Betrayed by the man she trusted, Khloe discovers her marriage was a lie; and her life, a cruel illusion. Branded barren and used, she walks away with nothing but her dignity. But when she rises to unimaginable power beside another man, the one who broke her realizes too late… he lost everything.
“I’m your uncle, Oscar Morrison,” he introduced himself with a smile. “Get in. I’ll give you a ride.” Up close, Khloe could see the resemblance in his features. But after the ambush she’d just survived, her guard was at an all-time high. “Thank you, but I’ll manage on my own,” she replied, her tone flat…
Khloe turned from the window, her voice calm yet resolute. “Better to have a formidable ally than to fight alone and be devoured. Since the Hunts chose me, I have no reason to refuse.” … That evening, Khloe returned to the Fox residence to find it empty. Trey, Angela, and Pete were all gone. A…
A faint, cold smile touched Khloe’s lips. This was classic Trey. He leaned on her to solve every critical problem, yet never granted her any official authority. She held no shares, not even the title of a mid-level manager. And every time she made a decision in his absence, he would publicly reprimand her in…
The face that met her was arrestingly sharp-defined by razor-sharp brows, a prominent nose, and lips carved with an elegant precision. She stared for a beat longer than was polite, until his cool voice sliced through her daze. “It’s me. Miss Roswell, please have a seat.” “O-oh. Right.” She quickly dropped her gaze, so flustered…

The contracts fell through. You should go in there.” “I know,” Khloe replied with unnerving calm, and pushed the door open. Though Trey…

Her rushed words about their son falling, child’s dramatic cries, had made him drop everything. But at the hospital, all he found was a so minor it had scabbed before he even arrived. “Was it about…
Then, once Khloe showed up, she’d make sure to give her a hard time and properly vent her mother’s anger. The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.
