The protagonist of "Behind Every Fortune" is Olivia, the billionaire's wife who used dubious methods to establish an empire. Olivia battles with the shame and guilt of knowing that her opulent lifestyle was financed by unlawful activities, while her husband basks in his wealth and power. Olivia struggles with the burden of her conscience and grows further distant from her husband and the high society circles they frequent. She starts to wonder if the fame and fortune she previously craved are really worth the price of her soul. Olivia understands that she has a duty to utilize her position to use her husband's wealth to have a positive effect on the world as she digs deeper into the truth about it. She embarks on a mission to right the wrongs her husband perpetrated with the assistance of a few unexpected allies, employing her riches and power to bring about significant change. The stakes, however, are much higher than Olivia could have expected as she gets more fully embroiled in her endeavor. Strong adversaries who will do whatever to safeguard their interests and prevent the truth from coming to light have taken notice of her actions. Olivia must choose how far she is prepared to go in order to get the truth and put things right as the stress and danger increase. Will she decide to put everything on the line to reveal the crimes that led to her money, or will she opt to safeguard her own interests at all costs?

Chapter 1 The Cost Of Wealth

First chapter: The Cost of Wealth

Olivia watched the sun come up over the metropolitan skyline as she sat in her opulent penthouse apartment's window. She could see the infinite sea of skyscrapers and the bustling throng below from her vantage point high above the busy streets, all moving at a feverish speed.

Olivia, though, felt hollow within despite the stunning vista. Designer clothing, a private aircraft, and access to the most elite events in the world were all at her disposal. But because she was aware of how everything had been acquired, she felt that it was all hollow.

David, her rich spouse, had acquired his wealth by using dubious methods. He was an expert manipulator, using his huge resources to achieve his goals no matter what the price. And as he basked in his money and power, Olivia battled with the guilt and shame of knowing that her opulent lifestyle was supported by criminal activity.

She had tried to ignore her conscience, to push away the nagging feeling that something was wrong. But as time went on, the weight of her guilt grew heavier, until it was a constant presence in her mind.

Olivia had tried several times to talk to David about it, to convince him to change his ways and use his wealth for good. But he always brushed her off, telling her that she was being naive and that the world was a harsh place where only the strong survived.

And so Olivia found herself increasingly isolated, cut off from the world around her by her own guilt and shame. She spent her days in the penthouse, surrounded by expensive trinkets and empty luxury, searching for some kind of meaning in her life.

But as she delved deeper into her thoughts, Olivia began to realize that she had a unique responsibility to use her position to make a positive impact on the world. She had seen firsthand the suffering and injustice that David's actions had caused, and she knew that she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

With the help of some unexpected allies, Olivia began to quietly use her wealth and influence to create meaningful change. She donated money to charities, started her own foundation to support education and healthcare initiatives, and worked tirelessly and hard behind the scenes to push for social and environmental justice.

At first, Olivia felt a glimmer of hope, a sense of purpose that had been missing from her life for so long. But as she became more deeply involved in her mission, she realized that the stakes were higher than she ever could have imagined.

Her actions had attracted the attention of powerful unknown enemies, who saw her as a threat to their own interests. They would stop at nothing to protect their wealth and power, and they were not afraid to use violence to get what they wanted.

Olivia knew that she was in a serious danger, but she also knew that she can't back down so easily. She had come too far, had risked too much, to turn back now. She had to see this through, to uncover the truth behind her husband's fortune and make things right.

And so Olivia steeled herself for what lay ahead, knowing that the road would be long and treacherous. But she was determined to keep going, to fight for what she believed in, no matter the cost. For behind every fortune, there was a price to be paid, and Olivia was ready to pay it.

For him, she was the completion of his dream, a perfect wife and a mother to be with his children. He would give her everything including his own life. He would sacrifice his world for her.

Even though the truth is the opposite of what he is doing. His heart still aching for her. And that's when he met me. I applied as his Personal Assistant to fulfill my bucket list of dreams. To explore my life and experience everything. He offered me a deal. He asked me to marry him just to show his ex that he already moved on. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "She's pregnant." He blurted out and i almost stumbled on where i am standing. I just gripped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart is unbearable but i managed to stay calm. "Wow! Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement as i remembered him saying... -cheating would not be the reason to break our marriage- of course i couldn't accuse him of this as 'cheating' because she was the real reason why we are pretending as a couple. He still love her. He's still inlove with her. And that's when i made the biggest decision in my life. Taking all my strength and a piece of my heart that still hanging on a thin rope... I left him. Taking also my biggest secret in me... that i've already fallen inlove with him. And somehow i learned a lesson; 'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who still inlove with his ex and who only uses you to get her back again into his life..'
