The Toxic Ex Regrets

To save her ailing sister, Charlotte signed away her freedom in a life-or-death contract, binding herself to Leo Carter, the ruthless and arrogant CEO of the Carter Group. What began as a desperate act of love soon became a prison. For three long years, Charlotte has endured Leo's scorn, his constant belittling, and the cruel way he trampled her dignity while stealing credit for her hard-earned achievements. To him, she has been nothing more than a convenient pawn—obedient, silent, and disposable.

But time is running out. The contract that shackled her is nearly at its end, and for the first time in years, Charlotte sees the possibility of escape. Just as she begins to dream of freedom, fate brings back Harper, her first love—the man who once saw her for who she truly was.

Now Charlotte must decide: remain in the gilded cage Leo built, or walk away and reclaim her power.

Yet as Harper's return rekindles a forgotten spark, Leo begins to realize that the woman he dismissed so easily may be the one he can't afford to lose.
