Introduction

Kiedy mój syn trafił do szpitala z wysoką gorączką, Henry Harding był ze swoją byłą kochanką - ostatnia zdrada, która zniszczyła resztki naszego małżeństwa.
Ból mojej nieślubnej ciąży jest raną, o której nigdy nie mogę mówić, ponieważ ojciec dziecka zniknął bez śladu. Kiedy byłam na skraju życia, Henry pojawił się, oferując mi dom i obiecując, że będzie traktował moje dziecko bez ojca jak swoje własne.
Zawsze byłam mu wdzięczna za uratowanie mnie tamtego dnia, dlatego znosiłam upokorzenie tego nierównego małżeństwa tak długo.
Ale wszystko zmieniło się, gdy jego dawna miłość, Isabella Scott, wróciła.
Teraz jestem gotowa podpisać papiery rozwodowe, ale Henry żąda dziesięciu milionów dolarów jako cenę za moją wolność - sumę, której nigdy nie uda mi się zebrać.
Spojrzałam mu w oczy i powiedziałam zimno: "Dziesięć milionów dolarów za zakup twojego serca."
Henry, najpotężniejszy spadkobierca na Wall Street, jest byłym pacjentem kardiologicznym. Nigdy nie podejrzewałby, że jego tak zwana haniebna eks-żona zorganizowała bijące serce w jego piersi.

Chapter 1

Jesienne zmierzch rzucał długie cienie przez okna sięgające od podłogi do sufitu w VIP-owskim skrzydle szpitala Manhattan General. Stałam przy łóżku mojego syna, obserwując, jak monitory medyczne rzucają swoje stałe niebieskie światło na jego zarumienione policzki.

"Mamo?" Głos Billy'ego był słaby, ledwie szept ponad delikatnym szumem sprzętu medycznego. Mój pięcioletni syn leżał na śnieżnobiałych prześcieradłach, jego złote włosy przesiąknięte potem gorączki.

Pochyliłam się bliżej, odgarniając kosmyk włosów z jego czoła. "Tak, kochanie?"

"Chcę tatę."

Te trzy słowa były jak nóż w serce. Zmusiłam się do uśmiechu, starając się utrzymać głos stabilny. "Kochanie, tata jest zajęty pracą. Jestem tutaj z tobą, dobrze?"

Niebieskie oczy Billy'ego napełniły się łzami, "Nie! Chcę tatę! Proszę, zadzwoń do niego, mamo. Proszę?" Jego małe paluszki zacisnęły się na krawędzi koca, a ja widziałam, jak walczy, żeby być dzielnym, żeby być tym dojrzałym chłopcem, którym zawsze starał się być.

Jak mogłam mu odmówić? Nawet wiedząc, co prawdopodobnie się stanie, co zawsze się działo, gdy próbowałam skontaktować się z Henrym Hardingiem.

"Dobrze, kochanie. Spróbuję do niego zadzwonić." Wyciągnęłam telefon, podchodząc do okna. Moje palce zawisły nad prywatnym numerem Henry'ego, numerem, którego nigdy nie zmienił, choć jasno dawał do zrozumienia, że powinnam go używać tylko w nagłych wypadkach.

Po trzecim sygnale połączenie zostało odebrane, ale to nie był głos Henry'ego.

"Nie wiesz, że Henry jest teraz ze mną? Dlaczego dzwonisz o tej porze?"

Głos Isabelli Scott był jak zawsze elegancki, ociekający fałszywą słodyczą. Mogłam sobie wyobrazić jej idealne rysy, platynowe blond włosy, designerski strój — wszystko w niej wydawało się perfekcyjne.

"Henry, nie ruszaj się..." Jej głos stał się figlarny i intymny, "Pozwól, że cię pocałuję!"

Moja dłoń zacisnęła się na telefonie, gdy patrzyłam na światła miasta, walcząc, by utrzymać głos stabilny. "Nasz syn jest w szpitalu z wysoką gorączką. Prosi o swojego ojca."

"Och?" Fałszywa troska w jej głosie sprawiła, że miałam dreszcze, "Cóż, jesteśmy teraz dość zajęci. Może spróbujesz później?"

Zakończyłam połączenie bez odpowiedzi, biorąc głęboki oddech, zanim odwróciłam się z powrotem do Billy'ego. Jego pełne nadziei spojrzenie prawie mnie złamało.

"Czy to był tata?"

"Nie, kochanie. On... on nie odebrał. Ale możemy spróbować jeszcze raz, dobrze?"

