Betrayal in Bloom

I spent a decade building Harlow Tech from the shadows, content to let my childhood sweetheart, Stefan, wear the crown while I remained his silent partner and loyal wife. But then, amidst the blooming roses of a Queenstown gala, I lay gasping for air from a near-fatal allergy while Stefan stepped over my body to hand the keys to our estate to his mistress. They thought they had finally buried the "discarded housewife" that night. They didn’t realize that from my hospital bed, I was already dismantling their empire, one leaked secret and one mass exodus at a time, until the only thing Stefan had left to offer me was a desperate, dying plea for the life he had already destroyed.
