From Betrayal to Reclamation

Synopsis

I couldn't breathe as I stared at my phone screen, my thumb frozen mid-scroll. The exclusive London socialite group chat—the one I'd been added to only last week—had suddenly gone silent for me as my eyes locked onto the images that shouldn't have been there. My images. Private photos I'd only ever shared with one person. Marcus Sterling. My fiancé. The man I was supposed to marry in three months. "Gentlemen, a preview of the merchandise," his message read above the photos. "Still needs some final polishing before the wedding, but thought you'd appreciate a sneak peek." My stomach lurched as comments from London's elite sons flooded in beneath: "Sterling, you lucky bastard." "Is she house-trained yet?" "I'll offer double whatever your father paid for that one." The Laurent family heiress. The perfect society daughter.
