Chapter 1

For three years, I served Serena Sinclair like a beaten dog — swallowing her mockery, her contempt, and every cutting word she threw at me. I even stood there and watched her writhing in the hot spring pool with her so-called "best guy friend," water splashing, her breathless moans filling the air.

Everyone laughed at me. They called me a spineless cuckold, a freeloader living off his wife. Even Serena believed I could never leave her.

But what she didn't know was that the man groping her freely in that water — I'd paid him a million dollars to be there.

And she had no idea that three years of this humiliating marriage was only the tip of the iceberg in my plan for revenge.

When my identity as the heir to a billion-dollar empire comes to light, when the family she's so proud of collapses overnight, when she's on her knees in the mud begging me to come back — I'll simply press my foot down on her face, look down at her, and smile. "Easy now. The gates of hell have only just opened for you."
