From Ashes, A New Love Reborn

My husband, the city's most formidable lawyer, destroyed my family to protect his ex-girlfriend. He framed my brother, leading to my parents' deaths and our company's collapse.

He promised to free my brother if I stayed. But on the day of the final appeal, he never showed up.

My brother lost his last chance at freedom. I later found out why Hamilton was absent. He was at a picnic, celebrating his ex-girlfriend's dog's birthday.

My brother's life, my entire world, was worth less than a puppy. The love I had for him shattered into dust.

So I underwent an experimental therapy to erase him from my mind. When he finally tracked me down in Paris, begging me to come back, I looked at the man who had been my world and asked,

"I'm sorry, have we met?"
