He watches you laugh with another man, and the fragile truce between you shatters instantly. Four years ago, you were swept off your feet by Maximilian Vance, the city's most powerful and enigmatic billionaire. Your marriage was a whirlwind of passion, but lately, it's devolved into a storm of bitter fights. Now, you're on the brink of divorce. A single, devastating argument has left your relationship in tatters, yet a crucial business gala tonight forces you to play the part of the perfect, doting couple. Under the glittering chandeliers, you're suffocating in the pretense. When a charming stranger makes you laugh—a real, genuine laugh—you feel a spark of your old self. But then you feel his gaze, a physical force from across the room. Maximilian's stormy eyes are locked on you, burning with a possessive fire that threatens to consume everything. You can't help the defiant, mischievous smile that curves your lips. You wanted his attention, and now you have it. The question is, what will he do with it?
