Kidnapped and abandoned by the fiancé she loved for five years, Summer realizes his heart has always belonged to someone else. After escaping on her own, she walks away for good—and into the arms of a powerful billionaire who cherishes her without hesitation. Now, as her ex begs for another chance, Summer has already found the love he never deserved.
The abandoned factory was overgrown with weeds. A rusty red sedan sat outside the entrance. Inside, Summer Stewart’s hands were tied behind her back, and a strip of yellow duct tape sealed her lips, muffling her voice into desperate whimpers. Her white dress was stained with dirt, and her slender, pale legs were exposed beneath…
“You… it’s you.” The man before her was Fraser Graham – heir to the Graham Group. If the Larson Group, led by Trevor, was among Havenbrook’s top three financial conglomerates, then the Graham Group was undoubtedly number one. Starting as a banking empire, it had rapidly expanded its investments into real estate, technology, communications, and…
Lifting Summer into his arms, he draped his suit jacket over her, covering her completely. Carrying her inside the villa, he headed straight to the bedroom. After thoroughly satisfying himself, Fraser was in a rare, patient mood. He carefully cleaned her up, dried her hair, and tucked her beneath the silk sheets. In the living…
Even she was at a loss for words. Fraser arched a brow at her. Her long, wavy hair cascaded around her delicate face, her clear eyes carrying a trace of distress. She was undeniably beautiful – her soft, fair skin covered in the marks he had left behind. Fraser’s gaze darkened. He leaned back slightly,…
“I… I didn’t mean to.” Fraser’s lips curled slightly. His smirk was almost lazy, but something about it felt dangerous. “That’s alright.” Summer exhaled, relieved. For now. Then, flipping her over, he pressed her against him, his voice low and commanding against her ear. “This time, you take the lead.” Summer was so startled, her…
She wouldn’t make that mistake again. Her eyes welled up with tears, her voice trembling. “Trevor, I’m sorry. I was being foolish… I got greedy. I forgot that you already have Summer.” Trevor’s expression softened. Summer loved him deeply, but her love was intense, stubborn, suffocating. Sometimes, it exhausted him. Why couldn’t she be soft…
Summer’s face burned. Her heart skipped for reasons she refused to acknowledge. Flustered, she turned her head away and stammered, “W-why are you showering in the morning?” Fraser casually wiped his hair, his deep eyes glancing at her, amusement flickering at the corners of his lips. “Who said I couldn’t?” “N-no, I just meant… put…
For a moment, the air between them felt thick with something unspoken. … The sun was bright overhead as Fraser’s sleek, black Ferrari sped down the road. The scenery blurred past the windows. Summer had planned to take a cab back, but without her phone or wallet, she had no choice but to hitch a…
A dull ache spread through Summer’s chest. Julia always said things like this when she was angry. Summer was the Stewart family’s real daughter. Before she was reunited with them, her name had been Summer Leonard. Twenty-three years ago, Julia Chapman had given birth in a private hospital. At the same time, in another hospital…
“Yeah, what is the Stewart family thinking? They treat the fake daughter like a treasure while their real daughter gets ignored.” “I saw Julia taking Margaret on a shopping spree the other day, buying her tons of luxury goods. She had two bodyguards following her, carrying bags full of designer items.” “Summer is so disappointing.…
