Chapter 2: The Truth Behind the Marriage
News traveled faster than anyone expected.
Every business network covered the shocking leadership change.
"CEO Removed by Hidden Majority Owner."
"The Wife Who Controlled the Empire."
"The Billion-Dollar Divorce."
Meanwhile, reporters dug into Isabella's past.
The truth stunned the public.
She wasn't an unemployed housewife.
She held degrees from Oxford and Harvard.
She had negotiated international acquisitions before turning thirty.

Money changed him.
Power changed him.

Not because he believed in Lucas.
Because Isabella believed in her husband.
Until she no longer could.
Watching the interviews now, Isabella felt no anger.
