My husband, Cyrus Knox, had been pulling in six figures a year. He was young, brilliant, and the kind of man everyone envied. His only flaw? He'd married me, the spoiled rich girl who supposedly knew nothing and spent everything. Three years in, he finally couldn't stand my "uselessness" anymore. Using work as an excuse, he insisted his sharp, no-nonsense secretary, Judith Dorsey, move into our home. He looked at me with fake, patronizing gentleness. "Leona, Judith is good at her job. If she stays, she can handle things anytime. It's for our family too. Just think of her as a younger sister, alright?" I saw it all: the ambition he couldn't hide, and the admiration in his eyes for Judith. And behind him, Judith stood there, smiling all soft and harmless at me. My heart went cold. I nodded, playing the clueless, obedient wife he thought I was. What he didn't know was that the "ace secretary" he paid a fortune for was a plant from my father's company. And every move Cyrus thought he controlled had been part of my plan all along.
