My life had already turned into a dead-end rut.

I've always had an innate aversion to sticky textures—when I wore gloves to learn baking, my teacher snapped, "How can you be a chef if you won't even touch ingredients?"

The world wants answers about the baby that never was. But more dangerous than the media frenzy is the man standing at my door, asking for what I can never give him: a second chance.

I was wearing my engagement dress, Tyler's diamond ring sparkling on my finger, accepting congratulations from everyone around me.

Until Sophie called, sobbing.

"Emma! Ryan collapsed coughing up blood!"

In that moment, my world came crashing down.

I abandoned a room full of guests, abandoned my fiancé Tyler, and rushed to the hospital like a madwoman. Tyler shouted my name behind me, his voice...

“Evelyn, I can make you feel more fucked and satisfied than your ex-husband ever could.”

As the rhythm of our bodies quickened, I groaned and grasped the hair of the man above me. Ryan’s hand gripped and tormented my breasts, his thumb teasing my nipple, while his other hand pressed urgently against my clitoris.

“No matter who you were in the past, you belong to me now. Only to me.”
