When we stepped off the private jet, Antonia was already on the tarmac, waving from a distance.

The moment Alyssa saw him, she sprinted into his arms.

Antonia scooped her up, then pulled me into their embrace.

His voice was a low, possessive rumble. "Baby, why were you gone so long? Did you forget you have a husband waiting for you? I was going crazy missing you."

With that, he leaned in to kiss me.

The thought of that mouth having kissed another woman made my stomach turn.

I subtly angled my head away. "Don't. There are people watching."

A shadow crossed Antonia's face.

Our daughter giggled. "Papa, you only missed Mama? You didn't miss me?"

"Of course I miss my little principessa! Let's go home and see what Papa has for you!"

I watched them walk ahead of me, a perfect picture of a father and daughter.

If I hadn't overheard that phone call, would I have gone my whole life without knowing?

Back at the penthouse, the apartment was immaculate.

My eyes immediately snagged on the empty space in the living room where my favorite Impressionist painting used to hang.

"Where is my painting?"

Antonia froze for a second before his expression smoothed over. "The cleaner accidentally damaged it, so I bought you a new one. What do you think? Not bad for my taste, huh?"

I said nothing.

This wasn't his taste.

After all our years together, I knew Antonia couldn't tell a Monet from a placemat.

Another woman had been in our home. I could only imagine what they'd done in the living room to "damage" my painting.

I refused to let my mind linger on it, afraid I would lose control right then and there.

Standing at the bedroom door with my suitcase, I hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Antonia asked, walking over.

I shook my head and stepped inside.

The bedroom was different. The sheets and duvet cover were brand new.

If I hadn't seen that social media post, I might have convinced myself I was imagining things.

Antonia wrapped his arms around me from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder. "Baby, I missed you like crazy. Don't leave for that long again, not even for our daughter. I can't sleep without you. Look at the dark circles under my eyes."

My father gave me an ultimatum: marry a man I despise or lose my entire inheritance. I chose to run, boarding a private jet with no intention of looking back. But his reach is absolute. The phone buzzed before we even left New York airspace. "Send me a picture with Sterling now," his voice barked, "or I'm calling your pilot to turn that jet around." I faked the photo and fled to Las Vegas, my last resort. My mission was simple: find my father's illegitimate son, the one secret that could break his hold over me. My only lead was a grainy picture of a ruthless fixer, a man who cleaned up my father's messes. I found him in a desolate diner, a giant of a man surrounded by a wall of guards. I gambled everything on a single coin toss for the information I needed. He saw right through my desperate bluff. He leaned in close, his voice a low, gravelly rasp. "In my city, the house always wins." I was left standing there, humiliated and defeated. But as he turned to leave, he glanced over his shoulder. "But you're lucky. Today, I'm just curious what Howard Bright's daughter is doing so far from home." He had seen me not as a threat, but as a curiosity. I had lost the battle, but I wasn't done yet. I was no longer running. I was hunting.

Desperate for a way out, she signed a prenuptial agreement in a rundown diner to marry a complete stranger. Josiah Vance claimed to be a bankrupt, failed IT programmer. He offered to be her legal shield, and in return, she let him sleep on her cramped apartment couch. But the nightmare only escalated. Grant, her wealthy tormentor, cornered them at a dinner party. He poured red wine all over Josiah's cheap thrift-store shirt, mocking him as a pathetic parasite living off a public nurse's meager salary. The entire room laughed, watching Flora's new husband endure the ultimate public humiliation. They didn't know that to help Josiah start over, Flora had just emptied her entire life savings of fifty thousand dollars, leaving herself with exactly eighty-four dollars.
