Don't Tell My Husband

I never imagined one evening could cause my world to flip around. But when you're desperate, you gamble. To flee a loveless, stifling marriage, you turn to the embraces of a stranger. She did. One evening Not even strings. But luck? It intended different things.

I was forced to present the ideal wife in public when my controlling husband insisted on a high-profile marriage contract with the largest competitor of his firm to ensure his legacy. Inside the closed walls, my heart fought a battle. And that stranger from my one-night escape burst back into my life precisely when I felt my emotions locked away.

Tall with penetrating eyes that see through every façade and a nasty smile that reminds me of every naughty detail of that forbidden night, he is the rival my husband most worries about. These days, we are caught in a complex web of regrets, resentment, and a passion too strong to ignore. Not sure how to inform my hubby. But how can I prevent him from knowing when every secret I try to bury finds its way back?
