High-Stakes Betrayal Hand

The "scorned woman" trope usually ends with a quiet exit and a fresh start. But tech tycoon Abigail Bennett doesn't do quiet. When her fiancé elopes with her best friend hours before their own engagement party and challenges her to a "winner-takes-all" gambling match to settle the score, they expect a humiliated victim. They forgot one thing: you never bet against the person who built the table. Abigail isn't playing for her dignity; she’s playing for every cent of their inheritance, their reputations, and their very last breath of social standing. In this game, the house doesn’t always win—the woman with the vendetta does.
