The Billionaire Secret Heir
They say you never forget your first love. I wish I could forget mine.
Five years ago, I ran from my husband, Liam Vance, with his cruel words echoing in my ears and his child growing in my womb. He called me a 'sentimental mistake.' A 'pet' he was done with. I believed him.
I built a new life from the ashes. A beautiful life with my son, Leo, and my gallery, Haven. And I found love again with Xander—my best friend, my rock, the man who taught me that love should be safe, and kind, and real.
I thought the past was behind me.
I was wrong.
Liam is back. But the cold, ruthless man I remember is gone, replaced by a raw, desperate stranger. He looks at me with a hunger that feels like grief. He looks at our son as if he’s seeing a ghost. And he’s tearing apart the peaceful world I built, demanding a place in it.
He says he never stopped loving me.
He says everything was a lie to protect us.
He says the man I thought he was never existed.
And the worst part? A part of me, the foolish, shattered part that never stopped loving him, believes it.
Now, I am torn between two men.
Xander, who represents my future—a future of peace, safety, and unwavering support. He is the home I built for myself.
And Liam, who is my past—a storm of passion, regret, and devastating secrets. He is the home my heart never truly left.
How can I trust the man who destroyed me? But how can I ignore the truth in his eyes, the pain that mirrors my own?
I have to choose. Between the man who saved me, and the man who claims he always loved me. Between the safe harbor, and the tempest that might just be worth drowning in.
This is not a second chance. This is a war for my heart. And no matter who wins, I fear I will be the one who loses.
