[Betrayal + Remarriage + Wedding Confrontation + Ex's Public Regret]
Penelope Gibson watched her husband, Mateo Ford, betray her with another woman. His justification? "You can't give me an heir. The Ford name can't die with me." That night, she made a single phone call—to a number no one dared dial—and married the most untouchable man in the city, Leo. The next time Mateo saw her was at her wedding. He dropped to his knees, eyes swollen red. "Penelope, I was wrong. Please, just look at me." She stepped back. Leo caught her by the waist, pulling her close. His voice was quiet, lethal. "Guess you forgot. I'm the one she comes home to now."
