Contract Over, Obsession Begins

I married Rowan for love—he only saw a contract. Desperate to turn our two-year arrangement into something real, I gave it all: my name, my body, even my silence about my deep feelings. But all I got were cold exchanges and closed doors—no emotional intimacy, no warmth, nothing real. Eventually, my heart shattered. So I walked away: divorce, resignation, and a vow to rebuild on my own terms. My law firm was born—and it thrived, just like I began to. Only then did he truly see me: brilliant, resilient, once hopelessly in love. Regret drove him to chase me relentlessly, eager to win back the woman he’d overlooked. Just as my toxic family resurfaced to destroy everything I’d built—this time, he wouldn’t let me face them alone. This is my story of longing, self-discovery, and second chances. Love here isn’t claimed—it’s earned.
