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?
Entering the bedroom, Greg found it empty. And so was the bathroom. Where did she go?
As time ticked by, Greg's brow furrowed in concern. Had Valerie slept in one of the guest rooms or had she left the house altogether? He shook his head, she couldn't have left. He was in the living room and didn't see her leave.
He checked the rest of the house, and Greg's anxiety dissipated slightly, knowing she was still in the house, in Ruby's room, lying there on the child's bed with her birthday outfit still on.
He wished to speak with her, but he also knew that whatever he said would feel wrong to her, so, he returned to Valerie's room, hoping she'd join him after she was calm.
Seconds turned minutes, and minutes turned hours, still, she didn't show up. He waited all night and she didn't show up. The fact that she didn't return to their bedroom stung.
He couldn't shake the feeling that their argument had driven a deeper wedge between them.
