I sold my body to my husband, Cade Sterling.
One hundred thousand dollars. That was his price for a night with me. The only thing keeping our son, Leo, alive.
My stepmother whispered lies in his ear, and he believed them. He forced another woman into our bed while I was forced onto an operating table.
"You're pregnant," the nurse said, her voice a sterile blade. "Mr. Sterling has requested a termination."
Then, I was forced to watch my son Leo, my only reason for living, leap from a cliff to save me from further torment.
He was gone.
My husband had murdered our first child, and now our second. There was nothing left to live for.
In the cold, scarlet water of the bathtub, I finally let go.
But as darkness claimed me, I didn't know the truth was a far more cruel and twisted thing than I could have ever imagined.
And that Cade Sterling, my tormentor, was about to pay a price far greater than money could ever cover.

His Ruinous Price

To Kendra’s utter shock, Cade had rushed out to save Aria’s life at the critical moment, without a shred of hesitation.


Unconsciously, Kendra’s eyes filled with tears of frustrated disbelief. How could Cade love Aria that much?


She threw the van into reverse and was about to accelerate again, determined to finish the job as long as Aria was still breathing.


However, Logan arrived just in time with a group of men, cutting off her escape route. Worried that they would catch her, Kendra quickly swerved the van and sped off toward the southern outskirts of the city.


Logan didn’t pursue her himself, his priority being Cade’s life-threatening injuries, but he immediately dispatched his subordinates to tail her vehicle.


Anxiously, Kendra drove recklessly, weaving through traffic in a desperate panic, not wanting to be caught by Cade’s men. She let out a small sigh of relief when she thought she had finally shaken them.
