For seven years, I was Ben Harper's secret wife. I helped build his dream, believing that one day he would finally tell the world I was his wife. Instead, at the pre-opening gala for the hotel I designed, he got down on one knee and proposed to another woman. Then he faced the cameras and called me "just an outside consultant." That same night, I discovered why he still came home to me. He needed me to finish one last design. Once I did, he planned to divorce me and give another woman everything we had built together. So I went home with him. I let him kiss me goodnight. Then I waited for him to fall asleep-and took the one thing he still needed from me.
