เข้าสู่ระบบAva Harris has already been ruined by love once. Six years ago, she was left pregnant and alone, forced to rebuild her life for the sake of her son. Now, she’s strong, independent—and determined never to trust a man again. Until Liam Blackwell. Cold, powerful, and her billionaire boss, Liam offers her a marriage of convenience to secure his position as CEO. It’s just a contract. No feelings involved. But living together changes everything. As lines blur and emotions grow, Ava begins to believe in love again—until the man who once abandoned her returns, demanding a place in their son’s life. With the past resurfacing and danger closing in, Ava must decide: Will she risk her heart again… or walk away before love ruins her twice?
ดูเพิ่มเติมThe strange thing about change was that most times it didn’t announce itself.It entered quietly.Like one different morning.One phone call.One conversation you almost ignored.And somehow later you look back and realize that was the exact day everything started moving.Three days passed after the board contacted Liam.Nothing happened.Which somehow made Ava more uncomfortable.She knew drama.Drama had noise.Drama gave warning.But quiet things?Quiet things scared her more.Because quiet things had space to grow.Life still continued normally though.Breakfast happened.People argued over stupid things.The little one still talked too much.Noah still acted like being seventeen made him wiser than everybody.Liam still pretended he wasn’t soft.Everything looked normal.But Ava noticed small things.Liam checking his phone more.Closing work emails faster when she walked past.Standing outside longer after dinner.Nothing hug
It was supposed to be a normal day, the kind of day nobody remembers later because nothing dramatic happens in it. Ava actually liked days like that now. The house was already awake when she came downstairs, which meant she didn’t even get the chance to pretend she was the first one up like she used to years ago. The little one was already talking loudly in the kitchen about something that probably didn’t matter, Noah was sitting at the table scrolling on his phone with one eye still half closed, and Liam was standing by the stove trying to figure out breakfast like it was a serious life decision.Ava stopped for a second and just watched them. She didn’t even realize she was smiling until she felt it on her face. It was strange how normal everything looked now compared to how complicated life used to be. There was a time when mornings felt like su
It was late in the night, the kind of night where the whole house finally stopped making noise and even the smallest sound felt too loud. The kids were asleep upstairs, the little one still hugging a stuffed toy tightly like it was the only thing keeping her safe from bad dreams, and Noah had his door slightly open even though he always claimed he needed privacy now. Ava stood by the kitchen counter for a while just looking at how everything had settled into place. Plates were washed, lights were dimmed, and the house felt full in a quiet way she still wasn’t used to even after all these years.Liam was outside on the small back porch. He always went there when he thought too much. Ava knew that habit now, she didn’t even need to ask. So she took two cups of tea and followed him without saying anything. When she stepped outside, she saw him sitting on the steps like he had done so many times before during different phases of their life
Nobody expected the morning to feel strange.That was the annoying thing about change. It never knocked first. It just showed up disguised as normal.The house still looked the same.Breakfast still happened.Somebody still forgot something.Somebody still complained.But everybody knew.Today was different.Noah was leaving.Not forever.Not dramatically.Just university.But somehow that felt bigger than people admitted.Ava woke up before everybody else and stood in the kitchen for a while doing absolutely nothing useful. She made tea and forgot to drink it. She opened the fridge three times without taking anything. She checked Noah’s packed snacks even though he was old enough to laugh at her for it.She told herself she was fine.She wasn’t.Noah came downstairs around eight carrying too many bags and acting suspiciously relaxed.He looked around and frowned.“Why does everybody look weird?”Nobody answer
AvaI don’t cry. Not anymore. Tears don’t fix anything. I learned that the hard way. As I stood in Liam Blackwell’s office, less than twelve hours after waking up alone in his bed, I stood there wondering how someone could look the same, and feel so different. “Is there something you need, Miss
AvaThe moment the doors closed behind me, I knew it was a mistake. The house did not fall short of my expectations. Sleek, expansive. And quiet in a way that felt expensive.Floor to ceiling windows, overlooking the city with lights that seemed to stretch on forever. Untouchable. Just like him.
AvaThe second we walked in it was obvious. The conversations still flowed in the same manner but it was clear the topic had changed. The way the eyes followed. Some leered, some jested and others were confused. “Who is she?”“Why her?”“He chose her of all people?” As though the pressure in the
AvaThe last time a man told me “trust me,” I ended up pregnant and alone. So when Liam Blackwell says “Come with me tonight.” I don’t mistake it for anything harmless.I stare at him from across his office, my fingers tighten around the documents I held to my chest. The glass wall behind me refle
