This Time, I'm Walking Away from My Husband and Stepdaughter to Live My Own Life

Synopsis

For twelve long years, I gave up everything selflessly-delaying my photography exhibitions, giving up advanced studies in New York, and even swallowing the heartbreak of never having my own biological child-all just to give my stepdaughter a complete home. But on the eve of her eighteenth birthday bash, I caught her conspiring with her best friend outside her bedroom door. "Eleanor is nothing more than a free maid and an ATM. Once the fundraiser wraps up and I secure that $300,000 college trust fund, I'll make my dad divorce the old hag and bring my real mom back!" To make it even more ironic, that $10,000 couture gown her birth mother was flaunting? Bought with a stolen swipe of my authorized credit card. Father and daughter treated me like a complete fool, scheming for my wealth and connections, just waiting to bleed me dry of every last cent. Well, this time, I'm done playing nice. "My love is expensive, and you've completely maxed out your credit."
