As the boss, I stood alone on stage at the Crown Night Club's anniversary celebration in Ravenport. Damian Wolfe, the Wolfe Clan's heir and my boyfriend of six years, suddenly strode in, arm in arm with a girl dressed in a white gown. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and then deliberately loosened the clasp on her wristlet, letting the black card peek halfway out. My name was embossed right there on the card. The whole room fell silent. Everyone watched me, waiting for me to explode, to embarrass myself, or maybe to swallow my pride like I had for the past six years, all for Damian's so-called greater good. In their clan, human partners were always treated as less than. Damian walked up the steps and said Maggie had just come back and didn't know the rules. He hoped that I wouldn't take it to heart. He forgot that the black card was linked to the inheritance my mother left me. Six years ago, I gave it to him so his clan wouldn't look down on him. Now, six years later, he used it to keep another woman. I called security and froze all his family's privileges right there in front of everyone. Because three days ago, I'd already submitted a new engagement application. It wasn't for Damian. It was for someone Damian would have to bow to whenever he saw their name in the clan records.
