The Discarded Woman's Rise

I was just a paralegal, Ava Miller, trapped in a life I didn't choose, yet owed everything to Ethan Vance.

He' d swooped in years ago, paying off my crushing student loans and mom's medical bills, making me his "savior."

My job at his company and the lavish apartment he provided were constant reminders of my dependence, a gilded cage I' d willingly entered.

Then, the termination letter landed on my desk.

Fired. Effective immediately.

No warning, just a cold "restructuring."

But I knew the truth: his ex, Chloe Davenport, the one he never got over, was back in town.
