Tainted Promises: A Second Chance Billionaire Suspense Romance of Betrayal, Divorce and Revenge (Black Suit Billionaires #9)

I thought divorce would be the end of my story.
Instead, it was the beginning of my war.

Two years ago, I walked into my penthouse and found my husband’s mouth on another woman.
His hands on her skin.
My robe on her body.

I didn’t scream.
I didn’t break.
I didn’t give him the satisfaction of watching me fall apart.

I took photos.
Called my lawyer.
Signed the papers with steady hands.

And I swore I would never let Cassian Holloway touch my life again.

But life has a talent for laughing at vows.

Because now I’m standing in front of federal agents, being accused of laundering millions and helping murder the man who raised him.
My company—the empire I built from ashes—is collapsing under cyberattacks I didn’t initiate.
Every digital trail leads back to my servers.

And every clue leads back to him.

Cassian says he didn’t do it.
For once, I can see the truth in his eyes—terrified, hollow, the boy he used to be flickering beneath the billionaire’s armor.

But this isn’t about him.
This time, I’m fighting for me.

When we finally uncovered the real enemy—a woman I once called friend—everything detonated.
Poison.
Betrayal.
Manipulation woven through years of our lives like a silent, rotting thread.

And suddenly, Cassian and I weren’t enemies anymore.
We were targets.
Partners.
Survivors clawing toward the truth before it destroyed us both.

I hated him.
I loved him once.
I swore I’d never look back.

But standing beside him in the ruins of everything we were…
I learned something

Hate doesn’t burn this hot.
Regret doesn’t ache this deep.
And some promises—no matter how tainted—don’t die.

Not until you decide who you’re willing to become.
And who you’re willing to fight for.

This isn’t just a second chance.
This is a reckoning.

And I’m done running.
