Too Late For Regret, Mr. Spencer

About this story

Synopsis

For five years, Lydia Haley buried her identity as a genius Hollywood screenwriter to be the perfect wife to billionaire Blake Spencer. But her sacrifice was rewarded with a nightmare. At a family dinner, her mother-in-law coldly ordered her to leave the family, while her seven-year-old son deliberately shattered her precious anniversary gift. "I hate you! Aunt Danica said I can do whatever I want!" Blake didn't even look at Lydia's tears. He stepped over the broken glass to comfort their son, indulging the boy's demands. The final blow came when Danica proudly revealed a devastating secret. Three years ago, a hidden car accident had left Blake inexplicably indebted to Danica. Since then, he had been systematically compensating her, giving Danica the affection, the family vacations, and the children's love that rightfully belonged to Lydia. Lydia's world crumbled. Her failing marriage wasn't about fading love; it was a carefully orchestrated replacement built on a secret everyone knew but her. Why was she the only one kept in the dark to suffer this humiliation? Instead of begging, Lydia signed the divorce papers, giving up all assets and custody. She walked out of the mansion, unlocked a dusty hard drive, and resurrected her true name: Lark. With a three-million-dollar movie deal secured, she was ready for her rebirth—until she saw her missing mother's heirloom bracelet suddenly surface at an anonymous high-stakes auction.
