The Sequel of "Captivated By Her"
Three years have passed since Marilyn D'Angelo last saw Sevan Clifford, and in that time, Marilyn's life has taken a dramatic turn. Now a mother to a three-year-old daughter, Sevan's child, Marilyn has kept this secret buried, unsure of how to reveal the truth. From the moment she met Sevan, there have been hidden layers between them, and Marilyn has only grown more calculating and ruthless in guarding them. She remains the same breathtaking woman, her beauty as striking as ever, but there's a colder edge to her now. Her cunning has sharpened, and she continues to wear her "bitch" persona like armor, shielding herself from any vulnerability.
Sevan, now 25, has been shaped by the pain of what transpired between them. Her jewelry empire, Clifford's Exotic Gems, has soared in success, placing her among the wealthiest in her industry. But that success has come at a cost. Sevan has grown distant and emotionally hardened, pouring herself into her work to avoid the unresolved hurt left by Marilyn. A workaholic to an unhealthy degree, Sevan has also turned to alcohol to cope, her once-open heart now a fortress of isolation and detachment. Though richer and more powerful than ever, Sevan's life has become a lonely, hollow pursuit of success, haunted by what she lost.
