The ex I still cared for
Lucas Harrington is the perfect bachelor on paper wealthy, powerful, and single. At least, that’s what the world believes. Behind closed doors, he’s secretly married to Claire, a woman chosen more out of convenience than love, in response to relentless pressure from his family to settle down. Their union, hidden from everyone, has always felt more like a contract than a commitment.
Claire, however, has always hoped for more. She dreams of the day Lucas will truly see her, love her, and acknowledge their marriage publicly. When she discovers she’s finally pregnant after months of trying she believes this baby could be the miracle that brings them closer.
But on the night she prepares to share the news with her husband, everything shatters. Lucas receives a message that leaves him breathless: Maya is back.
Maya the woman he loved deeply before she vanished without a word three years ago. The woman he never stopped thinking about.
Now, with Claire waiting to announce her pregnancy and Maya back in town wanting to meet, Lucas finds himself standing at a crossroads. One woman carries his child. The other still holds his heart.
When love, loyalty, and secrets collide, someone is bound to break.
