Her Husband Cheated, and She Tore Down the Wealthy Family for a Triumphant Revenge!

Julia has spent five years married to Gabriel Hall, believing his long hours and endless excuses were sacrifices made for their future. When chest pain sends her to the hospital alone, she finds him there with Harper Jenkins, a childhood friend he holds with a tenderness he has never shown his wife. Back home, his teasing and his refusal to acknowledge her pain make one truth impossible to ignore: for Harper, he always has time.

At a bar with her best friend Sophia Patel, Julia overhears Gabriel in a private lounge. He never loved her, he says; her family's company was only a means to an end, and she was a pawn he kept under his control for years. Harper turns and smiles as if she has already won.

When Gabriel brings Harper to the apartment Julia bought with her own money and raises his hand against her, Julia does not flinch. She dares him to strike, and he hesitates.
