Love's Betrayal, Fortune's Irony

I gave up my art scholarship to put my boyfriend, Armand, through law school. I worked three jobs and even took a knife for him, believing his promise that we would build an empire together.

But the day he became a star lawyer, I found him kissing his client, Cassandra, in the snow.

The shock caused a miscarriage. When I tried to end my life, he brought his mistress to my hospital bed to call me a lunatic.

He then used my family to blackmail me, forcing me to play the perfect wife while he flaunted his affair.

For years, I was his broken trophy, a testament to his power. He had the career I funded, the woman he chose, and complete control over my life.

But on the night his mistress held me at knifepoint on a skyscraper rooftop, she didn't kill me.

She turned and plunged the knife into Armand's chest instead.

And as his legal wife, I inherited everything.
