Chapter 1

My husband transferred the deed of a multi-million dollar mansion to his intern, Amber Thorne.

Amber flaunted the property deed on SnapChat:

“So grateful for my amazing CEO’s care! This little pup finally has a place to call home in NYC. ❤️”

The sophisticated oil paintings in the room were replaced with cheap, cutesy landscape prints.

I immediately called Leo Sterling.

“Explain this. How did my mansion become someone else’s?”

Leo’s nonchalant voice came through the phone:

“Amber doesn’t have a place in NYC. We have so many houses; we won’t miss this one.”

“You have ten minutes to transfer the property back and restore everything to how it was!”

Leo hung up and didn’t reply.

Three minutes later, Sterling Enterprises’ partners all withdrew their investments.

If he wasn't willing to fix the problem, I wouldn't mind destroying Sterling Enterprises!

Leo still hadn’t contacted me, but Grandpa Sterling called first.

“Aurora, did that brat Leo upset you? Don’t you worry, my family has six other eligible grandsons. If he’s being an idiot, just pick another! But please, don't take it out on Sterling Enterprises!”

I sneered, “Grandpa Sterling, your grandson gave my mansion to a manipulative intern. Would you tolerate that?”

A few seconds of silence, then a gritted voice:

“That ignorant idiot! Aurora, don’t worry, I’ll make him return the house right away.”

Soon, Leo burst into the office.

“Aurora Blackwood, have you lost your mind? For a damn mansion, you actually contacted Grandpa and tried to replace me as the heir to this company!”

“When did you become so vicious?!”

So that's how he saw me.

I gazed out at the rainy window, a chill spreading from my fingertips to my heart.

“That mansion was bought with our joint marital assets. Without my permission, you had no right to give it to anyone else.”

“Leo Sterling, transfer the property back immediately, and that includes all my paintings. Not one can be missing.”

“Otherwise, Sterling Enterprises will lose much, much more!”

Leo fell silent. He knew I always kept my word.

If he didn't do as I said today, I would truly cut off all of Sterling Enterprises’ partnerships.

Finally, he sighed helplessly, “Fine, I promise.”

Then he pressed his lips together, his eyes burning as he looked at me.

This was his usual trick. Every time he made a mistake, he’d put on this expression.

In the past, whenever he looked like that, I would always rush into his arms and hug him tight.

But now, I simply instructed my assistant to show him out.

As a married man, if he couldn't even maintain the most basic boundaries, I had no reason to indulge him.

Soon, the property deed was changed back and returned.

I smashed his favorite antique vase and sent him a picture of the broken pieces on the floor.

“Leo Sterling, you know my temper. Don’t let it happen again!”

He didn’t reply. I knew he was angry.

But he was the one who crossed the line; he couldn’t blame me.
