MY EX LOST ME TO HIS BILLIONAIRE BROTHER

I spent years building his empire while he took the credit.Damian Cross was supposed to be my future. I stood beside him, worked behind the scenes, and turned struggling properties into multimillion-dollar successes.
Then he replaced me.
He chose a wealthy woman who could give him the connections he wanted, erased my name from the projects I created, and ended our engagement as if the three years we shared meant nothing.
What Damian didn't know was that I had kept the receipts.
I walked away with my dignity, my knowledge, and enough evidence to destroy the story he had built around himself.
I thought my life was finally over.
Then Adrian Cross walked into it.
Damian's older half-brother.
A billionaire real-estate magnate. Powerful. Controlled. Impossible to intimidate.
And the last man I should ever trust.
Adrian knows exactly what I did for his brother's empire. He also knows that someone is trying to bury the truth about Damian's success.
His solution?
A one-year marriage contract.
He needs a wife to protect his business interests and silence the rumors surrounding his personal life. I need protection, authority, and a chance to build something that belongs to me.
The arrangement should have been simple.
Separate rooms. Separate lives. No love. No expectations.
But working beside Adrian changes everything.
For the first time, someone sees my ambition instead of trying to use it. He gives me control over projects that could make me a fortune. He trusts my decisions. And when Damian comes crawling back, Adrian makes one thing very clear-
I am no longer his brother's discarded fiancée.
I am my own woman.
As Damian's empire begins to crumble and the secrets behind my stolen work come to light, I realize the greatest revenge isn't watching the man who betrayed me lose everything.
It's becoming the woman he can never get back.
But there's one problem.
Our marriage may have started as a contract.
My feelings for Adrian didn't.
And when he finally gives me a choice between walking away and staying with him forever, I have to decide whether I'm ready to risk my heart again.
I thought losing Damian meant losing my future.
I was wrong.
It was the beginning of my empire.
