Chapter 1

I spent five years struggling alongside Rob, staying by his side through his poorest days.

But on the very day his company was about to go public, he handed me divorce papers and a bankruptcy filing.

He told me he wanted to be child-free for the rest of his life, and that he didn’t want to waste my prime years anymore.

Heartbroken and worried about his mountain of debts, I left him with every single penny of my savings. I walked away quietly, trying to give him a dignified exit.

Yet, in a cruel twist of fate, I ended up working as a private chef in the most luxurious mansion in the Hollywood Hills, cooking for none other than his new pregnant wife.

I watched this woman, glowing with a six-month baby bump, wearing the exact pink diamond necklace I had designed myself—the one Rob had once ridiculed as cheap. She paraded around, bragging about the business empire Rob had built just for her.

That was the moment I finally realized the truth. He didn’t want to be child-free. He just didn't want to have a child with me.

He thought I wouldn't be able to survive without him.

Little did he know, every single dish I prepared in this mansion was a carefully crafted step toward his ultimate ruin.

This time, I’m going to make them pay back everything they owe me, with a thousand times the pain!
