As the only daughter of a business mogul in Elowen, I refused to accept the arranged marriage my family planned for me. So I left. That's when I met Leonard Olson, a brilliant tech star. We started dating. He brought me into the tech scene, took care of me, and opened doors for my career. But he never made "us" public. Then one day, I overheard him talking to his assistant. He said, his tone casual and dismissive, "There's a purity about her... you don't see in those influencer models. She hits the spot physically. "Plenty of women want a piece of me. Picking her was a favor. Even if she makes it in tech, with her background, she's still not in my league." He added, "I'm already engaged to the Sterling Corporation heiress. We'll announce it after their IPO." Every word was cold and calculated. And I wasn't part of any of it. It hit me then. All his affection and kindness were fake. I was just another one of his playthings. So I called my dad. It was time to make sure everyone, who'd ever hurt me, pay for what they'd done.
