Synopsis
application rejected. On my tenth try, the truth finally came out: our marriage certificate was fake. James had already married Evelyn, the woman he claimed was his late brother’s widow, and he’d been lying to me for ten years. Worse, he thought I was completely dependent on him. He froze my cards, stranded me with a $150,000 restaurant bill, let Evelyn and her son take over my home, and even slapped me to defend them. What James never knew was that everything he was so proud of—his career, his status, his comfortable life—had been built with my money and my connections. The moment he signed our home over to Evelyn and let everyone treat me like some broke outsider, I was done. Ten years of love? He can have it. But everything that belongs to me? I’m taking it all back.
