Forgive Me

The story begins with a boy who never belonged.

Born to a mother who died giving him life, raised by a stepmother who never accepted him, Caius learned early that love was conditional. His father protected him. His brother envied him. And the woman who would one day destroy him was waiting in the shadows.

When a devastating accident leaves a young girl fighting for her life, the Lancaster family does what they have always done: they cover it up. They pay for silence. They protect their name.

But secrets have a way of surfacing.

Years later, a woman named Lyra walks into Caius's office. She is beautiful. Intelligent. Unreadable. She becomes his assistant. His confidante. His lover.

She is also the sister of the girl the Lancasters destroyed.

And she has come to take everything.
' Forgive me.'
