After my ex-girlfriend swindled me out of my money and used me for sex, a rich heiress taught the scumbag a lesson, pulled me out of the gutter, and made me a top-tier star. Five years later, I learned I was nothing but a stand-in for the man she’d always loved. Everything she had done for me was meant to build me up just so she could bring me crashing down. When her first love exposed the truth with reporters at our wedding, I smiled and pulled out a stack of property deeds and share certificates. I hadn’t spent those five years lost in an illusory dream of wealth and privilege. I’d worked hard to improve myself. I turned and walked away, never expecting that the woman who had treated me like a pawn would risk her life to protect me when I was kidnapped.
