The opulent yacht Elysium sliced through the waves as the Mediterranean sun shimmered across the placid ocean. Isabella Grant, 35, who was expecting her first child, placed her hands on the rail on deck while her dark hair was softly lifted by the breeze. As the only heir to Grant Enterprises, a multinational conglomerate she had reconstructed with intelligence and tenacity following the death of her father, she was a self-made millionaire.
However, a storm was brewing behind her—not in the sky, but in her husband’s heart.
Isabella had married Richard Hale five years prior, when he was a struggling investment dealer. They appeared to be the ideal couple to outsiders: glitzy, strong, and untouchable. However, beneath the exterior, Richard had a toxic ambition.
He was sick of being referred to as “Mr. Grant” and living in his wife’s shadow. He now saw an opportunity as Isabella’s pregnancy approached the third trimester.
Possibility—and a collaborator.
