Everyone thought Astrid married up.
What they didn't know-she was always the one out of his league.
For two years, Astrid was the silent force behind the Ellsworth empire. She played the obedient wife, stayed out of the spotlight, and turned a crumbling corporation into a market leader-all while being treated like a disposable accessory.
When her husband Kieran brought home his "true love" and asked for a divorce, she didn't cry.
He thought she'd fall apart without him.
Instead, she rose-faster, higher, and fiercer than anyone imagined.
Now, world-class corporations fight for her signature.
Top medical institutes beg for her guidance.
Powerful men compete for her heart.
And her ex?
He's watching, helpless, as the woman he threw away becomes the one woman he can never reach again.
Now he kneels, pleading for forgiveness.
She doesn't even slow down.
