Liliana POV My company was barely off the ground when Jaxen cut off all support. Cash flow was hanging by a thread, and I couldn’t expand the principal business no matter how hard I pushed. I stayed up half the night replaying every interaction, racking my brain for what the hell I’d done to piss him off. Nothing. Not one damn clue. Then the rumors started circulating through the circles. People were saying Jaxen didn’t divorce Scarlett so I could take back my spot as Luna; he got dumped, and I was just the rebound. When I first heard it, my nails dug hard into my palms. Second-hand leftovers? I’d grown up with the best of everything: clothes, opportunities, status. Now these assholes were painting me like I was scraping by on Scarlett’s scraps? She was the one who stole my life.
