He’s determined to find the perfect woman, but none of them have measured up. Enter Adalyn West, Damian’s long-time personal assistant.

Harriett Edwards has been in love with Damien Daniels since childhood, so when both their parents arrange for them to be married, she gladly accepts even though she was well aware that it wasn’t what Damien wanted. For the three years of their marriage, she devoted her life to him with the hope that she would be able to change his mind and eventually get him to fall in love with her. It all comes crashing down when someone fabricates a picture of her cheating with Damien’s brother, Adrian. After seeing the pictures, he coldly said. “I want a divorce!” And even when she confessed her love to him, his reply was cold and hurtful. “I know. It doesn’t matter. I don’t love you.” What he didn’t know was that in her hand were pregnancy test results from a mistake he made due to his drunken state. Years later, they both meet at a friend’s wedding and he is shocked to see her with a set of identical twins that looked just like him. “Are they mine?” He asked. Harriett laughed and replied, remembering his own words. “It doesn’t matter, Damien. They don’t need a father.”

She slowly got up to leave and I stopped her with the next words I uttered. "You're easy, afterall." Her brows knotted in confusion and disapproval. More of confusion, because she wasn't really sure she heard right. "Sir..?" "Oh, come off the pretence already. You're just good at pretending to be what you're not, and acting all prudish when in actual fact, you're cheap and disgusting." I was still mad from the encounter with Mr. Jones, and my anger had in no way dissipated. "What did you say to me?" She asked in stupefaction, slolwly turning to hold my gaze in growing annoyance and fury. I pursed my lips in annoyance. "I'm sure you aren't deaf. You're nothing but a cheap b*tch who wouldn't mind f*cking any man simply for the fun of it." "Don't ever... in your life, call me a b*tch or cheap again." Her warning came in a tone that was low, menacing and threatening. She sounded like imminent danger- a ticking time bomb. My eyes flickered with shock as I stared at her. "Who do you think you're talking to?" I questioned with anger. "Jeffery f*cking Hamilton! The most conceited, self-assured and narcissistic b*st*rd to ever grace the planet!" She spat venomously. My eyes were the size of saucers right now. My mouth was agape, my jaw slackened, and my face paled. I couldn't believe what i had just heard.

“I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

"You are absolutely my f*ck*ng woman, Dani. Got me?" I squeezed my eyes shut. "Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?" "No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up.
