“After three years of being billionaire Dorr Randall's hidden lover, Bailey was dismissed with a seven-figure check. He coldly announced he was marrying an "old friend" for a family alliance, fully expecting her to break down and beg. Instead, Bailey calmly pocketed the money, signed the separation papers, and walked out of his penthouse without looking back. Seeking temporary refuge, she returned to her estranged, abusive family's estate, only to be struck by a cruel twist of fate. The prestigious fiancé her stepmother and stepsister were so desperately fawning over was none other than Dorr. Her stepmother looked at her with pure disgust, treating her like a stray dog. "Don't you dare bring your bad luck and disgrace into this house while he's here." At the family dinner, Bailey wore a flawless mask of indifference, politely greeting the completely stunned Dorr as her future brother-in-law. But instead of keeping his distance, Dorr lost his mind, stalking her through the city and cornering her in a fit of insane, possessive jealousy. When he impulsively canceled the wedding, her stepfamily viciously blamed Bailey, cursing her as a jealous homewrecker and throwing her out. Exhausted by their endless cruelty and Dorr's suffocating hypocrisy, Bailey decided she was done being their punching bag. She accepted a life-changing offer from the one person who could crush them all: Dorr's formidable grandmother. At the city's grandest charity gala, Bailey stepped into the dazzling spotlight as the Matriarch's official protégée and the sudden heir to half of their billionaire trust. Looking down at her stepfamily's terrified faces and Dorr's horrified eyes, she finally smiled.”
