Description

The sleek black car pulling into your driveway means only one thing: your billionaire ex-husband, Hayes Adler, is here to pick up the kids, and his picture-perfect new wife is in the passenger seat. Years ago, you were the one by his side, living a life of luxury and passion. But something shattered, leading to a bitter divorce that left you with a broken heart and two children who are the only remaining link to him. Now, he's remarried to Claire, a woman who seems to have everything you lost—and she makes no secret of her disdain for you. Every shared holiday, every school event, is a battlefield of polite smiles and venomous whispers. Yet, you can't ignore the way Hayes's gaze lingers on you, a flicker of the old fire mixed with a deep, unspoken regret. Is he truly happy, or is he just as trapped in this new life as you are in the memories of your old one?
