Mistaken Love, Frenzied Regret

Six years ago, Chloe was blackmailed by Ethan’s powerful father into cruelly rejecting Ethan at his proposal to protect his future. Ethan chased her, was nearly killed in a crash, and watched her leave. Later, their newborn daughter was stolen by his parents, who told Chloe the baby was dead.

Now Chloe returns to Manhattan. Ethan is a cold Wall Street tycoon who believes she abandoned him for money. He destroys her family, mistakes her brother for her lover, and forces her into a humiliating contract. Meanwhile, scheming Sophia abuses Chloe and manipulates Lily, Ethan’s daughter, into fearing her real mother.

When the truth comes out—Chloe never abandoned Lily and was forced away—Ethan is devastated. But before he can make amends, Sophia kidnaps Chloe and Lily. Ethan rushes into the burning warehouse to save them, pushes his proposal ring toward Chloe, and dies as the building collapses. Broken but free, Chloe and Lily begin a new life.
