To pay off my father's gambling debts, I reluctantly became a mistress. It was a shock when the man's son came to see me, and I discovered he was my ex-boyfriend.

My father had a severe gambling problem, amassing a massive debt that lingered even after he disappeared. To settle it, I became entangled with a local billionaire, Jack, agreeing to a deal of five million a year. But secrets have a way of surfacing. One day, a member of Jack's family arrived at my door, offering me twice the money and stripping away my dignity. It was Jack's son, his handsome face expressionless as he handed me a substantial check and asked, "Is this enough?"

As I exited the private room, I heard him say, "You could have been Mrs. Jack openly. Do you regret it, Judy?"
