I'd always been extremely goal-oriented. When I was seven, my dad cheated, and my parents divorced. Without hesitation, I chose to live with the wealthier parent dad. Life was better with him, and I could also slowly squeeze money out of him to help my mom. Later, my stepmother and stepsister gave me plenty of trouble. I found my dad a few beautiful secretaries and pretended to have a crush on a certain guy. My stepmother was too busy guarding against the new mistress who might follow in her footsteps, while my stepsister was too busy trying to steal the guy I supposedly loved. That gave me plenty of peace and quiet to focus on my studies. I was pretty, smart, and knew exactly how to use my advantages. After graduating from college, I finally got my wish and married Edward, the only son of one of the city's richest families. We were deeply in love. Until the first time Edward forgot our anniversary, and his new assistant posted a photo of two wine glasses clinking with the caption: [Thanks to my amazing boss for the meal!] It seemed someone was trying to swoop in and reap the rewards of everything I'd worked so hard to build.
