“Kate's two-year marriage to billionaire Iverson Russo was nothing but a cold business transaction to save her family from ruin. The fragile illusion shattered when she discovered his lie. While he claimed to be in an urgent board meeting, a leaked photo proved he was actually escorting her "perfect" sister, Wendy, into a luxury hotel. When Kate packed her bags and demanded a divorce, Iverson didn't even bother to explain. Instead, he coldly dialed her father on speakerphone. "The next time she mentions divorce, the Mathis Group will be wiped off the map, and you will spend the rest of your life in prison." Without hesitation, her father offered Kate up as a sacrifice, begging Iverson to punish her however he saw fit. To silence her, Iverson casually tossed a million-dollar diamond watch at her feet. "This is for your trouble." Kate stared at the shattered diamonds on the floor, her heart turning to ash. She had given up her dreams and dignity for this family, only to be betrayed by her sister, abandoned by her father, and held hostage by a cruel husband. She locked herself in the bedroom, her tears drying into an icy resolve. Pulling a hidden laptop from the bottom drawer, she turned it on. The screen flickered to life, displaying the login page of a massive, anonymous online empire. She typed in her username: VelvetAcid.”
