Chapter 1: Prologue
The heavy mahogany doors slammed open, echoing through the cold, empty penthouse.
He stepped inside, his dark eyes sweeping over the bare vanity and the cold side of the bed until they landed on the signed divorce papers sitting on the glass coffee table. Beside them lay her ring, cold and abandoned.
She was gone. She really thought she could run from him.
A slow smile touched his lips as he pulled out his phone, his voice calm and sharp.
"Block every route out of the city," he said smoothly. "If she thinks running away changes anything, she's wrong. Every step she takes only brings us closer."
He walked to the table, picked up the divorce papers, and tore them right down the middle, letting the pieces fall to the floor.
"Find my wife. Because divorce is never an option."
