Forced back into Riccardo's glittering, gossip-fueled world, the price of perfection is still too high and Lilly's old insecurities resurface.

But everything shatters the night she walks in on her husband, Lorenzo, tangled in sheets with her best friend, Victoria.

But Laura has one secret-a secret she takes with her as she disappears from his life. Five Years Later... Laura Roberts has risen from the ashes, now the powerful billionaire heiress to her father's empire. Her past feels like a distant memory-until a reporter's probing question pulls her back into the spotlight. "Miss Roberts, can you finally tell us what really happened with your husband five years ago?" Before she can respond, a familiar voice interrupts, dripping with confidence.

"I'm not your wife!" she fires back, her voice steady. "Not yet, darling. But I've made arrangements. We're getting remarried... *today.*"
