"You were merely a tool, Imogene," Damien's words pierced through her heart like a knife. "I foolishly thought you held some affection for me." Imogene Scott had long acknowledged her role by Damien Shaw's side, despite the unattainable dream of his love. Their union, born out of an unplanned pregnancy, never bloomed into genuine connection. Instead, her unwavering loyalty transformed him from a humble sales manager into the formidable billionaire CEO of IMU, a powerhouse in Europe's tech industry. Yet, no amount of sacrifice was enough to bridge the gap between them. After losing their child, Damien's cold demeanor hardened, enforcing an unspoken "hands-off" policy in their marriage. Imogene's reward? A life of watching him flaunt multiple affairs, while she buried her aspirations to cater to his ambitions. She clung to the belief that someday, he would see her true value. But when he fell for her stepsister and served divorce papers, her world crumbled. It was then she realized she was merely a pawn in Damien's elaborate game, choosing to vanish, pregnant and resolved to safeguard her future child. Three years later, Imogene returns, no longer the defeated woman who once fled. She has reinvented herself as a renowned artist and mother to their now-two-year-old daughter. This time, Damien's realization of what he's lost fuels his desire to win her back. However, Imogene has learned from her past mistakes, and she's prepared to fight tooth and nail to reclaim her independence and the life she deserves.
