BITTER-SWEET REVENGE
I gave Kenny everythingāmy love, my future, my dreams. I dropped out of school, worked multiple jobs, and sacrificed my ambitions to send him abroad. Seven years of loyalty, only to find him slipping a ring onto another womanās finger.
Back then, Kenny had nothing. I was his rock, his provider, his everything. But everything changed when he discovered the truth about his origins.
"You're useless, Ivana. An illiterate nobody. I could never marry someone like you."
His fiancee smirked, resting a hand on her stomachāpregnant with his child. Kenny, once the man who swore forever to me, now looked at me like I was dirt beneath his feet.
Thatās when I learned the painful truth:
A man's love isn't measured in his lowest state, but when he rises.
And Kenny had risenāwithout me.
Shattered, I ran. I didn't know where until I found myself at a railway entrance, tears blurring my vision.
"Having a bad day?"
A deep, smooth voice pulled me from my despair. Josh Williams. A billionaire with his own game. He offered me a dealāone that would change everything.
"Marry me. No strings attached. You need a fresh start, and I need a wife."
But what I didnāt know?
Josh was Kennyās brother.
And his proposal wasnāt just about saving meāit was about buying time.
Then the wedding flyers surfaced. Kenny lost it. He couldnāt stand the idea of me being with Josh, and their father was even worse. An illiterate like me had no place in their family.
And just like that, the battle lines were drawnālove, power, and inheritance at stake.
This time, I wasnāt just playing.
I was winning.
