His Placeholder Bride, My Bitter Revenge

On the eve of my wedding to Grant Sutton, the heir to a vast real estate empire, I discovered the devastating truth. I wasn't his great love; I was just a convenient replacement for his wild, untamable ex, Ivory.

He didn't love me. He loved that I was a polished, "suitable" version of the woman he truly wanted.

When I walked away, he didn't just let me go. He destroyed me. After I published an exposé on his company's shady dealings, he had me fired and systematically ruined my reputation, painting me as a vengeful liar in the press.

My own family turned on me, furious.
