My CEO Fiancé Treats Me Like I’m His… Even When I Leave
Liora Grey had to learn early what her role in the damned Grey family was—
be beautiful, be silent, be convenient.
So when her stepfather arranged her engagement to Damien Hart, the heir of the Hart conglomerate, she played along. She wore the dresses, smiled for the cameras, and pretended to be the elegant lady she was supposed to be.
Damien was everything the tabloids adored him for :
cold, untouchably handsome, calculating…
and a playboy who never looked at her long enough for it to matter.
At least she thought he didn’t.
But on the night of the Azure Pinnacle gala, Liora finds him tangled with her own stepsister, Megan—
a betrayal so sharp it finally shatters her obedience,patience and whatever was left for the sake of it.
She walks away.
From the engagement.
From the merger.
From him.
Everyone expects Damien to move on.
Isn’t that what playboys do?
Except… he doesn’t.
The man who never cared suddenly won’t stay out of her path—
appearing at her studio, sabotaging blind dates, buying out companies she works with, and looking at her with a quiet intensity she doesn’t know how to read.
He never raises his voice.
He never begs.
He never asks her to come back.
He simply acts like she’s still his.
Like she never had the right to walk away.
As her hidden jewelry brand begins to rise and her family pressures tighten, Liora starts to question the man she thought she knew.
Is Damien trying to control her?
Or… is he trying to keep her?
And why does she feel something breaking open inside her every time he whispers her name like he’s been saying it in the dark for years?
In a world of power, secrets, luxury, and quiet obsession—
leaving him was supposed to be her freedom.
But was it just a beginning?
