Story

The story

Sharon Astor and Michael Prescott grew up side by side, their families and social circle certain the two were destined to marry. When Michael falls for Sophie, a girl from an ordinary middle-class suburb, Sharon buries her feelings and keeps up appearances for the sake of their families' business ties.

At Michael's birthday party in an exclusive club, Sophie plays a viral joke about why Michael never visited her in the hospital as a baby. Michael turns the question on his uncle, Declan Prescott, the cold, formidable heir who runs the family empire. Declan answers that he did visit, and that he once held her as a baby, his gaze fixed on Sharon.

No one takes him seriously. Sharon does. Slipping away as the party winds down, she finds her car in the underground garage, opens the door, and freezes: someone is already in the backseat.

Opening excerpt

"Michael, you're a year older than me. Why didn't you visit me in the hospital the day I was born? Do you even love me at all?"

Michael let out a helpless laugh, entirely used to her antics. He played along with the joke, but then his eyes caught his famously stoic, buttoned-up uncle sitting nearby. A mischievous glint crossed Michael's face.

"Uncle Declan, what about you? How would you answer that?"

The man, who rarely cracked a smile, swirled the amber liquid in his glass. "I did visit."
