### Chapter 1

I was on my way to try on wedding dresses when my fiancé called. "The wedding's off. Vivian's pregnant and her fiancé dumped her."

"A child can't grow up without a father. I'm going to marry Vivian first. I'll make it up to you in a couple of years."

"She and I are like brother and sister. Don't overthink this."

The air locked in my chest. My mind went blank. The line was already dead.

But I'd already seen it. The chat between Stewart and his assistant, left open on the study computer.

"Vivian came back from abroad for me. If I betrayed her to marry that woman, imagine how devastated she'd be."

His assistant had replied right away: "Aren't you worried Miss Hughes will be disappointed enough to leave you?"

Stewart's voice message dripped with contempt:

"Delgado Corp is about to go public. I'll be worth billions. You really think she'd walk away from that?"

So rather than betray Vivian, he'd betray the woman who'd waited six years.

Six years of devotion, and none of it could compete with one backward glance from his childhood sweetheart.

Fine. Then I'd give them exactly what they wanted.
