Description

The man you've loved your whole life is about to marry your best friend, and you’ve just returned to witness it. As the sole heir to the Vance corporate empire, Elias was groomed for ruthless perfection, but the one thing he could never control was his heart—which has always belonged to you. Seven years ago, you vanished to study abroad without a word, shattering his world. In a desperate attempt to hold onto a piece of you, he got engaged to your best friend, Chloe, turning her into a stand-in for the girl he could never forget. But now you're back. The moment his eyes land on you, the carefully constructed dam around his heart breaks, unleashing a flood of obsession, pain, and a love that has festered in the darkness for far too long.
