He Slept With Me, Then Put a Ring on My Maid

For twenty years, I loved Preston Payne. I saved him. I bankrolled his empire. I gave him my virginity—and he called it "an accident, best friends forever, right?"

Then he chose the maid's daughter over me. Watched her destroy my mother. Watched his men whip me bloody on my own living room floor. Watched me get drugged and left for dead.

He thought I'd never come back.

Three years later, I'm the Chairwoman of Bloom Bio, married to the richest heir in LA—and I'm here to bury Preston Payne, his golden girl, and every Gordon who ever called me a whore.

Best friend, my ass.
