Chapter 1
Chapter 15
After two years abroad, I came home to find eight sugar babies living in my house.
Reed Sterling acted like it was no big deal. “Just business entertainment, you know how it is. People keep pushing these girls on me–all for show. Since you’re back, perfect timing to send them packing.”
I personally escorted each one out.
However, just as I was sending off the last one, that girl named Grace Winters, deliberately smashed my mother’s photo on her way out. Immediately, I slapped her right across the face and had her dumped back at that strip club.
That day, Reed said nothing, instead weirdly sweet to me.
But within a few days, my father died in a car crash and my brother fell down the stairs, ending up
in a coma.
I wandered up to the rooftop in a daze and overheard him talking downstairs.
“Mr. Sterling, Grace is all settled in the suburban house for her pregnancy.”
“Your wife’s family… they’re ALL dealt with.”
“Sir, if Mrs. Sterling finds out about any of this, she’ll completely lose it,” one of his guys said hesitantly.
“So what if she does?” He laughed coldly. “Where’s she gonna go?”
I started shaking, gripping the wall as I made my way downstairs.
So all the tragedy that hit my family was just because I’d messed with his precious little sugar girl!
With a bitter laugh, I pulled out my phone and dialed a number I’d buried long ago.
“Yeah, I need to see HIM.”

Chapter 1
Standing beside my brother’s hospital bed, I watched his peaceful face and felt my throat close up tight.
I turned away numbly, somehow finding myself on the hospital rooftop.
Suddenly, familiar voices drifted up from below.
“Did you deliver the bird’s nest soup to Grace?”
“Yes, Mr. Sterling,” came the respectful reply from his assistant. “Miss Winters says the baby’s been kicking like crazy. She wants to see you.”
“Mm.” He paused. “What about the birthing center arrangements?”
“All set with the premium package-$128,000. Plus that waterfront mansion and the Porsche 911 you requested are now in Miss Winters‘ name.”
Reed’s voice softened. “She’s fragile. Make sure everyone takes extra care of her. I don’t want her
stressed about anything.”
“This is… my first child, after all.”
My fingers clenched into fists.
The assistant hesitated. “And what about your wife…?”
“Summer?” Reed’s tone turned ice–cold. “She had the balls to dump Grace at that strip club. She
should’ve seen this coming.”
My breath caught.
“But sir,” the assistant pressed carefully, “her father’s car accident, her brother in that coma… if Mrs.
Sterling finds out you orchestrated everything… she’ll completely break.”
“So what if she does?” His laugh was bitter. “Who else does she have left but me?”
“The whole damn Preston family can rot in hell.”
A gust of wind hit me, and I started shaking.
So… Dad’s accident, my brother’s “fall“-Reed had planned it all.

All for some woman named Gracel‘
The irony was sickening. That day, Grace had played the victim so perfectly, whimpering about how she “grew up in the clubs.”
I’d simply taken her back to what she called “home.”
The man who slept next to me every night had destroyed my entire family for some club girl.
I pressed against the wall, feeling like someone had carved out a piece of my heart.
“One more thing,” Reed’s voice dropped to a whisper. “Find a way to make sure Summer can NEVER
have kids.”
“I want the Preston bloodline wiped from Seattle’s elite circles for good.”
My blood turned to ice.
All these years, every time I’d brought up having children, Reed had a million excuses. He was worried about the pain, postpartum depression, my health. He’d always say, “Summer, babe, we’ve got all the time in the world.”
The voices below finally faded.
I stumbled down the stairs, my legs barely holding me up.
‘Summer?” Reed’s voice caught me just as I reached the main entrance.
nearly jumped out of my skin and almost face–planted.
His hand shot out to steady my shoulder. “Damn, you’re shaking like a leaf. What’s wrong?”
bit my lip hard. “Just got hit by the wind up there. I’m freezing.”
He shrugged off his jacket, and when his fingers brushed my shoulder, I went rigid.
Back at the house, I buried myself under the covers, curled up in bed. Dad’s bloodied face and my
rother’s unconscious form kept flashing before my eyes.
But what terrified me most was knowing he’d never let me have children.
That thought jolted me upright, and I bolted barefoot for the door.

I had to get out. Right now.
I’d barely made it past the front gate when blinding headlights hit me.
I froze as a car accelerated straight toward me.
BANG!
As pain exploded through my body, I caught a glimpse of Reed standing at the second–floor window.
When I came to, he was holding my hand, looking devastated.
“Summer, you were hit by a car. The crash was so bad… they couldn’t save your uterus…”
I stared at his red–rimmed eyes, feeling nothing but disgust.
The heart monitor started shrieking, and everything went black again.
