Chapter 1

Seven months pregnant. I found an expired asset transfer agreement in Julian's hidden safe in his study.

Twenty percent of Vance Group's shares, worth billions. Plus three overseas estates and a private island.

All gifted for free to my stepsister, Seraphina.

But when Julian and I got married, he only handed me a prenuptial agreement.

"A business alliance, just a formality," he had said casually back then. "Sign it."

I signed it, entering the Vance family with absolutely nothing.

Ten years of marriage, and I didn't even know his PIN code.

"Who allowed you into my study?"

Julian's voice came from the door, ice-cold.

I turned to look at this man I had loved for fifteen years.

No tears, no scene. I just said calmly, "Julian, let's get a divorce."

He strode in, snatched the agreement from my hand, and threw it to the floor.

"An old story from years ago, and you're making a scene over it?"

He didn't even explain. He just angrily told me to get out.

I calmly walked out of the study, pulled out my phone, and made a call.

"Marcus, help me find a safe place. I want to move out immediately."
