“I beg you, Mia. Please tell me that this child is mine,” Henry begged as he looked at the woman holding the little boy in her arms. But, just as he reached forward to hug her—

“Dear brother, just what do you think you are doing? Why are you trying to hug my wife and son?” Lucas stepped in between the two with a cheeky smile on his lips.

He pointed to the boy and said, “Look carefully; he is my son.” 

Mia snorted upon hearing the two men fighting over her son. She hugged the little boy and smiled politely, “Last I remember, I was the one who gave birth to him. So carry on with your games, boys.” 

Mia Wills never knew how feeble life truly was until she lost everything in a matter of just a few hours. Seventy-two hours ago, she was a happily married woman who was about to head for her honeymoon. But seventy-two hours later, she met with her husband’s cold eyes, who asked her to divorce him. 

An accident ripped Mia’s world apart. Not only did it nearly take her life, it also took away Henry Holman’s memories. Her newly married husband. 

With more than three years of memories gone, Henry no longer remembered pursuing Mia and marrying her out of love. Instead, he believed the lies of his first love and girlfriend, Jamie Hudson, who spun a story where she was chased away by Mia, who took her place and married Henry by lying to him. 

And what did Henry do after listening to her lies? He demanded a divorce, chasing Mia away from his life. 

But how could Mia let go? She believed that as long as she persisted, Henry would remember her one day. But with the continuous torment and humiliation for months, including watching her husband bring his mistress to their wedding house, Mia could no longer hold on.

She signed the divorce papers and left. 

She believed that with the divorce, she and Henry would never cross paths again. That was until Jamie’s callous scheme dragged her back not only in front of Henry but also in the bed of his half brother, Lucas Holman. 

Lucas Holman, the half brother of her ex-husband, was back in the city and he returned not only to take back what belonged to him but he was there to do it with a bang. 

And Mia, who was set to forget the night of their entanglement, found herself in another turmoil when Lucas offered a contract to marry her. In exchange, he promised to save her father.

The temptation was too strong for Mia to ignore. 

But as she signed the contract, she swore to never fall for Lucas. 

But would she be able to keep her feelings at bay when Lucas starts showering her with his undivided attention? 

Was it truly an act of love or a part of his cruel scheme?

Moreover, when a murder case binds Henry, Mia and Lucas together, what kind of secrets will be unravelled? Would they still be sane after the shards of truth pierce them? Or would they lose themselves forever?

She narrowed her eyes and glared at the man. She said to him, "How can you trespass on my privacy like this?" 


Mia didn't like it when people poked around in her personal life. Especially when they were trying to find her weakness for their personal gain. 


"I apologise for my lack of tact." Lucas was quick with his apology, but Mia had a feeling that he was only patronising her. "I didn't think things through as I never thought that it would offend you in any way." 


"You investigated my personal life?" Mia stated, sounding both bewildered and angry. "How did you think I would react? Did you seriously think that I would be alright?" 


Lucas raised his brow. "Of course not. But I hoped that you would understand that I did it not because I wanted to, but because I had no choice. I never wanted to make you upset, Mia. I was only trying to find a way to convince Madam Harley."
