Divorced the CEO Who Broke Me Now He Begs on His Knees

To save her dying mother, Doris Harding accepted $500,000 from Aileen Gilbert and broke up with her son, Julian Gilbert. He refused to let her go, jumping from the fifth floor and shattering his leg, clutching her hand and vowing he would rather die than lose her. He got what he wanted—but on their wedding day, he swapped her gown and ring for cheap knockoffs, mocking her as a gold digger.

As Mrs. Gilbert, Doris needed approval to spend five dollars. When her mother's condition turned critical, she knelt all night begging Julian for $10,000 for surgery. He gave her a hundred-dollar bill and a sneer, then left to light sky lanterns for his new lover, Eve Fox. By the time Doris reached the hospital, her mother was already gone, her eyes still open.

Hollowed out, Doris brings divorce papers to Julian's office, only to be stopped by his assistant and forced to witness Eve draped across his lap. Julian tears the papers apart, throws money in her face, and has her thrown out into the street in torn clothes, where strangers' stares and worse await.
