Claire Reed thought she married the man of her dreams, Evander Kensington, but she had no idea that their marriage was built on a lie; a family vow that trapped him by her side. His heart, however, belonged to another woman, his white lotus. No matter how hard Claire tried to win Evander’s love, he only grew colder, and his family treated her like she didn’t exist. When she lost their unborn child, Claire’s world shattered. She wanted to see Evander, but he didn't bother to check on her. Instead, he went to meet that white lotus. Unable to bear the betrayal, she decided to free Evander from this marriage, leaving behind a letter and divorce papers, claiming she now had someone else she loved! ~~~~ "You’re mine, and I’ll never let you go!” he declared, his voice dark with possessiveness. “But I don’t want you anymore! You can have Susan—I’m now in love with someone else!” Claire shot back, her words sharp and final. "You can't be with anyone. Do you even know how sleepless nights I've without you?" Evander's hold on her tightened. "I'll see how you become some else when I'll claim you," he pronounced before crashing his lips on her.
Evander's POV
"Dad! You never talked about your family before, but I never thought you could be so cruel to your own son, especially when you have given us so much warmth and love!" The young boy stepped forward, his voice shaking with anger as he spoke in my defense.
I froze. I didn't expect him to stand up for me, especially not so boldly. It was shocking, to say the least, and for a moment, I couldn't decide how to react.
"It's a matter between adults! Kids should stay out of it!" My father barked, his tone sharp as he tried to shut his son down.
