Thirty years of marriage. Twenty years of deception. Amani thought she knew the price of love-until she discovered her husband had been paying others all along. When she finds explicit photos from his "business trip" and catches him texting his masseuse, she realizes their Parisian paradise has been built on betrayal.
Ash believes love is transactional: he provides, she serves, everyone stays in their place. But when Amani finally finds her voice after two decades of silence, he's about to learn what happens when the woman who used to be his discovers what she's really worth.
A story of awakening, reclamation, and the devastating power of a woman who stops accepting crumbs and demands the whole feast.
Not all affairs end in divorce. Some end in revolution.
