Her only mistake, was loving the wrong person. She's an orphan, lost her mom at birth and dad five years later. Her aunt became her guardian and got her into modeling school, where she met Jackson. He not only became her manager, he won her heart and they got married in the space of three months against her aunt’s wish. Jackson gave her love, beauty, money... but little did she know it was only a façade. A bait to lure her and hide his arrogant and obsessive heart. Their marriage lasted four years and she endured his abuse until one night when she finally got a chance to escape. Moving into Atlanta seemed like a fresh start until she crossed paths with Jake Robbins, the handsome billionaire heir. "Make me, yours, marry me, Laura." Jake let out. "What?!" Laura opened her eyes wide, staring at the man smirking at her. Saying the most sacred words, using the most casual tone. “We are in the middle of nowhere for goodness sake!” she added “The next minute is not guaranteed, so why wait?” He shrugged. Never in a million years did she ever imagine talking about marriage with the grumpy and arrogant billionaire heir, not after the hell she went through in her traumatic former life. However, with Jake, there was something different, but what happens when her past comes to light? Find out in this story!

I tapped my fingers gently on the desk while I waited for the call to the HR department to connect. I had made up my mind. Laura had been distant for weeks now, ever since she walked in on me with that woman. It wasn't like her to avoid me totally like that. Sure, our relationship had never been straightforward, but she still always kept things professional, no matter how complicated things got between them. This time, though, her avoidance was different. She wouldn't even look me in the eye, and I couldn't deny the tension that had built up between them.

I sighed deeply as the HR manager finally answered. 

"Good afternoon, Sir. What can I help you with?"

"I need someone to accompany me on my business trip tomorrow," Isaid, my tone clipped. "Laura's taking some time off. Get someone else ready."

There was a brief pause before the manager replied, "We have a promising intern, Lisa. She's been doing well, very sharp. I can send her with you."
