The Gem in His Gilded Cage

Summary

I was Charles Anderson’s trophy mistress, a vixen in bed, bewitching him.

Away from the bedroom, I acted like the lady of the house, regularly clashing with his unrequited first love.

In others’ eyes, I was a stand-in, madly in love with Charles, destined to be discarded.

In reality, I didn’t love him at all; I only loved his money.

Using his name, my business flourished. I was on the verge of joining the ranks of the new business elite.

I decided to dump him first, feigning a dramatic breakup: “Charles, I’ve spent five years and still can’t make you love me… I’m tired. Let’s break up.”
