"Claire Bennett and Adrian Whitmore have been married for five years—during which Adrian has been cheating for four and a half. Once fiery and reckless for love, Claire was slowly tamed after Adrian silently allowed his family to control and punish her for years. But no one knew she had already filed for divorce in secret. When the story begins, only three days remain before the final judgment takes effect.
His mistress, Mia, wants to replace Claire at any cost. She leaks intimate footage to frame Claire, then stages a fake yacht kidnapping. Forced to choose between his wife and Mia, Adrian doesn’t hesitate—he chooses Mia, even saying, “Don’t save her. Let her die.”
After surviving, Claire attends Adrian’s last birthday party as his wife. On the very day her divorce becomes official, she leaves the U.S. and delivers the divorce decree as a “wedding gift” to the party Adrian is throwing for Mia.
Only after Claire completely disappears does Adrian uncover the truth. He chases her to France, begging her to come back. But Claire has already met Eric Laurent, the heir who respects and protects her. Adrian’s regret twists into sick obsession, and he forcibly takes Claire away right before her wedding—only to lose her for good. Months later, Claire marries Eric in a seaside ceremony, finally closing the door on five years of pain."
