After three years of marriage, Leonard Shaw slapped divorce papers in my face—all because his first love had come back. At that very moment, he was down on one knee, gently slipping a pair of globally limited edition crystal slippers onto her feet. His personal assistant, Elliott Grant, sneered. “Stella Langley, take the 15 hundred thousand dollars and get lost. Stop embarrassing Mr. Shaw. Without the Shaw family backing you, a nobody orphan like you will be begging.” I looked down at the crumpled check and laughed. Right in front of them, I tore it to shreds and stuffed the pieces into the assistant’s mouth. “15 hundred thousand? That wouldn’t even cover the fuel for my private jet.” I dialed a number that hadn’t rung in three years. “George, I’m tired of the Shaw Group. I want it bankrupt. You have three minutes.” The moment I finished speaking, Leonard’s phone started buzzing uncontrollably. Within one minute, he had lost everything. And me? I boarded a helicopter surrounded by bodyguards—a world he could never touch.
