"I'll give you six hours. Sign these divorce papers, Alexandra-this marriage ends here."

"What's the reason?" I think this is really crazy.

"I met Stella-my first love, the woman I never really got over."

The room thins to a hush.

My lungs hitch. Sound tunnels. I faint.

A doctor steps in, gentler than his clipboard. "Alexandra, you're pregnant-about two months and twins."

******

Five years after I vanished, I return as the secretive CEO of Velvet Vixen, a designer who rebuilt her life in silence. I'm Alexandra- a single-mom CEO hiding secret twins their father never met. I promised myself two things: protect my children, and never forgive the man who broke me.

Then Liam walks back into my world-a billionaire rival in public, the husband who left divorce papers in five years ago in private. A sabotaged shipment, a viral fashion-week scandal, and a DNA test slam us together. Tenderness tilts into danger, enemies-to-lovers heat collides with second-chance stakes.

I want revenge and control. He wants answers and a second chance. Our twins want what neither of us will admit-a family. I must choose: keep my heart armored, or risk everything for love. My runway, my rules, our reckoning. This time, I write the ending myself.
