She is legally his wife, but in every public photo she’s invisible and the woman he adores sits on his arm. When Ivory Han accidentally hits a famous actress with her car, the scene becomes the excuse Donovan Knight has been waiting for. He offers money—cold, measured, and conditional. Divorce for fifty thousand? That would be easy. Ivory counters with a demand impossible on paper: fifty million. He laughs. He cares more about appearances than truth. He uses his power to choke her career, freeze investors, and make her family’s hospital bills impossible. But a quiet old classmate returns with his own bank account and a steady patience. An unexpected investor, a director with a stubborn streak, and a marriage contract with a bleeding clause give Ivory options she never thought she’d have. This is a story of a woman who refuses to leave empty-handed: for her grandmother’s surgery, for her dignity, and for the name that still reads “wife” on his registry. She will trade nothing of her soul, and she won't let him own the story of her life.
