Ruinous Fidelity: 2

He showed up the day her life collapsed. Sleeves rolled. Coffee in hand. The perfect gentleman.After a brutal divorce strips Lila of everything-her home, her savings, her faith in love-her ex-husband's best friend steps in to help her pick up the pieces. Vaughn is steady where Derek was reckless. Patient where Derek was careless. Devoted in ways that make her forget she ever trusted the wrong man.But Vaughn doesn't do anything by accident.Every act of kindness is a calculated move. Every rescued emergency was engineered. Every whispered "good girl" is a chain disguised as praise. He didn't stumble into her broken life. He broke it himself-methodically, mercilessly, over three years-so he could rebuild her in his image.By the time she finds the truth locked in his desk, she's already wearing his clothes, sleeping in his bed, and breathing air he controls.The door is unlocked. She can leave anytime.She doesn't want to.
