Chapter 1After my divorce, my ex-husband had nothing.

It was the third year of my marriage to Alexander.

He was 35.

I was barely 21, just a senior in college.

I hadn’t even decided if I wanted to be a full-time housewife.

That’s when I overheard him chatting with a bunch of industry big shots:

“Chloe brings nothing to the table besides her youth.

“Compared to her, Serena is so much more sophisticated and sharp. I’m actually starting to regret getting married. Keeping a young mistress costs next to nothing, but divorcing now? The financial hit would be massive.”

Without a word, I turned and handed him the divorce papers.

When he saw the white paper with black ink stating I’d walk away with absolutely nothing, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, feigning generosity, he said, “I’ll transfer twenty million to your account. Consider it compensation.”

I smiled and politely refused. “I’m still young. I can afford to play the game.”

What he didn’t know was that my brother, Julian, was a titan in the business world, a force to be reckoned with. Alex had only ever climbed his way into that elite circle thanks to Julian's unwavering support. Divorcing me?

His losses had only just begun.
