“Hadley dragged her injured body back to New York, enduring severe decompression sickness just to surprise her husband of three years. But when she pushed open the doors to his penthouse office, she found her stepsister, Eleanor, sitting on his lap. Instead of feeling guilty, Julian scowled and scolded Hadley for not knocking. He completely ignored her pale face and the horrific bruises on her collarbone. When Eleanor mocked her near-fatal diving accident, Julian simply told Hadley to stop causing drama. He laughed at her demand for a divorce, swearing she would be sleeping on the streets within a week. To punish her, he drafted a brutal agreement that stripped her of every single penny, fully expecting her to break down. "You leave me, and you have nothing. You'll come crawling back." For three years, Hadley had given up her career as a brilliant marine biologist to be his perfect, quiet wife. She had endured his coldness, thinking she could warm his heart, but all she got was utter humiliation. She finally saw him for exactly what he was. Without shedding a single tear, Hadley signed the ruthless divorce papers in front of the media and walked away empty-handed. But as Julian waited for her inevitable surrender, a fleet of bulletproof Maybachs pulled up to the curb. The head of the world's most powerful family stepped out, wrapping his coat around her. It was time for the true Beaumont heiress to go home.”
