Once an heiress with everyone at her beck and call, Valerie lost everything after a single revelation. Six years later, Valerie is back to marry the 'poor' man her five years old daughter, Ruby has chosen to be her daddy. In the process, Valerie seeks to reclaim all that belongs to her and also to exact revenge on her enemies. What Valerie didn't see coming was that she would unlock a pandora box of secrets that would throw her and her daughter's life into more chaos. Greg Sinclair, the highly sought-after young billionaire, pretended to be a poor construction worker in order to become a part of Valerie and Ruby's lives. When he finally wins their trust, will he be able to hold his ground or will he be kicked out by both mother and daughter when his identity is revealed?
Her forehead was slick with sweat, tiny droplets glistening under the lights. Her pale skin seemed translucent, her eyes sunken with exhaustion and tears.
Her fearful eyes darted around the room, like a scared kitten searching for escape. They pleaded with Greg, begging for rescue.
Greg's expression softened, his gaze locking onto hers. His eyes, once blazing with determination, melted into warmth.
"Alright," he whispered, his deep voice gentle. He wrapped his arm around her frail shoulders, pulling her close. He lowered his face and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. "I'm sorry for coming late."
Valerie's body relaxed, her tension easing as she leaned into Greg's warmth. Her grip on his arm loosened, her fingers still trembling.
Mr. Wright's face darkened, his jaw clenched. "You're not taking her anywhere," he growled, his voice menacing.
