Chapter 12 - Flashbacks Reveal The Painful Truth Of Past Deceptions
Memories of the past flashed through Eleanor’s mind like frames from an old cinematic thriller.
She remembered standing on this exact red carpet five years ago, blindly trusting a man who built his empire on lies.

“You think you replaced me, sweetheart, but you merely inherited a ticking time bomb,” Eleanor whispered to herself.
The trauma of her past had not broken her; it had forged her into an unforgiving corporate predator.
