On their second anniversary, Sadie almost tells her husband Noah she’s pregnant until a phone call pulls him away. Minutes later, she sees news of him warmly greeting his ex at the airport. Heartbroken and unsure of her place in his life, Sadie must decide: will she fight for her marriage… or finally choose herself?
“It’s late, and it’s not safe for you to walk home alone. Kyla would understand; she won’t get the wrong idea.” So, he acknowledged that Kyla was his precious sweetheart. The ache in Sadie’s chest grew until it was nearly unbearable. With a forceful twist, Sadie freed her wrist and pivoted sharply to walk away.…
The kitchen’s open layout allowed Sadie a clear view from the sofa. She watched as Noah rolled up his sleeves, exposing his muscular, well-toned forearms. The way he chopped ingredients was pure artistry-fluid, precise, and nearly enchanting to watch. Sadie’s thoughts swirled in chaos-she just couldn’t make sense of him. They were on the brink…

So, it wasn’t Noah. The faint spark of hope that had flickered to life in her chest was ruthlessly snuffed out. A self-deprecating laugh escaped her…
As Sadie watched the exchange, a cold realization washed over her. Kyla was orchestrating a spectacle, a deliberate move to corner her into submission, to strip her of the option to decline. It was a power play meant to showcase dominance, and Sadie was the chosen pawn. Forcing a calm facade, she took a deep…
Ignoring Kyla’s flustered state, Sadie pushed herself to her feet. She knew she needed to leave-now more than ever.

As Sadie rushed for the elevator, her thoughts collided with each other like a…
Platt’s smirk froze on his face as he swiveled toward the door. Standing there was Noah, his figure outlined by the sleek, tailored lines of a dark suit that accentuated his commanding presence. His features were sharp, his expression icy as he surveyed the room with a gaze so frigid it seemed to lower the…
“That’s it?” Noah chuckled dryly, his frustration bubbling to the surface. “Just a ‘thank you’?” “What more do you expect?” Sadie retorted, her confusion evident. “What else should I say?” Noah paused, caught off guard by his own escalating annoyance. He didn’t really know what he expected her to say; it was her nonchalant demeanor…
As the milkshakes dwindled to just two remaining cups, she scanned the room and asked with a soft, inviting voice, “Is there anyone who hasn’t received their milkshake?” Tina exchanged a hesitant glance with Sadie, her expression torn. The weight of loyalty tugged at her heartstrings. Sadie had become more than just a colleague; she…
For her unborn child’s sake, Sadie knew she had to act fast to secure the funds needed for a safe delivery and a fresh start. Leaving Wall Group was a move she had to make. The painful memories and the shadows of a fractured family that clung to this city were too much to bear.…
Sadie was dressed in a chic, understated professional suit, her long hair swept up into an elegant bun that accentuated her delicate neck. She radiated a poised blend of competence and grace.
