Five Years of Silence The CEO's Discarded Wife

Naomi Swanson is the other half of Elijah Gilbert's marriage certificate, bound to him by a contract that saved her father's company. For five years she has watched him drop everything for Cara Fox, the one who got away — on a night of torrential rain, outside an operating room, and at her father's funeral. She keeps the sconce lit for his late returns, eats cold anniversary dinners alone, and tells her mother the necklace was beautiful.

When she finally signs the divorce papers and disappears, Elijah pounds on her apartment door, demanding to know what gives her the right to throw him away. He will never know what she wrote on the back of the contract he signed years ago, when she was seventeen.

Now it is her turn to watch his empire crumble, and to burn every bridge back to her with her own two hands.
