Chapter 1
The anniversary restaurant I’d booked six months in advance. The food had gone stone cold,my husband Silas Vasker still hadn’t shown up.
But his sweetie secretary Anya Rowe’s Instagram had just updated.
*These seven days, you’re all mine!*
The photo showed her in an intimate pose with Silas Vasker.
My heart dropped. After 99 missed calls, he finally picked up, his voice lazy and distracted.
“Gosh!You’re not seriously still waiting there, are you? I’m busy celebrating with Anya right now.”
“She just closed this huge deal and she wanted to use her bonus to buy seven days of exclusive access to me.”
There was a hint of resignation in his voice.
“The girl rarely asks for anything, so I agreed.”
“I’ll make it up to you in seven days.”
Factually laughed.
He actually thought I’d still be waiting for him after fucking seven days!
When the waiter came to clear the untouched dishes, she asked cautiously, “Miss, are you sure you don’t want these?”
The phone had just disconnected, still warm in my hand.
“No, thanks.”
This trendy restaurant that required six months advance booking, I’d even called in favors to get us in.
I’d specifically worn his favorite blue dress, but from dusk till midnight, he never showed.
I’d run through every possible scenario during the Uber ride to his office. When I looked up at the building, I could see the massive floor–to–ceiling windows lit up.
Silas had a woman pressed against the window, kissing her madly.
He was always so controlled, so restrained. I’d never seen him lose it like this:
When I pushed open the conference room door, he whipped around.
The girl frantically rugged down her skirt that had been hiked up to her ass.panic wri

“Ms…Ms. Hale.”
That guy’s face, still flushed with fading desire, showed a flash of irritation.
“I’ve made myself perfectly clear. Why the hell did you follow me here?”
I almost burst out laughing.
“Well, if I hadn’t shown up, I would’ve missed this sexual damn show!”
I looked straight at Anya.
She shrank behind Silas in embarrassment, trying to hide her torn stockings.
“Ms. Hale, please don’t be angry. Silas and I were just… celebrating.”
Something protective flashed in Silas’s eyes.
He stepped in front of the girl, frowning at me.
“Do you have to be such a bitch about everything?”
“She just landed a huge deal for the company. She doesn’t want money – she just wanted seven days of exclusive access to me.”
“What’s your problem with that?”
A dull ache spread through my chest.
The Vasker family had always been strict about propriety.He never lost his cool in public.
And he certainly never would have humiliated me in front of his affairs.
I met Anya’s gaze.
Her expression was timid, but her eyes gleamed with victory.
Her pale skin was flushed pink, innocent yet seductive.
“This is your type now?”
I looked up at him.
He seemed stunned for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.
“Cressida,don’t forget it.You climbed your way up the exact same way.”
His words hit like a thunderclap, leaving my ears ringing.
“What the hell did you just say?”

He wouldn’t even look at me.
“Don’t worry. I won’t make the same mistake twice.”
His seemingly casual words tore open a gaping wound in my heart.
Cold wind rushed in.
–
So all these years between us to him, I was just a mistake?
I hadn’t eaten all day, and my stomach was killing me. The pain was so bad I had to bend over.
Silas walked right past me with Anya in his arms.
Anya shot me this smug little smile.
“Sorry, Ms. Hale…”
“The next seven days? Silas is mine.”
