Worth Nothing to Him Secret Millionaire Ex-Wife

Chloe's husband Mark boasts of a half-million-dollar income and tells her to spend freely, but every swipe of the card he gave her pings his phone. A six-dollar iced latte, a thirty-dollar blouse, a seventy-dollar skincare set: each purchase brings interrogation, insults and the demand that she account for every cent. He pushes her to quit her job and stay home, then mocks her as useless and unemployable.

One night his phone lights up with a thank-you message from a streamer called Princess Mia. Digging through his transaction history, Chloe finds he has poured over four hundred thousand dollars into that stranger's stream while berating her over pocket change. She says nothing and fights nothing.

Instead, she begins secretly studying for the CPA exam at the public library, hiding her books from Mark and returning each day to have dinner ready. The marriage is a trap, and she means to earn credentials no one can take from her.
