Critical

Sage Monroe lost everything when her father's company collapsed in scandal. Desperate and broke, she applies for a job at the one place she swore she'd never go. Greyson Enterprises. Run by her stepbrother Kaid, the cold billionaire who's made it clear he hates her family. But Kaid doesn't offer her a job. He offers her a deal. A contract marriage to save her family and his reputation. She'll play the devoted wife in public while he uses her to complete his revenge against her father. What Sage doesn't know is that Kaid destroyed her father's company. That he's been planning this for years. That the car accident that killed his mother and paralyzed his sister wasn't an accident at all but murder orchestrated by James Monroe. As hate turns to obsession and fake marriage becomes real passion, Sage discovers she's pregnant. But before she can tell Kaid, his mistress Vivian pushes her down the stairs. The baby is lost and Sage's world shatters. Then the truth comes out. Vivian isn't just Kaid's ex. She's James Monroe's illegitimate daughter. Sage's half sister. And she's been playing both sides, manipulating Kaid's revenge to destroy both families and take Greyson Enterprises for herself. Now Sage and Kaid must choose between vengeance and love. Between destroying each other and saving what's left of their broken families. Because the real enemy has been hiding in plain sight all along.

Sa isang maliit na isla na tinatawag na Tabon nakatira si Lavender, isang simpleng dalagang sanay sa tahimik at payak na buhay. Isang gabi, habang inuutusan siyang puntahan ang kaniyang ama sa dalampasigan, natagpuan niya ang isang estrangherong lalaki—basang-basa, sugatan, at halos walang malay. Tinulungan niya ito at doon niya natuklasang wala itong maalala—hindi kung sino siya, saan galing, o kahit ang sariling pangalan. Ngunit isang bagay ang siguradong malinaw: hindi siya ordinaryong tao. Sa mamahaling suot, ginto niyang relo, at tindig na tila sanay sa karangyaan, malinaw na malayo ang pinanggalingan niya sa simpleng mundo ni Lavender. Sa paglipas ng mga araw, unti-unting nabuo ang isang koneksyon sa pagitan nila, kahit hindi alam ng lalaki ang sarili niyang nakaraan. Ang hindi alam ni Lavender—ang lalaking sinagip niya ay si Adrian Zevion Alcantara, ang nawawalang tagapagmana ng isang malakihang negosyo sa siyudad, na tinutugis ng mga taong gustong kontrolin ang yaman at kapangyarihan ng kaniyang pamilya. Ngunit sa muling pagbabalik ng kaniyang alaala, kailangang pag-desisyunan ni Adrian kung saan siya kabilang—sa marangyang mundong pinagmula niya o sa simpleng buhay na nagbigay sa kaniya ng bagong dahilan para mabuhay… at magmahal.

The air in the penthouse was thick with unspoken words and the lingering heat of a shared victory. He stood before her, the ice in his gaze finally melted, revealing a raw vulnerability that stole the breath from her lungs. “This wasn’t part of the contract,” he murmured, his voice a rough caress as his thumb traced the line of her jaw. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a frantic bird against the gilded cage of their agreement. “I know.” His fingers tangled in the hair at the nape of her neck, tilting her face up to his. The world narrowed to the space between them, to the shocking warmth of his skin against hers. “Then tell me to stop, Ivy. Give me the rules. Give me the clause.” She should. Every instinct for self-preservation screamed at her to rebuild the walls, to remember he was her enemy, her jailer, her temporary husband. But as she looked into the stormy grey depths of his eyes, she saw not the ruthless CEO, but the man who had just looked at her daughter as if she were the most precious thing in the world. So, she didn’t speak. Instead, she rose onto her toes, closing the distance, her lips a breath away from his in a silent, devastating answer. The first kiss was not a conquest, but a surrender. It was not about revenge or contracts. It was a question, and in the shuddering breath he released against her mouth, she found her answer. The cold, platinum wedding band finally felt warm against her skin.
