The Heir He Let Me Lose

For ten years, Elena Montclair fought to make her husband love her. She had defied her father, cut ties with her family, and staked everything on an alliance marriage to Jason Valeri, heir to a rival dynasty. He never wanted her. He paraded other women in front of her, told her to her face he would never love her, and treated her like furniture in her own home. The night she finally conceived the child she had waited a decade for, she walked in on Jason with his mistress, Jessica — who was pregnant too. Elena laid divorce papers on the nightstand and told him she was letting him go. He tore them up and reminded her she had nowhere left to go. Then Jessica shoved her into a wall, and Elena lost the baby on the cold floor while Jason soothed his mistress in the next room, too indifferent to call a doctor. But Elena had a secret: a ten-year pact with her father. If she failed to win Jason's heart, she would come home and marry the man he had chosen. She had lost. So she left — quietly, completely — and her father, a business titan, moved to back her. Only after she was gone did Jason begin to unravel. The funding collapsed. The board turned on him. And when he finally saw the cufflink she had kept all these years, he understood what he had thrown away — and discovered that Jessica had forced her pregnancy with a lie, masking the truth that Elena had been carrying his child all along. By the time he came to beg, Elena had already begun a new life with Alex — the steady, decent man her father had chosen, who had loved her for years without asking for anything. At their reunion, Jason offered her everything, including the love she had once begged for. She told him it was too late. She should never have pinned her hopes on someone who needed to be changed. She should have loved someone who was already good. Twelve chapters. A cold, satisfying revenge on a husband who realizes, far too late, that he never lost her — he threw her away.
