Their marriage was a wealthy-family alliance, each getting what they wanted. She thought it was just a deal, but he carefully maneuvered at every turn, until she vanished without a trace, carrying divorce papers and their unborn child. When she returned, she was a formidable business queen. He, meanwhile, knelt before her, eyes red as he begged her to come home.
Theme: This book aims to show that love should not be a game of control and scheming.
Equality and respect are the foundation of intimacy. The heroine does not rely on men. She pursues justice through her own abilities, proving that a woman's worth does not need to be validated by marriage. The hero, too, sheds his arrogance through loss and regret, learns to relinquish his need for control, and discovers how to love sincerely. The rights and wrongs between them must ultimately be settled according to the law. Love cannot erase wrongdoing, and redemption never comes from another person's forgiveness, but from taking responsibility and making amends.
