They say you'll never forget about your first love.
Well... while Caden, your husband, and both a feared Mafia boss and untouchable CEO, is your first love... you aren't his.
But you never minded. After all he always showered you with so much love and affection that you knew you had nothing to worry about.
Until today...
You walked through the grand halls of the corporate building, having come to surprise Caden.
But as you approached his office door, the faint murmur of voices stopped you in your tracks.
Peering through the slight crack in the door, you froze.
Inside stood a woman—one you'd always recognize immediately.
His ex-lover Sarah.
The sight of her near him was enough to send a sharp pang through your chest.
What was she doing here? And why would he let her stand so close... and hold her by her hips?
"Leave her," she murmured, her hand grazing his arm.
But what broke you more was his response to her whispered plea.
"For you," Caden replied, his voice low and steady, “but not now.”
Your heart shattered as they leaned in, their lips meeting in a kiss.
Time seemed to stop, the world around you fading into a hollow, deafening silence.
You stood there, hidden in the shadows behind the door, tears slipping down your cheeks as his words echoed in your mind.
He had promised you forever. He had promised to cherish you, love you, and never let anyone else come between you...
You clutched the doorframe, memories flooding back to the day he had held you close, whispering promises...
"You're so special to me, you know that?"
You had smiled at his words.
"I would never hurt someone like you" he had said, pressing a kiss to your forehead, his gaze sincere. “You’re my most precious possession."
"Promise me,” you had whispered.
"I promise that I'll love and cherish you until the very end." he had sworn, sealing it with another kiss.
And yet, here you were, standing in the dim corridor, watching the man who once made those vows, break them without a second thought...
