Before Wedding, He Had Child

What if the woman who saved your life—and the one you discarded for a lie—was the only person who could truly make you whole? For years, Ellie sacrificed her elite career ambitions to build a future with James, only to be abandoned when he chose his manipulative ex and a debt of gratitude that didn't even belong to her. But what if Ellie could vanish from the ruins of her wedding and transform into the powerhouse scientist she was always meant to be? While James realizes his fatal mistake and searches for the woman who actually took a bullet for him, Ellie is trading her heartbreak for a top-secret defense lab and a new life where she isn't just a partner, but a leader. In this world of high-stakes science and deep betrayal, she’s about to prove that the most dangerous thing you can do is underestimate a woman who has finally decided to put herself first.
