A Dangerous Contract With My Ex

About this story

Synopsis

After three years of swallowing humiliation to pay off massive debts, Azura finally got her law license reinstated. She thought she could rebuild her life after her family's scandalous downfall. But on her first day back, her trusted mentor betrayed her. He signed an ironclad contract that forced her to work for her ruthless ex-husband, Killian Sinclair—the very man who had orchestrated her father's arrest and coldly discarded her. Killian trapped her with a twenty-million-dollar penalty, forcing her back under his control just to humiliate her. When she started secretly compiling evidence to appeal her father's case, an arsonist set her apartment on fire. Trapped in the inferno, she was carried out by a mysterious stranger. Waking up in a VIP hospital suite, she thought she had narrowly escaped death. But when a false cardiac arrest alarm went off for her room, a man burst through her door in pure terror, his back bleeding from freshly torn burn wounds. It was Killian. Seeing she was unharmed, his panic instantly hardened into a mask of cold cruelty. "Good. You're not dead yet." Azura stared at his bleeding back in shock. Why would the monster who mercilessly destroyed her family risk his own life in the flames to save hers? Realizing there were deeper secrets hidden beneath his hatred, Azura stopped running. She accepted his case, determined to use his money, his name, and his power to uncover the real truth behind her family's ruin.
