Rachel Foster’s carefully constructed world is crumbling around her. Her fiancé, Jasper, faces imminent ruin, caught in a web of accusations and financial turmoil. Desperate to save him, Rachel is left with only one option: Kingsly Scott, the man she abandoned years ago, a man now transformed into a billionaire forged in the fires of betrayal.
Kingsly agrees to help, but his offer is far from charitable. He hasn't forgotten Rachel's decision to choose wealth over their love, and he intends to extract a price more devastating than she could ever imagine. His terms are brutal, forcing Rachel to confront the ghosts of their shared past and the devastating consequences of her choices.
As she navigates the treacherous landscape of Kingsly's world, a world of power plays, high-stakes deals, and simmering resentments, Rachel finds herself caught in a dangerous game of manipulation and desire. The lines between love and revenge blur as old flames are rekindled, threatening to consume them both.
But Kingsly's motivations are shrouded in mystery. Is he truly driven by revenge, or does a flicker of their former love still burn within his hardened heart? Rachel must unravel his true intentions while battling her own conflicting emotions. Can she reconcile the man she once loved with the ruthless tycoon he has become?
Meanwhile, a shadow lurks beneath the surface. Rachel’s brother, Noah, is entangled in a risky venture within Kingsly’s empire, a venture that could have far-reaching consequences. A conspiracy is brewing, threatening to expose secrets and destroy everything Rachel holds dear.
Caught between her loyalty to Jasper, her reawakened feelings for Kingsly, and the looming threat of unknown enemies, Rachel must make impossible choices. Will she sacrifice her own future to protect the ones she loves? Or will she become another casualty in Kingsly's ruthless game?

CEO's Secret Play

Rachel never expected to see Jasper before her departure.

She had planned to call him after settling abroad.

As it turned out, Jasper learned about her leaving from Noah.

After their embrace in the airport hall, he gently and carefully released her, mindful of the belly she had hidden under loose clothing.

"So, where do you plan to live from now on?" he asked.

Faced with the person she was most reluctant to leave in the city, she feigned an easygoing demeanor: "Noah and Diana are in the U.S.; I'll visit them first and then decide where I want to go."

She knew he was genuinely worried because no one else cared for her more.

"I can put my work on hold and accompany you to the U.S.," Jasper offered, his gentle tone underscoring his concern.

"Noah will send someone to pick me up at the airport; you don't need to worry," she reassured him with a smile.
