Chapter 2

I realized I had left something at the house I once shared with Rowen, so I asked the driver to drop me off downstairs. As soon as I stepped out of the car, ready to head straight to the elevator, someone grabbed me from behind.

Rowen clasped my wrist, pulling me into the stairwell, his eyes intense. "Whose car did you just get out of?" he demanded.

"A Lamborghini Aventador. Wrenley's right—you really are just a gold digger," he sneered.

I wrenched my hand free from his grip and slapped him hard across the face. Rowen looked stunned. "You hit me?"

I felt a sense of satisfaction. If it weren't for my years of judo practice, he might have tried hitting me back by now. Ever since the early days of his startup, when he had nothing, to his modest success now, I had been there every step of the way. Out of pride, I never spent a dime from my family.

During our toughest times, Rowen and I lived in a leaky apartment, with the only dry spot being near the door. We pushed the bed over there, cramped together on a single bed, shivering. Those days were physically tough but filled with a sense of happiness.

Anyone else could call me materialistic, but not Rowen. Anyone but him.

Under my unwavering gaze, Rowen looked uneasy, trying to placate me by lifting my hand to his cheek. "Baby, feel it, you really hurt me."

His eyes were pleading, his hand gently resting on my stomach. "Don’t be mad, you're still pregnant," he reminded me, watching my reaction.

"When are we setting the wedding date?" he asked cautiously.

I pulled my hand away. "There won't be one."

I returned to New York with two scuffed suitcases and a broken heart, ready to end my three-year exile as a ghost wife. All I wanted was to sign the divorce papers, move my dying mother to hospice, and vanish from the billionaire Spears family forever. But the moment I stepped into the penthouse, I saw a pair of expensive red-bottomed heels by the door that weren't mine. Carlyle, the husband who hadn't spoken to me in years, was already moving his mistress into our home before the ink on our separation agreement was even dry. The humiliation was only the beginning. Carlyle treated me like an intruder in my own house, yet he forced me to attend high-society galas as his "perfect" wife to protect his reputation. When I tried to leave, he froze my bank accounts, leaving me unable to pay for my mother’s life-saving treatment. He watched my desperation with cold, predatory eyes, flaunting his new romance in the tabloids while keeping me trapped in his freezing home. My mother’s doctors warned me she was running out of time, but Carlyle only used her illness as a leash to keep me from running. I didn't understand why he was doing this to me. I had clearly signed away the money and the name, so why wouldn't he let me go? Why did he have me watched for years if he hated me so much? Why was he flaunting another woman while refusing to sign the papers that would set us both free? What did he want from a woman he claimed to despise? When I finally cornered him with the final decree, Carlyle didn't pick up the pen. He snatched the folder, a flicker of cold triumph in his icy eyes. "The terms are wrong, Beatrix. I'm adding an employment clause. You’re going to work for me, in my office, where I can keep you under my thumb 24/7." He didn't just refuse to sign the papers; he had just turned my divorce into a permanent prison sentence.
