Aurora Grey thought she could win her husband, Lucas Rossi's heart, even if it took years. For three long years, she endured his coldness, hoping that one day he would see her as more than just a convenient substitute. But when she reads the headlines announcing Lucas’s return to the city with his ex-girlfriend, Julia Mayhem, the truth hits her like a dagger—she never had a place in his heart. Lucas's affection had always belonged to Julia, and now that she’s back, Aurora knows her time is up. No longer willing to be the woman in the shadows, Aurora takes control of her fate. With a sharp resolve, she demands a divorce, choosing to reclaim her dignity rather than watch the man she loves cherish someone else. But Lucas Rossi isn’t a man who easily lets go of what he considers his. The moment Aurora steps out of his life, he realizes just how deeply she had entwined herself in his heart. Driven by a need to reclaim what he’s lost, Lucas tracks her down, determined to make her see that she belongs with him—and no one else.
Lucas hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open fully.
The room was quiet, everything in its place.
His bed was neatly made, his desk clear except for a few personal items.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but the open door still nagged at him.
He wheeled himself further inside, glancing around, searching for anything that might explain the strange feeling crawling up his spine.
But everything appeared untouched.
Still, Lucas couldn't shake the sense that something wasn't quite right.
He exhaled slowly, his thoughts returning to the odd flashback he'd experienced in the car.
Tossing documents onto a bed—why had that image resurfaced?
And what was it trying to tell him?
Lucas's hand gripped the arm of his wheelchair as he tried to push the thought away.
Whatever it was, it could wait until morning.
For now, all he wanted was rest.
