Their marriage was arranged.
Their chemistry was undeniable.
Their breakup? Devastating.
Zara Hartley never expected to fall for Dylan Reid - the arrogant, devastatingly handsome CEO her parents forced her to marry. But beneath the power plays and passion, something real began to bloom: love.
Until one night...
"I was forced into this," he slurred, eyes glassy with whiskey.
"Your face alone, makes my heart ache in sorrow"
Those words? They scorched her soul.
So she walked away without looking back - and reinvented herself as the fierce, untouchable queen of a corporate empire.
Now, three years later...
Dylan walks into a boardroom and sees her again.
Only this time, she's the boss.
She's confident. Sexy, Cold. Deliciously out of reach.
And Dylan? He wants her more than ever - not just in his bed, but in his life.
Too late.
Zara doesn't play nice anymore.
Not when his sexy, manipulative fiancée Celeste Roux is clawing her way into his arms... and into the headlines.
But the tension crackles.
The stolen looks. The heated standoffs. The temptation.
"You're still mine," he whispers against her skin one night.
"No," she smirks, lips brushing his ear. "I was never yours to begin with."
Love. Lust. Legacy.
And a war between two powerful women for one unforgettable man.
But Zara has one rule:
"I don't fight for men. I let them fight for me."
Let the games begin.
The Distance Between our hearts
"You can stay for a while, the boarding hasn't started yet" he said hoping that he can be with her a little longer. " I don't think I can stay any longer, I have to leave" Divi replied cold and aloof leaving no room for discussion just the way he was with her all these months of their marriage.
She picked her handbag and cabin luggage in one hand and started walking towards the boarding gates. Suddenly he grabbed her wrist gently like he doesn't want to let her go and asked "when are you coming back" she stopped on her track and shuddered under his touch. "I'm not coming back to London again Vikrant" she took a deep breath before saying " leave my hand I need to go"
He couldn't believe what he heard, his grip on her hand tightened and he asked "why?". Divi turned completely towards him and looked at him with disbelief and her eyes were red from crying for hours because her father was in emergency.
"Why? You ask me why Vikrant? Shouldn't you be happy that finally I'll be gone? Isn't that what you wanted all this while ?"