Billy skinął głową, choć widziałam rozczarowanie w jego oczach. Tym razem włączyłam głośnik, pozwalając Billy'emu słyszeć sygnały.

"Co?" Zimny głos Henry'ego wypełnił pokój.

"Tato, to ja!" Twarz Billy'ego rozjaśniła się mimo gorączki. "Jestem chory. Możesz przyjść do szpitala?"

Nastała chwila ciszy, ciężka od możliwości.

"Jestem w Manhattan General, VIP skrzydle, pokój 1630," Billy kontynuował szybko, jego słowa wypadały z ust. "Tęsknię za tobą, tato." Gdy nie nadeszła odpowiedź, jego głos stał się mniejszy. "Jeśli jesteś zbyt zajęty, może możemy zadzwonić na FaceTime?"

"Pracuję." Głos Henry'ego był płaski i lekceważący.

Obserwowałem, jak światło gaśnie w oczach mojego syna, ale jakoś udało mu się uśmiechnąć. "Dobrze, Tato. Do widzenia. Dbaj o siebie, nie pracuj za dużo."

Rozmowa się zakończyła, a Billy odwrócił twarz w stronę okna. Widziałem jego drżącą dolną wargę. Chciałem go przytulić, chronić przed tym bólem, ale wiedziałem, że potrzebuje chwili, żeby się uspokoić. Mój pięcioletni syn już wiedział, jak ukrywać swoje łzy.

Godziny później, gdy Billy w końcu zasnął, siedziałem w fotelu w rogu, przeglądając jego rachunki medyczne. Byłem pogrążony w myślach, zastanawiając się, co właściwie zyskałem w małżeństwie z Henrykiem.

Nagle stukot obcasów o marmur przyciągnął moją uwagę na korytarz. Przez szklaną szybę drzwi zobaczyłem scenę, która złamała mi serce.

Henryk szedł korytarzem, jego grafitowy garnitur był idealnie skrojony, a jego obecność była tak dominująca, że inni pacjenci i personel instynktownie ustępowali mu drogi. Dwóch ochroniarzy szło obok niego, ich słuchawki błyszczały w świetle szpitalnych lamp.

Ale to kobieta na jego ramieniu sprawiła, że mój żołądek się ścisnął. Izabella Scott, w białym designerskim garniturze, który prawdopodobnie kosztował więcej niż większość ludzi zarabia w miesiąc, jej ręka spoczywała posiadawczo na przedramieniu Henryka.

Nie przyszli tutaj dla Billy'ego. Oczywiście, że nie. Wiedziałam, że Henryk przyszedł, aby towarzyszyć Izabelli na badaniach lekarskich. W końcu Izabella była jego pierwszą miłością.

Zatopiłam się głębiej w fotelu, ale mój ruch przyciągnął wzrok Henryka. Przez chwilę nasze spojrzenia spotkały się przez szkło. Jego szare oczy były zimne i lekceważące, ten sam wyraz, który dawał mi przez pięć lat. Potem odwrócił się, prowadząc Izabellę obok naszych drzwi bez drugiego spojrzenia.

Billy poruszył się we śnie, mrucząc cicho "Tato". Wstałam i podeszłam do jego łóżka, delikatnie poprawiając koc. We śnie, jego rysy były zrelaksowane i mogłam zobaczyć ślady mężczyzny, którego poznałam tamtej nocy pięć lat temu - Henryka Hardinga, który był miły, który mnie rozśmieszał, który patrzył na mnie, jakbym miała znaczenie.

Jednak ten człowiek zniknął rankiem, zastąpiony przez zimnego nieznajomego, który poślubił mnie trzy miesiące później, aby zadowolić wymagania swojego dziadka. Ponieważ mój ojciec pomógł im w czasie kryzysu finansowego, dziadek Henryka chciał zbudować dobre relacje z naszą rodziną. To było absurdalne, że rodzina ze średniej klasy mogła pomóc bogatej rodzinie, ale dokładnie tak się stało.

Musnęłam pocałunkiem czoło Billy'ego, sprawdzając jego temperaturę. Gorączka wydawała się trochę ustępować. Na zewnątrz, miasto, które nigdy nie śpi, błyszczało milionem świateł, ale tutaj, w pokoju 1630, cały mój świat zawierał się w równomiernym wznoszeniu i opadaniu klatki piersiowej mojego syna.

"Gdybym wiedziała, Henryku", pomyślałam, patrząc na drzwi, za którymi zniknął z Izabellą. "Gdybym wiedziała, że zawsze ją kochałeś, nigdy bym cię nie poślubiła".

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
