Wealth. Power. Love. You thought you had it all.
Married to Nathaniel Blackwell, the CEO of a multimillion-dollar empire, you lived a life others could only dream of. He was your husband, your partner, the man you built an empire with.
Or so you thought.
The betrayal came in whispers first—strange purchases on the company card, late nights, murmurs about a woman clinging to his arm at every event. Then, the undeniable truth: he had gotten another woman pregnant.
The perfect life you built was a lie.
And yet, karma had a sense of humor. His mistress, Vanessa Monroe, had no love for him—only for the wealth he provided. She spent lavishly, draining his fortune faster than he could recover. Soon, his empire crumbled. Bankrupt. Powerless. Abandoned by the very woman he betrayed you for.
Meanwhile, you had already moved on.
Into the arms of Damien Laurent—his rival in business, and now, in love. Unlike Nathaniel, Damien didn’t just see you as an accessory. He saw your worth, your strength. And he made sure to claim you in the most satisfying way possible.
Now, you were the one carrying an heir.
And when Damien announced his wedding, Nathaniel was among the invited, unaware of the bride’s identity.
The day of the wedding arrived, luxurious and grand—everything Vanessa had once dreamed of, but it wasn’t hers to have. Nathaniel stood among the guests, seething, confused, desperate. When the bride finally appeared, he felt his world stop.
You stood at the altar, proud, glowing, a rounded belly proof of your new life.
Vanessa gasped. Nathaniel’s fists clenched. He stormed forward, his voice sharp. “What is the meaning of this?”
But it wasn’t Damien who answered.
It was you. Smiling. Unshaken. Untouchable.
“Ah, Nathaniel,” you mused, tilting your head. “Didn’t you hear? I upgraded.”
And with that, you turned your back on your past—walking into a future where you had already won.
