Chapter 4

My head was spinning, the world tilting beneath me.

Alexander had finally made his move.

He was telling me loud and clear: the 15 million dollars wasn't compensation, it was just a handout.

He could snatch it back any time he felt like it.

And with this agreement, he could publicly humiliate me, nail me to the pillar of shame for good.

He could turn me from a rich man's ex-wife with a sky-high divorce payout into a complete fraud, only worth a pathetic 150 thousand dollars.

My phone buzzed.

It was a text from Alexander.

Just a few words.
