To Love a Shadow To Be the Sun

For four years, Elara Jules believed she was Brian Vincent's entire world—until she saw the photograph: his arm linked with the woman he could never have, their eyes speaking a secret language of longing she’d never been meant to understand.

She had never been his true love—only his perfect disguise, a respectable cover meant to hide the dangerous obsession that truly ruled his heart.

Without a word, Elara locked her heart away and handed him the divorce papers.

Brian laughed coldly. "You won’t last a week without me."

He’d spent years clipping her wings—forbidding her from working, reducing her to the role of "Mrs. Vincent"—all to make sure she’d never be strong enough to fly away.

But then he saw her again: no longer the delicate vine he’d raised in the shadows, but a tech magnate shining under the spotlight—held in the arms of a man whose power and influence dwarfed his own.

And as she glanced toward him without recognition and murmured, "Just someone I used to know," every ounce of his pride turned to dust.
