Twelve Years a Shadow, Forever an Astor
For twelve years, I was Reid Blackwood's secret. His business partner, his lover, the architect of his empire. And while I was pregnant with our child, he cheated.
So I vanished.
Five years later, we met again at a charity gala.
Reid’s gaze swept over my out-of-season gown. Then, with a smirk, he announced his engagement to the wealthy heiress Lori Lancaster. He followed this by suggesting, as if tossing a stray dog a bone, that I could come back as his mistress.
I scoffed.
Just then, my phone rang. My daughter, Kira, her voice syrupy-sweet, was calling for her bedtime story. "Mommy," she pleaded.
Reid’s expression shifted instantly. A familiar, possessive fire lit his eyes. He was certain this was our child—proof that I still loved him.
I met his gaze for a long moment. Then I threw the contents of my wine glass across his handsome, shameless face.
He didn’t know the child I’d lost had died because of his betrayal. And he had no idea that Kira was the treasured daughter of my new husband: the most powerful man in New York, Julian Astor.
