“I beg you, Mia. Please tell me that this child is mine,” Henry begged as he looked at the woman holding the little boy in her arms. But, just as he reached forward to hug her—

“Dear brother, just what do you think you are doing? Why are you trying to hug my wife and son?” Lucas stepped in between the two with a cheeky smile on his lips.

He pointed to the boy and said, “Look carefully; he is my son.” 

Mia snorted upon hearing the two men fighting over her son. She hugged the little boy and smiled politely, “Last I remember, I was the one who gave birth to him. So carry on with your games, boys.” 

Mia Wills never knew how feeble life truly was until she lost everything in a matter of just a few hours. Seventy-two hours ago, she was a happily married woman who was about to head for her honeymoon. But seventy-two hours later, she met with her husband’s cold eyes, who asked her to divorce him. 

An accident ripped Mia’s world apart. Not only did it nearly take her life, it also took away Henry Holman’s memories. Her newly married husband. 

With more than three years of memories gone, Henry no longer remembered pursuing Mia and marrying her out of love. Instead, he believed the lies of his first love and girlfriend, Jamie Hudson, who spun a story where she was chased away by Mia, who took her place and married Henry by lying to him. 

And what did Henry do after listening to her lies? He demanded a divorce, chasing Mia away from his life. 

But how could Mia let go? She believed that as long as she persisted, Henry would remember her one day. But with the continuous torment and humiliation for months, including watching her husband bring his mistress to their wedding house, Mia could no longer hold on.

She signed the divorce papers and left. 

She believed that with the divorce, she and Henry would never cross paths again. That was until Jamie’s callous scheme dragged her back not only in front of Henry but also in the bed of his half brother, Lucas Holman. 

Lucas Holman, the half brother of her ex-husband, was back in the city and he returned not only to take back what belonged to him but he was there to do it with a bang. 

And Mia, who was set to forget the night of their entanglement, found herself in another turmoil when Lucas offered a contract to marry her. In exchange, he promised to save her father.

The temptation was too strong for Mia to ignore. 

But as she signed the contract, she swore to never fall for Lucas. 

But would she be able to keep her feelings at bay when Lucas starts showering her with his undivided attention? 

Was it truly an act of love or a part of his cruel scheme?

Moreover, when a murder case binds Henry, Mia and Lucas together, what kind of secrets will be unravelled? Would they still be sane after the shards of truth pierce them? Or would they lose themselves forever?

Before Mia could reply, Henry made the decision for her. He turned to look at Grandpa Emmett and stated, "You cannot be serious, Grandpa."


"What do you mean?" Grandpa Emmett turned his head to the left slightly and glanced at Henry coolly. "What made you think that I was joking, Henry? Ask your father if you must, when was the last time I even made a joke?" 


"Ex-wife, I am aware of that." Grandpa Emmett nodded at Henry's words, which made the man furrow his brows in confusion. He was not the only one. 


Mia was just as confused. She believed that after signing the divorce agreement, she would be done with Henry and the Holman family. At most they would become known strangers and nothing else. But it seemed like even if she was ready to let go, the Holman family wasn't ready to do that yet. 


Seeing this, Mia was quite glad that he was voicing the same question as her.
