The Funeral He Missed

I buried my mother on a Thursday. My husband was in Singapore, closing a deal. Then his assistant sent a wreath. It had the wrong name on it. That was the moment Mara Bennett finally understood the truth. Billionaire Grant Ellison could buy houses, companies, and silence. But he could not give her the one thing she needed most. His presence. For sixteen years, Mara waited. She waited through missed dinners, lonely anniversaries, empty hospital chairs, and a marriage dying in public silence. Now she is done waiting. She takes off her ring. Takes back her name. Takes back her life. But Grant is not ready to lose her. For the first time, the man who always won is learning that love is not a deal he can close. And when another man starts showing up for Mara in all the ways Grant never did, his regret becomes impossible to hide. He wants his wife back. She wants to know who she is without him. And this time, sorry will not be enough.
