The Devoted Betrayal

Everyone in Sydney sees my husband, James, as a saint—the devoted caregiver selflessly nursing his "frail" first love through her darkest hours. In their eyes, I’m the cold, workaholic professor too bitter to appreciate a beautiful act of mercy. But this isn’t a heartwarming tale of rediscovered romance; it’s a calculated betrayal funded by my blood, sweat, and decades of sacrifice. My children called me cruel when I demanded a divorce, choosing the manipulative mistress and her family over their own mother. But now the money is gone, the "noble" caregiver has been discarded, and they’ve all come crawling back to the woman they once shunned. They’re about to learn that while James was busy playing the martyr, I was busy learning how to thrive without him.
