In my previous life, I was so consumed by rage at seeing Lance Powell grow close to his junior colleague Melina that I threw one tantrum after another until I finally pushed him to divorce me. I signed the papers in a heartbeat. Head held high, I flung the settlement check back in his face and hissed the cruelest words I could muster. "Keep your pathetic money, Lance. You were nothing more than a stray my family took in. Without us, you're nothing." What I didn't know then was that the faster I walked away, the harder I fell. A month later, my family's empire crumbled overnight. Cast out and abandoned, I was left with nothing until the night a speeding car struck me down on a rain-slicked street, alone and forgotten. But fate offered a second chance. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the beginning. The very evening Lance first brought that ambitious junior home. This time, if we divorced, I wouldn't leave empty-handed. This time, I was taking half of everything that was his.
