Betrayed. Broken. Gone.
Laura thought she had it all-a loving husband, a loyal best friend, and a life she cherished. But everything shatters the night she walks in on her husband, Lorenzo, tangled in sheets with her best friend, Victoria. Heartbroken, she demands answers, but instead of remorse, Lorenzo coldly tosses divorce papers in her face. Her pleas fall on deaf ears, and with no choice left, she signs them and leaves.
But Laura has one secret-a secret she takes with her as she disappears from his life.
Five Years Later...
Laura Roberts has risen from the ashes, now the powerful billionaire heiress to her father's empire. Her past feels like a distant memory-until a reporter's probing question pulls her back into the spotlight.
"Miss Roberts, can you finally tell us what really happened with your husband five years ago?"
Before she can respond, a familiar voice interrupts, dripping with confidence.
"You will not ask my wife any further questions about me. I never stopped loving her," Lorenzo declares, stepping out of the shadows.
Stunned, Laura spins around. How did he find her?
"I'm not your wife!" she fires back, her voice steady.
"Not yet, darling. But I've made arrangements. We're getting remarried... *today.*"

"What the hell!?" I look at my husband and supposedly best friend on his desk. "Baby, it's not what it looks like" He gets up and tries to pull his pants up. "Save it! This is why you have been distant with me, because you were seeing-her! I can't believe you!" He starts walking towards me "Please baby I just...I don't know it was a mistake I swear!" He looks me in the eye and tries to grab my hands, but I slap them away from me. "No! The only mistake made was trusting you!" I turn around and walk away "Be ready to sign the divorce papers Nick!"
