My Daughter-in-Law Deserves Better

Before my best friend, April, threw herself into the pages of that trashy billionaire romance novel, she made me a promise. She swore, with the kind of confidence only a woman with a plan can have, that conquering the corporate ladder would be child’s play.

She bragged that she’d secure a three-hundred-million-dollar payout within a year and come back to take me on a world tour. I actually believed her. I thought she’d breeze through the plot, collect her check, and be home for Christmas.

I didn't expect the story to go completely off the rails.
