The CEO's Public Deal With the Discarded Wife

The car crosses a bridge toward the dark water, city towers behind them.

He turned the car toward the water, and the city lights slid over his face one by one.

I thought about Graham's hands on her hips. I thought about Friday, and who would be watching.

I could go home and be the wronged wife, or I could take a chair at his table and be a problem.

Synopsis

I spent five years being the sensible wife. I ran Graham's home. I saved his hotel opening. I kept my mouth shut when he thanked Lila for it. Lila is my best friend. She is also the woman Graham loved first. At the Sutter House opening, I heard him say it. She was always his first choice. I was the wife who stayed. Elias Kessler saw my face. Lila's husband. The cold billionaire who notices everything. He did not offer me pity. He offered me a deal. Stand with him in public. Tell each other the truth in private. Make everyone who called me second choice watch. I should have said no. But he looked at me like I was capable, not broken. So I said yes. Now I have a seat at his table and revenge in my smile. But is Elias using me to hurt his wife, or is he the only one who ever chose me?
