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
"Where is Claire?" I asked straight away in a cold tone.
Damian raised an eyebrow as he was clearly caught off guard. "What!? Don't tell me you are really here to meet Claire!" he exclaimed. There was a hint of mockery in his tone. "I wasn't aware you were such a big fan of that little model."
I narrowed my eyes as the feeling of irritation surged through me. "You were also not aware that I was married?" I scoffed, my words laced with bitterness as I gave him a cold stare.
Damian blinked, his smirk fading slightly. "Well… It was you who didn't inform me," he said defensively. "If you had, I would have met my sister-in-law myself. And I wouldn't have let her leave you, no matter what! Maybe then you wouldn't have turned into the monster you are today." He placed a hand on my shoulder and clearly enjoyed my misery.
"Stop bluffing!" I snapped, shrugging his hand off. "Just lead the way."
