Penelope raised her son alone, carrying a secret she swore would never surface again.
The child’s father''Dmitri Volkov—had vanished years ago, believing her dead, leaving behind only scars and a love that curdled into hate. She rebuilt her life in Greece, convincing herself she no longer needed the man who broke her.
Until she heard he was getting married.
She should have stayed away.
Instead, she returned—to his country, to his world, to the one place she was never meant to exist again.
At the wedding, her son tugged at her hand and whispered,
‘Mommy… who is that uncle?’
Penelope didn’t look at the groom when she answered.
‘He’s no one important.’
But the moment Dmitri'''s eyes found her, everything shattered.
He stared at her like a ghost risen from the grave. Like a woman stolen from him by fate itself. She looked too much like his late wife—too much like a wound that never healed—and Dmitri Volkov was not a man who let mysteries walk away.
He refused to let her leave.
Three months.
That was the contract.
A forced marriage dressed up as protection, possession disguised as curiosity.
In public, he treated her like an inconvenience.
In private, he burned with a possessiveness that made her breath hitch and her fear blur with longing.
He snapped at other men for touching her.
Shielded her with silent violence.
And adored her son with a tenderness that terrified her more than his cruelty ever could.
Yet Dmitri remained cold—distant—haunted by secrets he refused to explain.
Until the night everything broke.
Penelope—his wife.
And the woman everyone whispered was his mistress.
Both kidnapped.
One choice.
And Dmitri Volkov chose… the other woman.
The betrayal shattered Penelope beyond repair.
But Dmitri would soon learn the truth too late:
Some sins demand a price paid in blood.
Genre: Romance
