Three years ago, she was dispatched to a top-secret battlefield. She fought through bloodshed and was long presumed dead.
Three years later, she returned victorious. Yet instead of her husband’s embrace, she was greeted with a divorce petition — and his pregnant mistress sitting beside the plaintiff’s bench. Her husband accused her of vanishing for years and contributing nothing to the family, even attempting to seize their marital home and all their assets.
No one knew that the woman he publicly humiliated was a decorated field officer and the sole heir to the powerful Ashford family.
When the truth came to light, her ex-husband was consumed with regret. What’s more, the child the mistress carried was not his.
After ending her failed marriage, she inherited a massive fortune. She then entered a perilous yet equal contractual marriage with a cold, formidable tycoon in the defense industry.
He had thought she had nothing, never realizing he had cast aside a woman far beyond his reach for the rest of his life.
