Cassidy Calista never begged for love.Not even from Ezekiel Salvador, the cold, enigmatic heir to the world’s largest pharmaceutical empire.Their marriage was built on power, not passion. Four years of shared silence and a single rule: Fall for someone else, and walk away.So when Cassidy caught Zeke with another woman, she didn’t wait for an explanation. She filed for divorce.And vanished.What Zeke didn’t know? She left pregnant.Now, after four long years, she’s back. And she’s not alone.By her side walks a little girl. Bright, curious, with the same defiant spark in her eyes as Cassidy once had.Zeke watches, frozen. His world tilts.Zeke had spent every year trying and failing to forget her. But the moment he sees her again, something inside him snaps. The fire he buried returns…And then he sees him.A man. Tall. Steady. Standing too close. Speaking to Cassidy in a voice only intimacy can shape. The little girl runs to him, laughing, and he catches her like he’s done it a thousand times.She says nothing. Offers no explanations. And suddenly, Zeke is no longer the man with all the power.Because now, he wants answers.Whose child is she?Has Cassidy moved on?Is she married to another man?And the most terrifying question of all, Is he already too late?

There was no such thing as marriage in Adrian Williams’ dictionary. Love? Even worse. As far as Adrian was concerned, his life was already perfect. Women? Money? Easy. Adrian could get both without even trying.But everything spiraled when his beloved grandfather, lying sick in the hospital, made a final request. He wanted Adrian to get married. Immediately.Left with no choice, Adrian had to add that cursed word marriage into his life. Desperate and out of options, he suddenly proposed to the last person anyone would expect. Bianca, his secretary.Bianca Valencia never imagined that her boss, the cold and mysterious playboy, would ever propose to her. And the reason? Because she wasn’t interested in him. Seriously? What kind of logic was that?Feeling bad for him and his grandpa, Bianca said yes.Neither Adrian nor Bianca could predict what would come next. They couldn’t see the future. They weren’t in control.Because love doesn’t always knock politely. Sometimes, it crashes in uninvited. And sometimes, it shows up in the last person you ever expected.Just like life. Messy, unpredictable, and always shifting with the seasons.
