When Remi's life was thrown into turmoil by her cousin's leukemia diagnosis, she found herself trapped in an arranged marriage with the enigmatic billionaire CEO, Rowan Vaughn. A man she once harbored feelings for, he now viewed her as a potential gold digger due to a past betrayal. Struggling in this toxic relationship, Remi yearned for the Rowan she once knew. In a moment of desperation, she decided the only way out was to seek divorce. On one particularly drunken night, the situation escalated. "Come here, Remi," he slurred, his gaze fixed on her with an icy intensity. Despite my hesitation, I couldn't resist the pull. "You're breathtaking," he murmured, his smirk revealing a mixture of arrogance and hurt. "That's not enough to justify what you've done," I retorted. His smirk deepened. "True. But you still love me." "Your illusions are misplaced," I shot back, attempting to break free. As I turned to leave, his hand snaked out, drawing me closer until our faces were mere inches apart. "If loving me were a crime, I'd plead guilty," he whispered darkly.
