They Called Her a Pregnant Gold Digger (From Grovel to Redemption #2)

My husband let his family tear me down for months. When they turned their contempt on our unborn daughter and he still wouldn’t defend us, I walked away.

For months, I played the perfect, invisible wife.

I swallowed the elitist sneers from my mother-in-law, endured his father’s rigid control, and politely ignored the female colleague constantly invading my husband’s space.

I loved Cassian deeply, anchoring all my hope on my pregnancy to finally make us a real team.

Everything shattered at our massive gender reveal dinner.

In front of a room full of high-society guests, his family publicly dismissed my unborn daughter and branded me a pregnant gold digger. I looked to the man I loved, desperately waiting for him to draw a hard line and defend us.

Instead, Cassian sighed, rubbed his temples, and told me I was overreacting.

I left my diamond ring next to my untouched plate, legally waived my rights to his entire empire, and vanished.

I rebuilt my life. Without him.

CASSIAN

I was an arrogant fool who thought my wealth and a little time could fix any mistake.

I was dead wrong.

When I finally track down the only woman I’ve ever loved, I barely recognize the way she looks at me. The devotion is gone. In its place is an indifference I don’t know how to fight.

My billions mean nothing here. Neither does my name.

And another man is giving my wife the protection I should have given her.

Scrubbing grease traps and begging for forgiveness won’t undo what I allowed to happen. If I want my family back, I have to prove I’m no longer the oblivious boy who fed her to the wolves.

That means choosing between the empire I was bred to rule and the wife I cannot live without.
