CHAPTER 1 — THE BREAKUP
Maya Collins stood frozen in the marble lobby as Ethan Blake pulled his hand away from hers.
Her diamond ring slipped from her fingers and hit the floor.
“Your family is broke, Maya. We’re done,” Ethan said coldly.
Before Maya could answer, Chloe Bennett appeared in a glamorous dress and wrapped her arm around Ethan.
She smiled at Maya.
“Know your place, sweetie.”
Then Ethan and Chloe walked away together.
CHAPTER 2 — THE SECRET
Maya slowly picked up the ring.
For a moment, she looked heartbroken.
Then the tears stopped.
What Ethan never knew was that Maya had hidden her real identity during their relationship.
Her father, Richard Collins, was one of the most powerful billionaires in the country.
Maya had wanted someone to love her without knowing her family name.
Ethan had just failed that test.
She pulled out her phone.
“Dad… remember Ethan Blake?”
CHAPTER 3 — THE WRONG GIRL
The next morning, Ethan arrived at his company and found the building in chaos.
Investors were pulling out.
A major deal had disappeared overnight.
Then a black luxury car stopped outside.
Maya stepped out wearing an elegant suit.
Ethan stared at her.
“Maya…?”
She walked past him without stopping.
“You dumped me because you thought I had nothing.”
She turned and smiled.
“You were wrong.”
Behind her, Richard Collins entered the building.
And Ethan finally realized exactly who Maya was.
He hadn’t rejected a poor girl.
He had rejected the woman who could have changed his entire life.
