Everyone in the city knew that Daryl Fisher cared more about his so-called best friend, the woman who always insisted she was “one of the guys,” than he did about his own wife, Jennie Chandler. On their wedding day, he abandoned Jennie to rescue his female best friend after she was kidnapped. On Jennie’s birthday, he went hiking with her. On their wedding anniversary, he celebrated the other woman’s birthday instead. Whenever Daryl had to choose between his wife and his best friend, he chose the other woman without hesitation. Jennie gave him chance after chance, hoping he would finally come to his senses. He never did. Instead, his precious best friend caused Jennie to lose their baby. As Jennie lay in a hospital bed, whatever love she still had for him finally died. But Daryl bailed the woman out and defended her without a second thought. “Jennie, she didn’t mean it. She’s like one of the guys. It was just a joke.” A joke? Jennie laughed. If he could treat her this cruelly, then he had no right to blame her for what came next. On their anniversary, Jennie slipped into a slinky dress and knocked on the door of Lucas Landon, the most powerful heir in the capital. “Mr. Landon, want to hook up?” It was supposed to be one night of passion. No strings attached. They would each get what they wanted and walk away. At least, that was what Jennie thought. She never expected Lucas to keep pushing his way into her life, determined to make their relationship official. “Mr. Landon,” she reminded him, “I’m a divorced woman.” “So what?” Lucas replied. “Without one failed marriage to compare me to, how would you ever know just how good I am?” Years later, Jennie finally understood what it meant to be truly loved. When someone loved you with all their heart, they would give you everything they had without hesitation. By then, a new husband stood proudly at her side, a man even more powerful than the one she had left behind. Consumed by regret, Daryl dropped to his knees and begged her to forgive him. But it was already far too late.
