Seven Years of Lies

Seven years ago, Vesper’s world shattered. On the day she expected to marry Garrison, the man she loved for a decade, she watched a live stream of his wedding to her adopted sister, Giselle—in Vesper’s custom-made gown. The ultimate betrayal wasn't just Garrison's, but her entire family's, who conspired to keep her in the dark for years. Heartbroken and abandoned, Vesper fled, severing all ties to the city and the people who destroyed her. She built a new life, found love, and became a mother to a beautiful daughter. Vesper believed she had escaped her past forever. Until a chance encounter at a bakery entrance brought her face-to-face with Garrison and her brother, Corbin. The man who stole her future, now a powerful CEO. Her brother, a rising military officer. Their stunned silence was broken by Vesper's revelation: "My daughter loves sweets." The words, simple yet loaded, sent Garrison's world crashing down. "Vesper, didn't you say you would only ever have my children?" he choked, tears in his eyes. But the past is a labyrinth of lies and unspoken truths. Who is Vesper's daughter's father? What secrets still bind her to the man who betrayed her so cruelly? And can she ever truly escape the shadows of her past when her family's manipulative hold still threatens her new life?
