About this story
Sloane played the penny-pinching wife for four years to fund Declan’s architectural firm. But when she discovers he’s using their life savings to house his mistress—and gifting her Sloane's late mother’s heirloom—she doesn't cry. Even as she lies bleeding after a hit-and-run, her emergency calls declined by her husband, Sloane plots. He forgot one detail: she’s the sole heiress to the Kensington Trust. Now, she's pulling the ground lease on his empire.
Chapter 1
The smell of beeswax and turpentine was the only luxury Sloane Kensington allowed herself these days. In the dim light of their cramped apartment’s second bedroom—repurposed as her makeshift restoration studio—Sloane carefully rubbed a soft cloth over the intricate carvings of an 18th-century mahogany side table. She worked with the quiet, methodical patience of a woman who knew how to wait. For four years, she had played the role of the humble, penny-pinching wife, dutifully clipping coupons and scouring estate sales to fund Declan’s dream. She checked the cheap plastic wall clock. Eight-thirty. Dinner was cold.Sloane wiped her hands on her stained apron and stepped out of the studio. The living room was a disaster zone of Declan’s making. He treated their modest apartment as if he had a staff of invisible maids, leaving architectural models, fabric swatches, and drafting tubes scattered across every available surface. Sloane knelt to gather a pile of scattered blueprints near the coffee table. As she reached for a sleek, black drafting tube that Declan had tossed carelessly onto the sofa, the plastic end-cap popped off. A thick roll of glossy, high-bond paper slid out and hit the floor with a heavy thud. Sloane frowned. Declan’s blueprints were always printed on standard wide-format matte. This paper was different. Heavy. Expensive. She picked it up and unrolled it, her eyes scanning the bold, embossed letterhead at the top: *Crown Horizon Realty - Luxury Leasing Agreement.*Sloane froze. Her breath hitched, just for a fraction of a second, before her innate stoicism locked her features into a mask of ice. She smoothed the document over the coffee table and read the fine print. It was a residential lease for a penthouse suite in the Diamond District. The monthly rent was fifteen thousand dollars. *Fifteen thousand dollars.* Sloane’s eyes tracked down to the signatures at the bottom of the page. The primary tenant was listed as Vanessa Price. The financial guarantor—the man who had legally bound himself to cover the exorbitant deposit and the first year’s rent upfront—was Declan Cross.Her husband.Sloane did not cry. A lesser woman might have collapsed onto the cheap rug she had bought at a discount store, sobbing over the betrayal. Instead, Sloane felt a cold, calculated clarity settle over her mind. Just yesterday, Declan had asked her to cancel her dental appointment because they needed to "tighten their belts" for the sake of his architectural firm, Cross Designs. For four years, she had worn thrifted sweaters and cooked bulk-bought rice so he could afford his bespoke suits and client dinners. All the while, he was funneling their life savings—*her* carefully curated, supposedly meager savings—into a penthouse for Vanessa Price, a flashy, status-obsessed interior designer he had recently hired.

After My Husband Gave Our House To His Mistress
I secretly enrolled in a classified national program without informing my husband, Elijah, who happens to be our team's leader. Initially, he didn't think much of it. He merely assumed I had become more compliant. Even when he decided to give a promotion opportunity from the organization to his first love, I remained unfazed. Then he proposed transferring the property meant for me to Paisley, his first love, and asked me to help raise her child. I agreed with a smile, my eyes briefly flickering to the notification of my successful application in my hand. Elijah frowned slightly and warned, "Don't try any tricks. If you change your mind, I'll divorce you immediately!" Feigning concern, I asked, "But if the house goes to her, where will I live?" "The organization has assigned me another place, hasn’t it? Paisley and her kid have a tough life; show some compassion!" Hearing his cold words, I couldn't help but feel a secret satisfaction. With his generous nature, he might be open to donating all his assets to the Heartland Welfare Foundation, right?
