For three years, Mia Johnson and Daniel Smith were known throughout elite circles as the epitome of a marriage built on pure spite. In the first year, Daniel pulled the plug on Mia's mother's life support. Mia retaliated by arranging a marriage for Daniel's father's ashes. The second year, Mia went after the child he cared for most. Daniel struck back by withdrawing his investments, bankrupting Johnson Group overnight. The third year, to settle the score, Mia exposed Daniel's scandalous affair to the public and then vanished without a trace. Four years later, they crossed paths at the same event. Daniel lounged lazily in a plush armchair, a cigarette glowing between his fingers, his arm draped around a rising starlet. A mocking smile played on his lips as he taunted, "Regretting it now, Mia? Too bad. I've moved on." The room erupted in knowing chuckles. Everyone whispered that Mia, desperate and with nowhere left to turn, had come back to beg. She lowered her gaze and glanced at the massive diamond glittering on her finger. What Daniel didn't know was that she had remarried years ago. Her new husband was younger, incredibly wealthy, with broad shoulders. As it turned out, he was exceptionally good in bed.
