The Secret Parrish Heiress Strikes Back

For three years, I played the perfect, invisible wife to billionaire Dempsey Everett.

But late one night, he walked in smelling of another woman's perfume and threw a thick divorce agreement onto the coffee table.

"Darcy is back. Sign it."

The terms were brutal, a complete wipeout that left me with nothing but the clothes on my back.

To make matters worse, his true love Darcy sought me out to humiliate me, smirking that I was just a convenient placeholder keeping his bed warm.

Even his mother immediately paraded Darcy around the estate in family heirlooms, treating me like worthless trash they couldn't wait to discard.

I stared at the cold, heavy divorce papers, my chest tightening with pain, until my eyes caught the signature line at the bottom.

Elinor Parish.

A missing 'r'.

After three years of sharing a home, a bed, and a life, my husband didn't even know how to spell my last name.

All my patience, my quiet acceptance, and the love I had poured into this man had been a cosmic, cruel joke.

The realization hit me like a physical blow, but the heartbreak quickly vanished, replaced by a white-hot fury.

I swung my arm and slapped him across his arrogant face with every ounce of my suppressed pain, then signed the document without a second thought.

Dempsey thought I was just a poor dropout who would beg for his scraps.

He had no idea I was hiding my true identity.

It was time the Everetts learned what it truly meant to cross the real Parrish royalty.
