The Lawyer Who Rejected Me (Letters to Broken Hearts #2)

“Get rid of the baby. No one can know about this; let’s not turn it into a scandal.”

It was with these cruel words that the king of the courtroom destroyed his own empire and banished the only woman he ever loved.
Henrique was known in Curitiba as a ruthless, cold, and arrogant lawyer who lived for power, control, and his status at the most prestigious law firm in southern Brazil. He had no weaknesses… until he secretly became involved with Aline, the eighteen-year-old daughter of his boss and mentor. But when an unexpected pregnancy threatened to tarnish his impeccable reputation and his ego, Henrique made the most cowardly decision of his life: he threw the girl out onto the street in the middle of the night, demanding that she “take care of the problem.”
Raised in a gilded cage and molded to be her father’s perfect puppet, Aline saw her world come crashing down. Cast out, terrified, and determined to protect her baby, she fled in the middle of a storm.
Months later, the wall of ice crumbled. Remorse crushed the lawyer when he realized that his reign was nothing but ashes without her. The ruthless lawyer didn’t want to drag Aline back into his world; he was willing to grovel, beg, and spend the rest of his life pleading for her forgiveness just to be near her again.
But Aline was no longer the frightened girl from the bus station. She was her own woman, and now, all the power in the game was in her hands.
