Corrine is abandoned at the altar when her groom runs off to save another woman, calling their love just a “business deal.” Humiliated and broken, she wanders into the rain and nearly gets hit by a car, only to be rescued by a mysterious man. Is this the end of her story… or the beginning of something far bigger?
He slowly turned back, the pain evident as he touched his cheek, his eyes burning with dark intensity. In that heated moment, Kaiden, spurred on by the liquor, strutted forward with a bold, self-assured demeanor. “Hey, what’s gotten into you, slapping someone in public? Do you have any idea who this is? This man is…”…

Within the cozy room, an elegantly dressed woman leisurely enjoyed her coffee on the couch. “Ah, you’ve arrived,” Karina exclaimed, a look of relief washing over her as she saw Corrine. She approached Corrine and introduced her to the woman on…
Bruce took Leah’s hand firmly. “Let’s go look at another store.” His tone left no room for argument. “No!” Rita interjected, her voice rising. “Leah loves this dress, and it would look absolutely stunning on her! It’d be a shame to pass it up. Don’t you want her to look beautiful as your fiancee?” “Enough!”…

The two women exchanged a knowing glance before turning to head upstairs. But just as they took a step, Bruce’s voice rang out behind them. “Corrine, don’t…

His breath traced the curve of her neck, sending a shiver down her spine, a delicate blush blooming across her cheeks. “I just feel like things are moving too fast between us,” she murmured, her voice barely a whisper. “You do?” Nate raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in his eyes, his smile hinting at…
After hanging up the phone, Corrine’s heart raced as if she had been caught red-handed sneaking a forbidden treat. She exhaled slowly, trying to steady herself, and turned her gaze toward Nate, who sat in the wicker chair with his usual unruffled composure.
