I spent three years hiding who I really was, playing the perfect housewife because I loved him, but he only saw me as a useless trophy wife. My husband's secretary took my supplementary black card and threw lavish dinners at high-end restaurants, inviting all her friends. She mocked me in front of everyone and said, "Oh her? She's just Mr. Carter's little pet. Pretty to look at, but completely useless." I froze the card immediately, and she got detained right there in front of everyone because she couldn't pay the bill. When James Carter came home, he brushed it off like I was overreacting. He tapped my nose playfully and said, "Come on, babe. Why are you getting so worked up over some girl?" Something inside me died right then, and our three-year marriage died with it. I threw the divorce papers at him and pulled every resource he'd been living off. His company went bankrupt, and he knelt in front of me, begging through his tears, but I just stared at him coldly. I looked down at him and said, "James Carter, you never once respected me. And now you're learning that you can't afford to lose me."
