On their third anniversary, Allison’s husband coldly asks for a divorce solely because his first love has returned. After three years of loyalty and sacrifice, she’s cast aside without hesitation. But Colton doesn’t know the truth: Allison isn’t a simple housewife, but a hidden genius. And walking away may bring the biggest loss to his life.
“I’ve filed for divorce.” Colton Stevens walked over impatiently, his frustration almost palpable. “Four million should set you up for life.” Allison Clarke’s face froze for a moment. Her nails dug painfully into her palm as she fought to keep her composure. “It’s our third wedding anniversary today,” she said, her voice barely above a…
Years ago, when Kaelyn had made a blunder that nearly put the Stevens family at odds with Kellan Lloyd, the eldest son of the Lloyd family, it was Allison who had smoothed things over. She had negotiated a deal with Kellan, who was paralyzed, securing the crucial land for the Stevens’ commercial project. Back then,…
“Allison, the truth is, the Stevens family doesn’t deserve someone like you.” Rebecca’s voice softened, thick with the weight of emotion as she sensed Allison’s exhaustion. “Divorce is a process, but until it’s settled, you’ll stay with me. You’re like a sister to me, anyway.” Allison managed a small smile. “Okay.” Growing up in an…
“Don’t worry. We’ve got an hour before the event kicks off. I’ve got people watching the Charisma Company guests for you. You might as well have some fun while you wait.” She pointed across the room at a striking man. “Speaking of fun, I think I’ll go dance with that fine piece over there.” Allison…
Allison’s expression remained stone-cold. “Sober up and get lost!” Danny screamed in agony as he crumpled to the floor, drenched and utterly humiliated. His face was a mess of blood, tears, and snot, his shattered wrists rendering him defenseless. “You psycho! Do you even know who I am?” he spat out between ragged breaths, his…
Her voice was soft, her fingers intertwined with Colton’s as if claiming him as her own. “But we’re truly in love.” Allison propped her chin on her hand and asked, “So?” It seemed to throw them for a loop; Colton looked taken aback by Allison’s calm indifference. He drew Melany closer, wrapping his arms around…
In an instant, she drove her elbow sharply into his ribs, her right hand gliding down his arm and locking onto his wrist. Her fingers expertly pressed into his pressure points, disarming him with a swift and practiced motion. Within seconds, the tables had turned! Allison, now holding the gun, let her finger dance lightly…
But Kellan wasn’t listening. His body moved with primal urgency, like a predator savoring its rare catch. Moments ago, they had weapons at each other’s vitals, yet now, they were tangled in a dangerous rhythm, one fueled by something far more consuming than hatred. “Don’t move!” His voice, rough and low, filled the air. His…
With a calm that surprised even her, she said, “Instead of wasting time accusing me of playing games, how about we get this over with?” Allison didn’t wait for a reply. She pulled out her documents, including the divorce papers, as she strode toward the courthouse doors, her face unreadable. “I have no intention of…
“If you had even half a brain, you’d know when to stop talking,” Allison said, her voice steady but laced with razor-sharp precision. “But I suppose that’s asking too much.
