Too Late For Regret: The Betrayed Heiress

About this story

Synopsis

Chloe Montgomery was supposed to marry Devon Hale, the man who faithfully stood by her when vicious rumors ruined her reputation five years ago. But while trying on wedding gowns, she overheard a conversation through a cracked door that shattered her world. "Paid the guy to spread those rumors, tank her reputation. Made her look like damaged goods no one else would touch." Devon was the one who destroyed her. Worse, he was only marrying her now to drain her trust fund to save his company, while secretly having an affair with her sister, Olivia. When Chloe confronted her family, her mother slapped her across the face and kicked her out. Days later, Olivia taunted Chloe with the truth, then deliberately threw herself into the freezing Hudson River, dragging Chloe down with her. Devon dove into the icy water without a second thought. But he swam straight past Chloe, hauling her fake-sobbing sister to safety and leaving Chloe to drown in the black depths. As her lungs burned and the darkness closed in, a soul-crushing despair washed over her. How could five years of supposed adoration be a calculated lie? Why did her own blood hate her enough to watch her die? But she didn't die. Pulled from the abyss by a Wall Street titan who publicly exposed their lie, the last shred of Chloe's fragile heart turned to steel. She went home, threw her diamond ring into the garbage disposal, and prepared to burn Devon's life to the ground.
