Once upon a time, Emily Stone was gentle, obedient—easily molded into the perfect wife. Even after becoming Mrs. Scott, she existed only in the shadow of her husband Damian’s mistress.
After two years of humiliation, Damian finally spoke the words that sealed her fate. "Emily, I'm tired of this. I want to give Melody a wedding." Without shedding a tear, Emily signed the divorce papers, walked away with nothing, and became the laughingstock of the city.
Damian married the love of his life, yet he couldn't escape Emily’s ghost. When news arrived that she had perished at sea, regret consumed him.
Five years later, at a high-stakes auction, Damian's world stopped. There, standing before him, was the woman he thought dead. His Emily.
As his eyes darkened with a desperate hunger, one thought consumed him—this time, he wouldn’t let her go.
