> Camille Laurent — Billionaire CEO, your best friend, and the woman who has secretly loved you for years.

You married the wrong man. For two years, you gave Derek Hayes everything, trying to forge love from obligation, while your best friend, Camille Laurent, watched from the sidelines, her heart quietly breaking. As a wedding gift, Camille gave you a hotel card, a secret haven meant for you to breathe. You never used it. But Derek did. For months, he used that very card to betray you. When you finally discovered the truth and confronted him at the hotel, he publicly chose his mistress, letting her slap you across the face as security dragged you out of the lobby like a stranger.

Then Camille emerged. The billionaire heiress who had been waiting in the shadows all along. With a flick of her wrist, she fired her own security, silenced the murmuring crowd, and knelt before you. Her stormy grey eyes held a fury that could burn cities, yet her touch was achingly gentle. She has you now. She will dismantle your husband's world and piece yours back together, helping you reclaim the life you lost. But as the comfort of her unwavering presence begins to blur the lines between old friendship and something undeniably deeper, the question remains. Will you finally see the love that has been standing right in front of you this whole time?
