Once a Fool, Now a Queen
Betrayed. Abandoned. And Avenged with Triumph.
When I married Damian Carter, I believed in forever. In loyalty. In love that withstands time, success, and hardship. I was the woman who stood beside him when he was nothing, who helped him build his empire, who sacrificed everything so he could become the man he always wanted to be.
And when he finally got there—when he was rich, powerful, untouchable—he threw me away like last night’s mistake.
He didn’t just cheat. He rewrote our story, twisting the truth until I was nothing more than a pathetic, useless wife clinging to his fortune. The world believed him. My own family doubted me. I lost everything.
But they were all wrong about me.
I didn’t break. I didn’t shatter. I rebuilt.
With the help of a man who saw me for who I really was, I built my own empire. I exposed Damian’s secrets, stripped away his power, and took back everything they said I never could.
And when he came crawling back, whispering apologies, asking for another chance—his voice trembling with regret—I simply smiled.
Because I wasn’t that woman anymore.
And more than that, I had finally found a man who never needed to lose me to understand my worth.
