That night, my husband slid a document across the table. A divorce agreement dressed up like some bullshit business contract.

He planned to take the mansion, the company, even the gifts I got during our wedding and still expected me to keep slaving away, raising a child for him and his mistress like some obedient idiot!

He thought he could trick me into signing the divorce papers and leaving me with nothing.

What that shameless man didn’t know was that I had already changed the terms.

But soon, he'll understand what it feels like to lose everything.

After signing the papers, I turned around and left, going back to my room.

I picked up the phone and called overseas.

“Dad,” I said, “I’m getting divorced. I’ll come home. I’ll inherit the family estate. When I get back, I will sue Viggo and make him return all the investment money my family has made over the years!”

This time, I am no longer a woman asleep in the illusion of love.

As a woman who understands the truth, I will become a rising queen and reclaim everything!
