep down, she knew exactly what was happening.They were talking about her.She pretends not to notice how her colleagues were stealing glances at her. The tension in the room was thick, but she had long since learned to endure it. It wasn’t the first time she had been the subject of office gossip, and it probably wouldn’t be the last.“Elena.”She turned to see Sophie, one of the few coworkers who still spoke to her, she stopped, standing beside her desk with an uneasy expression.“You’ve heard, haven’t you?” Sophie asked in a low voice.Elena forced a small smile. “If you mean the stares and whispers, then yes, I’ve noticed.”Sophie hesitated, then sighed. “It’s about the contract.”Elena frowned. “What contract?”“The exclusive one.

Chapter 7
Elena had just finished organizing her files when her phone buzzed with a message.Adrian: Be in my office in five minutes.She stared at the screen, her stomach twisting. After what happened in the conference room, she wasn’t sure what to expect. She took a deep breath, straightened her blouse, and made her way to his office.When she stepped inside, Adrian was standing by the window, his hands in his pockets. The setting sun cast long shadows across the room, making his features unreadable.“You wanted to see me?” she asked, keeping her voice steady.He turned slowly, his eyes locking onto hers. “We have a dinner tonight.”Elena frowned. “We?”Adrian nodded. “The clients from earlier. They want to finalize discussions over dinner. You’re coming with me.”She hesitated. “Why me?”His gaze darkened slightly. “Because they brought you up in the meeting. If they have doubts about you, I want them erased.”Elena clenched her fists. Of course. This wasn’t about her skills—it was about dam

Chapter 8
What was Adrian going to say?Elena wasn’t sure she wanted to hear it.The air around the dinner table thickened, the weight of unspoken words pressing against her chest. The client, a seasoned businessman with years of experience reading people, watched Adrian closely, waiting for his response.Adrian held the client’s gaze, his expression unreadable. Then, in a calm, controlled voice, he said, “Elena stays because I say so.”A quiet chuckle rumbled from the client’s throat. He leaned back, swirling the wine in his glass. “That’s not an answer, Adrian.”Adrian’s smirk was sharp as he mirrored the man’s movements, his fingers lightly tapping against his own glass. “It’s the only answer that matters.”Lucas, seated beside the client, raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by the sudden tension.The client tilted his head, studying Adrian with interest. “So, you’re saying you trust her?”Adrian’s jaw tightened slightly, a flicker of something unreadable passing through his gaze. “I’m sayi

Chapter 9
Adrian dropped Elena at home and went straight to his office. The drive back had been silent, tension hanging thick in the air between them. He hadn’t looked at her when she stepped out of the car. He hadn’t spoken a single word. And yet, something in him had shifted.Now, alone in his office, he loosened his tie and sat down, his chair creaking under his weight. The city stretched endlessly beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, the twinkling lights a stark contrast to the storm brewing inside him. His fingers pressed against his temples, but nothing could stop the memories from crashing over him.Elena had been his everything once.He had met her at a corporate gala—one of those lavish events where everyone was trying to impress someone. It had been a room filled with power-hungry executives, men and women who measured their worth by the weight of their wallets.But she hadn’t been like them.She had been sharp, ambitious, fearless. Yet beneath all that confidence, there had been some

Chapter 10
Back to the office and work was going well.Elena had just finished sorting through reports when a sharp, purposeful knock echoed against her office door.It wasn’t hesitant. It wasn’t polite.She already knew who it was.Lucas.Sighing, she placed the documents aside, straightened her shoulders, and braced herself. “Come in.”The door swung open, and Lucas stepped inside with his usual calculated composure, his face unreadable.But Elena wasn’t fooled.Beneath that calm façade, his sharp gaze carried an undercurrent of distrust—a silent, relentless accusation.He closed the door behind him with a quiet click, crossed his arms over his chest, and fixed her with a steady stare. "We need to talk."Elena leaned back in her chair, forcing herself to appear unaffected. "I can't imagine we have much to say to each other."Lucas let out a dry laugh, though there was no amusement in his eyes. "You’d be surprised."He moved forward, resting his hands on her desk, leaning just enough to make hi
