Theodore Maxwell, a ruthless business tycoon driven by vengeance, plots to marry Alina Roosevelt to kill two birds with one stone: get revenge on her father and inherit everything that was rightfully his. Alina, a budding author with a heart as pure as her prose, was blissfully unaware of Theodore's ulterior motives when she said, "I do."

As Theodore's cunning plan unfolded, he found himself captivated by Alina's charm and kindness. Despite his initial intentions, he couldn't help but admire the woman he had married. But just as unexpected love began to blossom, everything crumbled with Alina’s father, who devised a cunning scheme that shattered the fragile peace in their marriage. Consumed by rage and betrayal, Theodore divorces Alina, blaming her for her father's deceit. 

It's too late to realize that Alina was a mere pawn in her father's malicious game. Regret gnawed at his heart as he desperately searched for her, but she had vanished without a trace. Haunted by the memory of his cruel actions, Theodore is set to find Alina and make amends. And he will stop at nothing. How long will Alina be successful in keeping her little secret hidden?

“I’m not your wife anymore, Theodore!” I yelled, shoving him away from me. He had absolutely no right to march back into my life. 

“Here’s where you are wrong, Alina,” he took dangerous steps towards me until I was pushed against one of the walls, as he held me captive. “You were mine, then. You are mine now. And you, most definitely, will stay mine in the future. Not even you can separate yourself from me, Alina, because you were born to be mine!” And that’s when he smashed his lips against mine in a furious kiss.

Theodore's Regret

“Baby, are you ready? Uncle Eli will be waiting,” I glanced at my baby after applying my lipstick, to see him combing his hair. 


“Yes mummy, almost” he struggled to smoothen out the tangles in his hair. He had a little long hair than normal baby boys that suited him very well. I chuckled, bending down before him and helping him to smoothen out his hair. 


“Thank you, mummy,” he kissed my cheek. 


“Your most welcome honey. You look adorable.” Asher is very fond of selecting his outfits himself, and today he chose to wear a blue checkered shirt with blue jeans. He quickly put on his shoes and I helped him tie his laces. “You look so handsome, baby!” I cooed and my son blushed. He literally blushed and I couldn't t help but melt at the sight. “Let's go.” 


We stepped downstairs to find Thea watching some romcom and stuffing her face with chips. Her eyes fell on Asher and I saw the hearts in them.
